I guess I think rights go hand in hand with duties and responsibilities, including one's duty to other humans, and the responsibility of the government to act on behalf of the governed for the common welfare.

It's not about rights, it's about public safety. I don't have an inherent natural human right to have people obey traffic laws, but they save lives and a majority of people support them. And more then 2/3s of parents i

I think that's because that encourages people to assess the issue for their children, but really vaccines aren't just for your kid, they provide herd immunity that saves the lives of newborns, the immunocompromised like children o

Seems like internet access might be an issue.

fwiw the lounge access on the CSR card is nowhere as good as the amex, as you have to pay for anyone travelling with you. The CSR is comparable, but there are definitely trade offs.

You are right that many poor people have cell phones, but as of 4 years ago, a majority of them had computers, and I expect that number has and will continue to rise. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-

Social skills are skills, not talents, and develop with practice. That said, be a boss, a CTO, or technical founder. Engineers are well paid professionals, but as with any high paid profession, you make a lot more owning your own company

hmm... doesn't every CC transaction have a constant size transaction fee of 10 cents or so? Saving up donations until the end of the month/year using some method of persistence and an aws lambda scheduled task might add up.

Okay, I just want to get clarity. Is there anyone on here that thinks that universal high speed broadband that's affordable to every American isn't going to be good for everyone long term? Increased opportunity, access to online

I think you can probably get by with an array of function pointers, and bittwiddling to get values. For example, if i is the ENUM code that was passed, then 1 ^ ((unsigned int)i >> (sizeof(int) * sizeof(char) - 1)) will be 0 if negati

This is good advice, though I'd note that Swagger unfortunately can't match up exactly JSON api (in the jsonapi.org sense).

I believe that the standard libraries are considered idiomatic code examples.

Well strictly speaking, if Obama could have passed single payer, he would have. He went with a compromise based on a republican idea and negotiated with the insurers to get their support. The thing is, expensive as it is, you have the abi

I'm not sure to what extent that factors in productivity improvements from workers with better health though, in terms of overall economic activity and GDP.

A tax benefit works only if the person has income to offset. If you are a freelance developer and you get sick with a life threatening or chronic illness or even just injured, you may not be able to work while you are getting treatment. If

I really think the GOP needs to go with evidence based policy analysis. If they think they can come up with a better health care system, fine, but what are the metrics for better? health care costs have gone up way past the amount of infla

Universities are required to abide by title IX only if they accept federal funds, fwiw.

I think this potentially ignores the needs of disabled shoppers who rely on supermarket workers. What if you have mobility issues and need someone to grab items for you? What if you have vision issues and need someone to read an ingredient

Great site! I also want to know if a screen is OLED or not, given the battery savings.

I hear CEO of a software company pays pretty well. More to the point, I was pretty intrigued at the difference in pay rate for golang programmers vs php programmers.

What you see is what your friends show you. Facebook is an echo chamber in an increasingly polarized society. From what I can tell, facebook is occasionally awful to everyone, about equally. It takes down posts it shouldn't, because it

Drivers are defacto employees, integral to the business of Uber, but are treated as independent contractors, which shafts the tax burden to uber drivers.

Frankly, I think it's more likely that Trump will want to require people assimilate and become Americans then get a temporary visa.

Wow, so you want me to work weekends is what you are telling me. I suppose it's nice that this is paid. A lot of companies give me HW problems... and frankly it doesn't scale.

First get the low hanging fruit. Wifi activity, utility use. Then look for commonalities in the homes that you can't tell about.
