Also no one was going to blame Amazon for inflation. There are still people in the US who are under the impression that the only reason they would be paying any part of the tariffs is due to corporate greed instead of that just being how tariffs work.
I feel like its easy for "Trust, but verify" to degrade into "Verify, then trust". It's that initial step of distrust while verifying that starts to sour things.
Also probably includes all the times my company has made me change my password. It always takes a good week before I remember that my old password isn't the one anymore.
Sure, but the question isn't about which statement is possible from the liar's statement, it's about which statement we can conclude from the liar's statement.
The liar could be lying because they have no hats. They could be lying because they have a non-green hat. We cannot conclude E because it's possible that E is not correct.
Or how when you look for something it always ends up in the last place you look, if it weren't there would have been some number of places you looked that were completely unnecessary.
>I wonder if this was supposed to be Nine Angels. Copy editing on the web is so sloppy that I'm going to assume so because it makes more sense (to me).
I'm going to assume that wired got it right and it's the neo-nazis that misspelled it; it's much funnier that way.
I'd add Chants of Sennaar to this list. It's similar to Case of the Golden Idol/Obra Dinn in that the entire game is about making deductions about the game world, but in this case it's about decoding fantasy languages.
I've never understood this argument. Caregivers are paid; it's a job. No one is forced to go into elderly care.
Having kids isn't even a guarantee that they'll be around to care for you in your old age. My grandparents had four and still needed to be moved to a home with a full time carer at the end because none of their kids were able to move back home to take care of them.
This is the kind of statement that the Appeal to Authority fallacy was made for. Just because someone is an expert in one field doesn't mean their opinions matter in every field.
It's also a weird assertion because you also have to wait around for takeout/delivery. You could also just cook at home, which usually ends up taking just as long and takes actual effort instead of just sitting around which, in theory, would build even more resilience.
To tie in the sibling threads: devices that underreport will also be popular, just with the insurance companies after the fact to help them deny covering procedures. Your lung biopsy come back benign? CignaAI says you shouldn't have had it in the first place so out of pocket for you!
I know it's more complicated than this, but whenever I see businesses complaining about how including all the fees upfront will harm their business I can't help but read it as "Our business wouldn't be viable without the ability to lie to our customers."
Mass surveillance involves giving the government, an inherently political entity, and its partners in the private sector increased power over public life. It's hard to get a more political issue than that.
