Uh..i live in a relatively small town, and a lot of the local stores were better than walmart at wages and service, and had good selection. They just couldn't beat price due to being regional instead of nationwide chains. Stores like B

The problem is that you'd have to resort to involuntary commitment and/or lifetime arrest of some form to get them off, and no one likes opening that can of worms. You can build all the apartments you like, and run all the job pro

I'm not sure that they can. There's luck in that you don't hurt your back doing a trade, or get electrocuted, or you don't show up to work one day to find the doors closed because of something the boss did. There's

Heh, Netflix if anything probably is desperately relying on DVDs still...this time selling them. All their original series, $20/30 a season; I doubt the revenue solely from streaming could even pay for the production costs otherwise. A

The thing though is men are seen as potential harassers, which women virtually never have to deal with. Even though we aren't, enough men are to color relations with women and add wariness to interactions; women would see us approachin

They make more money getting a cut from people who do take the risk of selling online. This is probably the biggest contribution/problem of the modern web economy; it offshores risk and effort onto others and just provides venues and p

You're still upper middle class. You are engaging in massive conspicuous consumption by trying to live in SF or NYC.

Psycho-Pass is excellent. They also released a visual novel in the states, Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness. I also found when watching it it felt like it was decently inspired from the older anime Cyber City Oedo 808, which had the plot of

These are cryptocurrency gifts, right? How would the recipients realize the money from them, or would they treat them as assets to hold?

I don't know if they mean evidence in a specific sense. I think they mean misplaced faith in data in a meta sense, giving it more power to affect decisions than it should. The idea that everything can be solved by commissioning a study

It's a lot harder to carjack someone than to mug, to be honest. Colleges in particular tend to be pretty serious about the risks of danger of being accosted,to the point of littering the campus with callboxes and maintaining a security

Actually a jerk walking may kill you and your kid...its called "mugging" which can happen when you walk places, and which really can't happen easily if you are in a car. And there are many areas in an average city where it&#x

If anything, this site has a nasty "sacrifice life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for some future concept of good" thing going on at times. I sense we'd all be packed in cities, forced to ride bicycles, eat only veget

They are two different use cases. You need fossil fuel road transport from distribution centers and to the last mile of businesses and homes. I don't think electric will be able to handle that duty yet, and maybe not possibly unless fo

I'm worried about them because they will replace human error with computer error, which although rarer, is systemic and harder to predict and deal with. Human error is bad, but I don't want to wake up one day and find a Heartbleed

Walmart carries a very narrow range of goods, and leaves tremendous room for local businesses to still exist. Amazon will compete with everything at any time. Walmart doesn't carry criterion releases or foreign films, and there is pote

They are removing expensive full time employees for whom they pay benefits for. The article said they had planned on doing this anyways, they just did it after a bad season. As for not adequately staffing it, you simply can't. You cann

That's the influence of modernism, which was big at that time. Very much into rule by experts who applied precise, rational judgments to help or manage society. SF is still the last bastion of modernism especially in hard SF, but I thi

How is his stuff hard science? He made up the positronic brain, and his whole psychohistory was just absurd; if anything, the idea of a brilliant cabal of scientists and technicians using psychohistory to predict the future is just dressed

He didn't shape much at all. Asimov was the literal definition of a hack; he churned out writings more or less nonstop, and most of his work is nonfiction and forgotten in time. His science fiction in general wasn't particularly t

why? Shadowrun was garbage too. Go back and read the novels some time. There's a reason why Shadowrun consistently failed to get an audience throughout its entire lifetime, even back in FASA days.

It's the same junk cartoon network has been peddling for years. Netflix has been spamming geek series nonstop, and it's all been crap. All of it. It's just popular crap at the moment, and they were lucky to catch the wave at

What's really annoying about this is that women are not underrepresented in STEM careers! The article mentions if anything, they are overrepresented in the life sciences, and are only underrepresented in math at the doctoral level. The

I dont think this is great. The article didn't mention the massive health risks wrestlers face, even risk of death or long term impairment. The WWE has tried a little to reduce those but the smaller or more hardcore promotions probably

I think modern game devs create entitlement through games as service models that rely on unhealthy pve or player versus player content either real or implicit, and quickly force them into factions to compete for limited dev time. The games

I can't agree with this. I don't think scraping specific forums for a small dictionary list of words can be an accurate marker of depression, especially when those forums overlap with your control ones; asthma, cancer, and ptsd su

It would have the unintended effect of showing people just how restrictive and bland a vegan lifestyle is, turning them off from it.

I'm not sure. All the anime stuff at least has some kind of warmth to it, but Poppy feels so robotic as to be eerie. Even Miku has personality to her, Poppy feels the exact opposite, to the point it grates and burns on your ears.

I don't agree. I feel that chess engines have killed chess as a pastime that people play. I know growing up in the 80s I played it during lunch at school, and schools had chess clubs which really weren't on the order of forming ne
