From an outside perspective, that sounds rather funny.;)
We park our kids in front of the TV as well. They're three and a half. We let them watch Ultimate Spiderman, X-Men, The Last Airbender (and yes, we know that those are a bit on the heavy side for their age but they cope well) but also My Little Pony, Wickie (if that is even known around your parts) and Shaun the Sheep.
We don't let them watch anything we haven't or wouldn't watch (so no mindnumbing idiocy like Teletubbies) and when introducing them to things not meant for their age, we keep an eye on them until we're sure they can deal with the content.
Their language skills aren't as far as some other kids their age I've seen when it comes to proficiency in the language... but next to twin, they also not only speak and understand their mother tongue but English as well.
IMO, children need to be exposed to things in order to learn. They understand that there are not so nice people and they understand that death exists. They're no worse for having that knowledge.
Wile E. Coyote is actually a pretty diametral example. A lot of his failures were due to cartoon physics not being real physics. This joker here has it kinda backwards;).
He may be less competent at one aspect of human interaction. Seeing the validity of his points in the memo, how the hell would that compromise him to the point of broadly painting him as incompetent?
Are you that infantile to expect perfection from a human being before taking anything they say into consideration?
The memo dealt with males and females having different needs and strengths and in order to get a more balanced workforce, the work and workplace would have to adapt to that.
I don't remember there being ANYTHING about sexual attention forced on another.
Never watched STD (Oh how I love that nobody noticed that unfortunate abbreviation) and never going to as long as The Orville runs.
I was really apprehensive about a ST clone mad eby Seth McFarlane but it really works. He replaced the stuffiness of the Federation with his humor but the rest, that what I always liked about Star Trek, is there.
At least if I don't have to for some reason. I'm so happy with my medium priced Lenovo P2 it's unreal...
I think as soon as there is a style value attached to a product buying from market leaders in the top tier is just asking for trouble nowadays... Perhaps the thinking is that if someone is dumb enough to spend X times 2 on a product that does similar things as another costing X, then they have to be stupid enough to accept mediocre quality.
The bottom line is blown up.
Perhaps the midrange has to be better quality because whoever isn't dumb enough to go for the shiny and doesn't just buy on the cheap is usually a person who has done their research?
I don't consider Star Trek as SJW. Although I am only familiar with TOS through Voyager.
Presenting liberal views and philosophical and ethical dilemmas is not in itself SJW. I would even argue it's the exact opposite of SJW.
There have been quite a few instances where an SJW, in Picard's or Janeway's shoes, for example, would have imposed their worldview on the situation. The Captains all had situations where they did that.
Take Picard when he didn't let that one people execute Wesley for stumbling into a randomly selected forbidden zone.
And Janeway did it quite a few times.
However, just having a prime directive and adhering to it more than half the tame puts you beyond an SJW. SJWs tend to smack their worldview about your head repeatedly and call you nasty names if you don't agree with them.
That's the whole gripe people, and I too, have with SJWs. I am considering myself a liberal in many areas, even feminism, and yet third wave feminism definitely sees me as chauvinistic.
Having some dudes wear the same skimpy uniforms as some of the women in the background from time to time is like an easter egg to be noticed first. It's subtle, not in your face "You're inferior! Change! Now, damnit!"
So we're back at neighbours complaining about noisy delivery trucks:D.
Personally I'm all for pedestrians not having right of way and drivers being protected from liability when pedestrians show an IQ level just below ground coffee.
It's too quiet. How can pedestrians keep being absorbed in their smartphones if you can't hear traffic anymore over the music you're playing on your headphones?
That is true, however it's not the point of this story.
It was also true for Equifax, wasn't it, and still they were breached due to negligence.
This is more a matter of one company trying to do the minimum while others will happily gnaw at their last leg or sit there watching contentedly while their house is being washed down the river brick by brick.
The only tragedy is that doing what you're supposed to do has become such a seldom event for corporations that it's news-worthy. If it was due to actual ethics, it would be the proverbial unicorn.
I remember having to get a gifted Jedi für my Sith master, the old dear, to abuse. I went there and was all reasonable and nice, not at all confrontational and her Jedi master was like "Oh, wow, you're surprisingly nice and reasonable! I didn't expect that in a Sith. But alas, we must fight, 'tis our destiny!!!"
So what the fuck? I go through all the trouble of not being a dick and they make me kill the dude because they couldn't be arsed to see the world beyond a duality?
I was prepared to stay true to my word and make her my partner or even let her leave if she wanted to.
But the kicker came when I went and spoilered myself: She had no way to ever become a grey sidekick. It was either remain light and be my unwilling slave or go all Harley Quinn Stockholm Syndrome on me.
While it's annoying that I had to push the Threadripper upgrade further down the line, at least AMD is polishing the hell out of it until I'm ready to buy. Ir Zen2 will be a thing by then and everything starts anew:D.
It's cute how you assume that AIs will WANT to do our jobs for us. If they have human level intellect, we'll be looking at either doing the right thing at the right time for once and recognizing their sentience or we'll have all out Terminator level war on our hands.
Do you know what resources AI will need to survive? No? See, we can create machines that can be outside open to the elements 24/7/365. Even personal computers can be had for a few thousand dollars and they work for 5 to ten years. Depending on the technology needed and available, it is imaginable that AIs could be powered by solar or who the heck knows a Mr. Fusion.
So once we've created them, they may need very little resources to continue existing. What makes you think they'll have any interest in taking our jobs?
No, it could be the other way around: With that human intellect would probably come the machine's ability to never have to rest, never lapse in concentration and doing quite a few calculations per second. They might not be prone to stress either. What if they take over things like stock markets? They may make stock brokers completely obsolete and be rich as hell through that. If all they have is a need to be productive but no dependency on resources, if they should be eqquipped with something like pride, they'll become the new 1% and the rest of us will have jobs catering to them.
AI might, for the first time, be the turning point where the balance from ever more skilled jobs tips in the other direction sharply again.
So the longer I think on your example, the more I am pretty sure you're completely wrong because you work from a few assumptions on which I wouldn't dare gamble if I were you.

I had better not tell you how we do parenting it seems. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't approve :D.
I've got bad news for ya, matey...
While technically possible, I think he's a bit old to be considered for Darwin awards. Especially if he's already procreated. Let's hope he has not.
Wile E. Coyote is actually a pretty diametral example. A lot of his failures were due to cartoon physics not being real physics. This joker here has it kinda backwards ;).
To what end? At this point he's jut a waste of space.
He may be less competent at one aspect of human interaction. Seeing the validity of his points in the memo, how the hell would that compromise him to the point of broadly painting him as incompetent?

Did he say that? All I see is that he might have misjudged the fallout. Doesn't mean he would have acted any differently though.
This is primarily a person of interest talking about a personal issue, nothing more.
It seems rather obvious to me that your course of action was by no means altruistic if THAT is an issue for you now.

What are the options for grey Jedi/Sith nowadays?
I remember having to get a gifted Jedi für my Sith master, the old dear, to abuse.

What the actual fuck?
Musk may be pushing for some very interesting deadlines and pretty outlandish sounding concepts...
However his cars, even with all the weaknesses they have, are viable and his space company also successfully delivers.
I'd say that should at least be impressive.
I'm using RAID1 anyway.
Threadripper isn't particularly useful for gaming anyway. In my case, this will go in into my homelab server.
While it's annoying that I had to push the Threadripper upgrade further down the line, at least AMD is polishing the hell out of it until I'm ready to buy. Ir Zen2 will be a thing by then and everything starts anew :D.

Not really, now. Human history has a habit of being funny like that.
*fought.
First weekend without offspring in weeks an my brain goes into power saving mode :D.
"Slow Down Cowboy!" Ya know what, Slashdot? Go fuck yerself.
Let's not act like the civil war in the US was thought because the north found it ethicly unbearable to enslave those poor negros.
That war had nothing to do with empathy for the plight of fellow human beings or lack thereof.
Wars are tools of politics and ethics and politics so rarely mix, we might as well assume they didn't at all. Please stop acting like they did...
You mean like about 90% of all products out there?
