the US could spend significantly less and achieve that goal. Russia has a much smaller population and GDP per capita, and Western European countries aren’t spending nothing.

Look I'm a broken record at this point (if you check my history), but I feel like _someone_ has to say it. Lets treat big oil like big tobacco. Big coal. Big fast food. Big soda. These things _literally_ kill so many people every year

Hourly billing is how you protect yourself against a sloppy client like this, especially with unpredictability. I have seen fixed price blow up so much I would never ever do it personally - I would have to add so much it would be astonishin

I'm shocked at how much this person undercharged, for a contract like this to a large company $1K P/D AUD time and materials is not even particularly high. A consulting firm would be 2.5-3.5 so it's a bargain.

I agree with you on usage, what I meant to say was more “I don’t understand why it’s OP compared to Boeing when it’s been a great year for FB” and “I don’t understand why OP brought it up, why do people always want to talk about FB”.

Facebook stock is up over 30% this year. So far it’s a blockbuster year for Facebook. I really don’t understand the obsession with the social media company.

I’m glad somebody said this. I could list a thousand companies more evil than Facebook just in energy (3 million people a year die from coal!) and healthcare. While N companies being more evil doesn’t make X company not evil, employing tens

Thats a cool site I didn't know about, however I assumed the innocent suspect wasn't logged into google maps, and that the reporting was done by the device separately.

Could this have been avoided if the suspect himself had the same access to his own sensor data? Like an alibi? I read this whole thing as the technology is there to prevent innocent people to jail, and the processes haven't caught up.

I’m surprised political speech is not protected specifically as it is in the UK and Australia in France for example, but I still don’t agree the trade off for Nazis is worth it.

A good try from a JS perspective however: 1) view is immutable in both cases 2) GGP is returning in a void block so both sets of code will fail 3) there is really no difference except iteration vs function calls as far as I can tell, you ca

It’s not constitutionally protected in basically any other western country for example, what is so bad about the way those countries work? Is the USA an improved society because of this?

Strongly against making drugs with very low potential for harm illegal, but that’s definitely not tobacco related products. I feel it undermines the logic based argument to legalize recreational drugs. As well, smoking costs 3x the tax reve

This guy is straight up lying, with no intention of correctly his false claim this is racial targeting. Even after confirming with a white person banned for using slack while visiting Iran, he continued to claim in the thread it is racial.

The thing I’ve always liked about him, is he actually did bet the farm when he could have had a very easy life. Not sure I could have done it.
