<p>In 2008, Goldman Sachs had their M&A department come in as usual, working on deals all day. They didn't close a single deal in over a year. (This is hearsay, btw)<p>So with that being the only anecdotal data point I have, the emails won't stop until the recruiters become fewer.</p>

<p>Okay this is some amusing and problematic cognitive dissonance.<p>The West gets attacked because of its military occupations in Mesopotamia. That is the criteria for Jihad. Any random teenage edgelord that happens to be Muslim can always take the pedantic “its my duty” approach at any time. The vast majority do not, any slight provocation from then on encourages that sentiment. China’s approach avoids this because they have no <i>military occupation</i> of traditionally muslim lands. That approach has <i>worked better</i> for China’s national security while operating in islamic areas, they invest and have been masterful at it. The Western/US approach never factored in its own national security, or any attempt at understanding Islam, and its been a disaster for its people and a boon to its defense contractors. The key point is that its never been about “rising up on behalf of all muslims being oppressed” its always been about “excising a cancer from traditionally islamic lands”. And that makes inaction towards Xinjiang and the plight of the Uighurs make way more sense, than the fundamentally rocky assumption that action from some unspecified Muslim people is expected to occur.<p>Secondly, some Uighars have already done the terror attacks within China, over “small things”. Long before the massive dragnet and crackdown. This is where China’s identity politics come into play, that some other commenters have pointed out. China’s domestic stance and behavior isn't really about Muslims, its about “territorial unity” with an undercurrent of ethnic discrimination. But ultimately the Uighers are on their own, and East Turkistan isn't going to be a thing.</p>

<p>I mean she probably doesn’t think about it that way, she’s probably never stepped back and noticed “we dont have the technology to either protect children <i>or</i> find CSAM” she probably never thought that and said “but I dont care!” and she definitely never thought “because it fulfills the totalitarian prophecy of The Order! ><i>hissss</i><”<p>its not about bribery, its about being led on by the nearest grifter because everyone actually working on technology isnt in the same circles as the politicians</p>

<p>Another thing to note is that all the quotes from Medjedovic are directly to a journalist (at Bloomberg, the article was there a few days ago), which leads me to think there are intentional omissions towards the journalist. It is new that this level of detail is reported about happenings in the crypto space, from traditionally and previously non-crypto publications. It had usually been confined to "broad market selloff, here's a bunch of hot takes from our gloomy college friends on how it goes to zero!" instead of "specific incident within a crypto community, here's what happened". Medjedovic on the other hand is only seen as taking advantage of situations, such as a journalist that is perhaps merely enthused by the crypto asset economy at a publication that needs someone looking at it, but maybe not well versed in it or having editors that would notice either.</p>

<p>I look for things that are immediately applicable to me.<p>A tangential example is to think about how Amazon Basics (household items) took over without any advertising (maybe shopping placement was privileged inside Amazon platforms though). It solved people's problems that were being dismissed as too basic to solve.<p>When I think about workflow adjustments, its usually one thing I'm looking for. If the solution has some other cool things about then, now I'm getting somewhat exposed to them too.<p>If its not immediately applicable, I'm not really prioritizing it.</p>

<p>If you're being fired<p>> The invite will be titled “Meeting regarding your role at Klarna”.<p>lol ouch! They should make it a gamble where everyone has a meeting and you don't know what the outcome will be! But since thats even more resource intensive I would much prefer a mass pre-recorded zoom call over that.<p>I can understand that the former thing has better PR than the latter thing. But I think employed Americans are more adept at the fickle nature of their employment, whereas when the news articles go out about a mass zoom meeting firing, it gets the attention and hot takes from a bunch of more disconnected unemployable Americans and out of the loop people from other developed nations chiming in.</p>

<p>So if the leading cause of death from the 18-45 year old group is opioid overdoses<p>and since abstinence only education is ineffective<p>and the culture could be updated to carrying naloxone to prevent said deaths, if people were actually willing to have a conversation that wasn't based on abstinence only<p>then.... this is a dumb and counterproductive policy? how much of the insurance pool is really affected? ... the narcan is to save your friends if you're there, this is like saying "there's a defibrillator nearby so since you might die, insurance denied" with a difference being that there was a purchase record. if an insurance pool is part of the calculation, would that difference matter? seems like you would need actual evidence instead of guesswork.</p>
