People have been claiming "this is the end" of the US, for some reason or another, ever since I've been on the internet (since 2005). This same sentiment was going around in 2016 w…

Then it's subjective, what they define as a waste of money, this is par for the course when it comes to choosing what to fund. You do not trust the current administration to be obj…

> "diversity related topics" included things like biodiversity which is an important area of research and should be apolitical. Not because of a shift in focus, but because of top-…

Personally, as someone that has heard non-stop about how horrible the US is from Europeans ever since I was on the internet, I don't give statements from EU officials much weight. …

What is US losing, relative to Europe/other countries? I can't really think of many notable things to come out of Europe as of late... besides maybe covid vaccines but its hard to …

I'm OOTL, but there _is_ a ton of waste when it comes to money we give out. The article itself even says here: > [...] the US government has cut scientific grants to academics work…

I'll hold my breath, but this would be fantastic. We need to automate away the boring/hard jobs.

AFAIK, downloading or watching pirated stuff isn't something you'll get in trouble for. Hosting and distributing it is what will get you.

I don't know if I can ever buy a non-Tesla car again (unless its a truck). I'll check out Rivian next time though, as those look pretty damn good. Like you, I don't know of any oth…

I have gotten so many malicious pop ups on news sites and nobody likes ads. They will have to pivot.

Well, sure. I'm not afraid I'll get stabbed but I'm not a fan of some dude staring daggers at my wife and I while he laughs and talks to himself. When I've traveled alone I've seen…

I think the biggest issue is the _vast_ majority of news is noise. It won't effect you. Maybe you could argue we should be "aware" of certain events happening but I'd argue most on…

Mozilla is the problem, not FireFox. I just don't really feel like using FireFox while Mozilla has a hand in it.

Makes sense. The problem I have with it is that there's no way they could have determined if an API key was stolen or not, even to this day. Basically, their docs (which seemed aut…

Reminds me of a time I found a serious issue with mailgun. Messaged them, no reply. Had to spam their twitter to get a response. Basically you could have stolen tons of API keys fr…

Thankfully I don't know of any of these types first hand, but I totally believe you. I tried it the "companion" and it was a fantastic work of technology but the idea that there is…

This is actually not a bad idea. I think the only problem would be we truly don't know if that is what a figure would think. I can't imagine how many people would invoke the "Georg…

Yea. I don't even know what to do tbh. I'm right between GenZ and Millennial. There is something crazy going on with GenZ IMO. It is like pulling teeth to go out and do anything wi…

You'd be _very_ surprised. This isn't reddit so I probably don't have to write a disclaimer about generalizations... but just in case, I'm speaking in general terms. Just look at w…

Did he just lie and say he wasn't working at those places? Or did the question never come up? When I used to interview I always had to check a box that said I wasn't currently empl…

To add to this. It would be great to see which companies he interviewed at but didn't get the job. Would argue those companies have better BS-detectors conducting the interviews.

This is my question too. I'm no longer job searching but every interview involved multiple steps and "background checks." I'm seeing the dude's resume has him working half a dozen …

Wow... that's really tragic. It certainly makes sense though. I was shocked at how many people thought there was something suspicious or that police were lying. When a couple that …

Yea, that absolutely checks out. Being able to apply your work to something you enjoy is a discipline and motivation multiplier.

That's subjective. I'll make it objective. --- Everyone, please encourage NYU to expel Barron Trump as the Trump family is terrible. Here is where he goes to school. https://apnews…
