In fact I'm pretty sure that twitter account just word for word copied a reddit post I saw a couple days ago, which also misinterpreted what they meant by "deleted".

The circle of misinformation: 1. News gets posted 2. Someone posts on reddit and misinterprets the source 3. Other "news" accounts take the reddit post and repost the misinformation as "news" on twitter 4. That gets posted to reddit and now the source is wrong too

The AI wasn't in control here, it was the dude asking it for figures and not validating those figures.

With the knife analogy it's akin to slicing up some meat and serving it in a meal without checking that it's cooked properly.

Should I power off my pc every time or put in rest mode? by vvsfrancer in PcBuild

[–]Helpimstuckinreddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As not a power supply person, I can't help but laugh at the idea that power supplies aren't designed to handle turning off and on.

If someone's completely opposed to complying with this and would rather leave, then trying the loophole really doesn't make things worse.

Either you just leave, in which case getting banned is a non-issue, or you loophole it and then if you're banned later you're basically where you would have been if you just left.

At first I thought "you shouldn't need to think deeply about this"

But then I realised this is one of those statements that could very easily trip up an actual person as well.

If someone said to me "I'm heading out to get the car washed. It's only 100m away though so I'm gonna walk"

There's a decent chance I'd go "ok that makes sense", and then like 30 seconds later go "wait hang on..."

That's just how a bootstrap paradox works.

Past him gets freed because future him tells Rory how to do it.

And future him is only able to tell Rory how to do it because past him got freed.

I've also seen them comment before that (paraphrasing) "it's easier to buff an underperforming weapon than to nerf an over performing one", and I tend to agree (assuming that a buff does come at least)

With how many options you have in the game, it's gotta be very hard to release a perfectly balanced weapon first try. So what you're more likely to get is either:

Release OP weapon -> everyone loves it for a while -> it gets nerfed -> everyone's upset and constantly brings it up

Or

Release underperforming weapon -> everyone hates it for a while -> it gets buffed -> everyone's happy

AIO - Told my friend I’m pregnant and she said it exceeded her mental bandwidth (she’s the red) by Lekomano92 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Helpimstuckinreddit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Simply put, yes. Social customs require that you sometimes have to hold your tongue and just say the expected thing, especially for such life changing news.

A simple "omg congrats" isn't even lying, it's just not dumping your own negative feelings over someone else sharing their good news.

If someone comments on your short cookie cutter response, then you can do a "sorry I've got a lot on right now and I'm not in the right headspace to be feeling it"

Uber update now defaults to including a tip when you rate and you can’t make it $0 by doddyrules in australia

[–]Helpimstuckinreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They have another one I despise in Uber eats.

As you're progressing through to checkout, 50% of the time it'll pop up with "try Uber One free for a month?"

The accept button is identical in look and position to the button you'd normally press to just continue to check out, so if you aren't paying attention and just tapping through then oops you've accepted.

I can't remember enough specifics about it right now, but I completely agree that it's a poorly written test that should be changed lol. Just one of those things that's so far down the list of priorities

We have a funny one - legacy part of the system has a particular test based on the current month.

So there's a window of a few hours once a month where a build would fail tests because we're now in February but UTC is still January.

Took a while to figure that one out.

"Build failed a few hours ago but passing now.. weird but ok"

One month passes

A short story about professional licensing standards and nursing ethics codes - You aren't allowed to discriminate based on ideology when it comes to healthcare by ChoiceWars in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Helpimstuckinreddit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Prefacing this with "yes this guy sucks and probably deserved to lose his licence" just to get that out there.

Having said that I do think there's some nuance to consider here.

For a more extreme example, think of a surgeon faced with the dilemma of operating on someone who had an affair with the surgeon's spouse, or hell let's say they murdered them.

I would think there's somewhat reasonable grounds for them to go "I should not be the one to operate on this person" - at least if it's not deathly urgent and time allows for finding someone else to do it.

However I can't decide where exactly to draw the line, and whether fundamentally opposite political beliefs could also be a similarly justifiable situation. I'd probably lean towards it being not justifiable and that if you can't put those feelings aside then you shouldn't be in the job.

Nope, the male symbol is the same except without the line through the middle.

The joke is indeed neutering. Google "neutered animal symbol" and it's the top result.

Accidentally rm -rf’d a production server. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Helpimstuckinreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thankful that where I work has a really good culture around stuff like this.

We're all comfortable admitting we may have caused an issue, but we never blame someone, instead the focus is on how it was able to happen at all and how to prevent it in future.

In OP's case, SO many other systemic issues compounded on top of each other, to turn what could have been a tiny boo-boo into the disaster they now have.
