Is the implication then that if I sell lemonade out on the street and you give me cash for one that my funds should be seized because I don't know the provenance of the cash?

I'm imagining some state or APT engineers who, having reversed the mess, are then having very fraught discussions about what it could mean and getting the boss to bring in a specialist to figure out what they're missing.

If such a hypothetical bot really can pass as human what would you suggest the defense be? People are quite capable of pushing agendas themselves.

Oh for sure, she's got a couple nickels to rub together. Was more curious than trying to snark.

I am a manager and am afraid of a future like this. To echo your point I caution everyone to be careful what kind of data you wish for because you just might get it. Over a long enough timeline the probability goes to 1 that it will be misused by management.

I don't know how to calculate the value of being the queen, but searching for richest person in UK does not out her at the top.

I think the distinction is a bit more blurry than you're implying here. Political (maybe too limiting) ideology is a linear model fit over the vast complexity of life that provides a framework for its adherents to make simple choices in the face of complex problems.

Traditionally conceived "spiritual" religions seem very similar to me.

I took that turn of phrase to mean something akin to the detachment she felt/feels to life. The whole article read to me like an ode to post post modern drifting in and out of superficial encounters. I ended up reading the whole thing while waiting to see if there was going to be a prod issue tonight. I'm definitely not the New Yorker's target audience.

Wesnoth was so much fun back in the day! Going to check this out. Thanks to the devs for keeping this alive.

The point of a paragraph is to thread together sentences into meaning beyond that contained in them individually.

Tangentially Reddit seems determined to make me stop visiting it. When they finally kill old. I won't anymore. The new reddit mobile web experience is incoherent, I get that they're pushing the app but no thanks.

Suppose she got slammed on the road by a malicious driver intentionally and died along with the baby. If the malicious driver could be charged with two homicides under TX law (I don't know) then it seems reasonable to conclude two people occupied the vehicle through the lens of Texas law.

Just when I was starting to get some work done. Thank you!

Totally agree, kids aren't stupid. They also aren't generally able to sense and avoid insidious intent from adults adept at playing socially reprehensible games. I try not to treat my kids like idiots but that doesn't mean letting wolves in the door either. Not that that can be perfectly prevented.

Used to happen to me too!

That's a fair assessment of my attention

Cyberpunk is now, just sans the 80s fashion inspirations :)

3200 isn't even a month's rent for us..

Successfully being a PM and successfully managing a product are often at odds with each other. I've seen few do it well. Not really picking on PMs either, as both an SDE and now an EM I deal with similar tensions. Gotta love corpo life.

I didn't see this quote in the article--what are you referring to?

I don't think that's new. Rather the veneer is basically dissolved at this point. The police are not your friends.

There are differences of course, but culturally there is One Amazon. Both take a meat grinding approach, even for software engineers. Source: worked at AWS.

Salary is just one component of total comp, and in my (tech) experience not generally the biggest one.

Divide that by 10--that's Andy's 10 year RSU grant, not his annual comp.

Same here.

They collect fees from merchants.

Interesting thank you!

Why can't you download this in the UK? My question is sincere, I'm surprised to read that.

An 18yo might be a legal adult in the US but I certainly was no adult at 18. I strongly suspect I'm not alone in that.

Pat Tillman I think his name was.
