I forget what the concept is called, but I will call it something like emigrant conservatism, where emigrants bring essentially a snapshot of their culture from when they emigrate, and that snapshot remains fixed - they don't feel Amer

What caste are you? > For tech companies like Google who hire purely by merit, if someone has made inside Google that's it. Otherwise if there is discrimination they would not have hired it. I don't think anyone is claiming tha

I don't buy this...even if white people don't understand caste, they would still understand random team members not being invited to group events and perhaps try to find out why it happened that way.

I agree, I'm probably in the same boat with 5000+ karma but for the most part worthless comments and oftentimes getting yelled at by dang, but some filtering would be better than none at all. My guess is that companies don't want

I enjoyed reading about doing some things with the jvm which are not possible through the java language - can anyone recommend a page that goes further into that concept?

by oh_sigh 4y ago
I think at the very least comments should be allowed on those posts, even if only by high karma accounts to lessen the number of trolls.

I actually built something exactly like this, using the google calendar API and FUSE. It wasn't very difficult at all, I think it took half a day. I'll try to find the code, it's been about a year since I used it since it was

2mg is considered a potentially lethal dose[0] of fentanyl. The new law decriminalizes up to 2.5g of it, or enough fentanyl to potentially kill 1200 people. I wouldn't consider that "small amounts". [0] https://www

Seems more efficient to just have all cars be hybrids, with a small battery that can cover the bulk of daily driving, and then use the generator for longer trips. I'd imagine 90+% of cars are driven < 40 miles per day on most days.

If a process isn't using any resources, is it really running at all? (Of course it doesn't really use no resources - it consumes a finite PID among other things)

It's not a gotcha statement. I believe in individual action, even for global problems. And I believe you're a hypocrite if you accuse others of lacking empathy for the problem while both parties external behavior is exactly the sa

So invite a homeless person to live in your house with you. I bet you have a spare room or even a couch they could crash on. If everyone who accused people who complain about homeless encampments of lacking empathy did this simple thing, th

Or, if you were a drug user, you'd maybe end up homeless. It doesn't help to confuse cause and effect.

That's exactly right for HEPA filters, not sure about other types of filters though.

Yeah...if that is the case, wouldn't nvidia graphic driver's kernel-shim-to-closed-source-binary not be legit, since the shim defines an API in the kernel and then the closed source blob uses that GPL'd API?

I'm sure if they just paid a little bit more they would attract people to drive into the town from the assuredly cheaper nearby towns.

What's wrong with that? Sounds kind of fun IMHO. Clearly the ethics lessons didn't work for this fellow, but I don't think you should write off the entire camp because of that.

I agree logically, but an important point is that pretty much any pedal assist on the market will have a top speed only marginally faster than a biker's actual top speed - compared with the pure e-dirt-bikes which are exceptionally fas

Because no one wants to solely exercise. They want to have some fun while doing it. This is like saying that if you only want to exercise when skiing, then you shouldn't take a chair lift - just use your legs!

Yes, because we have the ability to differentiate reasonable vehicles from unreasonable vehicles regardless of their designation. E-bikes with pedal assist seem ok. E-bikes which are basically just electric dirt bikes don't seem ok (fo

The transaction limit and public-ness of transactions are implementation details of certain blockchains. There are blockchains with much better TPS, and blockchains where transactions are not public.
