Yes, you're naive. Maybe if your a worker on a factory line and only being paid to turn a wrench, then sure. But at tech firms, you're being paid to think.

> Why wasn't this the original way of doing things? Someone wanted to do a feature so they could get promoted. Probably with some mumbo jumbo about how it reduces the number of clicks to create a tweet and thus increases revenue.

Not to point out the obvious but by your own admission you're only getting 90% upload.

That's how I read the chart too. Though I don't know if those 4 represent all DSL providers.

Ok but if they lied about what they had the ability to offer, how do you interpret that as "not bad"? I don't care if they had good customer service, or were working on a shoestring budget. If they sold something they couldn&

Yes, thank you for saying so. People rarely understand that the coordination solution is one of the most important powers the government offers over privatization. They can tax/penalize undesired behavior. Individual companies may end

Aka "three card monte". People get tricked because they don't realize it's a team of people, not just one. And if you notice the trick? Well, they out number you. You probably won't win in a fight either.

This doesn't make sense. Consider right now, in the restaurant industry in the US. Resaurants are increasing their pay. These are for jobs like McDonalds. The kind of jobs that people always use to point out work that is trivial, and

That doesn't make a lot of sense. If they thought that they could take a golden exit, they wouldn't be continuing to setup the business again under new rules to avoid government scrutiny. They'd just take the money and disapp

I think this roughly answers a question that I've been wondering about: Why don't cyber criminals hack into the energy grid, water, or other utilities? Surely their cyber security is outdated right? Well, their cyber security may

This is it. Governments have cyber abilities that far outstrip individual organizations. And when cyber fails, there are still other diplomatic and less diplomatic tools. I wouldn't be surprised if the US Government here reached out

The car is a black box. Gas goes in, vroom comes out. If the box stops working, I pay someone to fix it. You might argue I'm not car literate, but I'm not sure that is particularly insightful, as the type of specialized knowledge

But isn't it though? Does someone literate in film need to make movies? Why can't someone be literate in tech without writing html?

Agree. Plus, anyone who has gotten into streaming knows that there is a learning curve which introduces the streamer to all sorts of hardware and software. The best streamers often invent specialized solutions for their needs.

I think you can't revoke your citizenship of a country, but the country probably can still choose to exile you. I imagine it's not done commonly though.

I think, expanding on this, it's important to note that persona-non-grata is given to a person who hasn't necessarily been accused of any crime. They just aren't welcome. In fact, a person who commits a crime might actually b

As an apex predator, we don't hunt other humans for food. I'm not sure why you think killing a human is the same as killing a chicken. We are hardwired as social animals to not kill our same species. It's the exact opposite o

If they aren't worth minimum wage, they wouldn't get hired to begin with. If they are worth hiring, they are worth minimum wage, even with supervision. You get what you pay for. Pay more money if you want more competent workers.

Sure you can. You can build up a tolerance, but most people are not mentally prepared to confront graphic violence . It takes months of hard training for soldiers to be prepared for confronting death. How is a school teacher going to fee

It's not evidence of absence. It's anecdotal that pedophiles existed before the internet had any photos of children. Increase of photos of children on the internet just means that more people are using the internet . You actual

The flu isn't a "mild illness" for everyone. Again, stop assuming that everyone is as healthy as you are. The flu kills many people every year.

One time I was really sick at an airport McDonalds. Fever, sneezing, the whole thing. But you're in an airport, and you have to eat something. I had to explain almost pedantically why they should allow me to order verbally instead of u

This is not computer science. I see nary a reference to data structures or algorithms, or math of any kind. These are all engineering concerns, not science.

I don't think it's right to argue that the internet creates pedophiles . After all, that largest known organization tied to sexual exploitation of children is.... the catholic church. And the abuse scandal goes back much farther

Don't even suggest it. Billions of people on earth consume pornography. If this theory was right, there should be billions of serial killers. And remember: in the 1970s, his "extreme pornography" would be something a lot more
