The higher they go, the riskier it gets, though. You wouldn't want to take a loan out at the peak and be left holding the bag.

The list of additions to the pain definition all seem painfully obvious, like warnings not to drink a container of bleach. I don't think the author is saying anything of note, but trying to reframe things from an HR perspective.

I don't think that is a very good explanation of conservative vs. liberal, at least in regard to economic policies. I'd say it's more a matter of conservatives focusing on the incentives created by policy, while the liberal

I don't know, when I used to work on farms, the old guys were a lot healthier than most of the people I see in tech nowadays. Although, most of that work isn't unhealthily repetitive, like jack-hammering or something, so perhaps

I'd love for it to drop to a 'sane' valuation so I could get in. Already itching to pull the trigger, but I think it could shave off another $20-30.

Except VCs lose all their money pretty quick if they never get it right, and don't get rewarded (to the same extent) for following along with whatever is in fashion. So, there is another, more fundamental, factor there- one that drive

It's a tragic story, but it is simply not the story of the US. There are lots of people looking out for Dreamers, too, I'd be surprised if she wasn't able to stay when it's all said and done.

The US has by far the most foreign born residents of any country, and is always in the top 2 or 3 countries accepting immigrants every year! So, if you're going to measure the cruelness of a country by the immigrants they take in, the

Yea, the predictions of someone driven by passion (in this case, a passionate dislike of Musk it appears) probably aren't great in general. But, below $100 seems reasonable - the stock could still be considered 'overpriced'

Personally, I wouldn't require or expect an apology either, but as the OP said, the discussion was sent out to CSAIL mailing lists which hardly seems like the proper venue. I don't think social graces are Stallman's strong s

I'm also curious what OP had in mind. The only thing I came up with was irreversible physical/mental damage.

He apologized for all this, though. His initial comments read, to me, as basically someone who is pretty clueless about those topics. But this is the exact kind of speech that should be protected- he wasn't trying to offend or antago

Well it's kinda understandable, although lamentable, since open-source development requires high morale/passion if there's no monetary incentives. If someone fixes your car for free, but afterward you complain about them scu

CapsLock being so useless, but conveniently placed turns out to be a feature. I used to bind it to ctrl, but now use it as the root key for all my personal keymaps (remapping it to F2).

Yea, but this is something unique to Linux, since everyone runs a different distro on different, never 100%-supported, hardware. So, they likely have never run into sleep problems- my desktop linux box doesn't have any at the moment.

Sleep states are faulty on the Linux laptop I'm currently on, and I do occasionally waste time on interoperability with various commercial software, although countless hours seems excessive. But when it comes to running dev software o

I may be terribly naive, but I just don't feel any safer b/c the NSA exists. I also don't believe this country has been under any serious threats since the NSA was created, from which it protected us.

Right, just another example of many mistakes made by these agencies since their inception. I do think there is legitimate need for some form of FBI, though.

Having the option to leave your oil in a clear container more than accounts for the environmental dangers. That is not 'extra work'. When you're doing an oil change you need a container to catch it in anyway- but the claim

This isn't just uniformly true, though. As a worker you may be better off without the union you're a part of- it depends as much on the union as the company.
