Those people are often hired through a totally different pipeline with almost nobody moving up from L1 to L2. They are hiring very different kinds of people for those jobs. You don't need to know shit about shit to do L1, often even in very high end support scenarios. For example while I worked for IBM/Tivoli (just post acquisition) they implemented a level 1 support team because they had to handle the larger number of new customers being sold the product by IBM salesdroids instead of Tivoli salesdroids. They were spectacular fucking idiots. We saw shit show up in cases like "dragon drop" and "yowzij" (an attempt to spell "usage".)
They didn't, it's well documented, and you are a Russian troll.
"Yes it so terrible that a country's citizens decided what would be best for their people and country"
They were lied to, including a lot of propaganda from Russia. It is terrible that they are stupid enough to believe obvious lies.
Here's the thing about not redistributing income, it doesn't get multiplied by its velocity since that doesn't increase and your GDP takes a shit.
Pop quiz time Nazi, how much has the orange shit gibbon increased the national deficit?
Due diligence has never been the answer to fraud.
Due diligence has always been the answer to how to avoid fraud.
If the fraud is sufficiently good then no amount of due diligence given the limited up front information people can ascertain
Buyers can request literally any amount of up front information, and if insufficient information is not provided or cannot be verified, they can not make the purchase. You are in denial and delusional.
So your just being a total wanker and acting "elitist".

L1 tech support is usually too incompetent (for one reason and/or another) to solve problems, and is there mostly to filter out the non-problems caused by obvious customer error. The real action doesn't usually occur until you get up to the next level. The primary exception is where there is no next level and they're all useless.
Was it ever valid? Is avoidance an effective means of overcoming trauma?
Don't assume that people who are using trigger warnings to avoid content which sets them off are not doing anything to overcome their trauma.
If it's not reinforced, trauma tends to fade over time with our memories, if the trauma is not replayed. People can do this to themselves through their own unaided recall, but it can also happen due to triggers. Avoiding triggers doesn't guarantee that a trauma will become more distant, but it can be part of that process.
We evolve our buildings, our food, our way of life, why not our DNA to adapt to whatever problems, whether 'genetic disease' or 'genetic expression of environmental factors'?
Because there are too many factors at play for us to do that intelligently. The sensible thing to do is to reduce environmental pollutants, not to try to alter our DNA to tolerate them when we don't know what kind of second-order effects that will cause.
1) This slashvertisement links to a paywalled article.
2) Whether "generative AI has not had a more dramatic effect on employment than earlier technological breakthroughs" or it has is irrelevant. Earlier technological breakthroughs put thousands of people out of work, too.
3) "The research, based on an analysis of official data on the labour market and figures from the tech industry on usage and exposure to AI" is therefore nonsense because the official data on the labor market is fudged and the figures from the tech industry are also fudged.
Exactly, the judge's job here was to address her conduct. If [anyone at] JP Morgan is to be punished, that action will have to come from their shareholders, as they are the ones who suffered damages due to the lack of diligence.
If she hasn't done it already, then obviously it's not going to happen.
If she was smart enough to move some of those ill-gotten gains into the right havens, then she will get to keep them.
That's a real problem and I agree it's part of the answer.
But speaking of things which are legal to use in the US, what about all of the synthetic fragrances we pump into our cleaning products (including body cleaning products!) which are also outlawed in the EU? Not just the scents, but scent-booster products which also contain compounds of concern.
The EU is doing a much better job of protecting people from toxic chemicals and compounds than the US in general, not only in food. Consider the packaging the food is in as well...
