Watching that "chance" of life rise, is kind of like watching the rising chances of the arrival of the Year of the Linux Desktop, only 1,000,000x less likely. That "slight" increase in the chance, is still very, very, very slight.
This is simple.
They want...
- Years of experience
- Great credentials
- Low salary
- Poor treatment at work
The high salaries in the summary are charry-picked, these are not normal. Most companies are trying to find senior developers for 100K, and that's not realistic. You get what you pay for.
His company advertises base salaries up to $490,000 for a director of machine learning. Daniel Park's startup Pickle offers up to $500,000 base salary and expects candidates willing to work seven days a week
First of all, these salaries are not representative of what is offered to this "sea of talent." Real salaries are much lower.
Second, 7 days a week? This guy deserves to have a hard time finding people, if that's his requirement.
While Trump leveraged distrust of the mainstream media, he didn't initiate that distrust. It was developing for decades before he came along.
Most of the news outlets *earned* that distrust, by fixating on 1) drama and 2) political correctness. Fox News started out trying to go for "We report, you decide," but that tagline is long gone. Now they're as slanted on the right, as MSNBC on the left. Even NPR's reporting, with its high standard of journalism, finds itself left-of-center. https://www.allsides.com/media...
While you have a point, I don't think the result is totally meaningless.
I do distrust different sources to different degrees, and on different subjects.
I personally rank Fox News and MSNBC as the most slanted (in opposite directions). CNN somewhat less slanted, but still pretty lopsided. NPR more towards the middle, but still gives different treatment to the different political points of view. There's a pretty good analysis here: https://www.allsides.com/media... Though I don't agree with their "Center" ratings.
I can't think of a single news source that is free of bias.
The only solution is to limit...
So how is that a solution? Do you think Russia, China, Iran, or you name a hundred other countries, are going to follow your suggested limits? Why would they do that? They wouldn't, any more than they limited their nuclear weapon production as people wrung their hands in worry.
You do know that movies are made up, right?
People have told me I should have been a doctor!
Maybe India hasn't gotten there yet, I suppose. But I can't remember the last handwritten prescription I got.
Nope, some of us are even cheaper. I won't even buy a "year's worth" of a streaming service, just one month at a time. I can watch everything I want on a service in a couple of months, because 95% of it is garbage.
You go ahead and spend $200 a month to keep all the services active, I'll use the extra $180 for other things I want.
It's actually quite good at finding the products you actually want to find, instead of the endless parade of irrelevant listings you get from similar searches on Amazon. Unfortunately, as soon as companies start paying OpenAI for prioritized placement, that quality of results will go out the window.
NPR may not align with MSNBC on everything, but it certainly does take sides on culture-war issues.
NPR very consistently refers to sex-change operations or hormone treatments as "gender-affirming care," a phrase which on its face, makes a judgment about whether these medical procedures and treatments are a good idea. Whatever your opinion, the phrase is an expression of an opinion on this hot topic.
Similarly, NPR routinely uses gender-ambiguous pronouns, and often refers to "pregnant people"--both editorial choices that make a statement about their opinion on gender identity issues.
The same slant is seen when discussing hot topics like the renaming of teams and mascots tied to native Americans, or student loan forgiveness, or the role of the Federal government in education.
In the spirit of selling less for more money, they could call the new version the MAX Mini.
Yep, kind of like pay phones.
Your information is a little out of date.
In the US, I can also pay anyone in the country, instantly, just knowing their phone number or email, if they registered with their bank.
Paper checks do still exist, but most stores no longer accept them, and most people no longer have them. I haven't had paper checks for years.
Chip cards are the norm.
Pennies, we do still have.
