Yes, many corporations do both internal research and development as well as research as a service. This obviously seems to include Microsoft and Google.

I wouldn’t says it’s junk science, whole cloth. But it is focused on making a profit. Which does differentiate it some with say university research.

Yeah but that was before and after he committed to invading Mexico, Colombia and Greenland so he’s running out of little plastic men to move around his map

The Google search AI has been giving me like the obvious solutions. Like the three things I tried tne minutes ago before I googled it. I already checked the menu and couldn’t find the setting or I wouldn’t be trying to get help online. And then the next seven search results are videos that don’t quite match my search. And the finally somewhere I find some promising leads on some message board that would have been the top result 6 years ago.

Sugar is less soluble than salt. Touch some salt to your tongue and it dissolves very well and rapidly. Touch some sugar to your tongue and the process is slow. That’s why us Americans love soda and corn syrup. Also why that thin flaky salt is so great.

There are parts of the United States, where I am from, where the English is almost unintelligible to me. Also, I have only been to England once, for a layover that would last 24 hours. I could barely understand any of the white service workers, however the Indian service workers? I could understand them very very well.

If I learned anything playing Risk, is that you are fucked if you are in the lead… And especially fucked if you go on an offensive.

Her popularity could conceivably tank.

I’ll buy a TV station and have it only run the Terminator franchise. All day. Everyday.

Call the police and fbi immediately

They’d say “you have microwaves and cars. Just keep laboring. Things are great for you”

Lol jk

Obvi

The trillion dollar problem is paying billions of pesky workers to work

Her Garmin: today’s suggestion, rest

You’d better ask her if she’s a cop. Wouldn’t want the internet to find out you have a fetish for the pigs.

Step one, have the best meal of your life *so far *

(sad story, I know, but oddly similar to the story out of Barcelona this week…)

It’s also the FIXED portion. Everyone has seen people est and enjoy some times of red cherries. Yet, presumably, if you got new data showing drivers do actually pay attention and being a pedestrian was relatively safe you would adjust your beliefs.

A belief based on unbiased data (“being a pedestrian where I live is dangerous and this may be due to a lack of awareness by drivers”) is not the same as an unfounded, fixed belief based on no data, unrepresentative data, or data that does not reflect the root cause.

Sorry, I don’t think “driver” is a “type” of person for this purpose.

Maybe if you decided drivers are foolishly for being drivers and therefore in a different arena, say gambling, can easily be buffed against. “Drivers are risk takers and therefore it makes sense to bluff against them in poker”. That’s a stereotype.

To say drivers, while they are driving, don’t look cautiously enough, or whatever, you are simply making a statement about drivers. Not about drivers in a different context. Not about a type of person who in the situation is a driver… I don’t think it’s a stereotype. You’d either have to be unjustly discriminating against a type of driver or judging drivers in a context outside of driving.

From Oxford:

a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

Is a driver a type of person? Maybe. I think it’s generally prudent to be cautious as a pedestrian, regardless of the rationalization or mnemonic. I don’t think assuming drivers don’t see pedestrians is a stereotype. Maybe it is.

Fixed and oversimplified seems to be doing a lot of work here. “Don’t eat red berries, many red berries signify poison”. That’s an oversimplified idea.

“Asians are good at math”. An example of a positive stereotype, which are also corrosive to the people they are applied to.

a woman driver probably doesn’t see pedestrians

A negative stereotype that makes you sound sexist but also probably makes you more cautious as a pedestrian, but not as cautious as assuming any given driver could end your life.

Tldr: do you know what a stereotype is?
