Just want to call out your 2% of the population claim. While maybe it is, 'technically correct', it gives a false impression. Slaves were counted among the population, thus skewing the number. Also, wives/women would not be c

I agree with this. When management think in money only, that's a good sign for me to leave. If they think that happy employees are just magically happy, and don't care about making employees happy, that is just ignorance. Don'

I’ve noticed this with alcohol. 1 or 2 drinks will create/intensify the pain. But a couple more will put it down. It’s curbed my drinking since I rarely want to get drunk.

I'm going to play devils advocate here. We already know that the observer effect is real. We have no idea on what level the spiritual world is in. I would find it logical, that if we ever do discover that this paranormal realm we can t

Interesting article. I think that, without deeper insights into machine learning it will be very difficult to make it better. At best, like the article says, we can guess why it made its decision. But we really don't know for sure. It

I'd have to agree. I was looking for where he talked about reviewing the restaurants and I didn't see it. He even says he gives away some of the free meals to friends and family, so I doubt he forces them to do the review either.

I would think it’s not all the same, and point out asbestos has very bad side effects. So I too would rather breathe paper than other things. Ideally just air though.

It would be shocking and the first time ever if the sales pitch of a product was completely made up and false. And the product turned out to be worse than the current solution in place. /s

I wouldn't recommend this. If you do use lead soldering, make sure you don't breathe in any fumes.

Downtime is important. If there is something on the computer you would like to do but can't, because you feel you should always be working or improving skills, then that is a problem. But if there is nothing else you'd want to be

I would think, the US or practically any other country would have a huge incentive to be able to blame China for this entire mess. And those incentives would far outweigh having to move a few labs. Plus, "It's China's bad pra

This only applies to banking and email passwords. And most last over a year. I don't have a schedule, just one morning I wake up and go, 'oh yea, I've been using that password since 2019...'.

I update my passwords from time to time. I don't trust the organizations will always say if there is breach, know there is a breach, or actually know how far and wide a breach went.

Article feels like a bait and switch. They pose the question, ask if WIFI is any different. Never tries to answer the question and instead dives in WFH and compensation. Strangely they pose questions, but never answer any.

But this is great right? What you just wrote? I'm confused now. Is this what you wanted me to say? This is why I point you to research books or articles. Or even follow actual politicians on what work they are doing. I'm not going

There is a lot of information out there on this topic. But I will try to summarize my understanding of what goes on in the USA. There is institutional racism in our system. These are laws from long ago, that stick around due to inertia. The

Yes. And crime and poverty is related. Also, when more crime occur, police tend to congregate. So if police are pulling people over for minor traffic violations, and then discovering drugs, the 'crime' rate goes up. This then exac

To me bad faith is also just lying. You lie about your motives and intentions. You lie about the other's sides motives and intentions. Bad faith actors also prop up a lot of straw men in order to tear them down, but disengage or put wo

I'm getting the impression that since the author overstates his case, by using a quote by Hobbes, his entire point is invalid. Therefor, millennials must accept their fate. And the fact that their lives will be worse than previous gene

Going to add to this. A jury of ones 'peers' is rarely the case either. Yes, they are citizens, but they are rarely of the same background, ethnicity, or social status. They are hand selected by lawyers to remove people that might

It's easier to tear something down than to build something. This is why people write articles like this. They acknowledge the problem, claim to be on the 'correct' side of the issue and do nothing! It's not their fault
