Too bad money goes directly to the publisher to decide who gets what.

I’m the CTO of my company and was forced to downsize from 48 devs to 3… It was really hard. Telling everyone myself was even harder. Everyone was nice about it, understood it wasn’t my choice, but you’re impacting lives. To talk to someone having a normal day and then suddenly they’re reeling and trying to think of how they’ll survive.
I honestly think if our board has to be the ones to tell them it wouldn’t even register for them. It would be like ordering food. The people at that level only see money.

You’re wrong.
What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Ahhh this line of logic. Yes, people can forego luxury items and save money while being healthier. You could never eat red meat, or drink soda, or have ice cream, sure, that would be much healthier and cheaper.

My guess would be around your note. If someone mistakenly has two SSNs (due to fraud, error, or name changes), combining DOB helps detect inconsistencies.
Some other possibilities, and I’m just throwing out ideas at this point:
- Adding DOB could help with manual lookups and verification.
- Using SSN + DOB ensures a standard key format across agencies, making it easier to link records.
- Prevents accidental duplication if an SSN is mistyped.
- Maybe the databases were optimized for fixed-length fields, and combining SSN + DOB fit within memory constraints.
- It was easier to locate records with a “human-readable” key. Where as something like a UUID is harder for humans to read or sift through.

Ya, I think calling them all Nazis isn’t accurate or right. But you can absolutely call them Nazi supporters.

Those is the exact thing the OP is talking about. Telling people they need to go out and fight, putting their lives on the live when you don’t know their situation.
Self defense is not an ablest concept, it’s a natural response to being threatened, and it’s not limited to getting and using weapons.

It wasn’t just the first few lines, it was the direct answer to the question though, that was my sticking point.
I get how racism can be deep under the surface, like a sort of “shadow racism” but I think assuming there’s racism at play can be damaging as well. I get where you’re coming from, I guess I just don’t agree with the arrived at point.

You said
What’s racist about it?
It’s because people the meme states that DeepSeek didn’t accomplish anything novel. That the real innovation was done in America with ChatGPT.
You literally said claimed that as what was racist about it…
- Comment on Should have seen it coming 3 weeks ago:
Saying company A copied company B isn’t racist. Those clsims are made all the time. This is really digging to make it racist.

- makes an inflammatory comment
- someone responds to it
- you say you don’t want to argue about the topic you initiated
- continue to engage with that person
What you say and what you want, do, and say don’t see to line up. You’d do great in politics.

Now work in EBITDA and realize that not even net profit is really net profit. Understanding EBITDA really was a big lightbulb for me.

This. Having a button you hit to respec would get rid of a lot of the “you did it wrong, start over” vibe that can kill it for people

I’m ok with complexity but for the love of God let me respec in a reasonable way. Farming orbs to reset a single point at a time is nonsense.

Yes, and if they use that monopoly of power to suppress and harm people then they will quickly lose that monopoly. A state is run but the people, if that changes the people will attempt to take control back.
