Really shitty. I'm arrogant so I do want to point out the obvious: Trump won the primaries and became the candidate for the Republican team because the Republican party is shitty.

Both parties are really shitty.

That's an example of why they have really bad messaging, because they are more interested in politics than in science/reality. That leaves room for someone like Trump (the reality TV star) to do better messaging.

Biden/Harris were going around saying they wouldn't trust the vaccine. Governor Newsom was throwing large dinner parties after telling everyone to socially isolate. That's a strong indicator of people who don't care about science, and that's why they can't do better messaging than Trump.

The problem with free form worlds is they invariably turn into some kind of crappy reality TV show. That's the only way most people know how to interact with each other.

A clear example is the messaging on vaccines and masks. These aren't a matter of scientific debate: if everyone wears a mask and gets vaccinated, the pandemic will be slowed.

But, somehow it turned into "Biden is forcing us to do ..." whereas with a little better messaging, only crazy people would have minded. The problem wasn't the message, it was the way the message was delivered.

You should probably put more effort into winning the election next time.

Trump is what you get when your party sucks at communicating.

Yeah, it's not personal, I just feel like you've been caught up too much in the AI hype and that clouded your vision. You are definitely a net positive in the conversation: with interesting ideas and a (unfortunately not more common) ability to actually look things up and learn.

The AI problem will resolve itself automatically in the next few years (either the AI hype will die out or strong AI will be invented; one way or another.)

I don't know that Eventbrite was ever more than shit to begin with.

It makes perfect sense, you explained clearly how it could happen.

The reasonable way of looking at it is, "What is the probability of that happening?" That's a scientific question.

From a technical point of view, you can also ask why would you ever make your compiler target LLVM bitcode. There are better options.

Which analysts?

The difficulty of migrating away from Github is when you've built your entire deploy pipeline and QA process around it, which is what a lot of companies are doing lately.

Look, at least they haven't completely deleted all user data recently, like they did with Sidekick. Congrats on the small victories.

There was a big scandal about smooth submarine motion during the cold war. Toshiba makes the quietest refrigerator I've ever heard (42 db iirc). Can't hear it in the next room.

lol do you have any other questions you'd like to ask to display your ignorance?

Trump is a bully, but he's mainly a coward.
