Glottal stops for t's are not new. A lot of t's in American English are glottalized. For example 1. button 2. gotten 3. mountain 4. eaten 5. wait In all of these examples the t is dropped entirely in all but the most formal speech

The criminal world is dangerous. When large sums of money are involved it becomes even more dangerous. Seems like a kid who had no idea what he was getting into suddenly found out how dangerous things can become. It's hard to feel bad

As he should be, in my opinion. We should've entered a mild recession in 2018 but because of TPTB he went whole hog on cutting rates as low as possible. We didn't enter the recession, and as luck would have it a global catastrophe

This argument is tiring. The massive unprecedented drop in unemployment was the result of loose monetary policy. In order to properly control the economy there is a certain level of unemployment (something like 6-8% iirc) that is expected a

I just want the real agile back. The nice thing about a deadline is the tech illiterate understand them just as well as the people building it do. You can check in and have stand ups about the deadline all you want. You can even track work

Regulations? You mean the same mechanism ISPs, food companies, "sin taxable" companies, etc use to capture entire segments of the market and price fix their way to a billion dollar profit? Or the regulations that nearly sank Tesla

It's not at all a marketing slogan. The woke people have a problem though. To cancel someone properly they have to possess a desire to stay in the social strata they are in. For example, a developer makes a Python joke and loses their

You imply they are allegedly grooming these kids to be white nationalists on discord. Discord is a monitored platform. Do you have any evidence of the FBI cracking down on these discords? Actual terrorism falls into the purview of the FBI

Is it really so much to ask for a player who doesn't want to listen to voice chat to click through a menu to turn off voice chat? Or click one or two buttons to mute a player in chat/voice? Do we really need a heavy handed approac

I can't agree. Except in what I can only imagine are niche communities I have not experienced a "modern" conversation that could match what I would consider social interaction. Certainly you could come up with probably 1,000

That system is superior to the system I've experienced in America which is either a mandatory door check of your bags, or no check at all. There doesn't seem to be an in-between at all in any place I've been to.

It's a distributed system. You can almost always scan faster than a cashier and you know exactly what quantity and item you intended to buy. Moreover, a cursory (rather than colonoscopy level) scan of "big ticket" items that

This isn't an argument in bad faith or anything but if all this is so good why is Elixir not more popular? If it's basically Ruby on Erlang (which is what it feels like), you'd think it would've been trivial to retool a
