Give me a break.

Maybe some use as dog whistle but I am not. The color or creed of the people who were around during periods of progress is irrelevant to me. I care about the progress.

And Rome had more people of color in positions of power and influence than we can even dream of today. However they did have slaves. Lots of white, Germanic slaves. Google it and chew on that while you think about your accusations of racism.

Even GDPR fines are rarely paid in full. We hear about the levied fine since that’s public, but not the actual payment deal.

This is an adorable show of optimism.

That’s a good point. There is at least as much to learn from Antarctica as from Mars. Maybe less maybe more, but certainly more relevant since it’s on Earth. Plus easier to get to than Mars. Yet we can’t scrounge up enough to keep a larger presence there.

Sometimes I can’t shake the feeling that we are living in another dark age. We need a real renaissance to shake it.

This investment is taking longer than the myopic financial outlooks that traded companies possess. But the idea of autonomous cars is not flawed.

Still could be. Something smells off with this whole thing.

Yeah yeah, we love you too.

Yes, I think that’s the implied point. Some things. Not everything.

Article doesn’t explicitly state this but it is very likely this would need to be trained extensively on each individual brain. So there would almost certainly be an explicit opt in.

Edit: didn’t watch the video. No thanks YouTube.

Okay so you fired someone, then decided later to bring them back. This means whatever guideline you use to fire people is floppy or petulant, you caved to public backlash, or the firing guidelines are clear but the information you took grave actions upon was bad (was unreliable and/or unverified).

Anyway, none of those things are good markers of leadership.

Edit: Forgot another reason for recanting a firing: your boss told you that you don’t have the authority. Nothing takes away your leadership teeth like that…
