What the heck is an AI governance role that would remotely require these kinds of ratios? PCI compliance is critical in payments and no one would suggest you need "PCI governance" …

This is one sentence. Is this notable because AWS is commenting this?

Pretty sure the right generally believes the left has been doing the same. Previously, it was a more libertarian and constitutional argument: progressive causes since the new deal …

A) this court has a number of originalists, more likely to reject grabs for power than more progressive judges. There's worse things than a court that tries to adhere to the consti…

I'm confused where all of this censorship is originating from. What wave of efforts is culminating? I can't really explain this from any movement I can see.

Exactly as described in "how to win friends and influence people". Break their stuff and extort money.

In this market, neither the producer nor the consumer are responding to price signals and often neither knows what anything costs. The Payer (literal healthcare industry terminolog…

If you’re just a gladhander for an algorithm, what are you really needed for?

I completely agree. It's worth remembering the UN fought in the Korean war and wasn't was always a place for authoritarian regimes to pass useless resolutions and make noise. The f…

While bots are possible, another confounding factor is that the most prolific social media posters are strongly correlated with psychiatric disorders. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/…

(US centric assumption) It might be easier to change today than it was in 1886. Back then, trains were really the only means of travel between cities. Today, there are less passeng…

These socialist countries that are so happy because of the money they pour into healthcare and education, do so at the expense of their future growth and their own self defense. Th…

We can agree to disagree without name-calling, but the impact of compounding growth vs intentional stagnation is going to continue to widen the gap that's already opened up over a …

Your model works when every player provides something of value. What does Europe's self indulgent attitude bring to the international table?

It is and it's a best practice. I've never heard anyone complain about this. Most security scanning software will ding any site that doesn't use HSTS

If demand for ownership is such that prices make |cost paying mortgage| + |cost maintenance, insurance, etc| It works the other way as well to dampen demand for investment properti…

It appears to be true. https://github.com/apache/openoffice/activity

"Some merchants may be seeing a higher-than-usual decline due to Gateway rejections Fraud." Is this really "down"?

Actually, free markets do lead to better products. But they cost more than the worse products. Look at coffee. The gradual shift from Arabica to more Robusta beans over a generatio…

No, this is pretty typical (I'm American). The only time people who are more than a few years into their career are asked about degrees (and grades) in an interview is at very bure…

Mild is subjective. Truth isn't determined by a majority. Tyranny is on a dimmer switch.

As a counterpoint to most of the comments in this thread, maybe cereal (even with all the sugar) isn't as unhealthy as people think. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC69…

Same with my cat. The instincts seem deeply rooted.

As an American who has attempted to learn other languages, it's amazing to me the concept that spelling should reflect pronunciation. As advice for those folks learning English, do…
