Let me choose. This common point seems more like a rationalization for the default behavior of hyperscalers. AWS isn't avoiding prepaid due to concern about my site's virality, just that prepaid = less money.

Their point is that empathy is a (very useful) emotional response. It doesn't give you a correct model of the other persons mind.

Someone could be extremely proficient in disciplines that are associated with 'raw' intelligence, and yet utterly fail at theory of mind. Anyone that has been in a college campus probably has seen examples e.g, Classmate might cli

Chilean here, totally understandable by paying attention. I didn't even know Brazil was under dictatorship in '77. The whole point of the secret agent framing is that it works better if you don't know much about the setting.

>One of the boring and meaningless movies I ever seen. No arc, no coherent story, (almost) no humor, no development, no intrigue, nothing. I understand finding the movie too long or difficult to follow without historical context, or even

Not really familiar with Brazil (although I am with military juntas) but I think the spy misdirect helps a lot. If you are slightly observant you will get the gist by the middle of the movie. The spy thriller aspect avoids making the uncert

Yeah yeah, it isn't arthouse but, is it a less of a thinker than Pulp Fiction? I have the suspicion that GP would find IMDb Top movies agreeable and they aren't all deeply introspective films, which isn't a bad thing. I think

Just be rich (in debt) like Americans seems like a bad plan for a global brand. Poorer countries outside NA and the EU buy stuff too, y'know.

I would posit that the human brain is complex, and adding senses is simpler than replicating an aspect of the mind more accurately.

>Tesla is leading and succeeding. People have faith in Musk as a leader. Nobody trusts CCP EVs, just like nobody trusts Huawei or Xiaomi phones. That sounds literally like a religious mantra. Do rational investors have 'faith'

Yeah sure, all those Brazilian and Ugandan 65 year olds that are emigrating to the US for the Medicare. It's not like you need critically need nurses or tax generating young people in general.

I don't know, FIFA is a den of villainy, but what happens if I dunno... half the Brazilian team ends up on an ICE camp? It wouldn't be during airport customs, but what if Agent Cletus sees the team bus and thinks that he can get a

I find it very telling that most comments are supposedly seeing contempt for rural people in this piece, or that it classifies wood burning as primitive. I live in a country where wood still is the most common fuel, even in the urban areas

I think a rural farmer from 1925 can understand "I pay an immigrant to deliver me hot food via an exploitative middleman", if he's Indian maybe his cousin that went to the city is a dabbawalla. Like you can do your hypothetic
