Thanks for catching that, it was probably something different but I’ve deleted it now and added another discussion from 2007 where pg also commented, there’s a lot more discussions, these are just a sample.

For historical value, the effort to remove Aaron as Reddit co-founder by Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman.

paulgraham 40 points 14 years ago

Aaron's not wrong to call himself one of the founders. The company behind Reddit was a merger of two startups, one that made Reddit and one that made Infogami, and in that situation the founders of both startups are considered founders of the combined company.

What surprises me is how stupid they think we all are and how much they can get away with.
Good news and ‘one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’

Same, stopped reading and closed the tab.
> The Lincoln Project acknowledged they were behind the stunt after VICE News identified one of the people in the photo as a Democratic operative.

Quote above from the article and below the full statement from The Lincoln Project:

October 29, 2021 — Today, The Lincoln Project released the following statement:

“Glenn Youngkin has said: ‘President Trump represents so much of why I am running.’ Youngkin proves it every day by trying to divide Virginians using racial code words like Critical Race Theory and supporting a ban on teaching the works of America’s only Black Nobel laureate.

“The Lincoln Project has run advertisements highlighting the hate unleashed in Charlottesville as well as Glenn Youngkin’s continued failure to denounce Donald Trump’s ‘very fine people on both sides.’ We will continue to draw this contrast in broadcast videos, on our social media platforms, and at Youngkin rallies.

“Today’s demonstration was our way of reminding Virginians what happened in Charlottesville four years ago, the Republican Party’s embrace of those values, and Glenn Youngkin’s failure to condemn it.

“The Youngkin campaign is enraged by our reminder of Charlottesville for one simple reason: Glenn Youngkin wants Virginians to forget that he is Donald Trump’s candidate.

“We will continue to hold Glenn Youngkin accountable. If he will denounce Trump’s assertion that the Charlottesville rioters possessed ‘very fine’ qualities, we’ll withdraw the tiki torches. Until then, we’ll be back.”

Why was this flagged? If it’s that bad, wouldn’t we benefit from construct criticism?
Is his oversimplification true to the original researchers findings or is he inserting unproven claims?

What makes it pseudoscience and what author’s would you recommend apart from the ones you already mentioned?

Gazzaniga is featured on the documentary, is the documentary any good?

What’s the real story here and what sources do you recommend for an outsider?

You gotta give it up to the disconnect, sense of entitlement and grandiose delusion of VCs for wanting to not only create another shitcoin but a WORLD coin, which they own 20%, premine.

Have you seen who they are going after?

> In order to test this model and technology, we have onboarded twenty-five Operators that run more than thirty devices in twelve countries across four continents (Africa, South America, Europe and Asia).

> To illustrate the success and potential of these Operators, we will dive deeper into the operations from the following five countries: Chile, Kenya, Indonesia, Sudan and France.

This is sickening.

Maybe Google’s managers are also kept out of the loop.
Individually, we must build alternatives and don’t give up and if it works out, don’t sell out.

Look at lichess.org, it’s possible.

Reads as clickbait blogspam for an author promoting their forthcoming book.

Re:Amazon warehouse employee in Poland dies at work on Wednesday October 20, 2021 @06:44AM (#28929132)
Your comment belongs to some sort of dystopian fiction, but it’s sort of real as Amazon uses third parties so the blame doesn’t really ‘lies’ with Amazon, sickening.

> BERLIN — The workers came from across Europe to pack boxes for the online retailer Amazon at distribution centers in Germany during the Christmas rush. They did not expect to be watched over — some say intimidated — by thugs in neo-Nazi-style clothing and jackboots.

> On Friday, Amazon said it was investigating claims made in a documentary that a subcontractor employed security guards with neo-Nazi ties to oversee the immigrant workers. > The documentary, broadcast Wednesday on the ARD public television network, showed guards in black uniforms with H.E.S.S., after Hensel European Security Services, but also the last name of Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess, emblazoned on their chests.

> According to the film, security guards employed by the subcontractor scared and intimidated hundreds of temporary workers from Hungary, Poland, Spain and other European countries.
