If you find these corruption allegations hard to believe, I lived on the South Side of Chicago in the late 90s, and cops there expected to eat for free wherever they went and blew through stop signs and red lights like they weren't even there. (I have never seen this kind of police behavior anywhere else I've lived, which includes downtown Seattle.)

Oh, and I had a detective tell me once (after they'd found the guy who stole my laptop) not to worry because they had ways of making people talk. Shortly afterward I found out that detectives in that precinct had been sticking unloaded shotgun muzzles into suspects' mouths and pulling the trigger. I declined to press charges after I learned that.
+1 - this is a childish move and bad business imo.

That’s a good way to get your business license paperwork lost.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes here. If you’re a small business owner you are trying to get through your day and your day gets a lot longer if you piss off casually corrupt city officials who can shut your business down by slow walking needed paperwork. This is a group that happily added 200% to your operating costs via ransoming your business license for a thinly disguised bribe. You think they won’t retaliate if you put them on the spot publicly?

And yet, the solar panels I installed on my Seattle house a decade ago generated enough power to pay for themselves in six years. Solar works great here. Overcast skies are not a problem: solar panels don't care which direction the photons come from, and they work more efficiently at cooler temperatures.

I can upvote (or downvote) for content that I agree/disagree with as well as how much the comment does/doesn't contribute to the debate, as you suggest. Sometimes those are finely enough balanced for me not to do either!

I tend to reserve downvotes for things that are inflammatory or shallow or dishonest or similar.

Re: playercount comparison - Cyberpunk wasn't split between Steam + XBox, and also wasn't 'free' on XBox to lure players there vs Steam.

https://steamcharts.com/app/1091500 Looks like you inflated the # by ~50% regardless; as CP soon dipped under 10k players.

Re: user review score - user reviews on Metacritic/etc are honestly almost meaningless now for any game that does anything to annoy anyone. Starfield pissed off the legion of sony loyalists and has been getting review bombed continuously since well before launch. Dog piles gain traction.

I'm not saying Starfield is the perfect game or has no problems, just that 'worst launch than cyberpunk' is simply insane and revisionist.

It's not like generative AI is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Despite the hype, it's not even clear what it's best application may be. Taken with the downsides, including the enormous power demands and copyright questions, it's important that the law and regulations keep up and address the societal effects and, where necessary, provide for relief to the harmed.
I can see this point of view for a developer/builder, maybe… but that often comes in the form of a warranty or builder guarantees. You talk about increased liquidity as if homes are a commodity, traded quickly and often. This isn’t the case. I can’t even imagine how this scenario you’ve imagined plays out.

The real estate agent should not be required to guarantee that their clients home will be “liked” for X months or years. This makes no sense.
I'm not sure everyone who sees the graphic image might fully understand what's going on. They might just think there's something wrong with sqword, not the site that's stealing it, and repelling potential players as a result.

Indeed, an eye opening book. For those interested, the book[1] tells the story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public and deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. These groups denied the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. The book was made into a movie, Merchants of Doubt[2], released in 2014.

I have not, but it's been on my audiobook backlog for a bit. Hoping to get to it soon.

To be honest, I've felt this way about many books - as though I'd read them at a point in life when their message exactly resonated with me.

Sometimes it's happens that a book I read a long time ago didn't have much impact, but a reread at a later date has me feeling the same way as you.

There are some books I keep rereading, just to experience that feeling again, although it's not quite the same. I suppose our exact life situation at the moment of reading decides the life-changing impact of a book.

Being a big Tolstoy fan, I'm expecting the book to be life-changing anyway.
Yes.

Middle management is basically managers managing managers. A few levels of those could be eliminated, causing more stress for the survivors, but the workers aren't actually affected so it's a direct cost savings on the back of the surviving managers.

> Of course, it would be preposterous for workers to be elevating the needs of management over their own needs. After all, no one is looking out for them but them.

In Europe it is often the case that companies and unions have a genuinely collaborative relationship where the unions will take the company's needs into consideration, and the company will take the worker's needs into consideration. It doesn't always work out, and each party has their own priorities of course. But it is often not nearly so adversarial as it is in the US. That it is like this is to a large extent a cultural peculiarity of the US rather than an immutable truth.

IF people (incl. those representing companies) were economically rational beings out to maximise their own short-term gain then that would be what would happen. But real people are not, and are often able to see that it creates a poorer, lower-trust society overall if they try to push for their immediate material needs too strongly.

This is of course all backed up by the legal and political systems (which will step in if either side oversteps the mark too far), and a long history in which these norms were established.
Maybe. But on the other hand, the UK loves to play Big Brother too. See for example the omnipresent CCTV cameras over there.

It’s a little overwhelming given the time constraints.

Yes we disclose. We have to. Incentive is on the candidate to be honest.
> It's good for society, the individual, and the employer when people have room to grow/work harder/contribute more and be rewarded for it.

Rewards are distributed based off of seniority. If you do more than what’s “expected”, there’s no guarantee it will lead to promotion. It’s more likely that you’ll just be given more work

I agree with you when you say that hard work is good for people, but doing this for your employer (as opposed to for FOSS or personal learning) will just screw you over in the long run

If Manson can be attacked and canceled any man can be.

And, for the record, this embodies what most people meant when they said, "Defund the police." Not, "Get rid of the institution of law enforcement." Instead, "Lower funding so that the remainder is forced to be put towards necessary tasks which the police are actually effective at," reducing their ability to engage in the kind of paid apathy or harassment the GGP describes, and freeing up funding for preventative social programs. If you believed it was the former, well, you are not immune to propaganda. And no one in their right mind, even on the ACAB side, wants police to go away entirely.

Standard ebooks version:

Their blurb:

> Leo Tolstoy wrote this short meditation on sadness and the meaning of life when he was middle aged. He had already completed his masterworks, Anna Karenina and War and Peace, reared fourteen children, and gained fame and acclaim in Russia as a man of letters. But despite having attained that success, he still found himself unhappy and always returning to the disturbing idea that all achievement is meaningless.

> A Confession is his attempt to put these thoughts in words as he teetered on the brink of suicide. It forms the first in a four-volume series that included A Criticism of Dogmatic Theology, The Gospel in Brief, and What I Believe (also known as My Religion or My Faith).

A friendly officer drove 10 minutes to pull out a slim jim and unlock my car for me. I thanked him. Normal stuff.

A lady's car broke down in an intersection. A police car put their lights on to keep us safe while 3 or 4 random people pushed the car to safety.

I often call dispatch to report accidents, debris on the road, or anything else that would warrant police help.

I have friends who have been tied up in the legal system with drugs and similar crimes around here. When they sober up, they admit that the cops have a hard job and treated them respectfully.

They protect. They serve.. it's honestly very simple. Not all police are lazy/corrupt/ego-driven maniacs. Not around here anyway.
The US has extremely low rates of corruption, because everything that would normally be considered corruption is legalized.

So glyphosate is not harmful without this cocktail? I don't understand the implication here. It sounds like _Roundup_ is the issue, not glyphosate.

Cookies have links to chocolate chips. It doesn't mean cookies cause chocolate chips.

You’re certainly an uncaring person. You already struggle to care for your own child, and now you take that bitterness out on everyone else. Why should other parents not be provided free public school, regulated by the government, where they can send their children during the day while they work to support their family? How heartless to deny others that.

Public education is free for everyone. We all pay for it because it is in our best interest collectively. What makes you think you deserve access to other public programs and assistance, given that you’re not willing to extend others the same courtesy?

Virology research is one of those things no one ever thought about, but the fact that a single careless lab was able to release a virus that killed tens of millions around the world should be a wake up call that the researchers were outpacing the regulations. The entire industry around the world has to be heavily regulated at this point to prevent this from happening again.

No, there's no reason that middle management is, in general, the most vulnerable to layoffs.

If a company decides to shutter a product or division, everyone might get laid off, from ground workers to middle management and even directors. If a company performs overall layoffs, it's going to lay off primarily from wherever they've overhired. One company might have overhired developers, another company might have overhired middle management, while a third company might have overhired sales.

Companies are generally trying to be pretty rational in only hiring positions that are required for the company to run/grow. Obviously they get this wrong all the time, but I'm not aware of any evidence they get this wrong more often about middle management.

I know there's a whole trope about middle management being useless, how you could cut it entirely and the company would still run just fine, but nothing could be further from the truth. A VP can't have 120 direct reports. There's no way for them to get the information they need to make good decisions, nor is there any way for their direct reports to get the information they need to make good decisions. It just doesn't scale.
