They’ll tolerate a lot if you’re providing enough value. They’ll even tolerate giving you their money if that value is high enough so why wouldn’t they tolerate having to not use a social login?

I think willingly abusing user privacy for profit and lying to your government makes using the word “repugnant” pretty quantifiable.

OP never said anything about quitting on the spot. The question was why would one go to work for such a company knowing, as one must these days, how vile that company is. Another facet to the question is why wouldn’t one look for and take a

I think what we’re all saying is that while what he did wasn’t illegal, it should have been, and probably once was but we’ve allowed corporations to pay off our politicians to make laws legalizing actions like his.

"Hugo" was beautifully done, was uplifting, and wasn't crime related in the way other of his works are. I just finished the book it was based on and he was very faithful to it.

Your examples prove my point. Those are all wonderfully creative movies (not sure about Robocop since I don't remember it much) I never said I wanted to be surprised. I said I wanted creativity which is something I personally find l

What would happen if you spent some time paying attention to that anxiety? Noticing where you feel it in your body? Is it in your chest and shoulders like it usually is for me? Where in your chest and shoulders? What thoughts do you not

Reading between the lines of what Moore said I don't see the problem as simply watching superhero movies. It's watching too much TV at all. It's spending too much time on Facebook. It's buying a new [insert product he

I agree and I think we've lost the ability to be our own heroes. We're all walking around with massive anxieties and not facing them only makes us more anxious. And don't get me wrong; there's a place for escapism. Ev

I have to agree with Scorsese here. I don't remember the last superhero movie I saw where I didn't walk out with a yawn. They're just so predictable. Everyday guy or gal gets bestowed with or discovers powers of some sort

Could be a matter of population. 300 million residents vs 83 million means they have a larger pool of gullible people to target. I don’t mean that to sound mean, really. It’s just a fact that this is a numbers game for these scammers and th

I’ve been told that in sales teams it is common for them to be highly encouraged to go out and buy a new car and other things like that so that they have an incentive to make their quotas. Think that scene in Boiler Room where the guy runni

Prior to iOS 13 I used this all the time to great success but now it seems like whenever I use it, it tries to select all the text beneath wherever I move the cursor instead of simply moving the cursor to where I want it.

"It feels like change for the sake of change when it worked perfectly before." To my mind this is becoming a BIG problem in tech and I'm really saddened to see Apple falling for it. I guess too many people in a position to c

I’ve been going through this book lately and it is very well written. It’s one of the best introductions to Clojure and ClojureScript that I’ve found.

Except, as I understand it, it's more like this: Hospital bills Insurance Company $XXX,XXX.XX and Insurance Company says, "No, we'll only pay $XX,XXX.XX" so Hospital pays it. What's not mentioned is that it only co

Running toward your fear isn't hand wavy advice. It is in essence what modern therapy around fear, panic, and anxiety teaches. It's good advice because it works. Running away only makes the problem worse. Be that losing $30M o

Yes but I think we're nearing a point where the lobbyists won't be able to overcome millions of pissed off citizens who feel like they're getting screwed by an entire industry.

Genuine question: what's the purpose of raising the wholesale prices like this if so few people, if anyone, are paying that pirce? Is it so they can claim a higher tax deduction? Because, honestly, I don't see how that's mu

My dad had a brain operation a few years ago. His recovery has been somewhat slow and wasn't always smooth but it also wasn't as bad as I think we all expected. Brains are mysterious organs. I wish you all the best in your reco

I've been on Keto for almost two years and recently had someone adamantly scold me about how bad it is for my brain. My n=1 suggests otherwise. Things like focus and mood are all significantly better than they were before. Physical
