  • The biggest problem with Frontiers for me is that there are some handy survey articles that are cited like 500 times. It seems that Interdisciplinary surveys are hard to publish in a traditional journal, and as a result 500 articles cited this handy overview article for readers who would need an overview.

    The article I checked was in a reasonable quality, and it's a shame I can't cite it just because it's in Frontiers.

  • I'm from Japan. They don't even have judges as corrupt as SCOTUS and still don't allow same sex marriage because the ruling party is conservative. Well, the court ruled it's unconstitutional, but we learned that a law in this country can stay unconstitutional if the government ignores the situation. And apparently 90% of the people (at least on the internet) support that because they are conservative.

    Makes me realize how broken my country is. It doesn't even count as corruption because it's lawful. Fucking hell...

  • I noticed. What I wanted to say was it can become a battle between the correct belief and the wrong belief. Especially if the law itself is interpreted wrongly and scientific evidence is difficult to acquire (which sometimes is).

  • Also, they often don't read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn't read the memo (and didn't even read my CV), assumed I can't do engineering because I was an academic at the time.

  • an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.

    Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that's the point.

    Even if you don't complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.

    Support stupid war, end up vacationing in North Korea.

    Scores of Russians have flown to North Korea for a private tour — the first foreign tour group to visit the reclusive state since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Inflation, partisanship and the pandemic have made them glummer than the numbers suggest they should feel

    I think the author just looked up statistics to reach a conclusion convenient to them.

    Just ask the actual people. (Why didn't they do interviews?) There are so many details lost in their cherrypicked numbers. Prices, wages, housings, they are very bad according to what I read online, contrary to what the author argues citing average growths. Maybe they have no grasp of reality anymore?

    Evangelicals on Trump: "God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump."

    The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump's standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

    I used to like The Economist, but this is Nazis propaganda right on their page.

    Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians. Israel does want to destroy Hamas, a militant group, and is prepared to kill many civilians in doing so. While some Israeli extremists might want to eradicate the Palestinians, that is not a government policy.

    This is not okay. This is Nazi logic. Nazi, fascist logic, from The Economist.

    Even Nazi Germany did not make killing the official "intention" or government policy in my understanding. At least not always. It was announced as a safety guarantee, for example.

    Website Not Working: Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine

    So, I wanted to donate my money to Ukraine through this official government link. However, it doesn't accept my money. I've tried two credit cards and they are both refused. The time it takes to show refusal is very quick, indicating that the website rejects my cards before accessing the credit card company.

    Is this a known bug? Or maybe they don't take donation from my country?

    Three U.S. lawmakers are calling for greater scrutiny of worker safety at Elon Musk's SpaceX following a Reuters investigation that documented hundreds of injuries at the rocket company's U.S. manufacturing and launch sites.

    The Nov. 10 Reuters report detailed at least 600 previously unreported workplace injuries since 2014 at SpaceX including crushed limbs, amputations, head injuries and one death.
