Where does this guy work work that has him in a position capable of “saving the company” but without either correspondingly high pay or stock options?

I don’t have the statistics but my impression is that straight women turned on by gay men are actually quite common, and I’ve never encountered men fascinated by lesbian romance the way some women are fascinated by gay male romance.

As for your question: I’m a straight man and at least for me, sexual attractiveness seems like a property only women can have. This might sound silly, but a part of me feels sorry for straight women and gay men because they’re attracted to a category of people which is so clearly not attractive. Intellectually I know that attraction is subjective and other people can experience attraction to men the way I experience attraction to women, but on some level I can’t quite believe that. So, in short, two women together are two attractive beings. A woman with a man is an attractive being with a non-attractive being.

It’s more reasonable than the headline makes it sound. The commissioner pointed out that he’s not in charge of the decision to use Flock cameras and told the group of people who wanted to express their opposition to him anyway to pick one representative who would do so.

I’ve been to meetings where people repeatedly express the same negative opinion of a policy to someone with no control over that policy and I guess that’s what the commissioner wanted to avoid.

What I don’t get is why prices aren’t already rising more than they have. It seems like literally everyone except the Trump administration itself expects the strait of Hormuz to remain blocked for a long time, so shouldn’t that be priced in already?

I’d say the greater danger is your points acting as a lightning rod.

I’m not sure it’s better to have AI regulated by fools than it is to have AI unregulated. It’s ironic that I actually trust Amodei personally more than I trust the American public and its elected representatives. (I trust both that his intentions are better and that he has more of the wisdom necessary to carry them out.) That’s not to say that I trust him very much in absolute terms…

It’s from being an older brother. My sister would often start sentences with “I want…” and I would immediately interrupt.

I saw a turtle and I tried to photograph it, but the picture came out blurry, like the turtle was moving too quickly.

No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you’ll find
You get what you need

I haven’t tested MV3 ad blockers on Chrome because it was easier to just switch to Firefox back when Chrome first made MV2 disabled by default.

That’s an advertisement, not financial analysis.

Would the houses inside be loosely spaced like that? I figured they would build connected rows of houses, to get as many inside the walls as possible.

A friend of mine back in high school liked coming to school in a full Chinese military uniform, including the hat. She was a short woman so I wonder where she got one that fit.

Why? There’s no crime here.

That Halloween episode had no effect on me whatsoever.

This sounds like police carelessness rather than a problem with the technology - they just decided to arrest the closest person the system could find who had the same rare car. The license plate reader did not malfunction.

How do you get into the bailey? The fence has no gate.

And they seem to be doing ok so far.

I hate the feeling of getting even a tiny bit of food on my face so I have to cut the mango into delicate pieces.

I think the author underestimates the extent to which Japan will be able to innovative, or to copy innovations from other countries with shrinking populations. Dramatically falling birth rates are a global issue and so is hostility towards immigration (although generally not to the same extent as in Japan). There is going to be a vast amount of effort invested into developing new technologies to compensate for that.
