I find quick answers through web searching literally all the time. The walled off nature of discord and similar semi-private messaging platforms is a huge downside in disseminating information and I don't see how anyone could think oth

I think those are two different issues though. You can have pay transparency without enforcing strict pay levels per role. The natural outcome is just that thise who make less than their coworkers will feel undervalued and look for other jo

If you're other comment is accurate about it only being allowed if they employ workers in Colorado I think that's a fairly reasonable compromise. You can get around the law if you entirely pull out of the state but otherwise you m

Do older people just call their coworkers for no particular reason or to ask something that could have been an email? I think you're right about the generational difference but I'm not sure if I see it significantly affecting how

How about a law preventing you from tracking a person's location without their consent? What's wrong with that? Most laws depend on the concept of intent already so its not like you would have to outlaw security cameras or anythin

But your numbers were wrong according to that same source. Median average pay for all workers is $42k compared to $61k for teachers. Saying that they make twice as much money is either a significant mathematical error or intentionally disin

Your attitude on this doesn't make any sense to me. A single man can record videos yes, but they can't record millions of videos and aggregate them into a searchable database. For that you need larger groups of people and a signif

Many states have two party consent laws that make it illegal to record private conversations without consent even in a public place. I fail to see how the same thing couldn't be done with video. Of course finding the political will to

I've never been audited, but isn't it more a case of "you must talk to the IRS or they'll simply collect what they think you owe and leave you no recourse"?

Is there evidence that the average hacker is smarter than the average developer? I would expect the opposite to be true because legitimate work seems more profitable/stable, but also I'd imagine the difference is t that high eithe

Smart TV baffle me because their software is always garbage and even non-tech people can tell its garbage. I've never seen someone happy with the OS in their television and most people use an external box anyway. Yet every TV must be w

The mi scales can be set up to have smart features locally. Only caveat is that you need to use the app for initial setup and of course this assumes there isn't any kind of undisclosed antenna nonsense.

Are you arguing that all of these unions don't help their members or that they have other negatives you don't like? Because that's kind of a different discussion imo

Are we talking about medians or averages? People with or without bachelor's degrees and the accompanying debt?Comparing the median teacher salary to the average general wage doesn't really say much even if you had provided sources

Unless Amazon can do the same work for less overall cost with robots. I guess my point is that the potential for automation doesn't seem a compelling argument to worsen working conditions

People like to say skilled workers don't need unions but I never heard a convincing argument about why. Most of the fields I think of when I think of successful unions in the US are ones I consider skilled -teachers -electricians -carp

Which is probably for the best. I'm sure there are more productive or fulfilling things for people to be doing than shuffling boxes around.

Averages have nothing to do with it and I don't know where you're getting that from. The goal is to limit the amount of discretion companies can exercise on a per applicant basis by forcing them to provide a salary range up front.

Looks great but I'm surprised they aren't way noisier. Is that just a result of having a limited number of neurons compared to the number of pixels, or is there some specific trick to it?

Sure if you don't count Colin Kaepernick as a person. Regardless I fail to see how this refutes the claim that the right also attempts to engage in "canceling" of those they disagree with but is less effective at it. For spec

Right, but that isn't because those on the right don't engage in this kind of behavior, it's just that consumers on the left are more successful at making these companies blink.

I fail to see how this debt is "meaningless" given interest is being paid and the solvency of the program is not legally guaranteed. Congress may step in and directly fund certain SS programs through some other means once the ss t
