You don't understand probably because your paycheck depends on not understanding, e.g. you think you are benefiting from the current status quo. Others call it unfair because their paycheck also depend on it. What if the market says yo

European here, the NPR plain text site is a joy to use and I consider it one of the best and most compliant solutions, If I accidentally click a WaPo link I just navigate away from the paywall. Same with TechCrunch.

Probably projecting here, but the imo the no1 reason to start a business is writing software for others does not scale, while selling software/service is lucrative.

Logo was such a common denominator when I was in primary. Two decades later I was sent a resume with Logo skills listed, it was an obvious inside joke, but picking up on it ensured we started off on the very right foot.

Not just spent, but every loc written adds a small amount of maintenance cost to the TCO. I find non technical people like when engineers use their vocabulary.

There was this post not too long ago by lordleft which I thought was really beautiful and resonated with me. The decision to have kids is a lot like the decision to continue living. There is no logical basis for it. Or rather, any latticew

I will bite, why would anyone send their name and location to a random webservice? Taking the time to record and upload a 10 min hd video as well. What is the benefit?

The article features a misleading infographic starting at ~3M which makes me question its credibility or whether it was written with some agenda in mind. According to my experience Western reporting on Eastern affairs tends to do that.

Even more perverse, there seems to be a broad sense that this is the way things should be. This is one of the secret strengths of right-wing populism. You can see it when tabloids whip up resentment against tube workers for paralysing Lond

Money is the best way. Your situation is a different scenario. If you were going to accept the other offer what would it took to keep you in your current one? Money. And if you worth +50% on the market you should really re-evaluate how ni

Money. We can argue here all day and pretend it is not money, but it is money. And I know people don't like to hear it, so it needs to be repeated. Money. With a capital M. Also applies for any regular employee.

There are multiple things to unpack here. First, human lives in the hands of machines or even just software is completely normal, like directly like handing it over to autopilot for example. I don't think there is an ethical angle here

Thanks for the explanation, but I'm not sure whether I'm 100% convinced by the example. Monitoring multiple signals and reacting to them is what machines good at, in fact, a human in the control loop can be a liability for many in

Stupid question, because I never understood this. Anesthetics seems like a mostly mechanical process with little room to deviate from the established procedures both for medical and legal reasons. What am I missing, what makes anesthesiolog

Deleting an account is giving up control over that. Keep the account just never log in. Better yet, add a few GBs of noise.

Imo it is an organizational thing. Big is good, powerful and important. The more subordinates the more powerful a manager is. Allocated resources (e.g. dev hours) must be spent on something and more often than not must deliver just a little

Treat accounts like cattle, not pets. I only use MFA when it is forced on me, yet to encounter a situation where it prevented anyone but me from accessing a service.

I don't think I agree with that. Do you want spam treated the same as your regular email for example? It is up to the implementation to decide what is {spy|mal|track|junk}ware. The reverse is also problematic, sites treat browsers (or

It blocks some tracking, but is it a good content blocker? Last time I checked I still needed to install ublock or equivalent for acceptable performance. How hard it is to incorporate something an extension already provides?
