Is that really productive though? For me, at least, I try and imagine how I would feel if the roles were switched - in that case I am pretty sure I wouldn't change my mind, because I have thought about my political views a fair bit, an

I think that "AI" weapons can definitely be more dangerous if they can determine the difference between civilians and enemy soldiers. Imagine if there was an AI weapon which you could use without on a massive scale without worryin

Lots of the top posts seem to be very supportive of the antifa, so it seems pretty far left to me.

I just don't see what benefits Bitcoin gives to me over a regular bank. First of all because it is decentralised, it is much less scalable than the current system, so I don't think it is going to be able to replace regular banking

Sure, just put this somewhere in your i3 config file: mode "pause" { bindsym Escape mode "default" } bindsym $mod+p mode "pause" That should show a 'pause' indicator in the i3 bar wh

I find that it is sometimes inevitable that you will have conflicting key combinations, so I added an empty i3 mode called "pause" which prevents i3 from reading the key combinations until you press Escape.

I always overengineer my side projects, because it's way more interesting that way. I do side projects for fun and to learn something, both of which happen more easily when the project is overengineered.

The question is, what should be sacrificed in order to teach kids to code? They have a limited amount of time at school, so some other subject must be reduced significantly, to allow for enough time to actually teach them anything useful.

I just use termite, it's super simple with no tabs or anything, and you can hack it so that it shows up as a floating window (for quick commands) or as a regular window, and have multiple terminals tiled.

I ride my mountain bike 30+ all the time, it feels fine. It definitely makes me a bit more sweaty, but is a sustainable speed for a few kilometres at least especially if there is a bit of a slope.

How often do you hear of someone loosing thousands of dollars perminantly because of a banking error? Almost never, because if a bank did not reimburse people who lost money, their reputation would be destroyed. How often do you hear of peo

Aside from the 'Create laws that criminalize trivial and victimless actions', I see nothing wrong with that, you are only making the prisoners happier during their time in prison. Prison is partially about punishment anyways, so r

The prisoners all said they liked working much more than they liked being in prison, so so wouldn't really call it "slave labour" And even if they didn't like it, how is forcing them to do some work any worse than forcin

So you don't think we should prohibit anything? Should we just let people buy fentanyl by the kilogram without any repercussions? Sure, we should reform drug laws so that user's are not punished as significantly, but completely re

Yea, so the company provides a significant benefit, because without them the person would starve. I don't see why any of that is the companies problem, should they pay people more money just to be nice? The governments job is to ensure

How is a minimum wage job not optional? People stay in their minimum wage jobs because it is better than their other options, not because the company forces them too. Really, the company giving the person their minimum wage job is more &#x2

It's not the tracking, it's the super long and expensive regulatory process, and the cost of researching the drugs. Remember that for every successful drug, there are probably many that the company spent lots of money working on,

I think it is a bad idea to apply that rule to all programming languages though. If you are doing Java, for example, and have a function inside of a class, and a loop in the function, putting a condition inside of the loop would violate the

Where do you need 5 years of experience for a minimum wage job? Everyone I know who wanted a minimum wage job got one without any experience, maybe I just know a lot of outliers though.

I think they are trying to fix it, they spent over $200 million on the homeless last year, but it is a difficult problem to solve.
