The victims don't want to impose suffering for the sake of suffering though. It's supposed to be an empathy building exercise.

The mistake is thinking CEOs have access to any empathy in the first place.

Social reasons. It's easier to just do it than have a 5 year old not understand why they're the only one that misses out, or explain the whole thing and expect a 5 year old to keep it secret from their friends, pissing off all the other parents when they tell them, all to avoid doing something that's just a bit of fun anyway and isn't likely to destroy your kids trust in you for life by itself.

Jokes on them, I occasionally forgot when my kid told me and just had to say I guess the tooth fairy was extra busy. Once I forgot 2 nights in a row. So this wouldn't have been conclusive data.

Consider they are almost certainly translating the comments here back to their language using AI which could lose nuance.

I actually do something for monthly bills where I set aside half its amount every 2 weeks. So if it's $100 a month, I put away $50 each fortnight to pay it. Then every 6 months a magical spare $50 appears that I can do whatever with.

Also it gets worse. Either he's commandeered his friend into doing this with him for free, or they're splitting it and he's actually managing to average every 12 minutes.

If you want to actually know, you eat it vertically instead of horizontally like most are taught. You honestly barely notice the core if you eat it this way, I do it to get a reaction sometimes. You can probably find videos online if you're not sure exactly what I mean.

Criticise llm all you want but it's successfully walked me through some really technical things that I had no idea how to do.

I meant in the swimming, sorry for not clarifying. Though you could absolutely consider only looking at that event not looking very close, but that is why I said from what I've seen and not as a fact of the entire competition.

Though on the other hand you did only offer a single additional name so it doesn't really dispute it being majority no names in my mind. Even 1-2 big names per event would still be pretty much majority no names depending how you define it.

That is not analogous to this. The fact you can measure the same effect using light as using dark should immediately tell you that you aren't measuring dark at all.

The reality is all you are measuring is discreet points and calling it movement. It's not movement even in a loose sense. Calling this movement is like calling an animated character running across the screen movement. Just like that is hundreds of individual images that your brain perceives as movement, the light or shadow is thousands of points of light (or, in the reverse, absence of light) that your brain perceives as movement.

If there was a ring around the earth and you shine a laser pointer at it and rotate 360 degrees you could measure insane "speeds" of the dot moving along the ring. By the same logic his video uses you can claim to have invented teleportation and essentially infinite speed by turning the light off, moving it, and having the light or shadow be in another location when you turn it back on. Hopefully that really illustrates how much these are individual "things", not things "moving".

The photons making the light, or with the shadow, the photons being blocked, are not the same photons that were making the initial point. They are new ones in a new location.

 

Tried many apps since joining a few months ago, by far love this one the most. Has pretty much everything I could ask for and a really nice design.

One feature I feel like I'm missing that I had on the reddit app I used to use is a button on comments that let's you jump to the parent/ context of that comment.

I know you can follow the coloured lines/collapse the comments in between as a work around, but I really liked this feature for very long and convoluted comment chains to easily see what a comment is replying to.

Thanks for all your hard work on this app, it really shows.

Edit: Link.

The spoiler tag not working is particularly concerning.

 

Grew up in Victoria but now live in NSW. Still trying to work this whole thing out so this is kind of like my test post I guess.
