Furthermore, is it really up to a book review site to solve the problem of identity and anonymity on the Internet? Seems like the wrong place in the stack to focus on that.

More React will solve everything.

I don't think anyone seriously questions whether the non-approval of Merrick Garland was done in good faith or not. Rather, the phraseology used is whether it was constitutional. McConnell didn't use a pretext, he flat out acknowledged what he was doing, and that it was constitutionally his prerogative.

This seems to blur the lines between "hate speech is a thing" and "hate speech should be banned." They are fundamentally different questions, and conflating them invites the normative fallacy.

Surprised you're not being heavily downvoted already. (I don't agree with that, just surprised.)

I do however think extreme hate speech is a real thing, it's just misapplied to the point where anything anyone disagrees with is labeled hate speech.

Because at the end of the day, all negativity is based on hate, right? If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all (which is a nice convenient bromide for eliminating real critical thought.)

Why is that?

And ended up making an AI service that's really good at... lying.

"the actual truth"

I really hope they are not hand picking only My Best Friend and NBA videos.

> open the site in incognito and go to the "trending" tab.

I just tried that and all of the top trending videos were something called "My Best Friends" followed by a long scroll of NBA videos.

This is a fight you don't want to back away from or you will likely regret it for the rest of your life.

But don't fight, let the investor see the other guy as a "fighter" while you stay focused on the company fundamentals.

Watched Nouriel absolutely destroy Joe Lubin in a debate at Lubin's conference, in front of hundreds of Eth (and presumably Lubin) supporters, who by the end had no doubts who won. And yes, quite a nice guy in private conversation.

"hippy dippy" ?

Turns out, the minority is right FWIW.

But you still can't stop language from changing no matter how "right" you are you.

Ah, thanks for the information. Interesting that such vibrations can only affect the attitude and not the orbit itself. Keen to hear from anyone who cares to share more of the science involved here!

It's bad enough when they go into an unbalanced spin cycle here on Earth, but it does seem that could seriously affect the stability of a space station's orbit. I was surprised this wasn't mentioned even in passing in the article.

> What I can't do is teach them to be able to reason and write code and do the engineering work I hired them for.

Excuse me if I'm missing the obvious, but why can't you teach them that? Seems like it'd be right up your alley.

That's Aristotle all over, no originality of thought, but just riding the wave of his zeitgeist.

This is a fine response that provides real insight into how you see the problem and opportunity costs, and not typical CEO empty rhetoric. Good luck with your platform.

I don't think he said the absence of a positive affirmation, but the positive assertion of a negative value.

Not that they didn't praise rockstars, but they specifically came out against them.

> a manager that espouses the "we don't want", that's EXACTLY what they want.

How does that work? Sincere question.

But all the little monkeys don't understand science.

I admit I'm a bit confused by this statement. To me it reads as saying a platform everyone posted to but no one ever read would be a good thing, basically twitter as cat > dev/null.

The last time this happened, Ghengis Khan was still alive.

It's ravenous.

Well duh, do you really think robots would take the shit jobs first? Would you? Or if you don't think so, it only makes sense they'd come for managers first, when you think about it. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I literally thought this had already happened years ago. Have no idea why.

How does the way we distribute meat create that much more carbon emission than distributing a comparable amount of plant based food?

The solution is obviously to invent empathy technology.

Well yes, the poster was quite clear in his assertion that Pascal, Hume, and Kierkegaard are all either bullshitters or quite meaningless (reducible to semantics.)
