<p>This giant rube goldberg machine, that he apparently has almost no control of, that cost $12 to run, all to make a 2 line bug fix in code the <i>he himself owns</i> because he's at a point where he doesn't know what's in his own codebase. I'm just shaking my head.</p>

<p>>> I've written before how conservatives' yearning for "simpler times" is really just a wish to be a child again<p>Conservatives, whose core ideals are personal responsibility, individual freedom, and limited government, are the ones who want to "be a child with no cares" again, with their needs taken care of for them? Their entire world outlook and identity is the exact opposite of that. Going to stop reading right there.</p>

<p>If a significant portion of the population doesn't trust an election system, it's not a functioning system. It makes absolutely no difference whether those doubters are 100% correct or 100% wrong in their beliefs. If there's a sizable portion that don't trust it, and instead of taking measures to secure the elections and prove to those people that they're secure, you just call them stupid cultists and keep the system the same, you do not have a functioning system.</p>

<p>The extreme cognitive dissonance in these types is so odd - on the one hand, they claim that CEOs are these money-hungry evil tycoons who want to get as much out of their employees as possible, yet on the other hand, they also claim 4 day work weeks are supposedly so amazing and effective and improve productivity.<p>So .. why wouldn't these horrible CEOs who want to leech everything possible out of their employees gladly/immediately choose to implement 4 day work weeks, when they would supposedly make their employees more productive for the same cost? Why would they refuse to take that?</p>

Whereas the 'camp 2' people still continuously see all the faults with it.</p>

<p>Is the theme that any direction US tech advances in results in a persistent campaign of negative hit pieces aimed at trying to halt/destroy any achievements?

<p>An AI-generated article which summaries a pre-print release which surveyed 15 people at 15 companies about their thoughts on whether the arrangement was working for them. Of those 15, a grand total of 6 (unidentified) people at 6 (unidentified) companies (all in the same country), said they "thought" productivity had increased. Not a single data point was taken about whether it actually increased. The questions that these 15 people were asked was not disclosed.<p>An informal survey, of unknown content, of 15 unidentified people, with 6 of those people being in the "boosts productivity" camp. Cool beans. I guess that settles the matter once and for all.</p>

<p>Intelligent people in general have a better understanding of their knowledge, the limits of it, and uncertainty in that knowledge. If you ask them something and they don't have an answer that they know is objectively true, they'll often respond by telling you they don't know, or they "think" something is "probably" true.<p>On the other hand, people that aren't intelligent have very little self-awareness in that way and will just tell you whatever they "believe" is true, even though that belief could have extremely little connection to objective reality. They believe it because "other people believe it", or because that's just what they heard, etc.<p>I'm sure if you combined the study's findings with an  assessment of the intelligence of those same people, you'd find an extreme correlation between intelligence and the conceptual map they fall under.</p>

<p>"Forced to ban adult content by payment processors"<p>If you go through and click all the links and hunt down the source, the final source underlying it all is a comic author who says, without quoting anything, or any proof, that that's the reason why.
