I'm not a particularly well educated person and I could still clearly see that Damore was talking about preferences not abilities (he explicitly said it in the memo if I remember correctly). Seems more like the degree educated people a

There are lots of unofficial clients that work quite well. Drive is pretty good, if you like manually pushing and pulling files, which I actually find kind of nice https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

I'm pretty sure almost all fighter jets are like that - the more unstable it is the more responsive it is when turning, since responsiveness and stability are kind of opposites when it comes to aerodynamics.

> Anyone should strive to have as accurate colors as possible Why is that? I like to have my monitors with a bit of a warmer colour balance, since it is nicer on my eyes, and I have no need for 100% colour reproduction. I think that ever

Proof of work is the same, except instead of rich people buying more Etherium to get rich faster, they buy more mining hardware.

I don't think that iOS/android devices are spying on us, but I also don't think the Amazon echo is either. In both cases you are trusting a large company to not record you - in one case you trust apple/google to deactiva

The drop in women in computer science seems to follow the rise of home computers in the 1980s, which, as far as I know, were more popular among men/boys.

I suspect that it is mostly the leadership of a few large companies has become more far-left, and the beliefs of the employees at those companies hasn't changed much, people just don't want to express their beliefs if they don&#x2

I think the author mentioned this elseware, but he wasn't suggesting to use .md for complicated documents, just for notes and simpler documents where you don't need the extra options like complex table formatting, you just want so

I think it is worth the extra complexity to avoid having to write \section and \emph all the time, and to make your notes more readable as a .TXT files. Also I find it easier to just set up a basic document, for markdown you can just open a

The text is rendered with CSS, so you should be able to specify whatever rendering style you want using something like Pandoc.

I would still consider them carbon neutral, if the kiosks want to be carbon neutral that is their responsibility. By your logic essentially no service or company can be carbon neutral because their customers are not.

Men and women are very different physically, men are almost always going to be significantly stronger. We do not have the same amount of difference between people from different countries. The average man is much stronger than the average w

A verbal contract still counts as a contract though, so if the property owner had a verbal agreement that the artwork would not be destroyed, and he violated that agreement, I think it makes sense that he is liable for the damages. Seems so

Which has collapsed more in the last month or two, Bitcoin, or the stock market?

by GhostVII 9y ago
Bitcoin cannot replace banks, even at full adoption we would need banks for loans, investments, financial planning, etc. Bitcoin could replace Visa, but it uses orders of magnitude more energy per transaction. So yes, it is an environmental

If you look at career earnings for those with just a high school degree compared to those with a 4 year degree, I think it is pretty clear that college does pay off if you pick a decent degree.

I find vue much simpler to start out with and build off of, since it is almost all just regular html and JavaScript, as opposed to React which uses jsx and has lots of painful setup of tools like redux and react router. Vue.js has a really

Regardless, who cares how many 'crooks' there are on Wall Street. If you want to get rich slow, you throw your money in a stable investment in stocks, the 401k has made lots of millionaires.

How so? They ban certain subreddits, but afaik they leave individual subreddit moderation to the moderators.

Maybe they are just trying to reduce their liability. Once they start actively policing content that isn't flagged, they will be held responsible whenever something gets on the site that shouldn't. If their policy is to only revie

Why would you sue someone for offering a breakable product? If people don't want it, they don't have to buy it. Seems like a pretty bad precedent to set.

I kind of agree, in the sense that they are similarly ethical/reasonable. Their platforms couldn't be more different, but I don't see one party being evil and corrupt and the other party being good, which is what often seems
