Cheating might be tolerated more in the US if the student is wealthy, which might be a US student or far more likely the scion of some family in a foreign country. It has not been tolerated anywhere I've attended though.

I'd only roast you for misunderstanding the "problem" to be solved. It's not that the societies are "low-trust" but that the cost of being caught for cheating is that you continue with the life already available to you or you win a golden ticket if you're not caught. It's a no-brainer.

There's no reason to not-cheat unless you absolutely don't have to and what's the maxim about good programmers, they're so lazy they'll figure out a work-around to save themselves some time? Even if it's stuff they know already? Once you're into the system there are mutual shared interests and political efforts that can support such a career.

I read one of their customers on here raving about the mortgage rate they got through SVB because it was so much better than anything offered by anyone else.

I don't see any evidence of any overall prudent investing on their part considering the entire bank had to be bailed out and FDIC limits relaxed.

The purpose of incorporation is to encourage business speculation by offering a mechanism to limit personal liability of the owners. That's the only purpose a corporation has and they definitely don't have responsibilities themselves as they are only a legal fiction. The employees of a corporation have responsibilities.

What if it raises it because now that a former employee is unencumbered by non-disparagement clauses, employers have an incentive to offer decent/generous severance to ensure the former employee is not a now disgruntled former employee?

At least in crop agriculture the work tends to be concentrated during planting and harvest so there is a big period in between with nothing to do for most of the people involved in planting and harvest. The labor for at least some of the Egyptian pyramids were idle farmers who had free-time available for hire, iirc.

This is a terrible analogy. RT.com is a reliable purveyor of conspiracy theories and incendiary lies. The BBC's examination of Narendra Modi's well-documented behavior leading up to, during and after the Gujarat riots is well-supported by other media and academic sources.

I don't want to listen to unskilled voice-actors read a book to me. I definitely don't want some super awkward software voice that can't interpret the text to provide emotional color to their inflection. And this is not something I think is easily solvable by a 2023 AI startup.

So China is the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this scenario, initiating WWI or Axis Powers NAZI Germany and imperial Japan?

So you are saying China started WW3 by attacking Taiwan?

How do you start WW3 when China is the (hypothetical) aggressor? It's not possible.

Does experience in high-school journalism support the claim that professional journalism is all a conspiracy to manipulate the reader? I doubt it, and I edited my high-school newspaper for two years lol

I would point out that under capitalism there have been famines even when there has been plenty of surplus food. A lack of famine either acute nor chronic is surely not a defining characteristic of capitalism.

For Russia? It isn't.

Now the Saudis are the second largest stockholder in Twitter after Elon. And I commend you for pointing out the charity of this Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, I am sure he and Saudi Arabia have no expectations for graciously forgoing their millions in profits while offering this charity to "The World's Richest Man".

Nobody said trusting minorities was a requirement of a high-trust society but I believe you've completely underlined my point, unintentionally. Immigrants aren't "outsiders" for example. And women and single men, atheists and others I mentioned have nothing to do with race or ethnicity.

>The US used to be a high trust society

I don't believe this to be true, or I suppose I would require evidence for this claim that I haven't yet encountered in my life. I find when someone claims that "America used to be so much better" they're completely discounting the experience of all the people who weren't born into or existing in privilege or within the US "in-group."

The US has always been distrustful of the indigenous people already inhabiting the North American continent, of newly arrived immigrants, of black people, of single men. Single women were sometimes witches and murdered for it and only recently trusted enough with their own personal freedom, which is being curtailed again. Atheists were never trusted.

I really don't think the US was ever a "high-trust" society and there doesn't seem to be any evidence or foundation to claim that it was.

> invoking power-of-attorney

You may be thinking of Legal Guardianship. Power of attorney just means someone is authorized to make the same legal decisions as the subject of the power of attorney and can be overridden by the subject.

Brittany Spears was subject to and abused by Guardianship.

HackerNews tries to discourage the sort of pop culture references that are so prevalent across the Internet in the hopes of fostering real substantial communication and dialog. I don't speak on their behalf but as a member of their audience and this has been the culture of this site for a long while, which is why I downvoted your post, the post you replied to, and the other posts that reference this same Simpsons quote which I hope will illustrate that references like this are not very creative either.

Yeah, Sabu is a real creep. I hope this podcast fails.

Any examples? Their blog post on the dating economy being skewed away from black women seemed to match with economic and social realities.

Sometimes equilibrium is 0.

Google bought doubleclick early on which is definitely ad tracking and not intent. It's important to remember the full history.

This is why I tell my friend who is passionate about extraterrestrials visiting Earth that I believe in UFOs but not flying saucers or alien spacecraft. Hard to argue with true-believers though.

It doesn't work that way. Market cap depends on circulating coins/tokens. This is an opportunity for you to learn some more though, which is always good!

It seems there's a distinct historical lack of lynching of violent racists and bigots. They appear to be the perpetrators of the vast majority of lynchings. Where "lynching" is not the getting rejected by an internet service provider but getting dragged by some violent thugs to be leered at in your final moments as you struggle and choke to death gasping for air for no reason at all.

To equate the two is to insult the rest of us and I, for one, despise being insulted.

Common? That's some outrageous hyperbole. Claims about casus belli against Mexico, America's largest trading partner? Now you've indicted your own intellectual capabilities.

I am sure staking pools will be available to people with less than 32 ETH

I was mostly poking fun at the commenters on this article at the time and their absolutist literalist reading of the article headline. Japan didn't invent these techniques necessarily, but they are a part of the defined culture of Japanese cuisine. Like French cuisine, there are defined processes for how a vegetable is treated for a specific context, whereas an amateur or other cuisine might not make a big point of dicing vs chopping for example.

From my imperfect understanding of Japanese cuisine, there is usually "a way to prepare a dish" and deviation from that way can be unwanted or problematic, a bit of a social faux pas.

You're telling me "julienne" is an English cutting technique? That's obviously French.
