The target of this service is very much NOT people who would know how to use IRC and know where to go on IRC to ask a question, nor is the type of question which this service is aiming to answer easy to ask over text.

Why wouldn't a papaya be safe? Everything I've seen says that the seeds are always edible.

The problem isn't ageism, the problem is capitalism. For a long period of time in the (not too distant) past, one of the the main purposes of a company was to pay employees. Corporations in the U.S. have continually shifted goals to

The feature I'd be looking for in this is to be able to recursively scrape for contact information (email, phone number, etc.)... that doesn't seem possible with this?

Its not the same warranty with most brands - my current car has a 4-year warranty for almost everything (excludes tires and a few other things that are always excluded), whereas the similar pre-owned models have a 4-year that only covers th

Sorry for repeating a shameless plug (I posted elsewhere on this thread), but if you're interested in these cameras, but with cloud storage and more reliability, my company uses extremely similar cameras to this (we run our own softwar

I'm an engineer, so I'm not the best at explaining how pricing works for larger companies, but most customers do not pay msrp. Our 30-day plan is $20/month msrp whereas Nest is $30/month. (Your Nest pricing is not curren

I'm really having a hard time understanding what their target market is here. Most home users aren't going to pay full retail for cameras, hire a professional installer to put 1-4 cameras outside, then pay for cloud storage... or

I agree on confirmation bias, but the actual correlation appears to be that people from more wealthy backgrounds tend to do better in interviews. Anyone who uses MacOS (ie. can afford a MacBook Pro) to work on has to have enough money to bu

Is it common that employers pay 100% of healthcare costs? I've never heard of a company doing that outside of big tech companies. I work at a startup and for us its about 50/50 employer/employee contribution, which is simila

I find their methodology to be seriously flawed. It doesn't matter what dataset you are using to base it off of, if you think that the average person pays $1,263 per year in total healthcare costs you're crazy. I'm paying so

IANAL, but he should have revised his damages for the second case to account for his expenses, including time. He probably could have won closer to $6000 without a problem. The author comes off as deeply uninformed about how legal proceedi

That was my reaction also. If a junior engineer asked me to review that code, I would ask them to refactor in a way that is more maintainable.

It is very hard to find the right place to straddle the line of interpreting and explaining the sources for your reader, but not sounding condescending. The author, in this case, likely chose a tone she thought would resonate with male eng

This just feels to me like one of those things that seems great on paper, then in practice requires a lot of things to line up to work as intended (like Communism?). I also really dislike the fact that the language used would be very hard t

Love the concept, but I can't see this as useful as an App, since pretty much every use case I can think of I'd want to be at my computer for. I also find it kind of amusing that you're advertising esports advice from a woman

Shuttles are a weird area even in the U.S. - When I worked as a contractor at Google I was required to pay for shuttle use since Google couldn't write off benefits provided to non-employees.
