How is this not exactly the same in engineering though? Performance reviews at top tech companies are pretty much designed to identify the super high performers and shove massive bonuses and equity grants their way.
And those equity grants are effectively as good as cash, since they are publicly tradable stock.
You're both saying the same thing. Seemingly dull people become interesting depending on the audience, particularly when the dullee actively interviews the duller.
Do people, in general, form opinions of others based on reddit posts?
That seems... odd... to me.
For example, I work in a very, extremely, small and specialized subsector of the aerospace industry. Everyone knows everyone else, or close to it.
If I'm going to work with Alice and I don't know Alice I can be assured that Bob knows Alice or at least Charlie, Bob's and my Director of Engineering, knows Alice. Maybe she's new? Doesn't matter, Alice works for either Charlie, Dan, or Erin.
If I was directed to a reddit post about Alice not only would I not read it, I would be instantly suspicious of the person who wrote it (What kind of dickhead goes on Reddit and complains about a coworker? A huge dickhead, that's who.) and the evidentiary weight of any discussion that would be forced upon me (because I wouldn't read the post to begin with) regarding Alice would be so low as to be irrelevant.
You can see how (edit: incredibly) dumb all of this is, right?
When I read "My full statement regarding DOOM Eternal (2022)" I thought it was going to be about egregious bugs or something, not bullshit People Magazine drama.
All of that being said, if Frank writes a reddit post about Alice, and Alice responds with a FOURTEEN THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED, AND TWENTY-THREE word essay that I'm tricked into reading, my only thought is "wow, Frank and Alice are both apparently dickheads".
"All that said, if Frank (a giant in the industry) drags someone through the mud with lies and tries to pay them less or ruin a career and Alice comes back with receipts, I'll think equally poorly of them"
>The 28-year-old sales representative is big on protein. “I found that if I prioritized protein and half-assed the rest of everything else, it gave me the body I wanted,” he said.
This is all that matters, though. If it works, it works, and for those who use it as a way to eat more candy, nothing will work.
Someone who has a blood cholesterol level in excess of 1000 should have been on heavy dose statins years and years ago. Plenty of people can eat all sorts of diets and not have blood serum cholesterol levels like that.
>The moderation is hyper partisan on all sides. Not just the left.
It is absolutely just the left. The right-leaning spaces, even /r/conservative, do not ban for "wrongthink" unless it is accompanied with obvious contempt or hostility. Conversely, you'll be banned from a number of subreddits simply for posting in /r/conservative or other labeled-right-leaning subreddits.
90% of /r/conservative's posts only allow flaired users (verified conservatives). There is an ongoing foodfight about verified users expressing neocon ideas like supporting Ukraine.
I don't have any recent information on pre-emptive bans, but years ago /r/conservative had a particular mod (I won't name) who did just that.
Nah, I think the point is someone wants to make a obviously false statement out loud to push the Overton window.
If you(the general you, not you in particular /nailer)disagree with me, then please explain how any casual observation of the subreddit r/conservative lets someone state that the subreddit does not engage in censorship or banning for wrong think, and with the critical caveat that I will not accept the moderators of r/conservatives statement’s that they don’t engage in censorship as proof on its own
This comment is incongruent with base reality. You get banned from /r/conservative for disagreeing with Donald Trump on anything and 90% of the time you can only comment if they've verified that you only commented conservatively in the past.
I literally gave you an example of being removed from right wing spaces for wrong think. They wanted me to pretend a group of people didn’t and never existed or I couldn’t participate. It’s not subtle at all either. How can you think it’s only the left?
Ok, look liberals can be bad in building echo chambers, fine, but literally like 3 days ago on /r/conservative there was a post asking if it was ok to disagree with the mainstream of /r/conservative because so many conservative posts were getting removed. A casual reading of /r/conservative shows like 100s of deleted comments on every thread.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they have a huge brigading problem, again it’s not limited to /r/conservative, but /r/conservative is a laughable example. /r/Republican and /r/Trump are better examples even.
I had a 2019 MacBook Pro until last year when my work issued me an M2. It's noticeably snappier and its battery life is far better than the 2019's was.
I'm not sure there is a good means for buying over voice only, and I'd argue it's only possible to know now that users overwhelmingly prefer digitally handling the product (title, pictures, description, reviews) before making even repeat purchases. Similarly, I'm not sure Amazon could convert consumers to a tablet-based purchasing device like they envisioned Alexa; we all have smart phones and tablets already.
e.g. I order a particular soap/shampoo or coffee beans every few months. If they had tried recognizing it, they could actually have improved the experience.
