> Police there recently announced that walking dogs in parks was a crime. The ban was justified as a measure to "protect the safety of the public". Sounds like it’s already happening; that was in the first paragraph of the arti

That’s pretty funny. Not that the restaurants deserve to be stolen from, but using the default password on an EMV is about as foolish as a restaurant leaving their registers open. I’m surprised the terminals don’t force you to at least set

The commenter wasn’t providing an explanation on how the kiosk works, they were giving a criticism of the tone and usefulness of the article. I thought their level of detail in their critique was perfectly appropriate.

Well said. Managing engineers is an incredibly difficult and multi-variable challenge - companies have been trying different approaches for nearly a century now. We like to imagine as software developers our management problems are unique a

Very true. But if they’re morbidly obese as it is, it’s pretty likely they have a brain chemistry which responds very positively to sugary drinks, so without the diet soda it’s possible their health would be even worse. I’ve never met an ob

Snap placed a risky bet on the Spotlight feature, going so far as paying out millions to the most popular creators, but when push came to shove, all the same content (and better) was available on TikTok.

The notion which myself and others have problem with is that the US Federal Govt and the CCP are entities which we should be treating with a similar level of trust and care. The CCP has proven time and time again, be it from their refusal t

I don't think it's against the rules at all; we had a thread a couple weeks ago which ended up being mostly in German. We native speakers enjoy the privilege of reading English nearly every where we go online, it should be no skin

Of course they can, I don't see anyone debating that point. Dr. Makary actually spent part of his career working _against_ profit-seeking doctors and predatory hospitals. I'm not sure why you're bringing that up in the first

Sounds to me like a _lot_ less than the most popular console for young people these days, the Nintendo Switch. You can get a used one for $200, I see kids on the subway close to the poverty line who scrounged the money together for one. Per

_sigh_ Do Americans really go and check which team a doctor plays for before deciding whether to take their recommendations seriously? If he was affiliated with a Democratic governor, somehow I don't think it would be brought up with t

To me, disrespecting you is any behaviour which _I_ find disrespectful. If I was mistaken, I'd apologize. I can't control how you feel, burrows, I can only control what I say.

In Hebrew culture, it is considered important to remove part of the genitals of an infant boy in a long and bloody ceremony. Personally I'd never subjugate myself or my kin to it, but I know plenty of Jewish people and have never tried

When you say non-Western, you really do mean non-White, correct? I feel as if there's a racial bush being beaten around here that one may as well go and point out. The point I think you're trying to make is that different rules ap

I’ve heard the power dynamics argument before and admittedly it’s never held much weight for me. There are just too many edge cases for a heuristic like that to make any sense, in my mind. So culturally powerless people may extract from cul

I was about to make the rsync/Dropbox comparison. As someone who has little real interest in mushroom cultivation but a love for charming desk objects, if someone bought me this as a gift I’d love it.

Slightly controversial, but I think most companies could cut the fat from their talent team by 30% and their hiring pipeline would not change. I’ve seen firsthand how a lot of recruiters operate and it’s remarkable how inefficient they can

They aren’t cheering because he’s in pain, they’re cheering because he’s trying to break a world record and they want to encourage him to power through, despite said pain. Yours is a very cynical reading of the situation, I think :)

I've always wondered what narrative Bo is actually referring to here, I feel like the joke's maybe 25 years too late. What's the classist big lie that kids are learning these days? I'm sure it varies around the nation, b

To your last point, are most American shows aired in Quebec translated into Quebecois French? I’m from Ontario and had no idea, I always assumed they watched the France version. That’s very fascinating!

That's a good analogue, maybe the OP will find some wisdom in what you wrote. Personally though, after reading her responses, I think she's just here to argue. Maybe a cat would be a better option after all :)

With regards to your music library, how do you listen to your music on the go? I tried the self-hosted setup maybe 8 years ago and couldn't find a reliable way to stream to an iOS device. Is that something you've looked into?
