There are scientists who think we could be in for an extinction level event solely from climate change. We could enter one due to environmental pressure from the death of a key part of the biosphere, not even related to climate change. And

Ha, I'll bite. This gets pretty personal so I'm going to mostly keep it at a high level. The dark side is that attractiveness is a form of power. Having power changes people, especially if one has lived a large portion of their li

Being attractive helps you in everything. Humans have a fundamental positive bias towards those they perceive as attractive. At the risk of sounding arrogant, let me share my personal experience. Over a period of a year in my early thirties

That’s pretty naive to think Trump wasn’t even close to remaining on. If enough states had sent contested election results (eg a county or state’s election board is tied in approval or does not approve the results because of one die-hard) t

What are some examples of these words? I’d like to know for my own edification, this is not a challenge. If you actually want to be decent, then that means taking global perspectives into account if your communication is to a global audienc

I choose not to use the term “gypped” in technical contexts even though I live in the US. I wouldn’t use “genocide” to describe a technical concept even though it’s been over a century since the US has taken part in one. Why not error on th

And the holocaust was just a Europe thing, but I’d still choose not to use that word to describe a technical concept to an American audience.

It’s not a silly request. “Slave” is a very specific term that is highly emotionally charged. There are plenty of alternatives which convey the intended meaning just as clearly without the offensive connotation. Imagine if one were to insis

I am really looking forward to doing that as well with my daughter when she is older. Narrating books well with distinct character voices is a lot of fun!

Columbus to Seattle was my journey as well, but I have no intention of going back. What brought you back to Ohio?

They are probably pretty conscious of legal liability. I participated in the investigation of a potential vulnerability at one point in my career, and I was advised to use similar wording at the conclusion of the investigation.

That’s quite cynical. What makes you think that they would attempt something so Orwellian?

Interesting read, thanks for sharing. It didn’t even occur to me that the file systems will need to change to fully take advantage of NVRAM. I wonder at what point the abstraction will stop leaking and require another higher layer to accoun

Can you provide any additional detail about that? I can’t tell if you’re referring to FB mining the contents of the messages, or the app doing unscrupulous things in the background.

Since early 2017, I’ve stopped posting, scrolling mindlessly through the news feed, giving a shit how many likes things I say or appear in garner, and subjecting myself to the collective fear and anger of my bubble. It’s been great! On the

I wonder how much the author considers this applicable to lower levels of management, such as team leads? I’m transitioning into a TL role currently, and the “giving up control” aspect is the one which is the least clear to me. A TL is more

I’ve wanted to improve my yoga practice (especially balance) for awhile, so I started doing trees and other one-legged balance moves every time I brush my teeth. I don’t remember when I started, but it has made a big difference! I can now h

I developed some good habits over the last few months such as a more balanced savings/investment plan, quitting Facebook and practicing yoga three to five times per week, so I’d like to continue those consistently for the whole year. T

I graduated from Ohio State in 2011 and moved away in 2012, so much more recently than that actually. A woman that I dated in high school is now a teacher at the school we graduated from, and she told me that she sees pretty vile behavior f

Columbus native here. It varies wildly; my wife lived in an upper-class suburban area and reports an experience similar to yours, but I grew up in a poorer, slightly more rural-adjacent area. I can’t even begin to count the number of times

Great! So the competitor can rely on leasing municipal broadband networks to avoid expensive, wide-spread fiber buildout? No, because that’s illegal in many cities thanks to lobbying from Comcast and friends. Ok, so the competitor can build

I tried Mensa a few years ago when I was at a crossroads in my life and looking for something new. It was a profoundly disappointing experience. My involvement was limited to the official Mensa Facebook group, which was deeply toxic and rud

This is a telling look at the intense self-righteousness felt by that segment. They knowingly engage in fraud and deception, believing that it is justified because their enemies do it more or first or something.

I believe this, which is why I've stopped keeping up with environmental news. It's so fucking depressing and sours my enjoyment of the life I have now. If things genuinely will shake out this way, I want to have enjoyed the sweet

I'm not an expert, but that's my understanding as well. I believe that's one of the reasons that exclusives were far more common in those days; a port was not a minor engineering effort, you had to do a total rewrite. What I

As others have already pointed out, it's the extraction and concentration of fructose (which is what is meant by "processing" in this context) that is so bad. The perfect example is that it's unlikely you'd have the
