"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” This.

Agree with the point, but the disregard for process has been going on for longer than 3 years. If we want our principles to be taken seriously we can't just call out the other side. Remember "I have a pen and a phone"? How we

Ha! I wonder if the seagull incident was a subtle way of giving away the author is full of crap ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

One aspect of this that doesn't seem to be getting much attention is the law of unintended consequences. It's easy to contribute other people's money to an inarguably noble cause, but I wonder how many of the authors of the b

Why is it wrong for me (or anyone) to get fulfillment out of their job? Thanks to my partner I do the traveling thing; I visit other countries, sample other cultures, and routinely try new things. I'm not averse to any of it, but I don

Yes, absolutely! Obviously there's other things I enjoy doing as well, but programming by far has the greatest impact on the world around me, and I love seeing the things I help create making other people's lives easier.

What's wrong with working for others? Similarly, what's the point of programming (or of any work, I suppose) if it isn't helping someone?

by Mary-Jane 6y ago
Or, more optimistically, if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. I love programming too and have no plans on stopping either. And there's nothing wrong with that.

There's two things I remember about line drying from when I was a kid: * Clothes having a slightly "rubbery" smell (similar to if you open a box of old RCA cables) * The clothes were somewhat stiff. I remember enjoying "

I'm curious what your point is. Do you expect that anyone with a mic ought to be able to experience Rogan's success?

* masks! Not balls. lol

by Mary-Jane 6y ago
So what's the point of wearing masks then?

I agree! The biggest difference is that your interaction with any given businesses is not compulsory.

How is this comment not dead? It violates all the criteria for participating on this site.

Is there another measure that takes these other factors into account? It's very easy to look at these comparison charts and conclude there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

R0 is what it is, but I agree, it seems like there should be a more meaningful measure that takes factors like incubation period into account.

There two comparisons to other diseases appear to contradict each other. First: COVID-19 is both less communicable and less fatal than SARS. Second: it has spread faster and killed more people than SARS. I would like to understand how both

A similar analogy: talented musicians who can only read music but completely lack the ability to improvise.

If Google peaked in 2009 and has been declining since then, then any search engine that's as good as they were then would be better than they are now, not as you say "just as good".

In simplistic terms a pension relies on the continued growth of the entity that funds it so we can ignore our political biases and just look at the math to test the truthiness of your assertions: an entity with stagnant income simply cannot

"The study suggests that it makes sense for parents and anyone involved in raising a child to try and shield or protect the child from exposure to adversity." I'm sorry, this is just silly. Prior to the industrial revolution,

You mean something like "If you like your health care plan you can keep it"? ...or how about the "anti-muslim video that spurned spontaneous protests" across the middle east? In any event, by and large, most doctoring &#

The point wasn't that David has beat Goliath. Netflix and Apple are examples of companies that changed the rules: when was the last time you visited a Blockbuster or used your Palm Pilot? What happened to companies like Sears, Border&#
