In two days, my facebook account will be gone for good. I plan on throwing a party!

The distaste is a black man who is a republican. That is all there is to it. Ask any non-white republican, and you will understand. The hate dished out towards us is on a level white republicans never see (not that they should... it's

Thomas isn't just ignored, he is actively campaigned against (As a person, rather than his views) and 'unpersoned'. For example, there is a wonderful PBS documentary, Clarence Thomas in his own words, that was removed from

> Could it be because black culture highly values sports and black kids tend to spend more time than the average kid playing sports due to parental or cultural influence? Americans love meritocracy and hard work when it comes to sports,

No. He's saying that the GPA in college doesn't matter, because he just asked his teacher to raise his grades, and that worked. Whereas his girlfriend was more intelligent by the SAT, but didn't realize this one simple trick.

For my first jobs out of college, I listed my SAT scores. EDIT: Don't understand the downvotes. I went to a top liberal arts college and they told us to, if it was over a certain number. It worked broadly speaking.

Comparing Kubernetes to type systems is like comparing a shack to a gothic cathedral. Type systems are incredibly stable. They have to be proved both sound and complete via meticulous argumentation. Once proven such, they work and their gua

No. It has to be in your same profession. So if you are fired from being a software engineer and that's how you make a living, the company cannot prevent you from doing software engineering wholesale. They can't even prevent you f

I'm not sure how I'm losing. My employers contribution plus mine is less than what I get out. Obviously, some healthy man or woman somewhere is making up for me, but that's the nature of insurance. Anyway, you said the system

Why is the solution to concentrate people into a small number of countries and waste all the land that they would normally live in. Contrary to popular belief, migration is not caused by climate, it's caused by culture.

What is broken about it really? Having been insured my whole life, I've never dealt with hospital issues, and we've had several major medical events (complicated pregnancies mainly, lots of time in the emergency room, etc). For th

But it's not hard. Look at the mormon exodus. Look at how minority religions have pooled money to buy large tracts of land and large temples. It's fairly easy for a group of people to do this.

that's the most it's enforceable to, in the worst possible case, for high-level employees. The vast majority of employees should ignore non-competes.

If the employee told the employer to stop contacting them, then yes, it would be harassment.

There should be a phone number you can call that basically tells you the answer as to whether you should apply for a job and ignore the non-compete. It could just be a pre-recorded message saying "Yes". No state is going to want t

My business law professor said to just ignore non-competes. Everyone knows the judge will toss it if it's preventing you from earning a living. Any state that allows non-competes has statutory provisions for earning a living. If not, t

Sure, but the difference is that... if that happens, I own the computers. They can take down my internet connection (although I have multiple colocation centers owned by different people... I guess I could go international if I really want

No I wouldn't. Google is not necessarily wrong here. The issue is that you cannot easily 'own' a part of the internet, despite much of our life playing out there. In the real world, if no one wants to host you and your group,

The reason a distinction is drawn is because government has more rules it must follow when interacting with the public than google. Non-governmental entities in the united states are less regulated than the government.

by iammisc 5y ago
In America you can count the number of public sector 'companies' on one hand but in others you cannot. And every once in a while, government does take over a company, like GM for a long time was a public company.

Well by all means regulate, but realistically, for example, if we had a Google Drive run by the 'other side' of the political aisle (kind of like Gab v Twitter), then if Google banned certain content, it's unlikely the other

Interesting article... The derivative problem is particularly enlightening I think. A derivative is a limit. Thus the answer you get for a derivative is also a limit. For example, if you have the real speed of a car at every point in time a

Except it makes total sense. There is a clear transition happening to non oil energy sources. Oil is a fungible good with alternate energies for many applications. It makes no sense to talk about peak oil if oil demand will soon greatly les

The key word is 'pretty close'. Firstly, if what I read is correct, it only impacted the mediterranean basin, whereas bronze age civilizations existed in China, India, and the Americas as well. As the article you linked points out

This is like how peak wheat has not been truly debunked because we now have GMO wheat and novel agricultural practices.

The part that I don't get about this is it rests on the narrative that such drastic societal collapse has happened on a grand scale. While small civilizations here and there have collapsed and political orders have gone away and been r
