>harmful Need a citation here. I've read the literature and the current consensus (as far as I'm aware) is "we don't know what the harms are". There is a study which suggest that nicotine may increase cancer ri

"Dude", you obviously just don't want your incomplete world view challenged. Details matter here. Yes, Flint MI has a drinking water problem and it's deplorable. That doesn't generalize to the rest of the nation. He

You're making an incorrect generalization about a large country by misleadingly citing isolated examples which seem to support your point once you realize that you can't back your initial argument up in a meaningful way. You may a

I imagine it's intended for any use case in which you want to communicate with people outside your company via slack, but don't want to invite them into your org. I was responding to these comments: >You customers are feeling l

No, don't use a instant messaging tool like an answering machine. You set the expectations when you open up slack as a support avenue.

A few comments up I admitted that I'm torn on how he was ousted as well because I, like you, am not a fan of outrage culture and exiling people who make a remark someone else may find offensive. That said, I don't think it's

17 with parental consent, but don't be dense; it's the conditions under which these girls are being passed around that is so abhorrent to most people. Stallman should have just kept his mouth shut on this one, and I don't bel

There is when children are forced into it due to circumstance, coersion, or force. This subject at hand has nothing to do with an adult making a conscious choice.

Reading through the comments I'm honestly a bit torn on the outcome for Stallman. Like most here, I think we are too quick to exile people for off color remarks. On the other hand, this isn't the first time Stallman has done somet

Yep, just a normal, level headed 17 year old girl looking to make a quick buck by sleeping with old, rich men. What 17 year old wouldn't love such a life? I'm with you on prostitution in general , but Epstein was a sleazebag and

>As long of course as no one is coerced into anything In what insane hypothetical does a 17 year old girl have consensual sex with a 74 year old man on a billionaire's island? At best it's prostitution, c'mon.

Without those evil coprorations your union members are out of a job, so yes, we should probably at least consider that there are two sides to this.

Care to explain your reasoning? What you're saying doesn't make any sense on its face.

Your point is that because Amazon is sells more stuff than AliExpress we should stay in a bad deal? Not sure I get that point.
530.
by EpicEng 7y ago
It's not about having a huge impact on trade volumes. It will have an impact on small stuff and drop shipping. Why should we stay in a bad deal that was made fifty years ago when circumstances were completely different?
531.
by EpicEng 7y ago
That is just absolutely not true. First, go ahead and read the article. Next, order a few $1 items from AliExpress.
532.
by EpicEng 7y ago
Well, at a minimum it makes goods from China more expensive and drop shipping from China no longer makes sense for many products. If you aren't getting those products from China, they'll come from somewhere else.

C isn't in the critical path of either of those two implementations. GP is saying that it would be in a Swift version. Whether or not that's accurate I have no idea.

But these clients have already expressed a desire to invest in startups. If your idea of working in their best interest is to "not invest in startups" then you shouldn't take the capital (and fee$) in the first place.

A brief glance at history would seem to say otherwise. Uneducated masses are easy to control. It 'doesn't want to die' because it shouldn't. It's a vast improvement over how people loved their lives for the majority

> A CS degree and programming bootcamps aren't mutually exclusive Of course not, and the GP never said that they were, but bootcamps are often marketed as an alternative to a CS degree.
