Please try to interpret my arguments charitably > Real wage growth (inflation adjusted) has grown about 14% over the past 30 years > your assessment of the situation is quite unfactual This, for example, is entirely uncalled for. Igno

I think giving me a charitable interpretation would be a good start. The origin of the phrase is lost in modern day culture and has a well understood meaning, and you denying me that makes it clear what kind of engagement you are looking fo

Let the market decide. Paying your employees better would be "trickle down economics" in actual action. If those employees decide to use it for philanthropy then the "trickle down" continues. Except "trickle down&

I think you are reading way too much into my satirical critique about the terrible "just a job" mindset (avoiding the obvious "I was just doing my job carrying out the Holocaust" analogy), which as a generally independen

I'd like to hire you for "just a job". I'm gonna make a big deal about how my company is "morally good" and "does no evil". Hitman OK? No? How about I hire you for janitorial duties at first, and slow

I think you're copy-pasting China's literal response into some hypothetical other culture that isn't being clearly explained, which isn't useful for those of us that can't read your mind. Concretely, the US CDC for

You can try to teach him a lesson. It probably won't stick. Taking the high road doesn't mean doing nothing. There are professional ways to handle the jerk's unprofessionalism. You can use this to grow yourself, rather than

The amazing community of TF2 is unmatched by Overwatch. From nope.avi to DWL1993's various remixes, they were an integral part of internet meme culture of the late 2000's and early 2010's.

Those gridded links remind me of the NeoPets site which would overlay a very busy "map" image with a tiny link, which would take you to a page with tons of powerful items. You used to be able to find the link with tab - the access

It's a shame you say "Mastodon" when we want to say "ActivityPub". Federating an RDF graph is powerful.

Some family members that once said "don't believe what you read on the internet" and resistent to the early internet are now some of the biggest sharers of hyperpartisan alarmism online.

I disagree: saying "we don't have data" [0] doesn't say anything about the existence or lack of existence of underlying models. Models are refined all the time to account for exceptions and transitions shown in empirical

Studies have repeatedly shown non-ionizing radiation has no long term health effects. As material science closes the tetrahertz gap, the longitudinal studies, by their very definition, take time to complete (longitudinal studies = exposing

Exactly, such people who do know would clearly understand my comments are around the allocations of 5G in the tetrahertz range, where the gap is shrinking, instead of uncharitably mischaracterizing my statements in the worst possible light

When people plain-language declare things as "safe" or "unsafe" it's clear they don't have a background in technical risk assessment. When people call 5G "safe" or "unsafe", it's clear

Isn't this solved by HTTP-Signatures, which is a draft RFC? I guess not, as there's no way to forward that signature to a third party without some imposter-ing, depending on the HTTP headers that were signed.
