I get that its virtue signaling but who is the intended audience who would actually believe it and appreciate it?

no need for billions of years of pre-training, they were designed that way from the start :)

Hard to imagine anyone believes these prehuman theories. Just look at the h hablis wiki page to see 90% of it is pure speculation and debated.

stop misgendering me!!!

doomerism at the society level which overrides individual freedoms definitely occurs: covid lockdowns, takeover of private business to fund/supply the world wars, gov mandates around "man made" climate change.

patching it after the fact is definitely needed. same way I use a plugin to filter out curse words because when it comes to your brain, garbage in = garbage out. patching "news" stories after the fact will never be perfect though because half the problem with "journalism" is omission of facts, not just biased half-truths or opinions.

yes I got the notice 2 weeks ago on FF with ublock origin, then last week the 3 video countdown, and now the full ban

that study's numbers make no sense. Looks like a hit job on southern conservatives. Try this: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/divorce-statist...

food stamps can be used to buy nutritious food

that future is already here. I'm imagining being beholden to a low/no code platform (lockin and infinite price increases) because that's all you know.

Perhaps the idea here is for the high performers to leave and be replaced with obedient cult members at a cheaper price?

yep, the older you are the better you see through this nonsense. first it was global cooling - fail, then global warming - fail, now climate change which is a mighty convenient catch-all term to be used to justify whatever fake solution is being proposed.

whatever fits the agenda

that's great for you. at my company devops are still doing monthly releases and unable to deploy single microservices because all the services are too interconnected.

perhaps the difference is that attitude is fine when building hobby or saas apps adding no real value to the world however that's not the type of behavior we'd expect to see for engineers having responsibility for critical systems dealing with finance, health, etc.

not a red flag at all..as long as they are competent at dev work. Many devs just want to dev and have no interest in taking on lead responsibilities, architecture, negotiating with product owners, attending lots of unproductive meetings, etc.

"During the meeting, which is known in internal Amazon lingo as a “fishbowl” meeting, Jassy declined to share data that motivated his decision to require employees to return to the office. The CEO told his charges it was a “judgment” call."

This is a well-known criticism of the game though. Even putting rune mgmt and crafting aside, after dinging a new level, you should be hitting up the vendor and upgrading/selling gear so that you can deal with enemies at your new level effectively. And you do that process x4 because you are managing 4 characters. I personally didn't mind the ceremony too much but I can definitely see how some people would be put off by it.

step 1: acquire girlfriend step 2: do the needful

If its affecting your mental health so much, perhaps you should change jobs.

maybe this is a veiled reference to their offshore employees.

sounds like Jung's idea has you.

lol thanks.

I bought a cheap android phone to drive my drone specifically due to the mandatory chinese spyware app.

Maybe I'm more cynical than you because I think lots of hn posts are fishing attempts :)

When hornets make a nest outside your garage, do you intervene or do you live and let live?

Yeah its an age/experience thing.
