I would assume that stronger gravity would just come along with a different set of health issues (joint and muscle problems dealing with more stress, heart would be affected having to work harder to pump blood, etc).

Normalize for the true Yelp rating scale of 4 - 4.5 stars. Filter out anything below a 4 star rating. If a small business is unable achieve 4 stars on Yelp, then something must be really wrong. My experience is that higher star ratings on

Sure, it's unfair. But your argument for loosening regulations can't just be "It's too hard for small businesses." I'm sure things like health and safety violations are a burden for small businesses, but they d

I can't tell if you mean to imply that it's there to be served by them, or that it is there to serve "regulars". I think he meant that USENET works best as a collaboration between users, whereas the users being complai

Why would you want to do that when you can just pay for things directly? That doesn't change the fact that in many places you'll still owe taxes, regardless if you don't cash out in a distinct step somewhere. At least as fa

Probably the concern that waiting between updates means that if you are forced to update for some reason (critical bug or must-have feature) you have a tougher upgrade path.

It always bothered me because a grade should reflect the percentage of the material you actually learned. Not be just an accounting of how many hours you spent trying to learn it. Well, the argument in those cases is that tests aren'

Yup, I am close friends/family with 4 teachers. One is pretty much done after this year. Another has been seriously considering leaving for the last couple. Both basically for the same reasons. One summed up the problem as all the time

One time purchase until the next major upgrade, then you need to pay more to stay up-to-date.

Whew, glad this happened sooner rather than later. My subscription was up for renewal in a month. At least it makes the renewal decision easy.

Well, success stories tend to share the same sentiment of "Everything worked out because we worked so hard and cared so much!". It can be important to also share the failures that tend to share the sentiment of "We worked so

I find a lot of web design to be choosing the least bad among a bunch of bad options. I find 'flat' designs to be the least bad in most situations.

Many people have talked over the years about self-driving cars dropping people off and heading home. Have they? I've just seen references to cars finding nearby charging stations, not just driving themselves all the way home. Eithe

Sigh... there is so much wrong with what you've posted here, but I don't want to get into a screaming match with you about it. Seems strange to feign ambivalence while still responding to the post in question. If you really &quo

>What if people cannot acquire those talents because of social disparities? How does meritocracy help them? It doesn't, but I don't think it should. Instead we should try to correct those social disparities.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by people having to "monitor their own speech." You should think about what you're saying before you say it, right? You should consider if what you're saying is offensive to other

The resource is the time and expertise of the people contributing to the projects. If someone only ever pulls code from open source repositories, and never contributes (either with money, code, time, etc) then I think the 'freeloader&#

Isn't "freeloading" mostly defined by using resources that you aren't required to compensate someone for? Else it would just be called stealing.

I think you misinterpreted the question. It was how does someone handle the situation where no bakers (plural, not just one) will serve them for something like racial reasons. Do they just have to suck it up and go through life not using a

Why the bent noses if the customer can find some other baker that will gladly take the money and participate. And if the customer can't find a baker willing to serve them (due to their sex, race, etc), what then?

I think it's pretty straightforward to come up with reasons why it's important to limit marriage to as few people as possible. One strong one being that it could be very bad for society to allow wealthy men (and women, though I th
