I mean that's not a forced cost, that's a cost you've chosen to burden yourself with. I've done WFH in a rented room before and I made it work. It wasn't a life of luxury but I didn't feel particularly cramped.

You'd still have a home and the associated costs if you didn't have to work from home. Utilities might be a bit higher with you home all the time but otherwise those are static costs.

I'm pretty sure NYC has a population of like 7 or 8 million, about a third of Australias.

That'll be a difficult adaptation for potential users to make. I think most of us have been conditioned to phrase our queries a certain way to achieve the best results from Google. Then again maybe that's just me.

I suggest looking into authorization (not to be confused with authentication. Most auth (authentication) providers also provide a authorization framework you can integrate with. The implementation details will vary wildly depending upon you

I truly believe that this is the root cause of the ever increasing division amongst Americans today. I think it's been at play for years and we're just approaching it's crescendo.

Scam calls are also quite prolific, and the executives at big mobile companies are aware of this fact, that doesn't make them criminals. By your logic, virtually every single business owner on the planet would be guilty of whatever you

Question for anyone who's had to onboard/train Jr's in a 100% remote environment, what's worked for you? How do you maximize their chances of success? What are some common pain points? This has been an issue at my org an

I don't disagree that it's more difficult for some people than for others, but ultimately it's as simple as calories in < calories out. Multivitamins are cheap, rice and beans are cheap, frozen veggies are (usually) cheap.

We also prefer beef because that much corn consumption would be incredibly unhealthy. People like to shit on animal farms and say that more calories could be grown with less resources with plants. That's true, but the calorie count isn

I wish people qould stop conflating "racism" with negative actions impacting low-income communities. Yes, minorities are proportionally more likely to be in low-income communities, but the actions taken to harm these low-income co

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050060/ I didn't blame porn alone, but I said I wouldn't discount it's contribution to the issue as GP did. I agree it's a complex issue.

The established fact is that porn addiction utilizes the same nuerological pathways as substance addiction. I said nothing of the outcomes, though I wouldn't be so sure. We don't have any data on the outcomes of porn addiction. I

Almost every single drug addict and alcoholic has an emotional basis for their addiction. Be it childhood trauma, a predisposition to anxiety/depression, etc. The fact that these reasons exist doesn't make the addiction any less o

I understand what you're trying to convey and I'm sorry but it's just not true. Brain scans show the pathways for porn addiction are very similar to those found in cocain and amphetamine addicts. Perhaps this is true for you,

Yeah fair enough, I'd agree with that assessment and I think that definition of "full stack dev" makes it a much more attainable target.

I'm not so sure. The average age someone is the first time they watch porn is 11, well before some of the issues you mentioned would manifest. When a porn addiction is developed before you hit your teens it's hard to blame a dysfu

I think that all the things you listed are definitely culprits, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount porn. Anecdotally, I myself and many otherwise healthy, sociable young men I know have pretty serious porn addictions. I really wish
