Except there are lots of ways to feed yourself that don't involve stealing. Sure, it is ethical to steal food if that is your only option, but if you choose to live off of stolen food, I don't think that is ethical, just like it w

This kind of thing is why I just use Pass as my password manager, I don't like having to rely on a single company for my passwords, never know when they will make breaking changes like this, or go under. With Pass, the worst case is th

You could have some minimum amount, so you have to have $100 deposited in the last week, making it prohibitively expensive to DOS, but still work for accounts you are actively using. I don't think there would be much incentive to DOS s

Maybe to avoid the issue with the user having to actively check for challenges, you can only allow challenges if the account is inactive (no deposits or withdrawals in the last x days). Then as a user, you could set up something which would

I was more referring to you saying you would skirt the issue rather than using the term disabled or handicapped. If there is an alternative word that is less offensive, of course there is no problem with using it if it means the same thing.

In my cultural bubble, handicapped and disabled are used relatively interchangeably, and I'm a native English speaker.

by GhostVII 7y ago
Avoiding discussing a particular issue simply because you don't want to refer to people as handicapped or disabled seems absurd to me. Language is a tool, and we shouldn't reduce it's effectiveness simply because we are afrai

I'm pretty sure giving everyone 1kg of gold would just devalue gold, not devalue their other possessions (unless those possessions could be made much cheaper with gold).

One of the comments on the bug has the answer: For testing purposes, there are three ways that I found to unbrick the device: 1) wipe the device with 'Find my iPhone' 2) put the device in recovery mode and update via iTunes (note

Couldn't they just run like a regular website, except be available offline? Then you could just open it up in your browser, so only one instance of Chrome/Firefox is used. Not sure how hard it would be to allow electron apps to ru

You would probably have less trees in that country actually, give that trees need carbon dioxide to grow.

If you are truly trying to reduce emissions, it is probably far more effective to buy the $150 plane ticket, and then buy $300 in carbon credits, or solar power or something like that.

But it is the customers fault, isn't it? There are lots of good reasons to fly somewhere, so I don't think it is unethical to offer flights, the problem is with customers flying unneccesarily. I think the best solution is to have

But gender has a much more significant affect on how someone acts than their height, and significantly affects what kind of relationship you could have with that person.

Except the gas that was spilling out of the pipe was never going to be recovered and used for anything else - nothing of value was being stolen. For people in extreme poverty, the money they gain from gas could significantly affect their li

That's a pretty significant part which was left out of the article. I mean it is effectively a ban right now since e-cigarettes don't have approval, but requiring FDA approval seems far more reasonable than a permanent ban.

Sounds pretty insane to me too, but I think it is valuable to let people do insane things more securely, as I don't think security concerns are generally a very big deterrent in software development (unfortunately).

More precisely, it is deaths per 100,000 people from the target group. I think the parent is interpreting it as "suicides by white people per 100,000 people in the general population", when it is actually "suicides per 100,00

That's true, it is possible that someone could be sleeping with headphones in or something, but I don't think that is common enough to justify potentially giving people hearing damage. Maybe as a compromise it could play at the cu

What part of that fact sheet contradicts something I said? The "what are some of the barriers" section actually demonstrates my point - it provides external reasons for depression and mental health issues, which only apply to mino

I feel like that is a pretty significant issue with the alert system, and could cause legitimate hearing damage. If you have headphones in, it should be assumed that you are paying attention and don't need to be woken up, and play at l

This seems like it would only make the student loan situation worse over time. Tuition is inflated because student loans are easy to get, so students are not very price-sensitive and are willing to go to expensive schools over much cheaper

The suicide rates by ethnicity are very interesting as well - white people have a significantly higher suicide rate (2x) than most other ethnicity, despite presumably facing fewer problems overall. My theory is that they can't attribut

I'm pretty sure they can ask to search your bag, and revoke your membership if you refuse, so I guess you can get away with that once.

Do you have to comply if Superstore security asks to check your bag? Seems like the only authority they really have legally is to kick you out of the store, but I don't know that much about the laws surrounding that.

I feel like interviews are more of a legal IQ test than anything else. If you are smart and spend a couple weeks grinding LeetCode, you should be able to solve most of those types of problems pretty quickly, so those types of interviews fil

Just looking at refunds is misleading regardless - withholdings changed, which affects refunds. ideally refunds would be near 0.

I was initially confused how this could work, since GitHub pages is only for static hosting, but it turns out you use it by pushing notes to your repo, and Precis acts as more of a viewer/organizer for your notes (if I am understanding
