Very good point. For some reason my brain equates a beater with an old or abused sedan. Seeing a beat up truck makes me think the truck was used well vs a beat up sedan that was not taken care of. My bias showing through, sorry!

CNN absolutely has control. CNN could vote with their dollars and use a different ad platform.

Fair point, but renting a vehicle most weekends could easily make owning more cost effective.

Other people want or need vehicles that offer more than a conveyance of themselves: Kids, gear, livestock, boats, ATVs, lumber, etc. It's easy to own a 'beater' if you only use it to drive from your house to your job, to the

I'm curious about this mindset - it seems like you object to eating animals because they lack a choice. Do you have any problem with wild animals eating other wild animals (who presumably also have less of a choice)? I'm not tryin

Your comment is much more polite than my knee-jerk reaction was going to be. I am thankful you made it before I made a poor comment. I have no problem recognizing climate change and the impact humanity has had on climate change, but for som

I share your sentiment. I worked for a company that leased an old Sun building - all of the engineers got a private office. Three solid walls (unfortunately exterior windows were limited) and one entire wall was glass and frosted between kn

I think the parent means that something like "flipping burgers" or "mopping the floor" will still need to be done - but it will not pay enough to sustain a person, or that it will cost more than the value received for th

I think it's trying to drive home the point that even if you win some amount of money, it can be misleading - $1000 is less than $1000 after taxes.

The biggest complaint that I have is that Docker is a huge leaky abstraction. I end up having to mess with a lot of stuff in order to get docker, docker-compose, etc. all working Just Right®. It saves time, but it's very, very leaky, w

Of the 12ish folks I know that have the new keyboards (I am not one of them), none of them have complained about keyboard issues. We're just comparing anecdotes of course; it would be very difficult for anyone outside of Apple to know

It's not just 'a space bar fix'. It's a key on a highly specialized keyboard. A MBP is the same price as N Chrome books but they aren't in the same ballpark in terms of functionality.

I generally understand ethics to be relating to societal principals, whereas morals is more personal. It might be against a persons morals to violate their own principals (but maybe not, too).

Your attitude (if not sarcastic, maybe I missed the clues) makes me think you have not ever worked at a large company or on software that is more complex than a CRUD application.
