These things don't relate to one another in any meaningful way, it's like telling people to be wary of marching in sync because the Nazis did it.

I can't understand how to make friends with people at work when it seems my colleagues and I are all putting on invented professional personalities. How do you make friends with the equivalent of someone's customer service voice?

If you're going to make these claims could you source them?

I think you've misunderstood, I didn't make any claims. My only question was if shaming people is effective, and we seem to have sidestepped that.

Does shaming people about their sexual hygiene increase openness and willingness to get tested? Or does it encourage people to hide from the problem, exacerbating it? I know weight shaming is in this category, tends to make people gain rath

Between decades ago and now we've recognized that sugar only causes excitableness in children who are prompted (Clever Hans style) by adults who expect such an outcome. The wisdom you're referencing is circa the 70's, it&#x27

Always fun to scroll hn and get some drive-by ableism. The majority of autistic people aren't in full time work, they probably don't resemble that remark.

That's inflation, GP is referencing purchasing power.

The caveat being that taste is subjective. If we're talking raw with no sauce I can't say there's any vegetable I'm keen to snack on, certainly none on your list.

Having just hit a super weird bug at work concerning browser focus which only appears on Mac Safari and iOS Safari I'm inclined to disagree -- they're different flavours of the same offering imo.

Increasing wages correlates with inflation, but it's a _very_ weak correlation. In most industries labour does not make up the lion's share of business expenses. Studying minimum wage increases between 1978 and 2015: > we find

If the autism spectrum were represented as an input paradigm it would be a color picker rather than a number range. It is not from 0 autism to 100 autism, it's more like a combination of sensory processing, language, social communicati

I don't believe it's abuse of the term, it's not part of Firefox's source code -- as far as I'm aware it's literally a web extension that's batched in after build time. It also exists in isolation with exa

There's upsides and downsides to both approaches. I think that Linux kernel maintainers continue this approach because this forces driver maintainers to meet a minimum level of effort to get their work merged.

Unused land is fenced off and teens are chased away when they congregate now. Actually, nevermind teens, even adults can't find third spaces now. There's vanishingly few places you can comfortably exist without being expected to p

You may not have used them but there were definitely third spaces for children and teens in the form of play areas and parks. Add skate parks to that list if you grew up in the early 00s, and probably something else before that.

As far as I can tell there's nothing in the guidelines telling us not to mention them when someone's plainly in violation. Plus I did actually include a refutation, which you've then ignored to make this complaint.
