You could always teach them how to use git and have them commit frequently. Seems like it would be less intrusive than a webcam.

Can you name a single moderation system that operates on this scale that will not automatically ban someone for getting mass reported? This is a fairly well known phenomenon.

Agreed, I was just trying give an example of why using proprietor would create confusion.

I am by no means a fan of mmt, but I think looking at government spending as a share of GDP misses the point mmt proponents attempt and often fail to make; which is that financial constraints are should not be the limiting factor of the eco

Not even the MMT people understand MMT. The lack of formal models means everyone is working with wildly different and often contradictory definitions

It seems like it would just be a better idea to have meter maids do this manually rather seeding cameras and microphones with direct feeds to the state.

I'm not aware of governments just asking one to pay a fine. The thing that really bothers me is that it allows the state to perform legal action at scale. If a city, let's say Chicago, just started sending people ticket how many w

This is interesting because I am personal friends with the editorial teams of two different literary magazines that were started in the last five years. Having seen the numbers, I can say they are doing quite well. I am curious as to what i

Wait you made Flaticon? I would like to to say thank you. Before I truly got into software I was a humble associate consultant and I honestly don't know how I would have made all those decks without you.

True, but prestigious schools are playing games. For example, my alma mater is currently waiving the application fee for students they know will not get in simply so they can reject them. It is incredibly fucked up.

Some companies are doing this but it varies by industry. I have family on the comp boards of a few publicly traded companies and they are doing across the board raises of 5-9%. My current company is not and so I have been interviewing.
