I never want to go to the office again (especially open floor plans), but I think you are being unfair to folks who like the office. Human interaction and energy are 100% a thing. I used to think sports were the most boring thing to watch,

If you actually believe that abortion is murder, then what you are saying is that you want to stop that and then make the would-be murderers to give birth to, to raise, and to pay for the victim they tried to murder. This is not a good plan

Thomas mentioned all the cases that made those protected rights. The way those cases would be overturned is if a state passed a law to prohibit them. He is sending a very clear message to legislatures that he would be receptive to hearing t

I honestly wish more open-minded folks had pushed back on my Christian fundamentalism, in a kind way to broaden my perspective. I was raised in an evangelical family who believed in the inerrancy of the Bible, a literal hell, and that God i

I regret to inform you there are lots of people who think that women in the workforce is a bad thing. Fundamentalist evangelical Christians often view this as a negative. There was a conservative thinker on the Ezra Kline show who espoused

I think a more charitable read would be to say that businesses have a strong incentive to increase profits and for many businesses, worker compensation is often a big expense, so they are very motivated to drive that down, regardless of whe

I wish there was more data on the "from scratch" bit. I just cannot believe that companies are willing to let experienced devs who know your system and have proven that they can ship just walk out the door with all that value simp

You make a claim that there's no way to pay them according to their value. But there's several ways I can say that this is not true. First, a waitress is often a little bit of a salesperson so yes, she can up her skills to be more

This is an article by a Koch supported organization. They are very blatant they want to remove all regulation and are behind climate misinformation. The real reason we have a problem is that Abbott was not maintaining their factory all the

If you're flying commercial, I don't think laws are going to get made for you against the interests of airlines and aircraft manufacturers. And before you think market pressures will work, they know you'll keep flying.

I am a bit aghast that the author does not mention the American robber barons who are intentionally trying to tear down government so they can pay fewer taxes and get to pass their wealth down to their children tax-free. It’s not “the West”

That is amazing since VIN's are often visible from the outside. This is just so open to abuse, especially if it was a casual to lookup as you make it seem (no verification that you were the owner and for just a lark). We as engineers n

I replied to you above, but I disagree. Many subjects could be vastly improved by excellent software. And I would say that in-person high school and university are fundamentally plagued by people who just want to lecture for an hour. That&#

The thing about schools and universities is that took the same thing they do in person and tried to do that online. Remote work requires rethinking what work means, and remote education requires you to do the same thing. I can say that Duol

Whataboutism is not very effective to an audience trained to understand it. Perhaps try again. The oil industry has spent much on misinformation and lobbying around their impact to climate. They are actively evil. From Standard Oil on, this

Gosh I wish Apple with their loads of cash and drive to have the highest performing chip would get big ole fabs on US and EU shores. The fact that a disputed country owns the best fabs is downright scary for the future of the world (add in

This is more about power and reach. I'm going to pick on Facebook since they are easy to dislike. They are the medium of disinformation that is hurting the US and the world. First, people are joining extremist groups due to FB recommen

I wouldn’t be so certain. Obviously, something isn’t working well or isn’t as good as it could be, but that doesn’t mean they are on the way out. Maybe they are, but plenty of businesses say, this isn’t working like we want it to-we can do

I can't believe you're serious. Since the iPhone X, a screen replacement has been such a significant percentage of the cost it's not worth it. And if you damage the back glass, Apple will just replace the phone. Before the X,

Not a doctor, but I thought that asymptomatic is not as big of deal as we thought it was based on contact tracing. http://www.emro.who.int/health-topics/corona-virus/transmiss... .

I agree with you, but there's probably already been some pressure with people wanting to use Raspberry PIs/other ARM-based boards for K8s clusters. I wonder where that tipping point will come. Anandtech's benchmarks: https:&

I don't think the GP was speaking of "misinformation" as an alias for "mistruth", I read it as "disinformation", and that is an excellent method where true facts can cover over the larger reality. This is

But doesn’t that show that life is not sustainable in that area? Your arguments make it seem like it would be a good idea to leave Kuwait, not that we shouldn’t tax carbon. Obviously we need a transition time, but there’s a lot of environme

Just note that a lot of more socialist countries do not have clearly higher taxes, and they look much better financially when you factor in the ridiculously high price US folks pay for healthcare

No, sorry. The US was prepared, we just have an administration that failed us and an entire political party that cares more about short-term politics than protecting its citizens. We have to reform our system because it should not be possib
