Alternatives include engaging in a partnership (basically investment). Someone wants to start a business, they gather interest from investors who put in money for a share of the business. The founder contributes effort (and perhaps some mon

It's no wonder interest (usury) is banned in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It's absolutely at the root of the financial problems we're seeing today.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Just because polygamy is permissible doesn't mean it's practiced in a widespread manner, not to mention you don't even know what percentage of marriages are polygamous.

Peaceful does not mean pacifist, and slavery under Islamic law is not slavery as embodied by the West and other cultures.

Not to mention it's very cringey, as well as the somewhat implicit messaging where "the kitchen is not only for women", see we have a progressive man here who's preparing a meal for his wife.

None of this "unlimited PTO" either. It's just a way for the company to save money as they don't owe you anything come the end of the year or when you leave and still have PTO days.

It's an important start, but sometimes it just feels like it's not enough, especially if people have certain beliefs that they hang onto without being able to defend them, for fear of a slippery slope situation. Take for example s

It seems it's another "bootcamp" like initiative trying to make a quick buck by treating computer science education as a trade. Naturally, people who end up going to these programs end up working on web stuff or mobile apps.

The way I see it, tobacco products should be fully banned. If there are companies that truly want to help the addicts, they can work in a controlled manner, overseen by the government, something like a rehab program. There should be deadli

Because, in this case, you'd be playing a role in spreading destructive behavior in society. Unlike some other companies which have goods and bads, here we have a company that provides no good whatsoever.

It's important information, yes. But it is paramount to have law enforcement involved which didn't seem to happen until later. That's when they can follow up with the company to gather evidence about what took place.

Which is why the first thing is to go to the police and have them investigate. It's not a private company's job to do this.

I have used both in production, and Java/JVM is far superior. Concise is not a word I'd use to describe golang. I can't count how many times I've come across code that would be 1 or 2 lines in Java compared to 15 lines o

golang has nothing to offer compared to Java's introspection capability, performance, tooling, tunability, and even concurrency (see java.util.concurrent). Not to mention maturity and widespread adoption. It's just an overhyped, s
