Bayesian reasoning would lead me to think that a high rate of failures means even if QA is 99.9% amazing and dev is AI 80% slop, there still will be more poor features and bugs (99.9% * 80% = 79.92%) than if both are mediocore (%90 * %90 = 81%)

You're correct, they force me to notice over and over again.

Ads. Ads are forcing me to care about the Olympics. Peer pressure forces me to watch the Olympics to know what people are talking about.

Patents no longer go to individual people. They go to corporations. Perhaps we should ban corporations from getting patents on behalf of people.

It's easy to transplant a pigney into a human. The hard part is keeping them alive afterward, especially in the long term. It seems like the event is not far enough in the past to know.

It's also not so great a leap to think that supporting a country means supporting its citizens. Your interpretation is valid, I don't understand why it would need heavy moderation. Perhaps hiding the post and asking it to reword it to be clearer?

SponsorBlock helps with this also, even when it's incorporated into the video (via muting the audio).

Look, I don't have the capacity to precisely answer your question. But if it is rare that people are failing through the cracks after taking a risk that's all the more reason to do it. It should be cheap.

Depends on your situation. If you have family and friends maybe, but lots of people don't survive and you don't see them. Healthcare, housing, food, etc. is mostly tied to employment or lots of money. People don't have time or energy to figure out any alternatives if they exist, and face eviction and starvation if they don't, which is a whole new world of not being able to survive. We see lots of drug abuse, theft, suicide, and similar things precisely because there is no safety net.

Oh sure, like you can just do that if you're out of money. (/sarcasm) It costs money and time to get a passport, fly out, have a destination that will accept you, figure out security for yourself, etc. Plus, you're making it harder for the existing people there to keep prices low.

"Scared pussies" survive, but don't do anything. What we need is a good social safety net so people are confident that when they take a risk and fail, it doesn't mean their life ends.
