There are some people willing to go after a previous employer for treating them badly and other people who would rather let it go so as to not create a PR mess for yourself / when it comes to future jobs. Pao has a track record that sh

And I would imagine a bunch of child porn photos don't technically show anything illegal (nothing illegal about a child being naked on their own, what's illegal is the taking of the photos for sexual gratification - don't a

First, you're right that saying nobody was wrong - but I think very few people. Even you, do you really object to advertising, or just the way it's done online? If you get on a train do you hate the fact that there are adverts on

No he didn't say the total cost is lower, he said one side is lower and one higher. He was completely ambiguous (and I have no additional knowledge to add) about which cost changed more.

If you read the rest of my comment you'd see that I already mentioned people like you exist. For as long as advertising has existed, the people doing it have understood that not 100% of people seeing it will "convert". Regard

I don't entirely agree with the concept that it's a failed state, but the fact that it doesn't look like other "failed states" doesn't mean much. If two companies go out of business and one had a crazy employee

Not him but if I were my answer would be: not just a joke but a rather clever comment about the logic behind the idea that Greece would be more deserving of debt-forgiveness if they started a war on top of the current situation.

I don't have numbers but his point is that a per-dollar amount doesn't show how much a state is contributing at all. > If i put in 1k in federal taxes and get 800 back, what matter is it what state i'm in? Or are we sayin

What is wrong or subjective? Well we still don't actually know what's going to happen. Maybe all their debts will be forgiven tomorrow. Seems unlikely, but right now we don't know what's going to happen we just have a ra

It's still a recession until it hits 'zero' again, even if there is solid growth? E.g. if a country started with a GDP of 100, dropped to 10 in a single year, and then over the next 90 years grew its GDP by 1 each year, it wo

From a privacy point of view it's pretty much taking active "checking in" and making it automated. If you don't mind that then enable the feature in your Facebook app. If you do mind that, then don't (though I guess

The situation in the Netherlands is also a lot more complicated. Drugs are not largely legal at all, they're largely illegal. In fact, they're entirely illegal, there's just a gray area when it comes to a few soft drugs (pret

Is it possible the fancypants algorithm knows you better than you do, knows you will like that series if you watched 3 episodes instead of just the pilot, and is hoping you'll change your mind and listen to it?

Well it was a joke but also a numerically accurate joke - estimates are that roughly 6% of all humans ever born are alive today. See for example http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/07/world-population-ex...

I'm pretty sure he's thinking painkillers are classed as psychiatric drugs, which if they were would mean he was correct. But on your point, personally I think abuse of benzodiazepines is more likely to lead to a drug like Heroin

That's not the way my parent was talking about, nor something I'm aware of. What's very common is people getting prescribed painkillers (oxycodone, etc.) and then moving onto heroin, because they are similar drugs. But those

Not related to this article so you're right to call it out, but a side point: psychedelics are a class of psychiatric drug.

by corin_ 11y ago
Heroin (and prescribed opioids) are not psychiatric drugs, so while yes they are a big problem, they're not really relevant to whether psychiatric drugs are positive or negative.
