I got a client side error after answering the second set of onboarding questions:

Are you a professional pen tester? Wow, we have not gotten that bug before. We'll look into that.

No, it's akin to saying landlords care about the occupancy of their buildings and their tenants paying rent. Of course they do, and of course they're prepared to use media influence to try and make that happen.

Of course they care. But no tenant really cares that they care.

Execs will look at the numbers. Renting is very expensive and eats up a large chunk revenue. So if you are going to keep paying rent and maintaining an office, you better have a good explanation for investors other than "Our landlord will be upset".

I'm sure plenty of CEOs are falling over themselves to mislead the board on rental costs so that they can protect their 2% portfolio stake in some random commercial REIT. Totally logical here.... /s

My personal fave is Blood Bowl. A really tightly designed game that plays in 150 minutes (and has turn timers so this is pretty reliable), works just fine if you don't know the lore (but will bring you in), and doesn't require buying additional models in the same way most of the others do. I think it got a reprint semi-recently too.

Yeah they did a season two box not long ago. And there’s the Dungeon Bowl expansion

I see where you're coming from, but...

A lot of the stuff the Imperium does is not just evil but also stupidly counterproductive. Planets starving due to rounding errors in the filing system is hard to take as an endorsement. And I couldn't disagree more with the Tau, if anything I wish they had made them more sinister. Having a whole faction of non-tragic good guys in the setting really spoils the vibe.

But the Orks - agree so hard. There's a quote in a Codex somewhere from an Eldar philosopher waxing on the point that the Orks are thriving and living their true lives, while the Eldar are decaying as a result of their own corruption and therefore the Orks are morally superior, and it rings quite true.

Would it be fair to allow anti-monarchy protesters to protest only 100m from anyone celbrating the coronation?

Surely 100 yards would be more appropriate

I think there's a difference between protesting an event and protesting individuals seeking medical help.

I came across this recently and your post made me wonder what you'd think of it:

I won't butcher the piece with a poor summary but it's a critical look at the peer review process.

I've read this post - broadly, I agree very much with it.

Unfortunately, inertia is a hell of a thing. Science is stuck with peer review for a few more decades at the very least. Many postgrads would do unspeakable things and commit various crimes to become a first author on a paper accepted into Nature, for example. It just means everything to academics.

arXiv is the biggest undermining threat to the professional peer review process, but in a weird way, it also bolsters it.

Anyway, at least Computer Science doesn't care much about academic journals. Hacker culture remains fairly strong.

How do you mean?

I am a layperson but I guess arXiv moderation is not different from peer-review. Some authors have voiced concern over the lack of transparency in the arXiv screening process.

It's possible that the supermarkets did some market research that misled them about how popular these products would be, but there is another option. Supermarkets can arrange all sorts of deals with suppliers. In some cases, the supplier will pay the supermarket to stock a new product, hoping that high margin sales or even just market penetration make it worth it.

Speech can cause a physical reaction equivalent to violence? That sounds less like a rational claim and more like the...

Oh, I see what you did there.

Come on people, don't feed the trolls.

I don't get it.

The Onion is a well known source of purposely incorrect information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion

The most common form I've seen is often not malicious: "thing you actually said is a weak form of this argument, the strongest form is in fact mostly agreeing with me"
