The answer is contractors and consultants. State agencies routinely work with third parties that need to be able to share files. Obviously this isn’t universal but it isn’t uncommo…

It escalates tensions for no readily identifiable reason. Like we’re not looking to pick a fight with China or Russia right now, and saying “hey y’all we captured a Chinese drone” …

Where did it mention that they were unable to get imagery of the drones or recover one? If the thesis is that this may be a foreign incursion, I very much doubt that they’d broadca…

You are not capable of interacting simultaneously with millions of people who regard you as anything approaching a source of truth.

Anyone who’s old enough to have a 20 year military career is at least a millennial.

Furthermore, most people panicking about dnd and raves have exactly zero experience with either. Almost everyone has experience with social media and a lot of the criticism of it c…

Low-code is just good libraries and good frameworks. My hot take is that anything “low code” beyond that is just an aggressively user-hostile config interface.

Cardio in the mornings. I used to work out mainly at night, and I still lift in the afternoons, but going on a jog or bike ride right after getting up is amazing. No matter how shi…

There are a lot of things in life that would be trivial if everyone was really good at what they did, had the most perfectly pure of intentions, and were omnisciently aware. Unfort…

Try teaching or tutoring for a while, either something academic or not. You get the chance to talk to groups, it’s going to be a topic you know well and are comfortable with, and y…

I think the author kind of has it backward. Most people I know (specifically younger people that I work with) that struggle with perfectionism are afraid to fail enough to master s…

The point of the Stasi wasn’t to find/prosecute dissent, it was to create an environment that prevented it from occurring, spreading, or gaining traction. The Stasi existed to sow …

I have experienced clinical depression and physical activity was absolutely 100% a critical part of both recovery and maintaining mental health. Most (but not all) people that I kn…

I’ve always loved technical analysis discourse because it’s the starkest example of how to actually make money in financial markets, and that’s to actively cultivate information as…

Never fear, we’ll get there

Seconding this. You can have all the meetings you want, but at the end of the day the core competency of bank management is managing money and not managing IT, and banks suck at ma…

It is effectively not possible to be a mod of a subreddit without third party apps. I don’t think people fully understand just how awful the native mod suite is for Reddit, and thi…

At least with chess (and plenty of other games) it’s a structured way of participating in cooperative competition/competitive cooperation. Your peers are your adversaries when you’…

The origin 100% does matter. It demonstrates that some kinds of virus research pose an existential threat to humanity if not handled properly. That seems relevant, especially when …

I live in Atlanta and Korean isn’t quite taco-level ubiquity but it’s darn close. Everyone I know under the age of 40 does an h-mart run somewhat regularly and kbbq is a goto group…

> almost everything innovative looks like a bad idea to almost everyone I disagree really strongly with this. Innovative things look like impractical long shots that have obvious u…

In Reddit arguments, there are only losers.

+1 for government. I work with state and local governments a fair bit, and while there’s a lot of red tape and weird politics, the overwhelming majority of clients I work with are …

This is their business model and their marketing targets exactly the group of people who are clueless enough to continue paying them. Why risk selling to someone who has a nose for…
