The difference being that pro-gay activists are not doing any of the bad and absurd things that pro-trans activists are doing: attacking freedom of speech, denying the biological basis of sex in the ape species Homo sapiens, ending people

How would some middle- and upper middle classes making eco-friendly alterations to their lives prevent e.g. the destruction of south-eastern Amazonia for farming? The reason for my irritation is that I find your view complacent. A few afflu

Maybe you didn't mean to use that word but it's not about "explaining" them: you have to be able to write the code to solve a given problem, on the spot. The problem might require a familiar technique such as breadth-fir

It sort of sounds like you're resentful of the american engineer making $500k that you're replying to. But maybe the resent should be directed towards the executives and finance people in europe who make huge salaries just becaus

Doesn't it seem a bit old fashioned that venture capital should be geographically localized, as if it were a physical pile of gold? Is that not on its way out?

why does Europe not value engineers? Because the environment in the USA has created tech companies where engineers can achieve more?

I'm a bit confused about what you're saying. levels.fyi is accurate and there are plenty of remote jobs available. So the 300k+ salaries are certainly available from Boston. If you're not willing to prove that you can pass sy

This is the huge problem with the focus on climate change: a generation of “environmentalists” is growing up who don’t understand the importance and fragility of natural ecosystems and their organisms. Our primary objective is not to keep o

I don’t know what you’re trying to say but whatever it is, try saying it more clearly and succinctly, or desist. No it is not a perceptual/psychological problem: the problem is that humans are destroying natural habitat.

It’s certainly a beautiful call, especially on their breeding grounds. I recently spent a few days in a location in Wales where I would have expected them to be breeding 20 years ago and there was no sign now.

Is anyone able to comment on the extent to which Cloud Spanner and CockroachDB are in competition with each other? (CockroachDB is also wire-compatible with Postgres and originates as an implementation of something similar to Spanner)

In fact, the primary determinant of how X sounds to person A is the nature of X; otherwise we would be unable to use data to make inferences about the nature of our world.

There aren’t any names of people that have been canceled that are so infamous that every company will know who they are. I don’t think this post is true or at least not all of it is accurate.

The article is sexist pseudoscientific crap. It could maybe be mentioned in an article on Japanese culture but the article in its current form shouldn’t be on EN wikipedia. I edited the introduction accordingly on Wikipedia, although I susp

Has anyone here managed to reduce the frequency of waking to pee at night (e.g. by controlling liquid intake)? For me it’s 2 times/ night with difficulty going back to sleep so fairly huge disturbance.
