How else would you analyze the issue? A binary analysis would lead us to conclude that gun regulations are completely bereft of any benefit whatsoever, given that gun violence, even mass shootings/spree killings, happen in countries wi

Kids are like 80x or more likely to kill themselves than to be killed in a school shooting. It's not even close to the top of list of real issues affecting the country. It's just an easy one to get clicks and political favor tha

In the past I've used MSSQL's Temporal Tables (also called System-Versioned Tables) to implement this kind of functionality. This also gets you, for free, Type 2 SCD functionality for OLAP-style queries. I can't wait until P

I agree. I used Azure at my last 2 companies and joined the company I currently work for right before it was decided to do a total rewrite and use AWS instead of Azure. I'll be looking for another Azure gig if/when I leave my cu

Traditionally, at publications of repute, the advertising and journalism departments were entirely segregated from one another. This gives the appearance of independence, rather than being influenced by an advertiser. I expect that, espec

Sometimes. Other times the food is bad and the stomach throws it right back up. Sometimes the food is poisoned and the same happens. Sometimes someone is allergic and it kills them before it makes its way through.

Agree. It was well written and presented some interesting ideas. I don't fully buy it but they were worth considering.

Uncomfortable? Not if it were true. But categoricals tend not to be so.

Not any time recently. Nearly all US policy for the last 50 years or so has been to increase benefits and lower liabilities for older people, while doing the opposite for younger people. Just look at the share of wealth and wealth per cap

I'm on T-Mobile's home internet. With just the modem chilling in my room, i can get about 200/20. I've bought an external antenna that I'm going to be hooking up to the modem and mounting on top of my house soon.

Yes. Same way they call their employees "associates". I don't quite understand the rationale, but if I had to guess, "customer" and "employee" are a bit too on the nose, and they wish to cultivate a more

Because it's a hard job that not a lot of people can actually do, but most companies still operate under the, now outmoded, model of industrial production. Under this model, every employee's role can be modeled as a fungible cog

No not really. As a person that nominally fits the label as stated, those MGTOW dudes are just toxic women haters. They have some kind of fucked up unresolved issues with women but it's all couched in some self-justifying logic. Pers

Hard work alone does not yield success. Any of us who have succeeded have had a huge amount of luck. Simply being born in what is presumably a first world country during a time of relative prosperity is already a tremendous amount of luck

There have been numerous ludicrous prosecutions and lawsuits of people in your country for violating these laws. Mike Ward, for one. A few other comedians as well. Bill Whatcott. Gregory Elliott. Some of these people were found guilty,

Sounds like if they can job hop every year for maximum income, then the companies they work for are being greedy by underpaying them.

I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of distributing it totally free of cost, along with needle exchanges, etc. But yeah, I was speaking more about difference between what an addict pays for fentanyl and the actual cost to produce

Decrim without legalization or free supply to addicts doesn't do a lot for the poverty side of things. People are still going to spend every cent they can scrape together on their drug. We could supply the entire country's heroi

I reiterate my comment from a few weeks ago as applicable to this new context. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31181311 In this case, the slack is obvious. And it has once again been wrung from the supply chain in the
