Technically yes, but a rock is even more secure and cheaper than a computer and a programmer

What a bastardization of that post, and Scott's general views on the subject
Can someone summarize how this is a big misinterpretation or mistake?
I'm not in any way MAGA or trumpy or a culture war person [sure you are. E: one sort by controversial later and they are indeed a culture war person not a full time one but still], but I'm a long time SSC reader and I thought the post/article was about the fascinating and complete sorta morhph/takeover of the civic "ethos" or civic religion of the elite bluebloods of the USA.
From veneration of founders and founding fathers (up through Abe Lincoln, etc) as the sorta civic glue and religion that we are brought up on, to now embracing LGBTQ+ (not much emphasis on boring normal "L" and "G" [dog barks]) through parades, flags, police cars, crosswalks, holidayds, add campaigns, corporate slogans and logos, etc.
Is this not how most readers understood the article?
Hope this makes some sscers reconsider being a fan of scotts writing. (And yes there was pushback in the replies)
Weird way to say he doesn't talk to many women
I wonder when the management will figure out these rigid anti theft systems cost a lot more than they save.
On that note, think i figured out a way to get free products on the lidl checkout. There was a large amount of errors (some of which caused by me by accident). And required help a couple of times and later i realized that i had paid less than expected. Not sure if it is reproducable, as that would be stealing, or trying to get hired as a red teamer.
Shocking aye? And nobody saw this coming.
Horrifying, also it is obvious how much they dont like women. Talking to people you care about shouldn't be a chore
Imagine how mad they would get if the chatbot actually told him this. "Woke!"
I'm just sad Hardware wasn't mentioned. (Btw, for anybody who needs content warnings, that movie has a big one for the voyeur janitor).
E: prob more of a cyberpunk/sf movie anyway, even if a few people I knew who watched it were horrified
Yes, which is why i called him a softboiled egg in German. Which means something like coward (at least that is what I always learned, google translate gives 'wimp'). Unless you directly translate it to Dutch then it turns into the Dutch f-slur for gay people. Because we suck.
This was a random insults in various languages derail.
That fucking sucks, esp as you put a lot of time into it.
Also most of us speak a lot of English so it is easier to follow than for example Mandarin.
They are also concerned about t levels in athletes, and IQ comes up. Which he defends with "If you think none of these tests are actually measuring anything of value, you must need to explain why they correlate so well with life outcomes related to cognition."
I think a problem with ssc people is that they dont realize they are culture warriors.
