I've seen a few people shit talk discord without expanding, so I will: it's a proprietary "public space" that's not web searchable. I don't mind something like a community/subreddit oriented around a physical place, but I try to avoid supporting spaces that are owned by private capital. Of course that's nearly impossible, but there are degrees of enclosure.

Sure, thanks for highlighting that. I wasn't implying anything about the lesson we should take away, just that the article didn't seem particularly information dense, it was mostly recapping a reddit comment.

Short version: Reddit commenter says their resume system was automatically rejecting all candidates because it was looking for familiarity with the language "AngularJS" instead of "Angular".

Interesting, the algorithm brought me the same video like three weeks ago. I like it

Good point you and others make about airtightness.

For the manufacturing, I'm primarily thinking about how assisted suicide is illegal in most countries, so the ability for anyone to make it, and to make something small, may have some value versus a large, hard to transport device.

I hear you expressing a lot of pain and frustration with the way society treats people who are elderly or disabled. And you're right, the first answer shouldn't be "kill yourself". While your comment briefly mentioned the right to die, you called this method as ableist, which I think is probably an extension of that frustration rather than factual. Reading the article it seemed to me this organization is very much interested in people's well being and reducing their suffering in a holistic way.

I think this is valuable work. I like that the operator can choose a setting and see nature when they go. That said, is there a reason this couldn't be a mask instead of a chamber? Seems like that sort of separation from location is undesirable, plus it would be much simpler to manufacture.

You're right that there's too much unnecessary suffering imposed by our societal system. Still, consider that everyone's life eventually ends, and for many when that time comes it would be a blessing to choose it on their own terms.

Yeah, seems mean spirited.

Love that there's a peanut butter subreddit

I remember watching them and the conversation about them. But that's different than proof and admission that sentient alien life exists. It's one thing to suspect while also having other possible explanations (could be secret tech that we or adversary nations developed, could be sensor errors or optical illusions) and another for the president to be like "I want you to meet ambassador Xlurg"
