Currently if someone posts here (or in similar forums elsewhere) there is a convention that they should disclose if they comment on a story related to where they work. It would be nice if the same convention existed for anyone who had more

He always had dubious takes (he was anti-evolution for as long as I can remember) but that doesn't make Dilbert any less good.

From personal experience alone these drugs feel fairly easy to start and stop taking. So taking them every third or fourth month (or similar) would seem like a straight-forward option, unless I'm missing something.

While I'm happy to believe any/all of that might be true, accepting unsubstantiated stories like this isn't a great idea. You really need to start with the assumption that all stories like this are fake until some kind of evi

When people say "western" they often don't mean "western hemisphere" but the "first world". So Peru wouldn't be "western" by this definition but Australia might be.

I think the key thing (which we used to understand but seem to have forgotten) is that restrictions (including censorship) should be based on conduct, not opinion. Someone spamming commercial links, crap flooding, posting child pornography,

Those percentages are of total TV hours, which isn't quite what I was talking about. Still though if you include YouTube (I personally wouldn't as I don't think they're providing a directly comparable product) they'

The legal definition of monopoly in some jurisdictions means anyone with a large enough of a market share able to influence pricing, etc in a market. A market share as low as 25% can be called a monopoly. Does HBO+Netflix have a 25% share o

I'm sure there will be negative side effects but the main outcome of these drugs is that you eat less. Many of us have trained ourselves to eat at a frequency and volume way beyond what is really required to keep our body functioning.

Dementia seems a pretty awful outcome too. I hope my heart gives out before my brain.

While I'm sure this is criminal behaviour it seems debatable that this dude is a danger to the public. But there may be more to it I guess.

Because Google provides (or used to provide) a fast consistent interface for a lot of basic queries. Sure, if I'm researching etymology in depth then I'll go to a specialist site, but 90%+ of the time I'm just double checking

Every person I know who tried to give up smoking has the same story - they were successful for a while and then they encountered some stressful moment (exam, work deadline, etc) and they fell off the wagon. One explanation could simply be t

I get on many buses and 90% of the time the message is played about "Evening out the service" it's because the drivers shift is about to end and he/she doesn't want to wait at the driver changeover stop too long.

Certainly with buses people have been burned where they are told that another bus will be along in 2 minutes only for that to evaporate and the next bus actually takes 15+ minutes. If that happens to you then you'll squeeze onto the fi

These signs (if phrased in this way) are slightly misleading. I doubt anyone is ever prosecuted for just being insulting. What happens is you'll be asked to leave if you're aggressively rude and if you refuse to leave then eventua

This matches my experience, with email in particular every organisation I've worked for it's been normalised that it's OK to not read every email, particularly if it's long or detailed. Clearly if the CEO emails you alon

I agree. I've often thought about this via a thought experiment : How much money would it take for you to agree not to consume any new instance of a particular media type? In other words, you're offered fifty thousand dollars (or
