Correct, the US is the richest country on earth. In the rest of the world Androids are more popular. I guarantee you that if most of your friends have iPhones, your friends' incomes are probably on the higher end, statistically. Don&#x

Good job signaling that both you and your social circles have a certain degree of affluence. I live in the SFBA, hang out with people at all income levels, and I'd say over 70% use Android. Among richer people it's more 50-50. It&

Yes, it's probably not illegal, but it should still cause the exec to be fired.

correct! I believe that the only groups it is moral to care about are: * people you love, care about, or otherwise know socially * groups that are oppressed along some axis * all of humanity

If there are homes that are vacant and people that are living on the streets at the same time, that's an inherently unjust situation I think.

Because I am a committed internationalist and believe that national borders are the greatest moral atrocity that exists today.

American billionaires dont pay much taxes either. The solution to this is to fix the tax code, not retreat further into nationalism.

by damnyou 7y ago
Why should different rules apply to foreigners in this context? An American billionaire buying a few condos and keeping them empty has the exact same effect as a Chinese billionaire doing so. Rules around vacant homes are good, though, and

Rust trades off compile time performance for runtime correctness and performance. Far more people run code than compile it.

Not the GP but I use Linux and Android primarily because they're more convenient (to me at least). I'm philosophically aligned with Linux but not with Android.

Create a standard. Release it as royalty free. Contribute implementations to open source. The way it's been done for decades.

So, not seamless if you use Android, Windows, Linux, a Mac laptop and an iPad like I do.

That would seem to completely disallow any compatibility layers, which seems like a bad outcome. Unless you had some sort of solution in mind for that? I agree that the error message sucks, for what it's worth.

by damnyou 7y ago
Do you mean passing a struct from e.g. clap 2 into clap 3? Yeah that won't work directly, nor should it in my opinion. If it is frequently required, projects can and should provide a compatibility layer which does any necessary conver

by damnyou 7y ago
Only incompatible versions though — Rust dedups dependencies up to semver compatibility. I think that's the right balance. clap 3 is and should be treated as a totally different package from clap 2.

There's a greater concentration of lesbians and other queer (not cis gay) people in the East Bay — especially those in families, raising kids and so on.

Doing capitalism better is the least interesting way to find fulfilment. Find a partner and build a family instead. Or find a hobby. I know because my thoughts used to be very similar to yours.

While you may or may not care about politics, if you are a member of certain groups politics cares about you. That is the unfortunate reality of the world we live in. However, I agree with Perens that licenses are the wrong vehicle for chan

Of course, antibiotics are special because of their externalities. I'm taking about stuff like modafinil, for example.

I have serious medical needs and have built long-term relationships with a couple specific doctors at One Medical. Works very well for me — I see my doctors for specialist-y things and a random doctor if it's more urgent.

The most important thing to me is an understanding that the patient is in charge of their health and the doctor's just there to support the patient. For example, if a patient is already on meds from an online pharmacy, the doctor (afte

Sure, that sounds reasonable to me.

I think the CoC was badly structured and agree that Monica isn't at fault, for context. I think that it was quite appropriate to fire some other moderators though, like the one for the Christianity SE who point blank refused to gender

Yes, you are technically free to call people jerks as long as you are OK with the consequences, which may include getting fired. The government cannot put filters in front of people's mouths, thankfully. Repeated and intentional misgen

To be clear, we are talking about professional settings here. No one is taking away your right to misgender someone at a bar (even though you'd be a giant asshole for doing so). A professional setting like Stack Exchange or a workplace

by damnyou 7y ago
You are in fact not free to call people jerks in a professional context.

by damnyou 7y ago
There absolutely is a right to be treated with respect in professional settings. Part of respecting people is using the names and pronouns they ask you to use.

For many people it in fact is not a choice — other employers reject them based on how they look, or very often what gender they were assigned at birth. Even for those that it is, sex work tends to pay much better than most other choices — t

It's a really big deal to my sex worker friends, and what they experience absolutely is oppression.

Sweden is, of course, infamous in the sex worker community for having its name attached to one of the more harmful forms of anti-sex work laws: https://medium.com/@aleknielsen/nordic-model-the-ongoing-cri... There are
