This is such cry-baby nonsense.

NONSENSE.

Since 2008, I have personally mentored dozens of young dudes (at no cost whatsoever, just because that's what successful people do).

I have helped poor dudes in bad neighborhoods buck up, get some side hustles, stack cash, and buy property.

You fucked yourself because you refuse to actually do someone to buy property. I don't know ANYONE, starting with even zero money, who couldn't find a nice home in just 2-3 years of saving money properly -- except the lepers in California, and fuck them anyway.

Swap 'EV' with 'car'.
The powerplqnt doesn't matter at this point.

I would rather let Nazis speak and elect to block them myself than have an entire moderation team block everyone they disagree with.

Reddit is equally a shithole.

Heck. /. used to have a good libertarian minority and today it's nerds defending their trans kids here.

Ever consider that with their tech level that you wouldn't see trans people? We only see them today because the transformation isn't perfect.
Dr. Bashir was apparently able to pull a sex change operation on Quark within hours as an out patient procedure. Then reverse it. Now, I know, not human, but you should get the point. Other things we see are artifical eyes, hearts, and cloned spines.
Basically, one of the main cases could have had a sex change and we'd never know it unless it came up in the background.
As for TOS, that would be a Doyalist explanation - not an issue yet even on people's minds. Racism still was. True through TNG at the least.

Indeed. For that matter, it just occured to me that it fits the "communist manifesto" pretty good.

Consider that Earth, that became a founding member of the Federation, had to suffer through WWIII and the Eugenics wars. Depending on the writers, those might have been separate or the same conflict. And if you follow the backstory, they had to be bad. Worse than WWI and WWII put together, higher casualty rates.

And what did Marx put in his writings? That the utopian communist society would have to be put in place through revolution - let's see, they eliminate money after an extremely damaging world war...
Though later writers did tend to moderate stuff a bit. I always keep in mind that we're seeing the Federation primarily through the lens of Starfleet, effectively the Navy. Of course, it's going to keep its crews fed and happy. It's probably not going to worry about money, though apparently, they do have "credits" - transporter, replicator, that sort of thing.
The Vulcans and most other races still seem to have money, so the lack is mostly human/earth based. Despite the Vulcan's backstory actually being worse, war wise.

That said, I have to disagree on "woke" and transhumanism. I'm a scifi nerd. Woke isn't even dipping its toe into that.

Perhaps, but the other side can display all the science showing that the specific event in question was casused by the emission of way too much global greenhouse gas emissions.
Then remember that civil trial evidence standards are not "beyond a reasonable doubt" but "preponderance of the evidence", IE "more likely than not". With a criminal trial the defense can win by injecting enough slivers of doubt to reach "reasonable doubt" to get a not guilty verdict. With a civil trial, they have to go much further and reach "probably not us", which is much more difficult.

We've always had "preaching" stories. What do you think the Bible nearly entirely is?
90% of stuff is crap. Survivorship bias means that you don't see the crap produced hundreds of years ago and forget about the crap produced dozens of years ago.

The problem with "woke" stuff is that they lose track of needing to "tell a good story" in order to successfully sell their morality play.

I would prefer to replace myself, yes.

I have a 37 year work history of finding ways to replace myself and folks like me. I already offer my clients free Ai consulting on the side to help them replace me. I'm already onto the "next thing" that will replace Ai in the headlines anyway.

I don't own a computer. I am not a programmer. I do everything from my iPhone.

In the past 10 years, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on human programmers to create 3 web apps. Zero of them ever were finished. ZERO.

I used Grok AI to create 5 web apps. 3 of them were monetized almost immediately and have paying clients. All 5 have passed security checks that look for bugs or hack entry points.

One of the 3 monetized web apps took me all of 30 minutes using Grok, on an airplane, using my iPhone. I was able to download the files and upload them to a web server and the site was live. Literally 30 minutes and that website has created thousands of dollars of passive income.

I use vibe coding DAILY to make spreadsheets better for me and clients (I am not in IT). I use vibe coding DAILY to come up with cool functions for my web apps that people pay me to use.

That reminds me of an actual deployment. USAF, our backup generator had a blown regulation system. Our solution was literally that whenever we had to go onto it, we'd station an airman at the generator manually turning the adjustment knobs to keep it at 240V@60Hz.

I almost wonder if that's actually a dude who was on the flight or someone taking advantage of an opportunity to get in the news.

Seems so unlikely.

I own a tiny indie studio in Chicagoland and my peers own the some of the huge studios in Chicagoland.

Cinespace is dead right now. It has ONE show active. The other studios are so dead that they're secretly hosting bar mitzvahs and pickleball tournaments for $1500 a day just to pay property taxes.

My studio is surprisingly busy but I'm cheap and cater to non-union folks with otherwise full time jobs.

That's a bit like asking a new company with heavy manufacturing infrastructure to turn a cash profit the first year.

The whole idea is that with the base software done, they keep adding the extra features necessary for more people to file, with more and more able to each year.

Okay, I think that you're too close to the experience - you made it, why can't others?
Basically, I'm taking more of a statistical approach - in the sense that for each obstacle you put in front of a bunch of students, a percentage will fail. You don't want to give students any more excuses to fail than you can.

I think that I 'm not going to use high school scores as a hiring metric, period. Heck, not even a college degree.

The real question would be whether de-emphasizing homework and weekly testing improves performance or not. "Too much testing" is a refrain I heard a lot a few years ago.

In this case, note how I said "I'd object" not "I object", IE "I would object to"
Basically, race was not mentioned in the article, but I could see somebody trying to use it in the actual system, so I addressed it.
