China doesn't have to do anything because they've convinced the world that per-capita matters. It doesn't matter. I'm also willing to bet China's population is smaller than they say. And I'd also bet their emis

Justine Sacco is such a sad story, but she is doing better now thankfully. Last I heard she was rehired by the company who fired her when she made the tweet.

I don't understand why you can't link to a single _existing_ alt-right subreddit. You keep referencing a single one that was purged years ago. You're claiming they're still on Reddit but using a long gone subreddit as pr

You don't think LeBron has any say in the teammates they sign? Tom Brady famously got Gronk out of retirement and Brown was on the team because of Brady despite having a horrible reputation and being essentially blacklisted from the NF

The thing about people is they'll whine and cry about how awful <anything> is but if it gives them convenient access to a dopamine hit they'll put up with whatever they're complaining about. Putting your money where you

This xkcd is the stupidest one in existence. I wish he would just delete it. I am sorry but you will never convince me that private companies should have more power than the government. It's such an idiotic premise on so many levels an

So because you don't have a use case for >250mbs down nobody has a use-case? I don't understand what your argument is.

It seems like the entire point of online communities are to gameify whatever the community is about. I noticed it around 2008 and its only been getting worse. Creating Internet points (likes, shares, retweets, karma, w/e the system) wa

I smoke weed 8 times a day and I smoke cannabis 8 times a day. Sounds the same to me. Why the hell would the word you use matter? Take your morals and shove them. Go look in the mirror and judge yourself if you want to judge somebody but le

If all anyone ever talks about is APIs in the web services sense then, yes, the definition of API has been narrowed. When everyone will assume you mean web services API when you refer to an API and have to use extra words to describe non-we

Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, I have no interest turning a Java GUI that's been working for 20 years into a React app. I probably have to admit I have a manager who doesn't really align with my needs. He's great at the busines

I hate this comment because it describes my workplace to a T. It's scary how accurate it is. So many fragile egos in high authority positions who can't admit they made a terrible decision 3 years ago and are still in denial and do

You're far from the only! I love programming and I'm more than happy to work with juniors and solve junior tasks. I feel like this industry puts so much pressure on people to be an engineer or an architect or something more than a

Sure, you can think that. I don't fault you. Musk is extremely childish at times and that's putting it lightly. It's his money to light on fire and his reputation to tarnish. I don't know why people get so miffed by him.

Blorgen is clearly an interpretation of something and a tangible piece of art. Psychic predictions are never psychic predictions because psychic predictions don't exist. Nobody in the universe can give you a psychic prediction.

I didn't beat anything into submission. I set ground rules and gave her safe ways to be upset. If she misbehaved she lost privileges she enjoys. I never neglected her if that's what you're trying to get at. That's a pret

Some of these dangers are relative though. A 6 foot fall for a toddler is probably not going to kill them but relative to the size of the kid it's a great height they can experiment with. A 10 foot drop for an 8 year old is a great hei
