The irony is, females/LGBTQ/race rights compromise, statistically, a large majority of the lower socio-economic class and are poorly educated (especially with regards to race). It's very perplexing that you make this conclusi

In most donations, you're donating to the product as a whole. There's no way to ever know where your money explicitly goes. At least I've never seen a charity operate that way. Even if you did donate to development, develop

If I was just starting out and I asked a question about how to loop a greeting message and it got downvoted almost 50 times, I'd feel like a piece of crap. So congrats, SO. You finally got your community. I'm honestly disappointed

Apparently. The author doesn't even seem to understand how all corporations have legally binding NDA's and intellectual property rights have changed since the 1960's.

That form of protection is an illusion. You can simply have the phone scan all your apps before download and install. No need for a store.

It honestly amazes me that people didn't think this wouldn't happen. When you have a company own a market, they simply dictate on a whim who gets access to it. It's the same with Steam. The more you move to the cloud, the mor

This is completely ignoring the fact that Chinese labor is significantly cheaper than the US as well as the standard of living. No amount of shipping is going to recover those costs unless you jack up the rates astronomically. Nearly all th

It's not direct. IBM was just an example to illustrate the point of what CBP is doing in terms of following a lineage of supporting mass atrocity, of which indefinitely detaining people in an inadequate facility is a mass atrocity. The

They were not expendable (although they could be). They were refurbished. However, because of splashdown, the damage from corrosion and the need to refurbish the rocket because it wasn't tanked, caused the cost to not be feasible.

I'd argue it was because of battery technology. There was a substantial advance at around 2004 by decreasing the diameter of lithium iron phosphate particles. This increased the capacity significantly of LIB's. Then you have a cou

Reusable rockets have existed for decades. The space shuttle program used reusable rockets. The DCX was a rocket that controlled similar to the falcon 9 in the 90's. The problem is, both programs were shelved in favor of cheaper, unman

Electric cars were not all but dead. They've actually been quite prevalent, it was just done largely pre-WWW so you didn't see a lot of the hype. It also wasn't that feasible because of the lack of technology. And since compa

Nobodies perfect. Not even Musk. So I suggest accepting both the faults and successes of the man as a complete package. Tesla is one of the many cases of Silicon Valley syndrome where you run a company at negative profit forever while claim

For someone who claims to be trying to tackle the misinterpretation of Damore, no where in the medium post you linked does it say what you claim it says. It doesn't compare CBP to the Holocaust. It sites the human rights abuses that

That's what he claims it was. He also posted it on an internally accessible mail list within the company. That's a very odd way to give feedback about a course. Usually you provide feedback directly to whoever is in charge of the

No. Why do you presume they don't apply their rules correctly? And what makes you think this isn't one of Google's rules? A diversity class usually means diversity in the sense of protected classes, not political opinions.

Only in some states is this legally protected. If a private company allows it, then there is no problem. However, most private companies don't allow political discussion and it's not illegal to control this unless you live in cert

Let me make my statement a little bit more clear. There is no federal law that prevents employer discrimination based on political beliefs. There are some states, specifically California in this case, that prevent employers from discriminat

In most states, political discussion in the work place is considered illegal. California has some odd laws though that protect people from this.

What I mean is the states that are overrepresented based on their population. In EC, every state, regardless of population gets 3 electoral votes. Meaning low population states get more say than they should because they get electoral votes

What's the point of having "cross regional appeal" if you are appealing to virtually no one? This isn't some discrimination thing. Those people can still vote. They just aren't given more representation than they de

I feel the same. The problem is, companies use this heightened productivity to pile on more and more work. So I struggle to get things done, even on time, when I'm context switching a lot. Part of this context switching is self-distrac

The Internet, at least in the US and probably the world, is not a public utility. It's run by a conglomerate of private corporations that have just as much rights as an individual, at least according to US law. Cloudflare is a CDN just
