Woah - I'd love to change the world (and why wouldn't you?) Then I lost your thread. Then I agreed with you, "we're terrible"

I would politely disagree (and happy to talk about it) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_ ... I think speech can definitely lead to violence - and speech can also counteract it. Neither directly, but the del

I upvoted (hopefully to preserve the OP) but don't think "It's a bad idea" If anybody from ycombinator is reading - it seems insane what a post can be down-voted into grey and then the void, whilst it has active commenta

I am so not a good example of anything. But genuinely do appreciate your reply - makes that little voice in my head feel "less alone" What was interesting/depressing was my "how about a creed" post was getting a f

I had a much longer response typed - but deleted it when it stopped even making sense to me. "white silence is violence" googles Still no idea how that could be applied to my post - but I am most definitely white, and after a bi

Was so lovely after reading the article, that the point that stuck with me, aligned with your comment right at the top. Maybe there's some sort of new "non-denominational creed" we could all sign up for. ~" We may not ag

I completely agree. The differentiator of "property" is that you're always going to need somewhere to live. If you have a whole portfolio then it's similar to any other bet/investment you might make on a share price

Well politely "I disagree" I moved to a lovely new town for my first IT job (I'm still there 20 years later). I initially rented for the couple of years and moved out when the landlord decided to sell - and he offered to sell

I was just thinking along similar lines. Article mentions in a few places that money could be saved - but lowering the cost doesn't seem to be the driver. Makes sense to me that if you're building the site as a hobby/practi

Well I think it's pretty simple - MLM companies contribute more in political funding, than than the perceived detrimental aspects of their business hurt the electoral prospects of our elected representatives. As a token example - http

Indeed. I have no sympathy for either side - but this analogy is ridiculous. Mainly as the counter argument is "Well the only reason our players have to enter your store at all, is because you make them. We'd be perfectly happy if

I quite like that idea. If you receive a dollar and pay tax on it due to the work you undertook to receive it, it gets 'refreshed' and increases in value. If you get a 'stale dollar' (e.g. gifted from a parent) it deprec

That did suddenly make me think. Normally we write in the hope that many will read and appreciate our output. At school many write, in the hope that just one will.

Would it be equally unethical to submit a paper that 'simply wasn't any good?' i.e. any academic who doesn't think a paper should be published, but submits it on the off-chance they think it might be?

I came away from that somewhat nonplussed. Think I've maybe used Zoom 3 times, but even I was mentally shouting answers to the rhetorical questions. "Well it does that because.." or "Well if it didn't do that, then

I think that makes sense. Always seemed strange that you wouldn't want to break the strange-hold on "setting up your company where the talent/expense" is. I'd have thought a decent model for something leaving incuba

But we've also developed distributed abilities with quite boggling amounts of specialization. If you chucked one random human on a desert island, they'd probably die. Chuck a dozen, they have a better chance of survival. Chuck a t

Vaping is far safer than smoking - and there are countless studies and piles of evidence that prove this. As evidence - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-le... Now, I'm not saying it&#

Largest pay rise I ever got, was when my employer accidentally published the "internal/official/never-published" salary for my role. Quick trip to HR brandishing a print-out, and I got a 25% bump within the week. Of cour

I've got to ask - why were you carrying both? What does one do, that the other couldn't? Is it something basic like touch? or something slightly more complex (but evidently do-able) like a detachable keyboard?

Not sure that's true. Domestic stuff is "light and fluffy" - basically breaks down the moment it hits water. Commercial stuff tends to be "dense" - reclaimed fibres glued together and compacted to fit the most on a

erm no.. that doesn't even make sense The reason everybody is panic buying toilet paper, is because they read the stories and they see the empty shelves in the shops. So they then maybe grab the odd extra pack when they see stock - and
