A thousand digital monkeys and a thousand terminals..

You need legal insurance.

Cutting yourself off from civilization is not the hallmark of a society that is growing in a positive direction.

Where does this lack ethics? It seems that they are providing a useful service, that they created with their hard work. People are allowed to make money with their work.

It absolutely is. I know of independent researchers doing some side project work on various social media platforms utilizing chatGPT for responses and measuring engagement.

If you give a mouse a cookie…

This has definitely not been my experience, nor my colleagues’ experiences.

Probably the culture milieu in those countries that encourages cheating/winning at any cost, much more so than most. (Although I’d argue that the top two would be China/India).

As to your very last point, it isn’t my “job”. It’s yet another task that I take on for no recognition, nor additional pay - as is much of academic life.

“Just a phone” is incredibly reductive, and not an argument made in good faith.

Religions “take” 10% of your income??

Definitely end the H1-B program.

It’s bad for everyone in tech because it drives wages down artificially.

What “we” did? Speak for yourself sir.

Easy to predict the future when you write about it after the fact.

That’s literally what it is though.

How is it that a domain is an abstract entity, when something like an API is concrete? They are both something that is interacted with in the system? Or is it purely contextual based on the perspective of the person/team preparing the diagram?

Rgr. Thanks again for the balanced moderation.

Agreed, I was merely pointing out what their initial comment was saying.

I understand what you are saying.

My only comment on that matter would be that one need not reside in any particular location to work for the CCP, they have workers all over the world, from many different backgrounds. I wasn’t implying that he/she was of any particular ethnicity, race, or nationality - not have I denigrated such. To further that point, I then asked where they were from to gain perspective on their comments, there was nothing insulting meant in my asking. (I actually meant to go back and change the accusation of working for CCP comment, and overlooked it.) However, it did seem like they were a new account, with comments not made in good faith (imo), and they were pushing a distinct CCP narrative that I see often in my research in this topic.

Thank you for taking a balanced hand to moderation here. I understand it can’t be easy.

That was not their reaction. They just wanted to know how it qualifies as “cyber punk”.

It lets others understand perspective a bit better.

Where are you from and where do you now reside?

How long have you worked for the CCP?

Why all the quotes? It makes your response seem either sarcastic or disbelieving, either way a bit disrespectful.

PHP/Symfony

And yet nearly all of them have an iPhone of the same cost.

“enough friction and a timesink”

Have you taught students before? Many will spend inordinate amounts of time to not learn the material. Often times it seems there is no friction too great if it allows one to not think too hard.

“Oral exams also don't scale and raise obvious equity issues.”

Not to be intentionally obtuse, but what are the obvious equity issues?

So much “butts in seats” and not as much concern for Productivity.
