I really dislike how you continue to dismiss or question what happened to the OP while continuing to find excuses for this type of behaviour.

Agree with this.

My children are so close to the ground they can observe things I just walk by. They are constantly pointing out to me things they find beautiful in their tiny details. Admittedly I've trained them to be highly observant but they've outdone me in a short time.

Think it depends on the age of the children, right? Do you parents have very young children? Things get better once they are 5-6

This reminds me of the concept of "karuna" in Bhuddism.

To me what the author is discussing is the difference between the direction translation of the word, often taken as "compassion" vs. the intention to seek truth and deeply act upon it. What Jay Garfield (Smith College) referred to as "sloppy sympathy" is what I think the author here is referring to as moral incompetence.

> changing whitelist / blacklist or master / slave isn't really helping to the cause.

These terms amongst hundreds of others build up a mental association between blackness and wrongness.

The word "black", just by itself - look a dictionary definition. In addition to the raw color is used to connote a sad event, anger, or just evil ("it was a black day", "full of anger or hatred", "very evil or wicked").

On the flipside white is used to connote purity and goodness. In the context of America we're talking about a country which favored bleached white foods to anything else for the same reason.

I just don't get how people can't see the harm that is accrued from not the single example but the hundreds collectively.

Also, for the record, I think changing the name of the project verges on absurd.

This website is so self-obsessed it can't just tell you what the hell the product is.

They are referring to NY style pizza. Standard serving is 2 slices per person.

As a former EMT and someone who built their own software to create run reports, I'm a bit skeptical as to that being the only reason.

Paper can be edited, even after the point at which you given a carbon copy to a hospital, if you're friendly enough. This probably doesn't happen often or at all but there is a psychological safety there.

People make small mistakes all the time on the ambulance in the rush to get them to the ER. We live in an extremely litigious society.

A great flat white, an Australian invention I understand, is shockingly good compared to a standard cappuccino. When done properly you wouldn't even question the need for sweetener because the milk becomes so decadent.

Why... they just want to farm for ideas, understand your execution, use that knowledge to launch a competitor they have a stake in, drive out all the alpha from the business in so doing, and make an exit leaving someone else to hold the bag.

I work at WTC and this is exactly how I feel about the area under the Oculus connecting the Brookfield Mall. It's like a scene out of Gattaca, a massive dizzyling underground mall/complex with no natural light filled with luxury shops that no one appears to actually shop at. Everyone walks through in a daze, seemingly impressed by the magnitude of the cavern but at the same I can't help to think they feel as equally empty and drained by it as me.

Developments like Hudson Yards seem to be cargo culturing culture. If we build a public arts space, offices, restaurants, shops, and a playground then surely people will arrive, right?! Feels very weird.

Indentured Servitude?

Seems like a nice potential solution would be promoting dual majors in journalism and history so journalists could provide deep historical context for the events they report on

We had a nightmare story with Wag. My sister's dog was being walked by a new walker through Wag. The sitter brought our dog to a nearby fenced-in handball court and let him off leash, which he was not supposed to do. Her dog went to retrieve a ball that was stuck between the concrete padding and a chain link fence and in so doing severed several arteries in his paw.

The handball court looked, no joke, like a multiple murder scene. Dogs have 7 arteries iirc through their paws and so there was blood - everywhere.

I know this because I happened to have left work early and was eating dinner with my family nearby when my sister, away at work, gave me a frantic phone call that the walker called, freaking out, that her dog hurt himself and 911 refused to pick him up.

I ran to my car as far as I could, drove down to this park, wrapped up his paw, carried him into the car, and drove, breaking every light to the animal hospital. Along the way NYPD pulled me over and upon finding out what was going on, proceeded to escort us to the hospital, clearing the way (shout out to the 88th).

If I wasn't home, I'm not sure her dog would have lived. He needed several days in the hospital, blood transfusions and minor surgery. The walker could not have handled it poorer, he was hyperventiliating, completely freaking out, and couldn't get control of himself. I was nice to him, gave him water, calmed him down, but jeez he was a mess. No training, no proper incident response.

Don't use Wag.

I miss a lot of it. You could build a vibrant community without bizops, marketing, partnerships, and a whole host of other people because you could generate meaningful traffic from search engines.
