Probably not a ton. I used to donate plasma every Friday for some beer money. I'd normally get 15-30 dollars. That number was higher than most as well, because I got paid extra due to receiving various vaccinations in the military.

Free speech isn't something that was created by the US Constitution, it's a right that everyone has by default. It doesn't matter if it's a private company or a government, restricting what people are allowed to say is

The difference is that it's an American movie with an American bad guy. Take a look at the Chinese movie poster for "The Force Awakens", they minimized the presence of the black character because they knew he wouldn't b

You have to ensure you keep your business code separate from the Qt code. It's extra work that people might not want to deal with when they are more comfortable with other options that don't require special care.

We've got hate crime laws even though we already have murder, assault and harrasment laws. Might just be another way of tacking on extra punishment due to the nature of the crime.

I've seen the ego issue pop up a lot in some communities. The biggest example I can think of is the OpenBSD mailing list. Any time I'd see an outsider bring up Rust or other safer languages, the overwhelming sentiment is that la

Probably on your back, and have it lay flat when not in use. That way you could carry things in front of you, and use the third arm to carry additional stuff as a counterbalance.

There's a startup, I believe it's in Japan, that is working on this. Basically you'd have generic looking prosthetic humans at popular tourist locations, and you could pay to rent them for a set amount of time, remotely cont

I personally think that prosthetics and mechanical augmentation will become commonplace in the future. Humans are smart enough to create tools that allow us to surive where we normally couldn't, I don't see why we wouldn't e

There's a driver for Amazon that regularly delivers packages to my house that reek of cigarette smoke, to the point that I have to open it outside and throw the box away to keep my house from stinking. I'm in the same boat as you

Just like you can decide what is shown on your screen, they can decide to not let freeloaders use their service. You always have the option of paying for a subscription if having full control over what is shown on your screen is that impor

For the most part, people trust their state and local governments, but distrust the federal government; state politicians are commonly re-elected until they choose to retire. I think it's because the country is so large and diverse th

Forcing people to use a native app means they can inject ads without having to worry about being blocked by a browser extension.

One reason is because setting it to a random high port allows non-root users to turn on the SSH server if the admin turned it off. Probably not super likely to happen, but it's possible.

Another advantage was that the AI is just reading the game state through an API, it doesn't have to look on the screen. The game can be difficult to watch from a pro's perspective since they have to constantly click around the ma

I'd prefer a local or self-hosted product because when the innevitable "incredible journey" blog post comes out, I don't want to have to try and migrate everything to a new service. If I've paid for a product, I ca

I had the same experience when I first started working remotely, I would go a couple of days in a row without talking to anybody at work because everyone had there own thing they were working on. Another coworker left his remote job after

IIRC, he used that word specifically because he knew they were racists, so he deliberatley used a slur he knew they'd hate. It'd be like him referring to communists as capitalist pigs. He may not have a problem with capitalism,

They actually had a new game, Artifact, come out the end of November. It didn't have a good reception, mostly due to unrealistic expectations set by people in the beta, but they've commited to supporting and improving it for a lo

My wife had the same experience teaching at a CC. The school accepted anybody who applied, and they pressured professors to pass everyone regardless of their grades because they just wanted the tuition money. She stopped teaching there af

The author accidentally scheduled it to be published on the 5th instead of the 8th, and wordpress automatically publishes things if the date they are scheduled to be published is in the past.

Overall I agree with the article, and would gladly trade my high paying job for one that I actually enjoy, as long as I could be sure that I can make ends meet. The one disagreement I have is the assertion that we should be happy making &q

IIRC, self propelled bullets were tried before, and they found that the amount of propellant that can be held in the bullet is so low that it severely limits the velocity of the rounds.

"Suspiciously low tweet/follower count" seems like an awfully low bar to set for claiming that it's a bunch of bot accounts. Not everyone spends their life making posts on social media.

The lack of ability to do anything about it is probably why you don't hear much about it, but a lot of the people who were affected by it are still salty. One thing that you didn't mention though, is that the info included a ton
