Yeah why are there any comments taking this seriously? Not that it couldn't be true, but the linked site talks about prayer being the reason the satellites are going down, and how non human entities are attacking us.
Good news. They mention that the law doesn't apply to managers, I wonder how they define that? As an example, I have "director" in my title, but don't have any direct reports, and have kind of dotted line people who have different official supervisors.
The sustainability of a monarchy is the problem. Even if you have a great king, they're smart, they're competent, they care about the good of the people, what about their successor? And what's more, every person is fallible, susceptible to blind spots or maladjusted thinking. With a monarch there's not a true means to address that sort of problem. Democracy has all sorts of problems, it's true. But as the quote goes, it's the worst form of government after all other forms of government.
Why aren't those teen fucks with the multicolored scooters carved into the mountain?
I'm a fan of the concept. Two notes:
While the name has noble intentions, it's a horrible choice in terms of conveying "this is a respectable institution and you should hire this person." Obtaining the knowledge should be enough, but we all know part of why we choose the educational institutions we do is to help get a job, and some schools are viewed more favorably than others. "University of the People" sounds hippy dippy and fake.
Second, if you like this model you might consider looking at Western Governor's University. It's regionally accredited (ie. the kind you want), online, and the name seems like it would be more appealing at first glance to employers.
Lol I too have read those "what's a thing the public doesn't know about your job" reddit threads
I have seen someone type "tell me how make a million dollar business" into chatgpt. Of course that's not going to work. But LLMs have immediate obvious value that crypto does not, and I think making the comparison reveals a lack of experience with those useful applications. I'm using chatgpt nearly every day as a tool to help with coding. It's not a replacement for a person, but it is like giving a person a forklift.
I do think it's different this time, but
I think there's some legitimate concern about essentially giving prisoners a broadcast. You're right that they ought to have some minimum amount of guaranteed communication, but more in the sense that they can call their family or friends without having to pay fees.
Also would love to see solitary confinement outlawed.
Seems like you might want to go broader than talking about a specific method or feature of technology. Maybe something like "right to private communication"?
It's not a personal problem, it's a systemic one. Americans are disenfranchised by little percentages that add up here and there until broadly popular positions can't get made into law. The Senate is inherently gerrymandered. Congress is gerrymandered depending on each state legislature. We've got the electoral college for president and supreme court justices are selected for life just depending on when the last one died. And everything driven by who can raise the most campaign funds.
I'm interested in actual approaches. Not saying I want to perpetuate capitalism, but asking how you would tackle the problem, and could be from the viewpoint of any of those entities.
