I went back to college to switch careers. We all had to take a class to learn what a folder is and how to save a file because a lot of today's youth doesn't know this.

Even before AI, I liked to have candidates do a code review on a pull request.

I guess that's even more important now that AI-generated code needs to be reviewed.

The short film Slaughterbots had a plausible scenario.

Drones that find a person, identify them on sight, and then kill them.

The em dash in the title really drives home the message.

I've been laid off twice, and both times we were very busy. There were deadlines we were told were absolutely crucial to meet and we were burning ourselves out trying to meet them. The product we were making never saw the light of day and to this day we don't even know why.

Are you saying the United States is a bastion of democracy? It's not even classified as a full democracy. The list of full democracies are Canada, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Mauritius.

United States is classified as a flawed democracy. Partly because sweeping decisions like this one are made by Supreme Court Justices who nobody voted for and who hold their position for life.

Or maybe that's what you meant and you were being sarcastic with the quotation marks around "bastion of democracy"?

Are you Swedish? Just wondering because I've never seen the gender neutral pronoun "hen" in English.

I hear that in Japanese schools, the kids do most of the cleaning, like sweeping, cleaning the boards, taking out trash, and cleaning windows. Janitors mostly do building maintenance or major jobs.

That must instill the sense that environments that are shared collectively are everyone's responsibility. When janitors clean up after us, it instills the sense that we can do what we want and it's the problem of some lowly person to deal with it.

Extremely rich people control every aspect of your life, how your city is planned, the state of the job market, the state of the economy, the laws, the state of the planet itself. One way that got a lot of attention lately is that extremely rich people prevent access to health care for everyone else.

I strongly disagree. A huge power gap is a huge problem.

A tiny group of people have an enormous amount of power over the rest of us. I still call that a big problem even if we have food and material goods.

>and the majority that do suffer addiction or mental illness.

This is also a problem, and a great example of something we could easily fix if power was not concentrated in the hands of a tiny few.

Lots of men seem to be in denial about what makes those 20% of men more attractive. It's mostly that they put in some amount of effort. Most women are only giving likes to men who write interesting things in their profiles and have put effort into grooming themselves and presenting themselves well in their photographs - ie men who seem likely to reciprocate when a woman invests effort into a relationship.

Since likes are virtually limitless, it allows the possibility to deceive. Most women on these apps have experienced matching with someone and then realizing he hasn't even read her profile. Many men don't even seem ashamed of deceiving women like this. Women don't want to be used or cheated on, and so many men are signaling that they will do so by starting off with lying to multiple women that they are interested. So of course women know that most likes are actually lies, and so women are very carefully looking for signs that a man isn't playing the field. The men who succeed are those who have profiles that manage to convince women that they will only express interest when it is honest and genuine.

I use Kagi and I only find myself switching to Google if I'm looking for local, up-to-the-minute information. Kagi maps is barely useful at all compared to Google Maps, at least at time of writing.
