Based on my last job search, smaller companies just aren't paying salaries that are going to attract well rounded full stack engineers.

Yes, the power will go out and in a matter of just a few days we will be overthrowing our leadership. Lol.

Well you do have to acknowledge that you cannot control whether someone does a slash and burn or not, while vaping is something you choose to do. I largely agree with you though. I spent some time in Beijing, and within an hour of getting o

Sometimes the point isn't to convince the person you are discussing with, it's for the benefit other observers. So if I see someone comment something that is factually wrong I'll often correct it and just leave it at that, no

Yeah it sure would be awful if that happened to anyone. Imagine joining a company that claims to help the world and instead you design unbelievable tracking and surveillance systems. Ha ha. Ha. sobs

> Social scientists pushed to be put on the same level as natural scientists, but then they pushed a bunch of politicized bullshit and tarnished the reputation of all scientists in the public's eye. I largely agree with this, but I

I am not saying that criticism of gender studies is absurd, I am saying that conflating climate science with gender studies is absurd. The validity of the social sciences as "real science" has long been in question, long before th

This is true of all translation I think. Apart from the simplest of sentences, there is usually more than one way to phrase something. Different styles of translation account for this differently, e.g. some seek to make literal word for wor

Depends on the translation you're reading. The original texts are in Hebrew and Greek so everything we read is a translation. You probably read the English KJV version, which was translated in 1611 and is thus the English of that time.

We can sequence its DNA and see how similar it is to the ones on Earth. If there are living organisms on the moon that share a common ancestor with Earth tardigrades then they diverged a very long time ago and their DNA will reflect that. B

It should be noted that their findings come entirely from a model they built, and the model was built using existing purchase data. They did no empirical work to verify the model results.

This is true of most news sites that report on things like this. I remember an article a few months back about the proliferation of Facebook trackers and how it is a bad thing. The article itself had a Facebook pixel tracker on it. The auth

You're ignoring much of the story, such as the part where they ignored the issue for months and then released a patch that they were told is ineffective. So yes, we all make mistakes, and we should fix them promptly and correctly. Zoom

I think it's possible that the author doesn't even know this. Does BuzzFeed have an interface where a user can go to see this information? The level of understanding that most people have about online tracking is just really, real

I've been saying that Facebook would do these things since around 2008. And now you're here telling me I'm part of some fear mongering campaing orchestrated by the US government. That's beyond absurd.
