I don't think capitalism has a monopoly on this. It's an intrinsic property of any hierarchical organization.

If you mean homeless shelters, yes, but they're horrible and most homeless (or underhoused) people would rather live in a tent than go there. The justifications given are usually assault, thievery, and not being able to bring any perso

I was born in the US and lived abroad for 10 years before returning recently. It was a big and very demoralizing culture shock when I returned and, being in the habit of being friendly to strangers, saw how withdrawn and mistrusting people

I didn't downvote you, but "I believe the research supports my position" is functionally equivalent to "that's my gut feeling". I'd be interested in seeing any research you've encountered that caused

To be fair, some people of all genders get their kicks from being sexually dominated. The issue is knowing where the other person’s limits are and having good communication. This becomes a problem when people find discussing their sexual pr

You can send your designs to ponoko for small batches. Much cheaper than buying a laser cutter unless you plan to scale up.

I’ll give my counter-anecdote. I have made three close friends at work who I frequently talk to about relationship issues, etc, and would happily help them move a couch if they asked. One of them is currently my roommate. I’m 41, so these t

Hopefully this will spark a productive conversation about the advantages and disadvantages of centralizing a decentralized VCS.

One of my most frustrating interview experiences was when the lead engineer constantly interrupted me in the middle of my answers, clearly looking to get an answer that confirmed his existing opinions, then stopped the interview because we

How much game piracy happens these days? Since steam became such a good distribution platform and my internet connection got fast I haven’t even thought about pirating a game. AAA titles are expensive, but there aren’t a ton of them release

That’s an apple to oranges comparison. You should be comparing it to the median freelance hourly rate for each respective industry.

I think it goes deeper than that. They practically defined the 2010s electro genre, with heavy use of aggressive synthesizers, drum machines, and vocoders for nearly all the vocals. RAM was cleaner, more understated, and very, very slick. Y

I upvoted you because people shouldn't be downvoting you for having a different opinion. People, downvotes are for low effort comments, not because you disagree!

I’m in Austin, without power for almost 48 hours now. There’s ice in my roommate’s bedroom. It’s my birthday tomorrow, and I’m hearing that we won’t have power until Thursday at the earliest. I’ve gone beyond furious to just horribly depres

It will take 6-8 weeks after large scale vaccination to start seeing the results. Deaths usually occur six weeks after infection, and it takes a week to reach full immunity after vaccination.

This is a very active area of research, and I'm pretty confident it will be a standard feature within the next five years. There are also light field displays, which are super interesting, but I'm pretty sure they are cost prohibi

I removed that last sentence from the post as I didn't want anyone to misunderstand and think they actually asked if he votes Republican. My point was that asking the interviewee if he supports social justice movements is a very simple

It should be possible to look at the source code of known compromised extensions and put together a list of heuristics that could automate part of the process. Minifiers make it more difficult though.
