I'll admit that I'm not at all familiar with legal obligations to medical conditions for employers. However, anyone dealing with a "crisis", and also more explicitly a "mental health crisis", should not be puni

I think you'd benefit by looking into the difference between "equality" and "equity".

Honestly curious, what are these "personal obligations" that are similar to educating and entertaining children during their waking hours in dual-career homes after childcare and in-person school went poof? What I'm seeing ov

I have no goal in undermining your point; it has only raised a curiosity for me. Overall your point is strong with your second bullet, it's just the first bullet I want to discuss without detracting from. 109 generals sounds like a lar

I like more divisions. I'm sure it fails large subsets of the population, but for many of us time is told to us by an always internet-connected device. NOBODY claims to be 3 minutes late because their watch was off anymore - we all see

Lol. This a pointless comment to the people interested, but I'm so amused with my stupidity I had to share. I opened this thread with absolutely no thought about the _game_ Go, and read the top comment about how chess changed in the la

I'm confused. Standard time is already the time in winter, so abandoning ST won't change anything about the middle of winter.... That said, I agree with an above comment to just be DT year round. I _do_ hate afternoons/evenin

I think GenX didn't believe in marketing themselves. The concept makes this X-er chuckle quietly.

Even lower effort/risk - make a comment in response to a wrong-headed comment from another commenter that hasn't read the citation. All you have to know is that their comment is wrong, whether or not it has any relation to the new

I doubt your sincerity. This is obviously different from the seasonal flu. However, I do want to address the young and increased social isolation and mental illness. Took my toddler for an annual checkup recently and asked about all this as

I think you're good. Gamestop was never on the high end of the integrity debate. "oh you have a game that was $60 12 months ago? Here's $2 and I'll put that on the shelf for $57"

No we don't, but I also have a really hard time finding physicians and dentists that I like and trust. It's not about getting work for free, it's about trust.

That's absurd. I left FB for the very reason that people weren't sharing the real details of their lives. At all. Most were post-less creepers. Many just posted links to media sites. Some posted in-crowd updates that didn't m

Agreed. Which is actually an upside to an automated, but imperfect solution as reinforcement. I've just been generally surprised at how often I see an ML solution implemented the complaint is "it isn't perfect", when per

I think what people fail to recognize is that AI/ML solutions will _always_ be imperfect. But, they scale. There's always a threshold for the accuracy/efficiency point. It's not meaningful to identify errors, even if the

I think that in the new era of homeschooling, of tracking new information, etc, that we all find our inboxes a bit inundated. I think it's fair that a high-strung, anxiety-ridden student that's missing their senior year memories m

You do get paid but quite little. I still took on debt during my physics PhD for lifestyle reasons (my significant other was 2k miles away, so flights were prioritized over savings). I went to graduate school early 2000s. 6 years, average s

To clarify, you're calling for a full ban on private label goods? I would think 'brands' like Kirkland are a net good for the consumer.

My years in cleanrooms and a postdoc in a shared appointment in biochemistry have taught me to see gloves as contamination distributors. It's literally not okay to be wearing gloves in a chemistry/biochemistry building when you pu

I thought that having a landline only increased exposure to spam and robocalls. How do you filter so your phone rings only from people you'd want to talk to?

Adding 'need' criteria is likely to add bloat, expense, and hoops that people who _do_ need it will not always be able to jump through. Better to create an emergency benefit with as little bureaucracy and paperwork as possible, ev

I'm not doing the math, but I do recall that time on those phones was _very_ expensive. Dollars per minute. And, in those days if you didn't press the 'end' button to terminate the call, regardless of the other party han

I was in a bookstore in Brooklyn that didn't have contactless when I asked, and the cashier said, "we're a bookstore, we don't have that sort of thing". I replied, "I paid for a bottle of water in a vending mac

I don't think it's that bad a cash-burn. That's less than $100k per month for a team of 8. Even full remote, salaries and overhead don't seem recklessly out of alignment.

I work with credit card data, and I'm always astounded at how much ambiguity the banks allow. We see major brands redact what's in the transaction description to the point where it may only say the street intersection of the trans

I suspect the Fitbit acquisition is more to have a product that competes with Apple's and Samsung's smartwatch offerings. At this point it seems like having a watch that integrates with your phone offerings is table stakes, and I

Why didn't your school bus have a stop sign deployed? Those are for exactly this risk. Running a school bus stop sign I believe is a more significant violation than running post-stop signs.

We see the lender, not explicitly what was purchased. But, when you visit the lender's website you can see the pitch. See the pitch for the already mentioned Affirm: https://www.affirm.com/

I would really like that page to show a static picture of the final device instead of making me watch the video for glances of it.
