They literally define themselves as "The job board for conservatives, libertarians and free thinkers." It's just a job board for conservative companies to hire conservative workers; if they're trying to hide it, they&#x2

Well there are US Supreme Court justices who seem to agree with that definition, so it might be tautological, but it's legally significant regardless. https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-court-apple-monop...

Does it matter where the risk comes from if the differences in risk are still there? A person dying due to falling off a tree is just as dead as one dying from a GSW. Police work is objectively less dangerous than many other much more munda

I think it's pretty clear "votes" meant what's known in the US as "the popular vote," not "electoral votes," particularly since it's impossible, under the US election system, to win the president

A monopoly is not _just_ a company that controls 100% of the market. If pure monopolies were the only kind the term referred to it would be all but useless. https://bizfluent.com/about-6601606-monopoly-economics-.html

The pilots are definitely not "mostly asleep" on long flights. There will be two qualified pilots monitoring the aircraft at all times during the flight (with the possible exception of one stepping out for a moment to use the rest

You keep posting this, but it's simply not true- Qantas flight 72 did not experience an AoA sensor failure, and even if it had, the A330 uses all 3 independent AoA sensors and all 3 independent air data inertial reference units to comm

The compelling reason is that users have a right to know what they're vulnerable to, and how they can protect themselves, or at least mitigate the risk. Once a patch is released, the changesets get examined, and the binaries get revers

What if I _like_ being a pervert? If I like midget porn, or have a foot fetish, why exactly should I have to suppress that? It's not illegal, and it's not immoral, but I'd still prefer my coworkers not be aware of the specifi

The new, more economical engines are physically bigger, so in order to maintain the required ground clearance the engines were moved forward and up. This gave the plane a tendency to nose-up in certain extreme circumstances. MCAS was suppos

As an Israeli, I'm not sure the IDF has even a single all-female unit. Most of the service is quite definitely fully integrated. You appear to have no idea of what you're talking about here.

That is only a slightly less stupid argument for why women can't fight than the "women get irrational for several days every month" argument. If you're worried about them getting pregnant, provide access to contraceptive

That's not the target standard, that's a basic baseline. When you're worried about violating neutrality by denying service based on potentially subjective moral judgements, using at least the low bar of an almost-universally

On the other hand, you _are_, possibly intentionally, mixing the concept of open-source as defined by the OSI, and proprietary software as defined by the FSF. You're acting as if proprietary software is the antonym of OSS, and citing t

No, I'm sorry, that's not how things work. You can say the license isn't "open source." The term has a well-defined meaning provided by the OSI, and they arguably have the right to define what it means and which lic

What does "pre-vaccinated" mean in this context, exactly? Vaccinations only come in the "pre" variety; once you've caught the disease, vaccination is unlikely to do any good. Some diseases (e.g.: rabies) have a long
