> Try pushing anything scientific against the climate change Mafia or against evolution theory and see how hard it crashes

The climate change... Mafia? You make it sound like the group is so powerful. If it were, I think we'd see more change around here.

Instead of a Mafia are you sure it's not just inertia? There is a lot of data and evidence for both climate change and evolution. Any theories going a different direction would need to show some exceptionally good evidence to the contrary if you wanted it to be taken seriously. That seems perfectly normal to me. If you published a paper stating that eclipses were harbingers of doom, I would want to see some exceptionally clear evidence simply because it refutes so much established science. It's not impossible; such change has happened before, but again, only with solid evidence.

That aside, are you speaking from personal experience here? Or are you just projecting? If you actually have a paper you tried publishing I'd like to read it.

One has to separate the science from journalistic malfeasance. The news is heavily dependent on attracting eyeballs, and fearmongering does that well.

Whelp, it was good while it lasted. Proton subscription is cancelled. Glad I never migrated to their password store.

It didn't help that azure (especially in the beginning) was a cobbled-together mess of ancient Microsoft tech stacks that were never intended to talk to each other.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see much wrong with any of the options above. Most of my assets aren't liquid either, yet I'm still taxed at a much much higher rate (when compared to total assets) than the top. I have to make decisions like "how much will I need good health care coverage next year?", which I shouldn't have to say isn't "ideal" either.

All one can do is try and stack the odds. I prefer to say that rather than "making your own luck".

You can equip rings of +1 to dice rolls but most of us don't get weighted dice.

Playing the odds is fine in poker if your pile of chips is big enough to ride out the bad dice rolls, but this doesn't always work in life. There are too many decisions where you're forced to go all in.

I do still largely agree with you, that our decisions influence our future options. But I feel many people who just say "we make our own luck" fail to realize just how much luck played a role in their lives. Survivorship bias and all that.

Given what just happened with PHP a few days so, it's not surprising to me that they're holding their cards close to their chest. People will already be doing their damnedest to reverse engineer the exploit with this meager info.

From the sounds of what info they felt was safe to provide, this wouldn't have impacted you anyway.

Introspection isn't a requirement to write an autobiography, and certainly not a biography. Just because someone can't stop talking about themselves and their accomplishments doesn't necessarily mean they analyze their inner thoughts and feelings for deeper meaning.

> How do they think we know the thoughts of these so called great men?

Many have biographies and autobiographies. Is not hard to spot.

You've obviously never worked in government before. The technology is likely not the issue; the bureaucracy is.

Hell it doesn't even have IBIS. I suppose they have to cut corners somewhere for the size constraint.

It's only funny when clowns do it, obviously.

This shouldn't surprise anyone as soon as they remember the purpose of the parent site.

Aw, they took the video down. I was curious to see how egregious the AI usage was.
