Hmmmmm. There's gotta be something here. I don't even think you need something as extreme as UK/EU remote employees. We just need a good (and more common) way to diagnose DSPD, and then ask DSPD'ers if they are discri

Yeah. When I was job hunting ~3 years ago I knew I was going to have to do a lot of whiteboarding problems. I only had two 2 years of coding experience, and for the last six months I had been freelancing, which doesn't often encourage

Don't we often transfer risk of death while buying certain products? Doesn't my enjoyment of king crab rely on transferring the risk of death while fishing in the arctic from myself to poor fishermen in Alaska? Doesn't any di

Eer, I don't get it, why wouldn't I want a 401k over a pension? You can't trust pensions. Companies can go bankrupt, and even governments have been going bankrupt and have renegotiated pension plans. I'd much rather slo

How much energy do you think went into "training" alphago? Not just electricity and server time to train it's neural networks, but the development team too.

Do I believe that? You phrased it in kind of a confusing way, can you refine it? If you're asking why I'm okay with Nguyen Dinh Phong being killed--- it's because I'm pretty okay with the justice that was delivered. More

I think there's a morality line here that @sandworm101 kind of misses. I'm pretty okay with eating domesticated animals. I was sad that I couldn't find horsemeat when I was in montreal. If dogs are raised for the slaughter,

My brother cut me a login to his Comcast Xfinity. I tried watching "The Magicians" on syfy.com--- and there's 100 seconds of ads, six times over a 45 minute show! It makes the cliffhangers and pauses even more obnoxious. I

In America, short-sighted means you think in the short term or don't think ahead. So a short-sighted person would accidentally double-book friday lunch, and is only focused on the current quarter's profits.

The "golly gee" isn't what I was going for--- I'm saying that if we're looking to help the poor, then we should help the poor, rather than the poor in region. But I am maybe trying to challenge people to come up wi

I agree that it's not bound to any political position, but it's more egregious with the left right now. Or possibly, based off of my media consumption, I only see the left's witchunts and I'm insulated from the right&#x2

I'm with you, the witchhunts need to end. Even if the bluetribe is correct in their beliefs, the mob action is not persuasive. I have less respect than ever for liberals because of this disrespectful way of handling public discourse.

by civilian 11y ago
Yup. We need to turn down our witchhunt culture and engage eachother with more open dialog and mutual respect. If someone holds a differing view, they often have a good reason for it. At the very least, people can get down to where their as

Yeah! It's why it's so weird to see politicians and their supports protest efforts to reduce trade tariffs. With more trade, we will be literally creating new wealth. It will be helping lower the cost of the related goods in the f

I really like parts of your post, but I need to call BS on the strength of "geography as destiny". I think I support something like a "weak geography as destiny". Like, I believe that China did have periods of peace tha
