Kinda seems like the real purpose of this saboteur service isn't so much to engineer the end of your relationship so you don't have to, or just to acquire legal proof so the law will let you two divorce, but rather to engineer the end in such a way that it financially advantages the employer of the saboteur.

She cheated on me, so I get to keep the house.

The headline and framing of the story hides the greed/selfishness/manipulation/exploitation.

(Of course, the bigger part of the actual event is the murder, but the story minimizes that too.)
If the facts are not accurate, that's relevant.

On average, are the facts accurate?

Also, 1.65 isn't double. I'm not quite sure what you're saying here.
It's a mistake to judge an organization on one, or even a handful of incidents. There should be a pattern of inaccuracy and bias before you "cancel" a news source.

This is one of the unsung problems of the modern world, the growing impossibility of keeping an accurate "reputation" in your brain. Virtually everyone and everything has been accused of being evil, in general, or specifically. It's no longer good enough to just "have good feelings" about a name, because I guarantee you've read something about every name that is negative. Mere accusation is trivial to make, and society has somehow gotten away from swift and harsh punishment against baseless accusation. Without that (very useful) habit, the heuristic of equating reputation with number of accusations is meaningless, and yet we all still do it.
Grew up in Saudi Arab. I had a lot of prejudices. It took a while but now I feel I don't have any left.

1. Blacks - Mostly due to American media, I had stereotyped all Blacks in my head. My second roommate was a black kid and he was a nerd. He hated how blacks were represented in media and especially hated how popular Black artists acted gangster. Getting to know him and his friends really shook off that negative stereotype I had.

2. Jews - Growing up in Saudi, it was easy to assume every Jew is evil. First semester in the US, my best friend was American Jew. Both of us had negative stereotype of each others but somehow we became friends through mutual friends. First, it was mostly political and philosophical debates but turned out we had similar believes. We just called our books/prophets/god by different names. Almost like we were fighting over variable names, not even logic of code.

3. Gays - Being Muslim, I thought being gay was a choice and even if it wasn't a choice, people should not do it. We used to argue that people want to have sex all the time but they got to have self-control. One of my friend in college was in the closet. When he came out, I was really sad. But that led me to discuss this more with friends and read more and realized that it is not a choice.

4. Women - I was hardcore believer in traditional roles. Not only that I really thought logic was not something women are good at. And I thought that women should not do anything too physical. A lot of female friends in college showed me how wrong I was. I met amazing female programmers, I had female friends who were stronger than me. I had female friends who were more well read than many of my male friends and were more fun to discuss deep topics with.

5. My own people - I felt once I got "Americanized" and stopped being racist/sexist, my own people felt very racist and I started to run away from them. I felt alone among my people, my people simply labeled me as I have forgotten my "roots" and my religion. It was very hard but slowly I learned that there many people like me in the Muslim world. I found internet forums for liberal and Athiest-leaning Muslims. And I learned a lot of Muslims act a lot more conservative than they really are especially when meeting someone for the first time.

agreed the sticker is a big part of it. Although I will say a super loud alarm going off will probably scare way some people and the police do eventually show up if you have monitoring. If I am away from the house for weeks on end that is nice to have.
I love Thomas Sowell.
Probably the same way as racing games- you can customize the view to make them line up with real life.
What specifically is he right about? Why do we require evidence when someone says he is wrong, but we do not require evidence for the numerous times in this thread where people say his book is “required reading”?

First, everyone here who likes Sowell can put forth specific, concrete examples where he is right, instead of making vague statements about how brilliant he is and then demanding evidence only when someone disagrees.

I trade my software skills to my personal trainer for free workout sessions, and it's so true. He isn't a dumb guy, he's young and runs his own socials, but makes me do every single text change and minor tweak to his Squarespace site. It's worth it for some free sessions but it would be a lot faster turnaround if he just learned to do it himself.

Not sure what GP's line of reasoning is, but I agree the point could be stated in a finer way, although I roughly agree with it.

> Partisan issues don't exist because articles like this are useless and ineffective. Partisan stances on this sort of thing is what makes people believe articles like this are useless. You have it backwards.

I don't know. Is it really backwards? I can see how it could be argued that partisan stances spread as a consequence of people having short attention spans and preferring short, context-less flamewars on twitter or other social media instead of reading long-form articles like this one and developing their own thoughts on issues.

Therefore it could be argued that, since people didn't pay (much) attention to articles like this to begin with, "they are useless and ineffective".

It might actually be a self-reinforcing situation, though...
It's a great book and one you should truly read before passing judgement on. It's helped me rationalize the various current political and social issues in the US a lot as I've read it.

Hey –

So the big difference between us and Retool is who the users are and what for.

Retool is primarily bought by dev/product teams for building admin UIs on the side of their production DBs.

Most Stacker users are non-technical people in business roles, building operational tools on their spreadsheets. We've also got a much bigger focus on auth, login and making the experience work for external users.

We've not got much familiarity with using AppSheet, but I know a bunch of our customers moved to us from there. I believe they're pretty much mobile/tablet apps only.

I get not wanting your data used for advertising and NSA.

But I don't understand why people intentionally give their photos to a system for processing, apparently happily let it be used for advertising and government surveillance, but then get upset when it's used for features. You're rely happier with everyone spying on you and pretending they aren't?
I recently listened to a series of podcasts where this was mentioned on Our Fake History, though my recollection was that he seemed to think the story's accuracy was questionable.
While I understand where you're coming from, Status is an interesting project even if you completely disregard their (IMO shoehorned utility-) token.

The main thing they have right now is an app acting as a wallet (ETH and Ethereum-based tokens) and IM app (Whisper protocol).

It's standard practice that what you request is answered in a whitepaper, which is also the case for Status: https://status.im/whitepaper.pdf

I was under the impression that the aerosol route was just common knowledge, but last week my state government (in Brazil) was doing deep cleaning in schools that have been closed for like 100 days. Yeah, good thing you're deep cleaning probably the last place on earth with no coronavirus! Now we'll only have problems if people want to breath in there... Such a stupid security theater.
My neighborhood gets a lot of break-ins, and I've tried to understand whether there is a causal link showing that electronic home security lowers break-in risk. The deterrent effect makes intuitive sense, but it's surprisingly hard to find empirical evidence for (even recognizing that it's not the kind of thing you can run an A/B test for). Additionally the internet is so awash in marketing (there's almost never an incentive to tell someone not to buy something) that it's very hard to ascertain the facts, and consumers' behavior in these matters tends to be guided more by perception than true solutions.

I had a similar experience when considering a water filter. In that situation, I was able to actually figure out a sensible path, thanks to a very few unbiased websites: test your water or read your locality's water reports to figure out what your drinking water contaminants actually are, then figure out specifically which filter (if any) will address those specific contaminants. Meanwhile, plenty of people will buy a mass-market water filter for "peace of mind" which may actually be neither necessary nor sufficient.
> objectives facts (what is) rather than ideology (what should be)

What is a "fact" or what is "true" is dependent on your values (aka your ideology). This is one of Nietzsche's main contributions to philosophy.

There are things like mathematical and logical truth and really basic physical assertions (e.g. the sky is blue) but those are qualitatively different than what we're talking about.

Both normative and positive statements about the world of human affairs are ultimately dependent on ideology and that might explain to you why you perceive conservatives as focusing on arguments over ideology. That is what people should be arguing over since from that all else flows. When people don't share substantially similar values even language itself becomes useless as a means of communication because the words themselves mean different things.
I think the oft-repeated adage "A players hire A players, B players hire C players" kind of falls into this.

"A" players want to hire people better then themselves who elevate both themselves and the team.

Not getting into how most "B" players see themselves as "A" players (dunning-kruger?), unconscious biases, or people who are just bad at playing interviewer (esp. people who have done it a certain way for their entire careers and are unwilling to even think that a different process might yield betterresults).
How does that work? Is it just a setting on industrial HVAC systems or did it require someone coming out and reconfiguring things? I’ve heard some schools are considering leaving the windows open year-round while running the heat/AC to get air turnover. Maybe because those HVAC systems are dated?
> My question: an oft repeated refrain, when Marx is touted as a reasonable alternative, is that any time anyone tried his ideas out, it was a total disaster (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Chavez).

I've not read Marx, nor am I a Marxist, but my understanding is that most of his work is a diagnosis of a problem, not a plan for a cure. IIRC, Marx's own "plan" was basically more capitalism harder until it collapses and something ill-defined without its problems emerges from the ashes. Those people you cite (assuming they even wanted to improve anything rather than amass personal power), can probably be thought as a doctor who could correctly diagnose cancer but proposed a incorrect theory for a cure (e.g. something based on the four humors). Their failure to cure cancer doesn't mean the patient didn't have cancer or that cancer can't be cured.
My first thought too! The lawsuit was what I remembered the most:

But that's exactly what's happening to your employer right now. Millions of emails are being reviewed, misconduct has been found, and yes, lies to the public have been told.

Yeah, that's a fuckup! But that's also not relevant for NYC.

Look, some Republican governors fucked up (and continue to fuck up) for political reasons. But some Democrat governors, including Andrew Cuomo (governor of NY) have also fucked up, and it's hard to blame that entirely on the Republicans.

As far as I can tell, only Washington state and California really did well at the beginning of the pandemic in the US. (And even then, California's not doing fantastic now)

> The Haymarket affair (also known as the Haymarket massacre, Haymarket riot, or Haymarket Square riot) was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago. It began as a peaceful rally in support of workers striking for an eight-hour work day, the day after police killed one and injured several workers. An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at the police as they acted to disperse the meeting, and the bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; dozens of others were wounded.

> To say things that white conservatives believe but suffer ridicule for saying.

This is so ridiculously racist and uninformed I don't know where to begin.

First, it assumes Sowell hasn't made any unique contributions to economics or politics. This is completely false but you presume it because... he's black? If he were white would you take him more seriously?

Second, you presume the only reason he is allowed to speak is to justify the racism of others. Which reduces Sowell to a useful idiot or a token. It completely strips him of his accomplishments. Imagine saying that a former member of government, a PhD, award winning economist, author of more than a dozen best selling books, and fellow at more than a dozen prestigious institutions is only listened to because he's black.
Yeah there is. Unfortunately checks and balance don’t tend to work very well when the people operating them, are the same as the people committing the fraud.

Eventually it was an external audit that caught them out.

Also the 1.9 billion didn’t really disappear, it never existed in the first place, so there wasn’t really anything to misplace.
> The valuable talent is better than they seem on their resume.

Don't really think so. Don't confuse "plain" with "uninteresting".

I remember coming across my dad's resume at some point. It was plain as heck, but included such choice sentences as "Experience leading a national car manufacturer" (paraphrased). Ahh. Tell. Me. More.

> Do you not worry about identifying that?

Not particularly, no. First, I don't really believe that this is true, second, I worry a lot more about false negatives than I do about false positives. Third, it's really not that hard.

> Sure, if you speak to someone you can tell pretty quickly, but on a resume?

That's why you have the combination: the resume tells me if the person is interesting, the interview tells me if that was actually true.

> I can think of a lot, but not much that you could convey in that format.

Why not? Unless you're mixing up the two (again). I also see that I couldn't convince someone that I am interesting on the resume (in a "beyond doubt" fashion). But that's not the resume. That's the interview. The interview is about triggering interest.

I think you're making this harder than it is.

Heck, just write: "After only two years on the job I was doing the work of people with 10 years seniority". There, done. Interesting? Definitely. True? Well, it better be, and I am going to see if that is true to my satisfaction.

After all, it could be that the people there just sucked.
Probably because the Cathedral of mainstream liberalism has been mortally wounded over the past decade. That has rapidly accelerated as of late and you're seeing the last dying breaths with the rise of populism on the left and right. Maddow used to have much higher ratings. AOC for example is not part of mainstream liberalism. She is at the vanguard of mainstream popular leftism.
My Experience is software engineers understand how users SHOULD use the software, which rarely matches how users DO use the software

Most of the time I experience a scenario of the engineer or support person saying "Show me what you are doing" only for the user to show some weird and non-logical (to the engineer) way of doing some task, and the engineer or support person replying "Well you should be doing it this other completely different way"
Meh that was years ago. Things ebb and flow, but what got me recently was their uptake of cancel culture.

How does it matter at all whether we're testing more than South Korea now? They did test far more at the onset of the crisis and have effectively contained the spread. We have dramatically more cases and a greater need for testing now than they do. Why would you get hung up on current testing rates when comparing the US to S. Korea? It is beside the point of who responded better. (Which they almost certainly did.)
> Healthcare has been authorized by the CDC to count suspected but unconfirmed (i.e., no test) as positives.

Do you have a source for that? I have heard or read no such thing, and can't find any claims of such. If anything, the claims I see are of the CDC undercounting infections.

> Add in the fact that healthcare facilities are compensated more for Covid-19 case

Again, do you have a source for that? Many states are covering all costs not borne by insurance, but I have not seen anything to indicate any COVID premiums being paid.

> and most of those facilities are for-profit

No, most of those facilities are non-profit.
