Yes it is; I think you're thinking about healthy, pet cats. I have a couple, I've also worked with the local cat population control group on the pro-cat side. Too many cat's is a huge problem. They carry unique diseases, most

The wikipedia article calls out that the compounding sequence of issues started when autopilot was silently disabled, so the human system was in control when the pilots did not intend it to be. I think the critical issue in both cases is th

That sounds very effective; I'm trying to think how you might be able to apply that technique to social media. I want to gag every time I spend too long on Facebook.

GP and GGP are not saying there is an overt conspiracy especially among interviewers; they are attempting to point out that the interview process itself is discriminating. I'm sure the people that perform interviews are not discriminat

Well, yeah, communication is so far down on the priority of needs that my county's disaster preparedness pamphlets don't even mention it. But after we got hit with a hurricane it was pretty nifty to have ham radio friends who were

Serious question: how could they already know about us? Are you simply assuming they have advanced signal detection technologies that match their space fairing capability?

As far as practice interviews: Companies always take the full time they scheduled for your interview no matter when they've decided you failed. Then a week later they may drop you an email informing you that they've chosen to pass

My concern for thinking of lotteries as a societal benefit is that my (in no way perfect) observations is that the lowest in income, and education tend to <i>contribute</i> the most money towards the lottery which may have

I've always owned 10-20year old cars, and frequently replacement parts aren't available; I have to find them on ebay or craigslist and I've no way to know weather these were scavenged legally or stolen. I've also used Cr

It's possible Facebook uses location data for this, but I've got an alternate theories. This happens to me often too, with much briefer encounters: mainly dates and meetups. Since I've shared similar amounts of time at the sa

Wait, what's wrong with iceberg lettuce? Seriously, as an American that eats like 1/2 head per day, am I rotting my teeth out? Am I headed for diabetes? You've got me scared.

Normally I'd agree with you, but the world was recently offered "Free Basics by Facebook" and had to decide between no internet vs practically Facebook only which I think the GP is alluding to. So, it's not an invented

"Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime." To be pedantic, it was Lavrentiy Beria[1] who is credited with that statement[2]; So it was a WW2 Russian Sentiment. Though Stalin-ism is also an example of a surveillance state gover

It's easy to see in retrospect that the beginning of bitcoin would've been a good place to throw in some meaningless quantities of cash, but I think once you divide by the number of small, potential investments you could make that

This is great advice and appears to be a good thing to do, but I just feel weird giving equifax money to protect me from fallout of their data breach. It feels like I'm rewarding them for losing my data. I bet millions of Americans, wh

No, we are arguing opinions here. FPH was not conducting double blind scientific studies on the efficacy of shaming as a weight loss intervention for the obese (AFAIK). And, in fact, if that study does show promising results, I may admit th

Here's why I prefer irrelevant ads: 1. Targeted ads catch my attention better. Frequently I don't even notice or remember irrelevant adds. 2. Targeted ads are almost always, SEOed (if you will) to me; that is, they seem relevant,

Counter position is hard to define in a large market, so take a market with two stocks A and B. You buy shares of A from counter-position-inc who moves that money into B (possibly buying the shares you just dumped). Over a time period A goe
