I think you are confusing the idea of individual people's incentives with the community as a whole. Just as in our society individuals may have an incentive to do nefarious deeds like robbery or murder, but society as a whole has an in

I saw someone post on a non work slack about their steam library, where they had a bunch of games that previously ran on mac, being decimated, and they meant decimated literally by catalina. 90% of their games were 32 bit.

They may have, but in war you don't always have all the resources you want to secure things and prevent failure. Not unlike in a startup.

If there are provable differences that effect performance, by all means cite them. But it's more likely that unseen bias affects hiring and promotions. Girls and boys mathematical abilities are equivalent. https://psychcentr

It's better to see this as a conscious attempt to correct sexism than as sexism itself. It's a blunt instrument, to address a blunt injustice that occurs at all levels of society. Just because you aren't all men, doesn't

Politics is not just electing people. Politics includes advocating for issues, viewpoints. Net Neutrality is politics. Right to Repair is politics. Broadband Initiatives are politics. Internet Censorship is politics. Section 230 immunity is

I think the only way to get an open search engine going is to specifically target a niche first, build profit from ad results, and then expand. My suggestion? Older folks don't have a well known search engine targeted at them, and the

My brother printer is actually 20 years old and still works. Have had to replace the roller once and the ink a few times, and it's not wireless but for how rarely I print I've definitely got my money's worth.

A lot of people support cannabis legalization, and Biden wants to decriminalize it and leave it to the states to handle. I've seen a lot of people noting how drug policy liberalization won big across the country, even in red states.

If that were true then there wouldn't be an issue with collective bargaining. Uber and Lyft only pay for the time a passenger is in the car, what is called engaged time, not for time with the app open waiting for customers or for drivi

prop 22 prevents drivers from organizing together to negotiate with these companies. Having the freedom to say no to a corporation individually is not at all the same as the ability to create a union and negotiate terms collectively.

I'm reading a lot of comments here saying that CoCs are categorically bad. Which absolutely isn't what Jeremy is saying in this post, in fact he says just the opposite. CoCs help prevent and deal with incidents of racism, sexism,

Apparently both the Lyft and Uber apps pressure drivers to "agree" with prop 22, or the popups keep popping up repeatedly? If you have a video showing otherwise, feel free to link below. Lets set aside the legal question for the m
