You could say the same thing about most violence in movies though. Tonnes of popular action movies have the main character casually shooting dozens of people, and portray it in a positive light (ex. John Wick). I don't think it is nece

I used to think that but then I realized that you would also have some parts of the world where the date switches over in the middle of the day. I mean it is certainly odd that different parts of the world are on a different day than other

Sounds like some unionized grad students decided to go on strike on their own, without the unions approval. Firing doesn't seem unreasonable to me in that case, and it certainly isn't "union busting" as Bernie Sanders sa

Seems like a pretty strong overreaction. The flu leads to about half a million hospitalizations in the US each year, while COVID-19 has lead to dozens. So your team is thousands of times more likely to transmit the flu then COVID-19 - even

Probably overreacting. There is a much greater chance of you dying on your commute than catching the virus if you are in the US, so the virus has not significantly increased your chances of death. And if you are worried about being a carrie

Yes, you should be prepared for things like pandemics, because it is not that difficult to have a small amount of preparation. But if you are not in China, you have no reason to prepare for coronavirus specifically. Saying things like &quot

Firefox, because it starts up fast, allows me to customize it to fit my system color scheme, and lets me set up autohide for the toolbar. I open and close my browser constantly so startup time is more important than how fast it is when runn

I think Canada is losing far more people to the US than the other way around, at least at the higher end of the market. Canadian salaries just aren't competitive at that level.

Another benefit is that you are essentially trading on margin when buying a house, which you couldn't do to the same degree with other assets.

Doesn't seem like a super profitable thing to do. The washer estimated that he washed 1.5 million in change over 20 years. Paying someone 3 days a week over 20 years is a pretty significantly portion of that, although it doesn't s

I don't think that is a bad idea, I think that is a great idea in most cases. I think it is a bad idea to legally enforce it and make companies go through the government when they want to introduce an improved type of connector. In the

I can't believe this legislation is actually being seriously considered, why would you want the government forcing you to have a certain port on your phone. By all means have regulations for things like electrical outlets and radio fre

I think that section makes good points about hierarchies between more and less senior people, and between people with a CS degree and people without, but yea I think it is unnecessary to single out white men and imply that they are more lik

Reversing the charges through the bank is a bold move given that Tesla has essentially complete control over your car, and the supercharger stations.

On my Android I've turned off everything in the emergency alerts section but they still go through. I think that you aren't able to disable presidential alerts on Android, which happens to be the only alert level Ontario uses.

Even if it was not a mistake, why would they send a presedential alert to the entire province just to tell them that people 10km away from the nuclear plant are in no danger? Pretty absurd, wish I could fully disable these alerts until the

What actual evidence do you have that he was murdered? I think it is much more likely that someone who was going to be in prison for the rest of his life, and who previously attempted suicide, killed himself rather than being murdered by so

Why is it not a great direction? I think if we can keep human population under 10 billion by reducing the birth rate it is probably best for everyone. And immigration rates are fairly high relative to what they have been historically (highe

I don't think it is obvious that he is wrong. Previously the property had a parking lot, where people could pay to park and then go to the beach. This parking lot was not profitable, so he decided to close it down. There is still publi

He isn't a vlogger, not sure why it was reported that way. He had a vlog series like a year or two ago for a week.

They don't have to match what it would be sold for wholesale though, just need to match the marginal cost. A graphics card that can run a AAA game is less than $500, so I don't think they are losing much on $9.99 a month. That&#x2

When I see people using the "sandwich" method on me it is usually pretty clear that the only reason they are giving compliments is just to soften their criticisms, so I would rather just get the criticisms on their own. Not every

The courses I took were the same that anyone getting a major in that field would take, and I was required to take them beyond just an introductory level.

At my school I was required to take many courses on broader topics. Personally I didn't like it, I took as many CS courses as I was allowed.

I think they are just fingerprinting the video and audio. They shouldn't have access to the actual file that is being played if you are just connecting the TV to the raspberry pi. I think I saw another thread where someone from Roku co

Sure, but a manufacturer couldn't sell a car with a solid steel bumper. In the US you have lots of freedom to modify your car after you buy it, but manufacturers have strict regulations.

I wonder what it will look like when it is actually produced, doubt it passes US standards in it's current form. Needs some mirrors at the very least, although maybe at the time of release cameras will be a legal replacement.

As I said in my first comment, a recovery numbers turns it from 2FA into single factor. Obviously that is less secure, since a phone number is generally less secure than a password. I'm talking about true 2FA over SMS.

I think it's fine because in order for someone to hack me if I have true 2FA authentication with SMS, they would both have to both get my password, and do some kind of social engineering attack to get access to my messages. If you have
