I can't even understand why this was even still up for debate - 5th amendment allows you to not incriminate yourself - being forced to give up your passcode is no different then being forced to give up any secrets you might have. Not s

I am not asserting anything Japan is asserting that they have no idea what the problem is, or why it is happening, but after zero investigating, have asserted them dumping radiation into the ocean is not the cause - without any proof.

which claim was made? the only claim I see is Japan asserting that it has nothing to do with the radioactive waste they are dumping into the ocean - I say the burden of proof is on them, since that is the claim they are making.

Please explain to someone that has never seen a melanoma - this person had a single 'mole-like' mark on his neck (presumably small?), and that alone killed him? or was it 'mole-like' and eventually got so big that it kil

same here. - I don't live far from you, in a town of less than 1000 people - and more than 40 miles from even a modest-sized city - and we now have 1GB symmetrical fiber-to-the-home for less than $100/month - and it hasn't go

we will have to agree to disagree - perhaps distasteful, but a generation may need to be sacrificed in order to get lasting peace - just like was done in germany and japan during ww2. Did lots of non-combatants die? without a doubt. Is it s

Before starlink my only option was 3MB DSL from Verizon, it was literally life changing as a WFH person to get the 100-200Mbps downloads that Starlink gave me (for $99/month). Fast forward and now I have 1GB symmetrical fiber-to-the-ho

grinding them into the dust was not a 'small part of the reason', it was the only reason it worked in the first place. What do you think would have happened had the allies given billions of dollars in aid to Germany while the Na

the comment I was responding to was claiming that severance works better/is more generous in the EU - and presumably France based on the username - and almost across the board salaries in France are 1/2 to 1/3 what they are i

by ejb999 3y ago
in this case what does 'solidarity' mean? Are you personally willing to work for 1/2 or 1/3 the pay you receive, so that if you ever get laid off you have a slightly better severance package? I am not. I would rather get

average programmer salary in the USA ~$110K, average programmer salary in France ~$43K, Germany: $52K, UK: $55K etc. Yea, I am OK with the American model.

never bought that line either, though its often repeated as gospel. Sure, some big employers own the buildings and care about the value, but many are just leasing their space - and a typical profit-driven corporation, if they could just dum

and for most of history, most people had to live where most of the jobs were - a large % of people no longer need to do that. If you had to work in the city, buying dirt cheap land a hundred miles away didn't work - now it can for some

face it - no matter where you leave from, or why you leave, your successors will almost certainly blame you for anything goes wrong in the first few months after you leave - you can't worry about it, because there is nothing you can do
