Feels like now we're just redefining our rules so that the people we don't like are out and the people we like are in. Does the content creator have the right to determine how their work is used or not?

What's the worst-case scenario they're trying to avoid from being 100% dependent on SpaceX? Perhaps it's something like the present scenario. If the vaccine is as bad as the disease, then skip the vaccine and just chance it.

Probably so that you can put Director on your resume even though you're an M1 manager and not get called out for it publicly.

The new LT would have to continue to interact with SNCOs in the battalion who had outranked him, which might cause friction.

It's too bad that asking "source?" comes across as hostile unless clarified to be otherwise. Maybe the internet should adopt something similar to the "/s" tag that signals that sentiment.

Did a data scientist write this? You don't need to be a member of a priesthood to run experiments. You just need to know what you're doing.

It can be one way for many subs, and another way for others. Go to a sub that deals with controversial issues, find a threat with a lot of deleted posts, and look up that thread on unddit.com. Often times you will see mods deleting all diss

The masses got stampeded into supporting the protest because people like to feel that they're taking part in some righteous battle. Sucks for spez that he got outmaneuvered by a cabal of mods who derive their feeling of importance (and

It's a reasonable policy if we're talking about a very niche hobby. If it's /r/news or /r/nfl where the name serves as a natural Schelling point, then it will attract power-hungry people who are able to in

Nah, it was overdue, and this provides an impetus to execute a purge which would have been hard to do before. Never let a crisis go to waste.

They took the ball and went home. Some went through the motions of having a poll to try to legitimize it, as if the community would rather just shut down their subreddit for good because the mods feel disrespected.

Reddit should allow shadow moderation teams to fork a subreddit--easily findable on the subreddit's page rather than through the grapevine about the alt's existence, which users can opt into--to address the issue of name squatting

Not the same, because if we were already living longer, our societies would have been adapted to that environment.

BRK doesn't try to guess right in global macro. They are fundamentally business analysts. I wouldn't try to read into it a political forecast. They would disclaim any expertise themselves.

Problem is, nobody asks life advice from people whose failing was that they worked too little.

The problem with robots comes from the fact that you don't own the robot that replaces your job. When I write a script to make a job that took one hour take one minute, I benefit from that. When someone else creates software that does

Thanks for posting that quote and saving me the trouble of reading it. I thought he might have actually had some original insight to bring to this issue.

This is a good thing. The sports themselves don't go away. This just means that the cable sports business model is less viable. Maybe now MNF, the hallowed American institution, will go back to network and be viewable by the rest of us

Reading these comments reminds me of the AirBnB ad I saw on twitter. Clicked through and sure enough, every single response was railing against AirBnB. Had a good chuckle at how AirBnB paid for an ad-hoc localized forum for people to compla

Seems like a microcosm of the gentrification controversy. I'd like to see BM fork, just to see a social experiment play out, as it might be instructive for other issues that are not so conducive to experimentation. Have a BM2 where the

You have it backwards. The English are on the fence about it, but the Scots want to remain by a huge margin. If the UK votes to leave, it's very likely that it will trigger a re-referendum for Scotland to leave the UK and rejoin the EU
