Good. Uber can suck a giant dick for their lawbreaking business practices and their treatment of drivers.

Because Uber and Lyft drivers should be fucking employees. I don't give two shits if the taxi industry is disrupted, but I do care about the treatment of their drivers.

Can we quit with the Moore's law bullshit? It's not a law! It's just an observation about the direction a graph seems to be moving. Yeah, we hope processors keep getting more powerful. Calling this "Moore's law&quot

Is there a solution yet in Rust to this problem of, monadic-ish constructs like Result and Option, but no nice way to chain them together without hideous nesting, like Haskell's "do" or Scala's "for"?

Why not take them to small claims court?

by randommodnar 10y ago
So do you think it's reasonable that contempt of court can carry a life sentence without even being convicted by a jury of your peers? Is contempt of court a worse crime than assault or manslaughter? You have the right to not divulge i

While this comparison highlights that yes, there are very many possible Go games, it's really apples to oranges. The real comparison would be the number of pieces on a Go board (19x19 = 361) compared to the number of atoms in the unive

Anybody who knows anything about human behaviour will know that it was a failure from the beginning. If there is strong demand for the resources in the moon, powerful people will move in and take them. Watch what will happen with the Arctic

My big question: how do you deal with community leadership and moderation? Is the first person to create a particular community that community's dictator for life? How can large communities, with populations larger than many nations, a

Also, sibling is not a 20th century invention in gender neutrality. Sibling is an old English word meaning a kinsmen or relative. It simply saw a revival in the 20th century and had its meaning narrowed to mean only brother or sister.

What you have to realize is it's an arms race. When splitting and comparmentalizing is the norm, the government will be putting every effort into connecting the dots between your disparate personas. It takes a special kind of persisten

It's definitely more natural. You'll never hear any significant number of English speakers saying bullshit like "ve, vis".

by randommodnar 10y ago
It's not crazy. English speakers tend to use "they" when they need a gender-neutral option. This just sounds like some edgy teenager... ooh look at me, I'm using some invented new pronouns because of the injustices I&#x2

It's relatively recent, to crack down on ridiculous speeders and racers. Honestly those people deserve the book thrown at them. Going 50km over is an instant roadside suspension and a $2,000 - $10,000 fine.

Great. Freedom of speech in fucking quotes. National security is nuanced. You've got to be kidding me. America has disappointed me.

There are ads in Gmail?

Why are you all arguing about fucking canaries? I grew up with this idea that there was a right to freedom of speech and expression. You're all playing their little games when you should be standing up for your right.

Actually JavaScript is compiled JIT by most engines these days. While it's not the fastest, it certainly can be quite fast.

Terrorists kill very few people . People driving cars kill far more people . 9 people are killed in America every day related to distracted driving. In four days distracted and texting Americans kill more people than terrorists did in Bel

Your own comparison is flawed. Standing in northern Iraq vs standing at a shooting range? What the fuck is this? Accidental gun deaths don't just happen at shooting ranges. It's children shooting their friends or parents at home.

MIT license? Is open-source dying?

by randommodnar 11y ago
This is the fear talking. An understandably emotional argument. The people in stretchers dying from all the more common causes of death than terrorism, like being accidentally shot, would like to disagree with you .

by randommodnar 11y ago
Seriously? That's what you come up with? Statistics didn't help them any less than it helps the people accidentally killed by firearms in the US. Those people are dead too. And there are more of them. And it's just as sensele

And it's still true advice. What you're feeling now is just fear and panic. This is the entire point of a terrorist attack: it's psychological warfare. Make people think they are in grave, imminent danger, to coerce them in

Why e-mail the employer at all? I'm bewildered. This is terrible. If I add a project to my AngelList profile and it e-mails my employer, it will send one signal and only one signal: I'm looking for another job. Why the heck does A
