That’s exactly what the COC is for. The community adopts rules and abides by them, break the rules and you’re out.

I don’t think they write articles/scandals on the huge amount of harassment people receive just for being a woman on the internet, or black on the internet. The reality is that (1) everyone gets harassed online (2) black people get har

The Mac girl gave a talk about how she doesn’t feel able to contribute well in tech due to people’s implicit biases and existing power systems, some people online pointed the finger at two leaders in the react community as examples of that.

The problem isn’t pseudonyms, it’s assholes. People have worse behavior with pseudonymous accounts. Part of the problem with open source, or any large project or group, is that toxic personalities can “poison” the project and reduce overall

Because the state of California gives enormous tax advantages to ultra long term landowners, they way to make money in being a landlord is to inherit property, not to buy it.

“The gold standard for democracy has always been one person one vote”: it’s much more complicated than that. At least for US legal history, the idea of “who has the right to vote” has changed significantly, from land owning white males to c

To be fair, the primary cause of the decimation of Louisiana is it’s state government. I would also add that the resources of the country belong to all of us, not just those who live in close proximity (aka the same state).

I dunno, FB does a pretty good job keeping ISIS recruitment and child porn off its products and I don’t see them getting harangued for that.

Are you a battery engineer? My understanding is the EoL for Li Ion batteries is when they are at 80%. Below that, their internal resistance is too great to do anything useful with.

That’s the trope, but in reality, the less well off take the bus in, and the drivers for the most part could live in the city if they decided they didn’t want a yard or a parking spot. Taking road space from cars and giving it to busses&#x2

“How do people do XYZ without cars” seems like a trivial question to those who live without cars.

The Acela corridor in the north east US connects DC, Philly, NYC, and Boston. Many trains run per day and most of them are full capacity. The Acela corridor revenues support the entire other ~Amtrak routes. Most cities along the Acela have

At least in the US, I feel a “better balance” would mean extreme missing middle housing production in the most productive cities so that the difference in the cost of housing between cities and rural areas would decline. I’d also be support

I understand the sentiment but have no idea how this could be carried out. What happens to gift cards? What happens to in game digital currencies, what happens to ad accounts, what happens to AWS credits.

I work at a FAANG company and median TC for senior engineers (5+ years exp) is around 350k. If you can make staff (prob 1 in 4 L5 eng make it to staff) then you’re at 400 - 600k TC. The weird issue with medicine is that the top doctors usua

These comparisons are too coarse. I make more money as a line level eng in big tech than my wife who is a surgeon at a well respected hospital with a hoity toity pedigree. I have always made more than her, my path has caused me to incur muc

Counterpoint: higher property taxes force property valuations to be based closer to the “current use” value (ex, what is the value of this house based on its use as a place where someone lives), lower property taxes allow property valuation

Population doesn’t tell the story WRT lifestyle preferences, vacancy rates and prices do, and both indicate that millennials prefer urban living.

I somewhat agree, somewhat disagree. IMO the largest value I get from unit tests is the confidence that I can make changes and understand what breaks. Refactoring w/o unit tests makes me feel like I am flying blind

Not who you are replying to, but in general I would say that the things you point (extra help women receive right now) are in general working, and that the fact that they are working is supports the fact that they should continue. This does

IMO complaints like this, and modern feminism aren’t about “men are bad” they’re about s lack of power that women have relative to men in the existing system, which leads to an inability to determine their futures and live free.

an extra 12k usd/year goes a long way to FIRE status. Both uber and barista routes seem viable for this.

Do you have any evidence to back this up? My sources say that this is a long held artifact of the shinto belief system and culture. This is a clumsy way to state this but they essentially that houses accumulate spirits over time and become

5g can support orders of magnitude more devices in a network cell. Have you ever been to a crowded outdoor area and had full data signal but no ability to complete any requests? It’s because the local network cell is oversubscribed so no ne

Ranches and feed lots are different. In the US, cows are raised on ranches until 6 months before slaughter, where they are brought to a feed lot, fattened up in crowded conditions, then slaughtered

There are orders of magnitude more uber drivers now than there were taxi drivers ten or twenty years ago. The point isn’t that these jobs didn’t exist or were replaced 1:1, the point is that there is a super steep demand curve in these serv

Strong disagree. Urban aggregation is a global phenomenon in modern times, literally every country is seeing a rise of “mega cities”. It’s because workers are choosing to move to these cities as these cities have more opportunities for work

Owning things also brings liabilities. Hit a pothole and pop a car tire -> 250 dollars down the drain. Own a house and roof starts leaking? -> 10k dollars down the drain. There are certainly a huge class of people for which owning a c
