I'm not sure why this is being downvoted--I mean, it seems like a relevant comment to me. People who skim credit cards at gas stations obviously try to use them quickly for some easy gain before going out and buying a $5000 tv. Movie

I go to movies during off times--like take part of a day off and go during the day. A couple of times, I was the only one in the theater!

When my credit card got stolen last week, Moviepass was one of the items purchased with it.

Shut your mouth--I can't keep charging $250/hr. unless people BELIEVE! But seriously, I just came off a project last year that used Hadoop "because" and for no other discernible reason. I personally did a ton of studyin

I passed up a job there when they were opening up for the first time. That's life.

There is a lot of question about whether Amazon's astronomical PE is warranted as well.

(1) Secret ballots are important so your union rep doesn't come by with his buddies and beat you senseless for not voting as your were instructed to. (2) Tyranny of the majority is a living hell.

That's total out and out bullshit and I'm surprised anyone dared post that on here. We're intelligent people you know and the "Muh Russia" narrative is not only dead, it is also buried. It was an out and out lie t

Also, you can't just stuff a ballot box--the number of people voting has to match the count of registered voters, so if you are stuffing you have the problem of also dealing with somehow getting rid of the legitimate ballots.

I think decent paper ballots combined with machine counting, combined with voter ID verification (yes, I went there), combined with some kind of reliability program for poll workers would be a full spectrum kind of solution. It's not

I'm just curious how much money you have made with that technique? Most places I have worked that pay anything decent don't host public code on github. It seems like great advice until I stopped and thought about it and realized

What I have seen is that devs start fulltime at the office and as they gain experience at the company and the trust level builds, then they start working remotely a couple days a week. Some people become indispensible and then want to move

by justadeveloper2 9y ago
I had hoped that by now a lot more developer jobs would become remote because why not? Everyone commuting is wasting a lot of resources for dubious value. But instead, I have seen remoting as counter to the trend--managers want dev teams

The Internet has a lot of dead wood and garbage these days.

Yes. There's no bargaining with communists, there is only wiping them from the earth.

Sad the world we live in. We need the world to reach for Western standards of openness, freedom, and dignity and put people before profits. Instead, I see us altering our way of life to the least common denominator of state coercion.

It's easier to rule over people who live in fear, so just make more things illegal, process people through the system, and you get your total state without anyone raising an eyebrow.

Uh, no you don't. A lot of cases get plead down and the cops/DAs are lazy and often don't charge people with crimes they're not sure they can successfully prosecute. That's why there's so many "non-viole

As someone who broke a whole lot of laws in his late teens and got off pretty easy for all of it, I wholeheartedly agree. They could have thrown the book at me but they didn't. Also, it helps if you don't confess to anything and

Meh, you gotta do what you gotta do. You think for one second that if I had my license revoked that I wouldn't drive to get to work to support my family? You're a statist if you think driver's licenses prove you are a good

For whatever reason, when I think of Norway, I don't imagine hard-working blue collar type people who work out in the cold or need to get to work in sub-zero temps the way we do here in the northern US states and Alaska. I'm sure

Exactly--completely impractical for a lot of areas of the US. Just drive across Montana and then get back to me. I swear that most people never leave a major city their wholes lives! Parts of the US are tough on conventional vehicles and

Except nobody was "investing" (speculating) on GNU Herd. It should give a lot of people pause that Bitcoin can just suddenly split like this. What's to stop it from being split again and again?

New Zealand famously rolled back their welfare state and saw success in doing so. I think they have slid some since then, but it's worth noting.

Well, because when they come knocking at your door to carry you off you get to shoot one or two before they kill you. Those one or two will not make it to the next house. Do you understand how this disincentive works now?

There was no capitalism involved in 2008 & 2009. If we had a real market system, those big banks that were levered 100:1 would all be gone, their billionaire CEOs would be broke. No, we NEED that kind of accountability and we don&#x27

I heard Bernie Sanders on NPR talking up single payer--he only touts the positives while completely ignoring the huge increase in taxes that will be required to pay for it. I think of Europe and slowly failing because of their socialism an

The thing I see failing within socialism is individual work effort--everyone comes to believe that work is someone else's deal and not theirs or they become discouraged by the high taxes and simply go Gault. Then the crackdowns begin,

It's South America. I figure there's a ton of corruption and just plain stupidity. Look at how China runs things--they don't fix anything, they just build stuff and let if fall apart. It's a different way of thinking.

It's not that huge--just compare what is illegal in NY State versus most of the others. The discrepancies are rising even in the US and our freedoms are being hemmed in more and more each go around. All because people believe the lie
