It seems you’re relocating on principle, and the principle is: you deserve the majority of your company’s profits for yourself. There are other principles you could apply, though. For example, placing even a very small weighting on overall

Outrage is a problem, but I don't think it's just (social) media that are responsible. The article says that things are better than they were 100 years ago, but politically speaking I'm pretty sure they're not better tha

In general, this is also my feeling about ORMs. I'm not sure of the best options in Python, but for TypeScript this article has a very helpful section on query builders: https://phiresky.github.io/blog/2020/sq

Perhaps because you can buy a separate numpad if you want one, and then have the best of both worlds: both a numpad and a centered keyboard?

Right — and it could perhaps default itself to the date you joined, since that's a moment when it seems likely you liked what was on offer.

So the really hard right is diminished, but that's arguably because the pretty hard right took on its rhetoric on immigration and is currently in power.

I'm in the UK, so you got me: it seems I take a somewhat self-interested view on human rights! More seriously, though, the UK used to be a major world advocate for human rights, so UK human rights going down the pan probably isn't

I already wrote a lengthy reply to one of your other comments. I don't have the time or energy to write a detailed rebuttal to this one, and I'm beginning to wonder whether you're arguing in good faith. But on your WW2 point,

OK, so the problem is that I find it basically impossible to understand how a well-informed and rational person could come to the conclusions you've come to. The EU isn't perfect, but you'll struggle to argue that it hasn&#x2

In the educational setting, this is a massive effect. If I offer students feedback slots they can book, generally a majority will book a slot, and around 90% of those will turn up. If I just offer times they can drop in for feedback, I get

Every time I read anything about US healthcare I find it incredible that everyone there isn’t demonstrating in the streets every day to get it changed. This is a thread is from 2019, when I accidentally discovered how much Americans might p

I think I disagree. When someone breaks a key moral principle — let’s say they are a murderer – we don’t spend time discussing how they are also good to animals or make a mean chilli. That doesn’t offset their transgression, so it becomes e

The cry is unfortunately not always true. The urgency for me was making my TB3 Dock work properly with a 2020 MBP (which Big Sur has done).

I can’t tell from the homepage, but perhaps it supports SHA256? Google Authenticator on Android (but not, weirdly, on iOS) pretends to be fine with SHA256 but then goes ahead and uses SHA1, and thus generates wrong codes.

Especially in a geographically pretty small country like the UK, NIMBY (or indeed anyone else's back yard) may be a perfectly valid argument. These things are big and somewhat noisy.

Wholly subjective, but I agree: a few weeks in and I still really don't like it. I particularly dislike the way menus look now. Horizontal margins (there and elsewhere) seem to have been shrunk in a way that to me looks mean and unbala

Don't mention nuclear on HN if you value your karma ... but in the UK, at least, civilian and military nuclear have never really been independent. See, for example, the UK government's otherwise incomprehensible willingness to pay
