True. But most of the time it does. And sometimes there IS a conspiracy! Isn't reality fun? And complicated :)

The same reason my friend wants to become automatic tester without ever learning how to write automatic tests. He wants perceived perks associated with the position (including more money and bragging rights) without actually wanting to work for it.

Those two things are connected.

Worker protections and better pay. And less cars crowding the streets. That's the benefit of classic taxi companies.

Gaiman: if you are in fact, the real terry pratchett
Gaiman: and not an imposter
Gaiman: like the imposter sandman hector hall in The Sandman, vol. 2: The Doll's House

We don't use auto-correct in this household. Not after the incident when my sister had to ask my mother "Did you forget your glasses or are you having a stroke? Should I call an ambulance?"

Of course I have and I never said that I approve of that. But corporate politics (and ethics) are mostly just high school cliques and way of thinking writ large.

Only instead of trying what some random buraucrat is will censor or support, nowadays we are trying to find out what some algorithm will promote or not. Full thanks to Cory Doctorow for teaching me this word pluralistic.net/2020/04/01/p...

Word of the day is Kremlinology:trying to find out how a "black box" system works based on the outputs to produce good results/evade bad results. Russian anecdote: a scientist in USSR is trying to not get his work censored. So he speaks to other scientists trying to find out what got them censored.

Either don't do shady and shitty stuff or, if you do shady and shitty stuff, try not to get caught and leave evidence everywhere. Its "teenager's night out" rule. Either don't let your parents find out what you did last night or don't do stupid, inexcusable shit.
