Back in 19th century USA, during industrialization, the idea of working for someone came across to many as a form of wage-slavery. Going from farming or trade-skills to factories working, one gave up any control in their own worker rights a

Yeah, seeing them lined up being drained is just nightmarish and barbaric. I thinks it's a good visual demonstration of how humans view the world: if we can derive benefit or profit from it, we'll exploit it.

You do you realize sometimes these people getting elected actually write or enforce the laws? Perhaps even change them, by lets say reducing the number of refugees being taken in. But to get to the heart of your point "enforcing laws&q

I think directly speaking about sexual assault coupled with many accusations is more damning, and supporters just not caring. Same with racism against people form Mexico / middle east. Sadly comes down to a matter of scale, at least fo

I find the implied "boys will be boys" and "people make mistakes" quite unsavory. Should he be cast out form society? No, but I sure won't support him until I see evidence he disagrees with the most disturbing thing

I completely agree. My meaning was he seemed like that to me in 2013, and many others for that matter. Also he is still young.

I am certainly biased, despite having huge issues with Oculus. My experience is Vive demos and second hand. Setup was just placing cameras on a desk. I don't need external headphones. Store is curated, which is good and bad. I like tru

I got big into VR partly because of him, enamored by an interview of him my girl friend pointed me to in 2013. He was young, enthusiastic, idealistic, relatable to me. Well, as the years wear on he, and oculus itself, has established more o

"Better" is entirely too vague. Sure, I can get a VR headset now which is awesome, but the middle east is even more unstable now and thousands of species have gone extinct since then. For a lot of people the core idea that "t

I have two responses to news like this, first my child self thinking how cool it is to have giant deep sea robots, and then the more cynical adult me realizing we're in a mad extinction event with multiple paths to our own destruction

Can you provide the names of those companies? I want to know if they're attracting top tech talent to solve hard programming problems. At least that is what Palantir says it does to attract new recruits. Also, how is "others are d

The Republican controlled house, Senate, executive branch, and majority of state governments highlights how important it is that people and companies resist, and that we support groups that do. Casting it off as, "it's just a job

Honestly a bit disturbing to see people coming out of the wood works to defend palantir. They've assisted NSA, and now they're using some skills to help agents look up info on undocumented immigrants. Sure, we should be tackling t

I did not say, and would not, say I am better than you or the average person. I have no idea who you are. I'm sure not the next Mr. Rodgers or what have you, maybe you are. What I can say is making the change to vegan made me better

This argument boggles my mind. Are we all body builders? Why do we need to eat like them? There's this protein craze going on that we all need to eat the densest sources of protein cause we all look like Arnold. The amount of protein i

I used to really like eating meat too. Also used to not like seitan or beans much, but now I love 'em. Tastes changed since I went vegan. If your litmus test for "viable" is what currently makes you the happiest you'll b

How is it easiest? Perhaps most accessible how society is currently setup, but beans, tofu, etc are all good for you, plenty of vegan body builders rely on them. This "high quality" protein myth is garbage.

I gave up animal products and found a pretty good increase in quality of life. It happened when other changes were occuring in my life, but I lost weight, hung out with other vegans, felt better overall. It can really depend on when you liv

Well, they plan to sell 500k vehicles a year soon which takes a huge ramp up form current production. Sure, they could increase production with current profits form sales but it would slow them down.

Moom for Mac is great with near perfect functionality. Hover over the "Fullscreen" button and you can select by a customizable grid for size and placement. Also quick half sized options.

Agreed, processed bad. Guess that's why the comment on lentil and rice seemed odd to me, it's pretty great.
954.
by marricks 10y ago
Lentils are high protein so it should be a good complete meal. What's wrong with carbs anyways, hype now is that refined sugar are bad nowadays, which seems closer to the truth.

I think a pretty good summary is about 3 years ago Microsoft realized it had a couple of failed stratagies. 1) Catering to casual. Xbox one launch is probably the best example. They wanted to become the home media center so the entire lau

I meant similar in the context of generally trimming support. But yeah, in terms of apple not having a system for latest GPUs it is different.

by marricks 10y ago
So they had to switch to Nvidia for their amazing 1080 GPU, makes sense. Guess I wouldn't blame apple for not appealing to a niche market, as a reply on that post said they chase big markets and do really well in them. It's intere

I think it's reasonable to be suspicious but what they described sounds mostly feasible without extra steps of tracking. What evidence did they present and how could it be tracked? - downloaded 9.7 GB of waymo data -> server logs

Since it's easy to be unclear of your legal rights and protections, can you ask officer if you're legally obligated to comply with their request, and if they're recorded lying can the agency be held accountable? That might be
