Is it really though? The tools might be proprietary, but the workflow should be easy to move. E.g. You need to have a code review before a commit is merged. It happens that Github has a good set of tools for this, but if you decided that on

So now you have a widely distributed system of insurers to deal with making the rules, rather than people I've elected to represent my interests? (Even if said elections don't always go my way.) Who are those insurers beholden to,

Your idea doesn't seem to be thought through -- who ensures the insurance companies are solvent enough to pay out? How do you deal with irreversible damage? Why invest a ton of energy into figuring out the right risk calculations for s

To provide more color to the parent comment, the scope of React vs the scope of Unity is several orders of magnitude different. (In fact, I've seen games that use React inside to manage their UI layers.)

I use it a lot for hobby projects, and have used it and Lumberyard in a serious capacity. Whew boy does Unity absolutely put Lumberyard to shame. Unity, for me, is absolutely busted but also extremely approachable and generally good to use.

I was coming to post this exact sentiment. The city and its people really shine when the roads are used by people, there are many pedestrian bridges, etc. I love seeing spaces used by humans, not by cars.

It does take time, a large freezer, and money on hand. Not everyone has cash like that sitting around.

First is finding a local farmer and knowing their timeline for a harvest. In Western Washington, you can use http://www.tilthalliance.org/ to look up farmers by product (meat, veg, fruits, eggs, fish, etc.) Reach out to far

Yeah. I did find that with lots of friends it's possible to split an animal. I generally keep half of the beef and coordinate friends to split the other half. It definitely takes some time, which is a privilege in itself, but it's

For me, yes. The label pasture raised could still imply corn finished (and a feedlot or CAFO). Knowing the farmer, seeing the fields, and building a relationship with them holds emotional value to me. It cuts out the middle man too -- my mo

It's super rare out here in the coast. Though many people do raise chickens, bees, or the occasional goat in their yards.

I rarely purchase meat, maybe once every two years, but when I do I buy directly from a local farmer whose farm I can visit. I've bought whole beef this way, and the quality to price ratio was amazing. Grass fed, organically raised, hu

This just seems like capitalism to me. Epic is losing millions of dollars to Apple, they think that they can keep more of those millions of they win this lawsuit. I don't think there's any reason to suspect a shadowy cabal of CCP

Are tips universally distributed? I would suspect that unconscious bias can impact tipping norms and result in certain classes of people getting smaller or larger tips. I don't have data to back up my hypothesis, however. Additionally,

Several restaurants have gotten rid of tipping in Seattle, either through just eliminating it or through the "we charge a fixed additional fee that goes to staff". Either way, I'm a fan (though I prefer the former) if the bus

It's tragic that the US has politicized this pandemic and decided that rolling the dice with student lives is the right outcome.

There isn't a body that's suitable for me, unfortunately. The best I could hope for might be a somewhat waifish androgyny, but even that would only be a very, very loose approximation. > So your problem was that other people di

Identity is about how you visualize yourself, and how strongly you feel those visualizations define that concept of you. And yes, I know people for whom hungry is a part of their identity -- it's certainly common in media as well. Slee

The feeling of gender dysphoria is not a pleasant one. Coming to an understanding helped me rationalize and address my anxiety. Ultimately, gendered stuff is all around us and it is not so easy to "just not bother".

Great question. For me it's that sometimes I have those traits and sometimes I don't. I don't really have a set of traits and preferences that is consistent from day to day or hour to hour. Some days I'd prefer others se

I think so, unfortunately many people do not. Ideally I'd be free to express myself however I wanted without facing prejudice for it, but we're not in that world today.

Many of us are not tightly attached to all parts of our identities. For some, they might care deeply about their identity as a devout Christian/Muslim, others might not really care. Some might care about their political party affiliati

I haven't heard of it. Reading the synopsis on Amazon suggests that it's not something I'd find much to agree with. While I do believe that trans identities are in the forefront of the discourse right now and that some folks

That's one means to understand your identity. Generally, if you'd say, "I am a ..." then you identify as that. You might say, for instance, I am a Catholic. Or I am a Muslim. I am a man. I am a woman. I am a chef. I am a

Some people feel differently. If you were addressed as "ma'am" everywhere you went, you may not be that bothered. You might find it really frustrating. Even within the bounds of a gender (e.g. masculine), people will find the

Simplified explanation that leaves out the discussion of people who are agender, genderqueer, etc.: If you conceptualize gender as 'manliness' or 'femininity', you can pretty easily see that some folks are more or less &
