@ylecun@francoisfleuret In my group at Google, the distinction was primarily marketing to applicants who wanted to work on cutting edge projects, publish, and be called a Research Scientist. In reality there was little difference as we all did cutting edge work and published.
@IAPonomarenko I've heard some ignoramuses say we need to colonize Mars because we're making Earth uninhabitable. And this takes the pressure off of not destroying Earth.
@IAPonomarenko uh, he was like that from day 1. He insisted his inauguration in 2016 was hugely attended. It was not. Even when I was a kid in NY in 70's and 80's, I could tell he was a lying skeezy salesman. Sad.
@SarahLongwell25 It was really nice to be able to keep track of goings on in a small village halfway around the world by using location search functions. Sad!
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
@McFaul Does it matter, though? Do you think Putin would be ousted? Or they'd lack resources to continue the war? North Korea handles a broken economy just fine.

@SethAbramson I can't pay no doctor bills
But whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still
While whitey's on the moon
The man just upped my rent last night
Cause whitey's on the moon.

@TheKJofTikTok@Maggyc425709341 The Tea Party didn't go anywhere? Y'all did a u-turn! There is now a 50% tax on imported tea from India! The whole reason for the existence of the Boston Tea Party was because of high tariffs on tea.
