But if it were true that the inclusion of such information is, in fact, framed to promote a narrative beyond just the facts, how is it a political cheap shot to point out the distinction, and wouldn't "[stopping] at the first sen

I hate separate pages because I lose all the context in the background. More often that not, I find myself needing info from the main page and often have to go back to it. Same thing happens on modals that you can't grab the title bar

What is your prediction of the efficiency of helping the poor that giving the poor money achieves? I assume from your comment you think it's a positive number? We know that there is a set of people that can't manage money in a sus

I think what we have going on today is more than simply "weird" or scandalous on the level of nudity, but instead is remembered as the cultural cleansing mechanism that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century.

I'm finding it extremely hard to separate signal from noise in the social and legacy media spheres right now. I'm waiting for things to settle.

I'm really behind. I thought Github had no offices, no org chart, and full comp transparency. Was that a very early version during a bubble? There's probably a book I could read by now.

Like many others here, rather than answering how to make it work, I would say the premise is not valid - scrum isn't the right tool for devops. Probably something more akin to Kanban should be looked at.

My personal experience with non-compete is something that was being purchased from me by my employer as part of a severance package. Does this mean that that ability for me and my employer to make those deals is removed?

But, all moral posturing notwithstanding, is it not also true that if the OP just gets a browser or a browser version or a browser configuration that supports geolocation that they will be back in business?

I don't understand how Meta could be a compelling game changer like the iPhone because I don't understand what practical value it offers. The iPhone and mobile in general has had an incredible impact on economic efficiency alone,

>>renewables in the US have been dominating the construction of new power plants>> That may be the case but I think the question here is whether that success is based on the technology's own free market merits. The statemen

I would be surprised if what you’re saying is the case. For one, I would expect solar and wind to take off on their own and people falling over each other to replace fossil fuels with them. Especially if what you say has been the case for 1

Because the government regulates, subsidizes, and mandates these forms of energy. It does all these things because renewable energy is more expensive and so they have not been sustainable, financially, on their own in the free market. There

Crumbling for sure. But incredible turn arounds have happened before. Consider the US posture at the end of the 1970s vs only a decade later.

I starting dating someone who was sober. For the first two years, I never drank around her - only if we were traveling apart. Then I just decided to quit altogether so that she wasn’t cast as the party pooper. It’s been three years since th

Where there is a large industry, there is a large anti-industry. To me, the point is that there is a large potential for bias in either direction so incentives to reproduce, validate, and otherwise test results need to be found and somehow

I'm wondering why my question got downvoted. I've had this happen before when asking questions. Could it be a matter of a couple of readers not assuming benign intent? As in, someone thinks I'm not actually asking a question

Exactly. It seems like a common pattern - I often wonder how much a rise in popularity is because of those that like it vs. those that are somehow angered by it.

Same argument for simplifying the tax code or even completely abolishing the IRS in favor of collection infrastructures already in place (like sales tax) - but what will happen to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry?

I got my CDL in 1990 on a Silver Eagle tour bus. I was already comfortable with manual transmissions, but the double clutching blew my mind. It was a whole other level of understanding what all had to happen to transfer power.

Yea, I suffer from serious oppression and inequity narrative fatigue. I couldn't really get past the first few paragraphs. Sure there is inequity between workers and their management. But first off, it's not always tilted towards
