We shouldn’t downvote contrarian views in general, no matter how much we oppose them. Only when they get preachy or smarmy should we consider it.

Absolutely it will. Everytime you try and force a labor law, companies have people who are smart and figure out a way around it. Now they can tell Uber drivers when they will work and where they will work. So if you don’t want to work the

The fact that hoax papers can so easily get through makes a mockery of the process. It shows there is next to no rigor on what is being submitted and it is just an echo chamber where ridiculous topics like “canine trans community discrimin

Reddit needs this but for upvotes. Tons of low quality posts starting with a barely funny joke that goes 15 replies deep with almost the same joke but less and less funny. If you only have say 5 upvotes a day, you won’t contribute garbage

One really great example of this is coughing in films. Once someone coughs for no reason, you know they will croak by the end of the film.

Never realized and I’ve probably seen this movie 100 times. I suspect there may have been a little scene that connected the two more explicitly but may have been cut. Great information - I’ll go to Pancakes House now.

It's learning from existing code, right? Doesn't this say something about developers in general, or is the thought that it uses combinations of code that are insecure?

Yeah I laugh because of the awkward situation but to his credit he just says ‘f it’ at the end - all you can do!

Everytime I see articles of these wax cylinders I always think of this video on Chris Pirillo’s old show: https://youtu.be/pnsizkVjGm8 30 second video but kind of entertaining depending on your taste in humor.

I am not affiliated with a religion at all and I think that is a very good question that he asks. Just seems like more woke nonsense and Harvard turning its nose up at society.

That’s a great trick. I was always told to use a metal spoon and get it as hot as you can stand it and press it the bite as much as you can and as long as you can stand it. Never thought about the hair dryer.

I had a new boss a few years ago who would tell me about these outrageous things he wanted in Excel - like full blown applications. And he’d want them in a week. I tried doing the vba code, and got it partially built and he was pretty dis

I think the great Top Men comments is another excellent detail. When I was a kid I thought there might be some secret team that could work for the government and Indy would have to believe. But now that I’ve worked in research, it’s clear

I can no longer visit End-To-End encrypted sites anymore at work. It sucks because I use ProtonMail and end up having to use my phone to forward things from there or to my Google email, which I wanted to stop using entirely.

Not a popular opinion but I’ll say it - Firefox was my daily driver until the CEO made comments about censoring conservatives that went beyond just deplatforming them. I now use ungoogled chromium or Edge.
