Jordan Peterson used this guy as an example of someone that is truly committed to environmentalism, as compared to the typical clueless feel-good armchair activist that achieves little.

As an FP Novice I find the resources the article links fantastic. I have to be honest that I am still not fully convinced that FP is not a sham! It looks like it makes many everyday code problems cognitively harder to come up with (harder t

Which is why, as automation keeps taking jobs away, even the people at the bottom are better off, since even though they're forced into ever lower paying jobs, what they can buy with this money enables to them to have a better quality

Notice how subtle the causes are that you are excavating about how their may be subtle sexism or just unintended gendered approaches that are limiting the participation of women on stack exchange or in programming in general. If you are tru

Like the other poster mentioned crypto currencies. I've hit many jackpots like this in my life. I have also seen big opportunities that are specific to another person, asked why they don't pursue X or Y, and the responses are quit

I've always wondered about the role that the reticular activating system plays in being lucky. If you are expecting to find good opportunities you may spot them more. I have seen many typical people blunder blindly past once-in-a-lifet

My own code works almost as well as Karabiner. My code is in such a disorganized state, I have never coded MAC stuff before, this was my first try, creating a test project scaffold with xcode. I mixed old school C-code with objective C be

Last I looked Karabiner-ELEMENTS did not have this mouse-key feature. Karabiner mouse-keys really works amazingly well, so well in fact that I was willing to downgrade both my MAC's macos to be able to keep using it until my own fully

I can completely replace my mouse with the keyboard so I never even have to take my hands off the keys. I use karabiner on 2 versions older of macOS, which allows you to use a special keyboard way to control the mouse... You hold the D-key

Well because the selection pool of women tend to be much smaller than men, you either have to work harder to recruit and retain female talent or quality will suffer. Howeve when many firms go the extra mile to obtain the top tier female tal

But I am the victim of my absentmindedness, more often than others are. It's not some kind of power manipualtion bs like this article asserts, instead I am diagnosed with pretty severe ADHD. There really are completely different explan

Agree. Why do companies pay massive taxes - do they use massive amounts of public services ? No! Also the article calls not paying more taxes than you have to "theft". Others may view getting the bejezuz taxed out of your corporat

Somehow the fact that one person got assualted (as in grievous bodily harm) over a triviality is never really given much consideration. Should be a pretty clear and shut case to reason about morally. Completely disproportionate response by

The movie idiocracy comes to mind. Apparently the flynn effect slowed down. Some people hypothesize that the wellfare state has a dysgenic effect by redistributing income from high IQ (high income) people to low IQ (low income or wellfare r

It's rather silly to think you can publish an outright hostile and disparaging article about a big advertiser and not lose them. The fact that you are forced to choose between making money and speaking the truth, shows your business mo

Worse than clickbait this belongs in the "fake news" garbage bin. Not biased at all, the first paragraph starts : "During the 2016 US presidential election, Donald Trump galvanized a small but powerfully vicious fan base in h

Exactly. The FDA is a major impediment to progress. Often times treatments already approved in other jurisdictions get delayed for YEARS without good reason other than bureaucracy and paperwork. I also hate the bs about how trial participan
