Seattle police laughed off one of their officers running someone over, saying the victim was low value. Religious groups everywhere chant about death for non-believers. Right wing fringe threaten to attack progressives regardless of their g

Life -> volcano -> death ? -> volcano -> ? No life preceding death, so no death. Volcano and meteors are variables, while life preceding death is a constant.

Is it common? The point is asserted at the top of the article, but no data is provided to back it.

You said a mandate that the last hour of the work day be set aside for socialization, but also it should not be mandated? I think you’re just going to annoy people who would rather go home and people who would rather use that hour to work.

You made a grammatically correct point but I’m not sure it’s logically sound. Human Twitter posters are members of society. How is it possible to wave off Twitter as not a problem in society when Twitter users exist as part of society?

During his tenure at EA, Unity CEO previously floated cash micro transactions to purchase in game ammo if a player ran out but could not find any. Generally speaking it’s not hard to argue corporate leadership has lost the fucking plot alto

It’s reasonable to assume otherwise. My takeaway is it reads like a scientific publication; here’s authors premise, and author walks through an example of what they mean. The title and subtitle are generic enough to apply to any of the trib

> Only fair way to do this is just start during the last hour of the work day. Why is that the only way? > Does everyone here despise casual time with their coworkers or what? What’s with the trend to hypernormalize human agency and p

Oh I am? Ok, sure. Did not realize there was an obligation to avoid “being weird” to your sensibilities.

Constructive inquiry is different than the whine Dawkins is discussing. He’s saying what you said; people write things, fuck off if you don’t like what they write, trans people, right wing people, liberal people, HN people. And it’s being s

Agreed. I appear to be less dismissive and more open minded in my interpretations.

No it’s about hypersensitive minority groups and uses one as an example.

Why did you invoke gender? The quote is generic enough to my reading it could mean any one of various mathematical minorities. Do we all join in with Trump flag waving caravans of F150s? They were a whiny minority recently.

Only ever due to human ineptitude or intentional malfeasance, has a robot killed a human. Never of their own free will. Life itself is the leading cause of death.

“No such thing as bad press.” has been a thing for a while now. PR teams peddle memes that play up character; “that persons a maverick and rebel” or “taken out of context” without ever providing the context, or retconning the clearly define

Google’s window of having the best product closed over a decade ago. Payola schemes been keeping them afloat since mobile took off. App stores would have become the new default search for a solution engine.

History suggests there are two paths; human social norms evolve or an angry mob chanting catechism only they care about starts a war. The bits about Detroit and Hollywood are easily explained by generational churn of less media savvy, scien

“We’ll take our ball and go play somewhere else” is an empty threat. 300+ million people don’t just vanish because CEOs move their companies. The leverage they have is politically manipulated fiat money traditions. The leverage the public h

Eh, yeah. Once had a service provider promise their new API would “easily” handle our needs (I still remember the tone the sales rep used every time he said easily; it so reliably came out sounding the same every time, it seemed practiced).

Nothing changes until January 1, 2024. Would not surprise me if it was a heavy handed management decision dumped on engineers laps last minute, and is barely implemented at this point.

Peaceful protests that intentionally meddled with others lives to generate headlines. They could have peacefully protested in a corn field. If that’s what Canada allows, then you’re right about the liberals needing to go so conservative lea

US mental health crisis is 100% driven by systemic lack of empathy. Makes sense it’s not getting better. Jpow and corporate are coming for worker gains. Climate change is waved off as a subjective mental illness. Religious and secular toxic

“Almost a religion” is apt. Higher education system as we know it started in the church. As belief in god-kings wained, landed gentry sought to keep their kids from peasant work; kings decree a family was beyond such work was seen as unfair

Not as true with inflation here though. Anyone tech worker buying a home now needs a bigger down payment or will face a massive mortgage. Add in the inflation of food and hygiene products, a $100-$150k year salary has the buying power of $5

If that’s his interpretation of peoples concern, then he is living in a fantasy world. There are partisan nutters on on Twitter peddling AI generated images of politicians engaged in things they’ve never done. It’s not Skynet going rogue th
