Hanging out in trans circles (as a non-binary person myself), this seems commonly known within the community. Interesting to see research done here, but I'd be careful about over generalizing (e.g. "All trans people are neurodiver

Just as frequently early birds. I'm ready for most days by 630 or 7. Half of my team gets into the office by 8 and half comes in at like 1030 or 11. I think we just hear more from the night owls because it's more likely that busin

Weaponizing the firehose of vitriol of gamers is a wild approach to take. Let's see if it pays off for them.

Independent of whether I agree with you, you may want to consider finding a better way to express your disapproval than using people with developmental disabilities as an insult.

They not only had the lawsuit in hand and ready, but an ad and a deployment strategy to get it launched in game. Epic was clearly planning to go fully public at scale on this issue.

Who watches this ad and doesn't immediately realize how ridiculous it is? Epic is a multi-billion dollar company taking pot shots at another multi-billion dollar company. Are people so easily swayed to their particular favorite capital

How do you feel about events like the Stonewall Riots[1], where police historically assaulted LGBTQ+ people, and those people fought back? These people should have just accepted being beaten and arrested for being gay? That should have wait

There are very few clear, unambiguous riots. What is a protest that has a few looters or arsonists operating within it? I've seen plenty of events here in the Pacific Northwest that police have labelled riots that I would in no way cal

There's also a false dichotomy between peaceful and violent. There are non-violent, non-peaceful protests where protesters are noisy, block traffic, etc. Many of the speakers I've heard have expanded on the phrase "No Justice

It's a story about technology using the social capital of someone who is deceased. If someone wrote a posthumous editorial in the NYT and signed it with their name, or released an album of new music (not newly discovered or remastered

That's interesting, because there's much, much more granularity above 1.0 than below it if you enforce increments of 0.1.

> Nobody is forced to work anywhere in the U.S. Starvation and rent suggest otherwise. We're not so sufficiently advanced that anyone can choose not to work and expect meals and a roof over their head.

Has anyone suggested the solution to this is to make another medallion system? It seems like the OP was putting the cart before the horse.

Is the amount a driver makes totally transparent to them ahead of accepting a ride, sufficient that they could refuse anything that makes them less than $XX/hour or travels to an area they don't want to travel to? Are drivers remo

Pedantically, sure. Ethically, maybe? Legally -- we'll see how this case goes. I think it's reasonable to argue that because the contractor had no input into the rate, and if they decline too many rides they might be removed from

Yeah? You are suggesting you could be immune but show negative on an antibody test? How?

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/should-not-vacc.html It varies by vaccine, but allergies, health conditions, and age are all factors. Some people also practice religions that forbid them.

People who choose not to vaccinate can impact others by spreading the virus to others who cannot vaccinate for medical or religious reasons. They also spread to other people who choose not to vaccinate. Vaccines are also not 100% effective,

Because it's unclear how long antibodies last. Unless you've had a positive antibody test it seems like a reasonable measure to protect people around you.

I'm genderfluid. And gender is fluid for some people, but other folks have very fixed gender identities.

I don't know how you can say that fans haven't discussed this movie through a trans lens. Like, a very cursory googling of articles over the past two decades indicates that yes, in fact, many fans have discussed the film through t

I would guess that it's easiest to manufacture a linear row of panels, and install N hundred copies of that row following the path of the canal. Otherwise each row of panels would need to be either made bespoke or adjusted on site.

Police don't really respond to alarm calls anyways. The high degree of false alarms generally puts responding to these at the bottom of the list of things to respond to.

I would assume so. Pride and bragging about how easy something is would lead a lot of folks to just straight up tell you how they've outsmarted security gear. Humans will always be humans, and humans LOVE to tell you how they've b

We protect juveniles for a reason. It seems reasonable to make an effort not to spread their identities around on social media (even if they are reported by press sites.)

This is the wrong question, and an appeal the authority. It doesn't matter what my credentials are. (And, I'd even go so far as to argue that an evolutionary biology doctorate is only one lens with which to observe the relationshi

That's a disappointing anecdote. I'm not sure it's any different in the states, unfortunately. Still, I believe we should be emphasizing the cases where the IT workers stood in solidarity and present a unified front wherever
