Absolutely, law enforcement in the US is disproportionately not normal people. The system is designed to reject smart people who are not aggressive and have empathy. The system is designed to accept people who will uphold the design of the system.

The medical training involved for nurses and physicians is absolutely not equivalent

Even the house is unfairly tilted towards smaller states because of the 538 limit

Either your head is 6 feet deep in the sand or you aren't really so non partisan

We have had secure elections for a long time, how is it that the only 2 that Trump has presided over are the ones that are a security concern?

Countless directors and managers are now cosplaying as engineers. I've seen so many myself and that's just my tiny slice of this engineering world

This already exists as something called dot phrases, which most doctors are familiar with. These are typically shared and refined and highly useful. You can find plenty of resources online as well.

This is just a hacky way of doing the same thing, all on your own, and a tremendously silly way to do it. Which makes sense because this is literally just an ad.

MCAS is the underlying condition, which is then triggered by a Covid infection. This results in an escalation of baseline symptoms, which is what Long Covid is

Opportunity for all the big money to get something back out while they can, which collapses the whole thing

Same here. Anyone being even hesitant about AI is viewed negatively by management

Having long ago built an app that does gamecasts for multiple sports, similar to what you get from ESPN, every sport is completely different. There's almost nothing that matches up, except for the very basic concept of a box score. Even play by play has enough differences to be vastly different

Our stock price has also gone down 70% in the last few months

Naturally, we're pivoting our platform to put AI front and center

The state constitution does not forbid an income tax. We both know it is more nuanced than that. Don't accuse me of bad faith in the same comment that you present an inaccuracy in the form of simplification that suits your argument

Ahh, another favorite talking point. Yes, because the tax burden is already carried by the people you claim to worry about

For readers not in Washington, there is currently legislation being worked on that is essentially a millionaire's tax, (simplified as) 10% income tax on income over 1 million dollars, inflation adjusted.

There are a few very angry, emotional, and vocal opponents of this in most corners of the internet, although very few of them actually make a million dollars and there are many million+ income people supporting this.

Demographically, there are over 3 million households in WA, and only 20k of them would be affected.
