What if you got a bonus for taking an external training? Still no? This seems like a weirdly hard line to draw fo a bonus

You should read Exhalation by Ted Chaing if you haven’t already. It’s a quick read

Well if you live in a democracy you should. It’s not about your data alone, its everyone else’s. It’s social media company XYZ determining how each individual is going to vote, then, on election day sending all people on one side get out and vote messages, and sending people on the other side a tsunami of unrelated bs to make sure they don’t know about the election. Or push a bunch of fakenews to make them feel both sides are the same and why even vote?

Do this in a couple key areas and you only need to hit a few tens of thousands of people to turn a presidential race.

We know it can be done because it already has been. If you live in a democracy you should care a good deal about privacy, even if you somehow have nothing to hide

Not meaningless. Its a great indicator of wealth inequality

Yeah the further north you get the less this works on both sides of the sleep unfortunately

There was a reddit thread years ago about ‘you’ve just finished life beta, what advice do you have for the devs?’

My favourite comment was ‘llamas spit, like, a lot. I think it’s a bug’

Lol

Yeah but the power going out is what is supposed to happen. Its a good thing. It means the fault was cleared and the area made safe. The issue with one of these events is were not currently protecting against it in a lot of places. So real bad things have the potential of happening WITHOUT the power going out. No breakers tripping (or not tripping fast enough) means more equipment damage. It currently takes over a year to build a HV transformer, and that’s with power. What happens when 500 all explode at the same time (cause the power didn’t go out fast enough) and we need to replace them all at once? Without power?

That essential list seems a bit weird to me. Are people really eating that much bacon? And no veg?

Wait. The singular of cattle is cattle? I think that’s the part that confuses me. Or is there no singular and you must use cow/bull? Either way I’ve never really thought about it and now I can’t not

Yeah I feel like he was one of the first ones doing those long form interviews which was great. He had Sean Carroll on and told him to start his own - which he then did, and it’s awesome. As soon as others started doing those kinds of podcasts (and Rogan got more insane) I stopped listening to joe. I don’t think that makes me the crazy one but wtf do I know

So there isn’t anything spooky going on there it’s just that viewing particles involves bouncing photons which of course impacts the particles you’re viewing. Measuring is changing. It’s like if in order to measure mass you had to burn a thing (kind of like how we measure calories), in that case measuring it changes it. Nothing spooky, just an inherently destructive measurement process
