> Now place a candle in the middle of the room, one that shines light in every direction. As the light bounces around the different corners, will it always illuminate the whole roo…

Despite the headline I don’t see anything about deleting data. Just that it won’t try to recognize you. That being said, I went on my profile to check and it was already set to No …

Seems like it was false! You can use this while married on Facebook

I look forward to seeing if your first statement is true.

It sounds to me like a primary use case of this would be... cheating... Unlike other dating platforms, this one is integrated with your supposedly up to date profile. Being able to…

A similar lesson was learned for cattle. Compressing them en route to slaughter makes them significantly calmer.

I think I’d remember if someone else altered my memories.

There are reasonable concerns about using genetic modifications to kill things like mosquitos, but why don’t we use this tech against invasive species which we want to be absolutel…

Feels like a let them eat cake argument to me. I’m sure many others would like to have the luxury of remote work and leisurely paced travel. This isn’t a useful perspective for the…

Well they’re clearly being marketed as having actual use. Whether it’s true... could go either way

This jumped out at me too. It’s pretty garbage, but it may be that garbage works

It might have some downsides, but let’s not forget about the daily torture and atrocities we experienced before the government started manipulating our memories.

Nah that’s not the same thing. In this case it’s just choosing an option that involves very large numbers because it’s learned that it’s opponent can’t handle large numbers. There’…

Ok but you’re kind of just throwing numbers into the mix here to justify your position. What if the manager makes $12.50 an hour? Or $10? The notion that people with low wages can’…

There’s plenty of evidence to suggest some portion of likelihood of being gay is controlled by parental hormones. E.g. the probability of being gay is observably higher in men born…

Pointing out that some people can feels like a lame excuse for justifying doubt when someone says they can’t. Almost everyone does not choose their orientation. It’s not a growing …

Ok but the question isn’t about a norm of death and illness, it’s about a single one off individual error

You’re saying that management can influence events and that’s true. But management can minimize risk to more than acceptable levels and the individual can still screw up due to the…

So... can management acknowledge individual errors if they’re paid highly?

I feel like in the past few years customer service has gotten much better for most companies. I have had reasonably concise and helpful calls with my bank, telecom provider, utilit…

Kind of like Thompson sampling Wouldn’t work for the subcontractors though. Margins are too thin to have a volatile demand like that.

I think that your depiction of whales is generally incorrect. There are certainly apps that try to trick kids by requiring currency that is not-obviously real money. These exist fo…

> It's never the fault of the guy on $8.50 an hour. The buck stops with management; the buck always stops with management. Not really. Persistent problems are management’s fault. I…

Sounds... improbable? Are you sure you’re not just comparing two areas of different cost of living?
