What the heck is an AI governance role that would remotely require these kinds of ratios? PCI compliance is critical in payments and no one would suggest you need "PCI governance" in a single digit ratio to "builders".
This is one sentence.
Is this notable because AWS is commenting this?
Pretty sure the right generally believes the left has been doing the same.
Previously, it was a more libertarian and constitutional argument: progressive causes since the new deal have assumed powers not granted.
More recently this has completely flipped to a populist culture war argument that the left, in excesses seen in the DEI hayday before COVID, has lost its mind and began attacking and punishing people.
My point isn't to argue "no you" but to instead invalidate your point about lessons and outcomes. The centers of these two tribes exist in separate realities and experiences. Escalating is unlikely to have the effect of bringing those perspectives together.
A) this court has a number of originalists, more likely to reject grabs for power than more progressive judges. There's worse things than a court that tries to adhere to the constitution when the executive branch and Congress both routinely do not.
B) do you really want to get to a place where the arbiters get politically reset and degraded every time the pendulum swings? This is the equivalent of a courtroom where a defendant or plaintiff can threaten to fire the judge or add their cousin as a co-judge.
I'm confused where all of this censorship is originating from. What wave of efforts is culminating? I can't really explain this from any movement I can see.
Exactly as described in "how to win friends and influence people". Break their stuff and extort money.
In this market, neither the producer nor the consumer are responding to price signals and often neither knows what anything costs. The Payer (literal healthcare industry terminology) does but isn't producing nor consuming the service.
This is why this isn't a free market. It's not about regulation, it's about the system being divorced from responding to market dynamics.
If you’re just a gladhander for an algorithm, what are you really needed for?
I completely agree.
It's worth remembering the UN fought in the Korean war and wasn't was always a place for authoritarian regimes to pass useless resolutions and make noise.
The fact we, as humanity, have allowed so many genocides and slave nations to exist, and to treat them with a measure of equality, is a failing.
And, to be clear, I'm not talking about people I disagree with politically. I'm talking about places and peoples like North Korea and Cambodia and Sudan. There's a ton of shades of gray, but some situations really require a special kind of blindness to pretend are gray.
While bots are possible, another confounding factor is that the most prolific social media posters are strongly correlated with psychiatric disorders.

Anecdotally, either and both could be true: what "normal" person actually cares very much about the logo of a chain restaurant? Most people care about whether they can afford fun things, who they're sleeping with, and what they're having for dinner.
(US centric assumption)
It might be easier to change today than it was in 1886. Back then, trains were really the only means of travel between cities. Today, there are less passenger trains than back then, though more freight (even with trucks and planes). But freight diversions/delays could be scheduled well in advance and have alternative means. Not to mention, since then we've developed variable gauge train tech. A subset of trains could run during the cutover.
It's likely more costly today, but less disruptive.
In a hypothetical hacker news guide for how to win friends and influence people, I'm pretty sure "you're so wrong you should go talk to a chat bot" is not a recommended approach.
I hope you're right, for what it's worth. It's a better world than "the only thing that helps Europeans snap out of it is intense economic pain combined with a Russian invasion of the Baltics"
These socialist countries that are so happy because of the money they pour into healthcare and education, do so at the expense of their future growth and their own self defense.
This seems unsustainable.
The US is also a much larger and heterogenous society compared to the countries above us on most lists, such as the scandinavian countries or Lichtenstein.
Anecdotally, when the homeless have smart phones to accept donations and obesity is an epidemic of the poor, we're not suffering for material wealth. A poverty of virtue, maybe so.
We can agree to disagree without name-calling, but the impact of compounding growth vs intentional stagnation is going to continue to widen the gap that's already opened up over a few generations.
Your model works when every player provides something of value.
What does Europe's self indulgent attitude bring to the international table?
It is and it's a best practice. I've never heard anyone complain about this.
Most security scanning software will ding any site that doesn't use HSTS
If demand for ownership is such that prices make |cost paying mortgage| + |cost maintenance, insurance, etc| < |income renting| then there's a clear profit from buying and renting as much property as possible. This will continue, increasing demand, until an equilibrium is met.
It works the other way as well to dampen demand for investment properties.
It appears to be true. https://github.com/apache/openoffice/activity
"Some merchants may be seeing a higher-than-usual decline due to Gateway rejections Fraud."
Is this really "down"?
Actually, free markets do lead to better products. But they cost more than the worse products.
Look at coffee. The gradual shift from Arabica to more Robusta beans over a generation. Each year, an imperceptible shift was taken that, over decades, lead to coffee that tastes terrible. Opening the door for companies like Starbucks and a ton of gourmet roasters to compete.
But properly roasted, single origin coffee costs more than Chock-full-o'nuts. So you have options.
No, this is pretty typical (I'm American).
The only time people who are more than a few years into their career are asked about degrees (and grades) in an interview is at very bureaucratic organizations or when being interviewed by someone themselves barely out of school who lacks awareness.
Mild is subjective. Truth isn't determined by a majority.
Tyranny is on a dimmer switch.
As a counterpoint to most of the comments in this thread, maybe cereal (even with all the sugar) isn't as unhealthy as people think.
Same with my cat. The instincts seem deeply rooted.
As an American who has attempted to learn other languages, it's amazing to me the concept that spelling should reflect pronunciation.
As advice for those folks learning English, don't assume spelling means anything.
Why do you think so?
So boiling isn't strictly required, though it has nice benefits on the wort (in a phase called the "hot break"). However, it is necessary to reach certain temperature (140-160 F, though broader may work) to convert starch into sugar.
In old times, a metal vessel large enough to boil an entire batch of wort may not have been feasible. Other techniques were used in these cases.
Say you have a wooden barrel or tub:
* Take off a portion of the wort, boil it, and add it back. This is decoction.
* Heat rocks and add them into the wort.
You weren't alive for billions of years and it didn't bother you.
The idea of impermanence can also be liberating. All our mistakes, failures, and problems will ultimately be washed away by the crashing waves of time. It takes the pressure off a bit.
At least that's how I use the same realization to provide comfort at times.
There's an old joke that emacs stands for Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping.
Hopefully they didn't go to lunch after hitting "merge".
