Legalities aside, how would you feel about refusing to work for poor pay/conditions if you knew for a fact that said decision would result in many deaths? Not a chance, not a speculation, but absolute awareness of the number of patient

Apologies for the confusion, my previous comment was not directed at you @usrn, but at downvoters not participating in this dialog. You may be correct that the topic is a bit of a dead horse. In my own experience, I find regulation is both

That's one approach. Regulation is another--we have regulatory models and regimes for broadcast television, radio, and newspaper. Social media is a bit more complex as it is both broadcast and at times bi-directional, but I suspect a l

I'd like to call out that individual responses to this don't matter. What matters is if Twitter remains a place for public discourse. So long as we allow public discourse to happen on private platforms that aren't held respon

This reflects my experience working with Ruby over the years as well. I find it a perfectly pleasant language, but as with many other scripting languages, things get difficult as a project increases in size, complexity, and number of contri

This is an interesting point! I think this really depends on what we, as a society, want to ensure we all have in common. If you identify as a US citizen, what do you have in common with your countrymen? Shared experiences and values can be

Is this a bad thing? The US was founded by immigrants. Immigration, diversity, and the US’ history with these topics (good and bad) is huge part of the national cultural identity. As a US citizen, I think as long as we can maintain the corn

Don't apologize for your questions! You're interviewing the company just as much as they're interviewing you and poor attitude in responding to such questions is a red flag IMO. That said, if you're worried about how you

Is there any reason why one couldn’t simply have blood as a kind of treatment? I’d certainly be happy to have blood drawn if it meant lowering blood toxicity I had no other way of treating.

DEFCON 27 had a talk on exactly this by Nina Kollars, which I suspect is where the Nespresso reference comes from. It's an excellent overview of the topic of triangle fraud. :) DEF CON 27 - Confessions of an Nespresso Money Mule Free S

I do the same, but this falls apart if you are expecting calls from numbers not known to you and missing them is painful. Some examples of this could include the IRS, your health insurance company, or a busy doctor's office. That said,

It depends. Some plants will break certain elements down into less toxic components. In the best case, the components are non-toxic and you can do whatever you want with it.

Nobody in any kind of profession are immune to scamming. People have bad days, you could be hit by a novel scam, or your accounts/systems could already be partially compromised—allowing an attacker more intel than you would expect them

Bacteria occasionally intermingle and swap DNA. Most such mutations are not viable, but occasionally you end up with the odd survivor. This gets more interesting with viruses in the mix. When two viruses infect the same host that later gene

I think OP was pointing out that this was an apple to oranges comparison—in that the comparison ends up being of little use due to poor rigor configuring each test case.

It should up to a point. A lot of high paying tech jobs are in regulated industries that sometimes have hard restrictions on who they're allowed to employ. For example, I know someone who works at Oracle Cloud and works on projects for

This really isn't too different than what is already done, but it does as you say add more layers of indirection. Consider: Prior to Docker, you'd typically go to AWS or a virtual host provider, spin up your OS of choice, install

My own employer, and many others, set their baseline salaries for each job title based off of industry payroll data they purchase from specialized consultancy firms. These datasets do not seem to have kept up with inflation, nor do they see

Doesn’t that answer my question, then? There’s nothing inherently wrong if not everyone can afford to live in desirable cities. This comes off as a bad faith counter-argument. AlotOfReading has explicitly stated he believ

I agree, but it's still problematic. A couple concerns off the top of my head: 1. This can impact behavior of the labor force despite lack of enforcement. Not everyone can afford to pay a lawyer to review their employment contract, and

This is probably one of the biggest reasons I'm unlikely to leave the state until other parts of the US make similar determinations. It boggles me that we allow employers to have so much control over an employees life after they have

This is something that’s fairly well known in cybersecurity circles. I have many colleagues with ADHD and Asperger’s. I’ve been told that both traits have a very high occurrence in cybersecurity professions even predating the pandemic.

I don’t really disagree with your statements, but I’d like to point out that: 1. Just because a large company does something does not make that thing safe or correct—especially when your risk appetite and attack surfaces are not the same. 2

That's what the research supports. People go out more and spend money more when the sun is up after the working day. Kids play more. People exercise more.

This feels a bit reductionist. Parent post specifically calls out state-sponsored actors. It's fine to expect and require doors, windows, and locks. It is not fine to expect a commercial business or individual to have their own tanks
