This is why I love pi-hole. I have no idea what you're talking about. I see no ads on that page.

That probably means they're also terrible.

Idk that they ignored it but mentioning the 16yo son as collateral damage (ie murdered for no reason other than proximity?)

PS: sorry if this sounds like gibberish. I didn't get the impression that Al-awaki was innocent. I assume they brought him up because his 16yp son was killed along with him.

In case it helps to illustrate the point, those aren't the most complicated things; those are areas in which a few very complicated, difficult problems exist. For example, semiconductors is a very massive field.

Designing the next utilitarian op amp is not something everyone can do but it's not that difficult of a problem, necessarily.

Designing the next cutting edge CPU (for Intel or AMD or Apple or whatever) on the other hand is (I imagine) a handful of very difficult problems (most of which I have only the vaguest idea of) like optimizing pipeline and predictive execution or how to get to the next level chip design & fabrication process (which itself has a bunch of different issues, from what I gather).

That's where I would expect the 10x or whatever to work. At the cutting edge of engineering and science where the hardest problems are.

Plenty of room for regular experts.

Standard interview questions are terrible for that. It's probably better to test how well they learn and how good their thinking is in certain areas.

I'd rather hire someone who hasn't a clue but can come up to speed than someone with decades of experience that still hasn't managed to learn much.

Outside of the context of job interviews, I find when talking informally with someone who truly knows a shitload, they tend to know enough to know how much more there is to know and may make mention of that along the way. And those that don't know how much they don't know of course can't really mention that because they can't even convince of all the stuff they don't know.

I always pay attention to people who are like the former and who are comfortable with maintaining an appropriate level of uncertainty because it usually means they think more scientifically.

Or put another way, he who speaks loudest knows least.

What "people", what "experts" and in what field? What industry? Can you provide any additional context for the question?

Is the premise that "people" never hire "experts" or are you wondering about those cases where they don't? I find it hard to believe this former is universally true.

I kind of love being wrong and updating what I know. I had to find some sources.

dark roasts tend to be slightly lower in caffeine after the roasting process.

That said, recent and older studies alike suggest that the difference is negligible.

This one references actual scientific studies.

Well that's a good sign. I really enjoyed that flick.

“In the beginning, animated movies starring Chris Pratt were spaced by 24 weeks, then 12, then six, then every two weeks. The last one, with Garfield, was a week. In four days, we could be seeing new casting announcements every eight hours, until they’re coming every four minutes.”

😆 💀

More to the point, killing something onboard.

Also, even if he were the most leftist president in the US^1 That doesn't make him all that leftist if you look at the breadth of the political spectrum globally.

1 Roosevelt has entered the chat

Lol sorry no. It's a result of the Overton window shifting so far right in the US that now some people think anti-labor (e.g., response to train worker strike) is somehow leftist. If you have a more complete understanding of the political spectrum you know better.

Yes thanks, my bad. I knew this but it was early. Appreciate the detailed clarification!

Kagi has been working out pretty ok for me. Quality of searches is good. No ads, no promoted listings; it is fee based.

It's showing up on lemmy.one

Shows you whose side most of these news outlets are on. Once you see it, you can't unsee the rampant, egregious anti labor bias in the news, or actually anywhere. Many people in the US have been effectively trained to hate unions and those striking. It's just mind blowing to see how many people's knee jerk reaction is siding against strikers.

It isn't, I totally agree, but there are far fewer independently owned news outlets and far fewer owners than ever. And that is part of the reason we are here.

But, yeah, this is one of a few journalists reporting on what is actually happening with regard to Republican authoritarianism.

This is also what happens when news outlets are owned by a handful of giant corporations or billionaires.
