That all kinda falls apart when you change the rest of rules to treat corporations like people, though, which was the point of the 14th Amendment.

I think the real question in this scenario is "could this have been an email?" Video meetings are disastrously unproductive in my experience. I have no problem with remote workers doing their thing, but being on the production and

I think it depends on the industry. For example, I work in manufacturing and we have a sales team that is in the office once a week, if we are lucky. The disconnect in communication between sales, management (who is also mostly remote) and

Very interesting to think about, considering my anxiety tends to push me in the opposite direction, so I favore less crowded spaces or less physical closeness to other people. The acoustic component is worth diving into, to me, since this i

This is super interesting and nice to understand a phenomenon I have experienced, so thank you. I have to admit that I thought the article was going to be about a different psychological quirk that I have noticed; the one where, for reasons

For those looking to try their hand at building an OS, there's Linux From Scratch. https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ I failed tremendously, but I had a lot of incorrect ideas about what makes an operating system go. Th

I do this, though using a different term for the station. Mine is called a "key catch" since I also plop my wallet, keys and the rest of my EDC on this shelf that is also fitted to charge my phone. My trouble is that it's not

If I'm hacking something I own, it's also highly likely that I am capable of fixing it and doing any needed maintenance. Part of the hacker mindset is not letting the fear of voiding a warranty stop you from truly owning the produ

I do this as well, more or less inspired by a lot of Dwarf Fortress back in the day. I use Wonderdraft to make the map, then spend the rest of my time building a history that took place long before the chronological point in whatever short

At the point where laws are enacted the protect the user and their respective data, as well as punishment for breaking said laws is more than just a monetary fine. We can have the protective laws all day, but fines are basically just a lice

Can confirm; for some reason I keep getting pulled in to product development at my company because my opinion is somehow valuable. For context, the rest of these attendees are all engineers. I'm just a wrench. I don't think I&#x27

You think it's strange, but many of our countrymen do not. That should tell you what they're about. If you want to see the true face of a nation, watch how those with even the smallest amount of power exploit others.

That they do this to unprotected populations is proof positive that if labor laws did not exist, employers would happily pay all us less and work us more.

There are quite a few! On Android, you can grab the TextTV app (may also be on iOS) and get feeds that are still operating. I used it while in Iceland (RÚV) to correlate some weather data, and Germany seems to have quite a few feeds. I orig

What's scary about this question is the lack of regard to safety in most US manufacturing facilities that employ lasers. Union shops tend to be up to par with safety standards, but if you go to the smaller shops, laser cutting and engr

You can try the game without logging in. The writing reads like tolerable fanfiction, so it's not stellar, but cringe moments and needless cussing are still present to some degree. As someone who used to write room descriptions on MUDs

Seconded. I was a moderator for a subreddit with 120k readers. If you want to see what the outer limits of your rules are, enforce them as written and the community will be more than happy to show you. It's much better to be flexible a

I'm pretty happy with Linode after migrating from DO as well. Their billing seems a bit more on top of things, noticing situations where they owed me a small credit that I would have likely missed. I've been a customer since befor

Slippery marketing plays a big part in this, so I can't blame kids for thinking that. I remember the commercials for these toys and there was an implication that dialogue was possible (specifically remember a commercial where kids are

I'm surprised it only took them a year. Would you care to share more about your experience on filing FOIA? The circles I run in seem to view it as a clunky, bloated process, but I feel like it has gotten better than when it was introdu

Many think otherwise and will pay a lot of money to make that true.

You imagine correctly. I cruise open directories regularly, usually looking for books to add to my growing collection (note: books I will actually read/use), generally taking only 2 or 3 books with me when I leave the site. At least on

Intentional Obfuscation is difficult to convey to people who, for example, make enough money to hire someone to do their taxes for them.

This is an interesting take that I hadn't considered the reality of, before. We rely a lot on self-reporting but only for lack of a better option that doesn't violate ethical conventions. Self-reporting is subjective, making the d

Is there an opposite to monoropism? To use your "take a walk" example, when I take a walk I end up mentally and emotionally exhausted, having been hyperaware of too much data during my walk. Examples would be the sounds of traffic

Yep, that's the common reaction. Do you also feel like there is a presence in the room with you? Many experience that as well, or see shadow creature(s). This is likely what caused early documenters of the phenomenon to believe that a

I had a similar experience with sleep paralysis, although may have went a few steps further. Not only did I manage to replace my fear with curiosity about it and compile a file folder of info about sleep paralysis and hypnogogic states (all
