- ngngngngIs there a list somewhere of all companies that still have middle management? Those are the companies to short.
- I find your insistence that they can't be offended by a word with an objectively offensive historical origin fascinating. Do you deny that sometimes opinions on words and language can change over time?
- "Mormon" was originally a derogatory term that was coined by those that legalized killing Mormons on sight until 1980. So some are understandably uncomfortable with its continued usage.
- Just to be clear, fundamentalist Mormon means he had multiple wives, and most likely lived on a secluded compound or in one of the surrounding areas of one of these compounds. Your likelihood of interacting with such a person is near zero.
- I prefer American screening. I was recently in Frankfurt and was very pleased to find they had a line for families with children, but then every single screen was equivalent to the screen you receive when you leave a water bottle in your luggage in the USA. Everyone was required to have a full on 2 minute conversation with the security agent, and children were screaming as they received intensive pat downs.
If you're going to have security theater, at least try and make it fast.
- It's ok, since we're definitely getting all this money back we're spending to fund foreign wars. Right?
Right?
- Speaking as someone that's owned Chevy's and Tesla's recently, if you're concerned about Tesla's quality, I would steer clear of Chevy.
- Don't get caught up in the hype. The technology is becoming commoditized, and only startups with unique advantages will survive. Look for startups with proprietary data, special algorithms, or deep domain expertise. Avoid ones that are just gluing together APIs or building generic applications. And don't chase the hype train. Invest in startups with a real chance of success.
- Big steel truck look fun
- Parent claimed the LDS church embezzled billions. There's zero evidence of this. It's literally a conspiracy theory.
I'm sorry you feel my ethnicity is a cult, I didn't choose it, but I am proud of it.
- This complaint was resolved. They received a small fine for organizing the funds incorrectly. But the money was legally donated and it's not illegal to invest money donated to a charitable organization.
Also, you've posted this article twice in the past week. Hacker News is probably not the best place for your Anti-Mormon crusade.
- I guess I've never looked into everything that can constitute sexual harrassment.
If person A draws a naked picture and shares it with person B, and it looks like person C, then person C has been sexually harassed?
- Anyone else think maybe Apple Silicon in the Macs is hurting their sales? I used to feel the need to upgrade my Macbook every 2 years or so, since the battery life would have dropped significantly and the fans were giving me a constant jet engine drone in the background of my work. But my M1 Macbook Pro still lasts all day, I've never heard the fans, and the only task I've given it that it struggled with was local AI image generation. It flies through everything else imaginable. So why would I buy another one?
- So if a teenager is skilled enough at drawing on their iPad to make something look photorealistic, and they draw a naked picture of a classmate and share it, should that be illegal too?
I'm not trying to say it's ok, but just like the person you replied to, I truly find these things comparable.
- That's exactly where my brain went. Now I need a Huberman Labs podcast telling me how I can incorporate this with my supplements and cold showers to achieve my maximum potential.
- This is a big nothingburger. If you only look at the enrollment at LDS church owned universities, then that fund would be a much smaller "endowment" than other comparable private universities have. Not to mention that the church heavily subsidizes tuition, tuition at LDS schools is unbelievably cheap. But also, the LDS church does way more than just run schools.
- If funding is truly the underlying problem, why does Utah have some of the best K-12 outcomes in the country while being dead last in per pupil spending?
- > On the other hand, a lot of what I do doesn't require 12 years of training
What, besides surgery, really requires 12 years of training? I've found I have a greater success rate with self diagnosis and treatment than I have with seeing my physician, and I've found a very good internist. An hour spent with ChatGPT and Google and I always find a couple options that fit what I'm experiencing as well as detailed descriptions on how to narrow it down. And since I'm the one experiencing the symptoms, there's no chance of a communications breakdown between me and the doctor who is trying to diagnose me.
