That is completing actual tasks for the company. You are effectively acting as a consultant for them. And I have heard of a number of cases of people actually coming back to fix something briefly, which is even further in that direction.

Sorry, that was a bit rude and pointless. I apologize. I am just frustrated that your comments all over this thread are suggesting that people should take up arms and violently overthrow their governments in Venezuela and Russia, but you ar

Calling repeatedly for violent revolution isn't HN-caliber certainly but that hasn't stopped you from doing it all over this thread. <- This is whataboutism by the way.

OP's comment is not whataboutism. It's simply pointing out that this is not the principled stand it is masquerading as. If this action was strictly about countries waging unprovoked wars heavily laden with war crimes, the US would

I don't know how to respond to this because you are responding to the particulars of this decision (which aren't relevant to people that don't live in Russia) without looking at what it represents. NC's willingness to do

I can only comment for myself, but as a long time NC customer, this action and the behavior of the CEO in this thread has seriously damaged my ability to trust in the brand. The only redeeming bit of trust remaining is that they are too sel

I have been a (US, before you accuse me of being Russian like you have done elsewhere in the thread) Namecheap customer for years, and have urged at least a dozen others to use your service. I won't be doing that in the future, your re

Percentages are useful because they communicate scale without deep context. Who knows what we are talking about at all with regard to 0.0015? What units are we using? Most people don't have the context necessary to evaluate what it mea

The point of reducing your consumption is that the demand for animals is lower, so they aren't born in to lives of non-stop suffering.

No, but we will likely see fewer people coming forward about being raped if they are know that their rape kit can and will be used against them in the future. The SFPD's mistake here is allowing the db of victim DNA from rape kits to e

There is no downside in my opinion to learning a bit of OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, and Blender and reaching for the right tool when you need it. Personally, I have found the UI/UX of FreeCAD painful to use, but it is sufficient for most of my

It's relevant because considering what other people/places consider normal allows you to recontextualize and examine the frame you are in. The idea that IDs should be required for voting is only a hyper-politicized issue focused o
