I can solve a 3x3 rubix cube in under 60 seconds.

Just practice and memorization, it’s not that hard.

Because something has not yet been proven to be impossible does not make that thing possible.

Speculation alone does not make a thing possible. You cannot claim that something is possible until you have demonstrated that it is indeed possible.

All things that have not been proven to be possible have a default state of being impossible until their possibility can be demonstrated.

Gibberish, absolute gibberish.

You are talking funny friend… we can NOT recreate the human brain. Maybe someday, but so far it has not been demonstrated to be possible.

You say that we can recreate the human brain because we know the human brain can exist.

The sun can exist, can we recreate the sun?

Just because intelligence exists does not mean it is possible to artificially create general intelligence… we would need some evidence that AGI is possible other than ‘makes sense to me’

Because intelligence exists, AGI similar to the human brain is possible? Your conclusion does not follow the premise.

Would there be traffic though?

Would be interesting to control for volume. How many people per 100k cars are in an accident, minor or otherwise, vs how many people per 100k riders experience and assault or some other crime. In a rough neighborhood, the bus is not safe at all.

Does AP have a left center bias because reality has a left center bias?

Or maybe a little from column A and a little from column B

If you have a whole year’s rent saved up + security and utility deposit then you have a down payment on a mortgage saved up, what would be the point in renting?

Really curious what places require this absurd 1 year up front, I have never heard of that.

We are doing fine, I wasn’t crying about anything. Read my original post which you and everyone else has failed to engage with.

Completely unrelated, most other small businesses are struggling because mega corps engage in collusion and price fixing, and also their volume allows them to take smaller margins and gives them better costs, which makes it hard for small businesses to compete.

A small business putting a sign in the window is not awful behavior, you are attacking a straw man.

Sounds like you have no idea what it’s like working retail in 2024.

Not meticulously including every minute detail is not lying. Call it a lie by omission if you want to, but you and everyone else here so far has completely missed the point.

If I knew my original point was going to be ignored and everyone was going to swoop down on this one detail which was not even relevant to the point I was making, I would have used a completely different example altogether.

I may not have been specific enough for you on my companies hiring practices, but you have completely ignored my point and everyone here picking apart the sign on the door has strawmaned my point so hard that I haven’t once yet engaged with someone on the original point.

As I said in a previous comment, I used the phrase ‘now hiring’ for brevity because the point I was making was not particularly about this method of managing the constant inflow of applicants.

After that inaccuracy proved to cause a half dozen of you to freak out, I specified the full verbiage ‘always accepting resumes, see staff for details’

I understand the difference but I didn’t foresee that being a catalyst for this detraction from the original point I was trying to make.

My intention, believe it or not, was not to stir shit. I had a point originally that had nothing to do with our now hiring, excuse me, accepting resumes sign. People here just latched on to that one detail and picked it a part without addressing my original point and the conversation went pear shaped.

It’s more so that the constant supply of people who want to work for us have a system they can follow to have a chance to get hired. We hire about 1 out of every few hundred applicants. We hired two people in the last three years and accepted hundreds of emailed resumes.

The resumes come in regardless of the sign on the door because of the high demand, hanging the sign on the door directs people to email it rather than submit a paper copy.

It also directs people to talk directly with the staff so that they can understand that it’s very unlikely we will be calling them anytime soon.

When someone has to quit, it is usually because of extenuating circumstances, someone dying or some other major life event, so we want to be prepared to not ask the employee to have to work out the two weeks notice that they always want to offer. It’s nice to say, “thanks for your hours over the years, take your last two weeks as paid vacation, we have someone ready to replace you”

This happens maybe once per year and we haven’t fired someone in maybe 5 years.

You and the rest of the people I am talking with here have no idea how a good business operates and only want to assume the worst. I agree that capitalism = bad, but there is some nuance that should be understood before shouting your uninformed opinions from the rooftops.

What lie? We tell all applicants that we aren’t actively hiring but we will reach out to the most recent resumes if/when we need someone.

There is high demand to work for us, so we have a system for all the people who keep asking for a job.

We have tried it without a sign on the door as well and we still get a ton of applicants. We just would rather people email the resumes instead of leaving a physical copy.
