In conservative towns, a call is usually a sign of mutual respect between the two parties involved. Making everything digital destroys the community between buyer and seller and is a reason why there is service fatigue and exhaustion in lef

We don't run internal honeypots and no one has ever been caught in our company, so I disagree. And yes, a reply may be "That you know of...", but considering that we run weekly audits and nothing has leaked, I can be 100% sur

Our Fortune 500 company uses the conferencing tool that I wrote up over a weekend, and when the exec asked me to auto-enable webcams, I immediately put my foot down and said no. I was considering disabling cameras altogether, but arguably t

I think it's important to be clear and concise when discussing these things, otherwise people can easily get confused, like the poster. Keep in mind that some of us operate on rigidity and what may be obvious to you is not obvious to o

Sounds like someone had a bad case of framework chasing and hype driven development. I support the original poster as developing your own is always better than reusing, no exceptions.

I disagree vehemently. Every time I reach for a JS framework, my fans spin and I get concerned that my notebook is going to take off to the moon. Writing my own, or better yet, staying away from JS altogether, has resulted in more stable, m

Why should we let the government mandate what we do with our own safety? I'm glad that the US is trending towards small government and fewer regulations, this is absurd.

It's a social norm in the US. If you don't like it, there are other countries to eat at.

What about including the free market of tax helper systems and services? You'll be wiping out an entire industry - doesn't seem very conservative to me.

Coal is very much alive in prospering countries, and I stand with other conservatives in that we don't need new fancy energy production.

It's crazy how many people on this forum are disagreeing with you. Has HN's truly lost its community and the old greybeards who used to stand up for free speech?

It's more likely you had a bad cold rather than COVID, considering that most of the symptoms are the same. All my friends in Texas say similar things.

I doubt it - CK is funded and the FTC is underfunded. Trusting the government over private in this scenario could be perilous.

The lack of free speech laws means its impossible to accurately determine whether the reported figures are accurate, since the government can just censor what they don't like. So no, I (and I imagine most conservatives) don't acce

6 weeks is all you need, before you can hand it off to your wife as she should have recovered by then.

I wouldn't back down in your scenario, as RMS says, all software should be free, implying that it should be open for us to change as needed.

I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with that - as humans we are generally hardwired to productivity, especially in conservative environments that I grew up in.

Anything you can do with a GUI, you can do faster and with higher confidence with the CLI. Stay away from toys like Git GUIs, and stick to the tools.

In our short lives, work will probably be the most fulfilling endeavor we undertake, and we should be grateful that there are so many great companies willing to offer jobs to workers like us.

How else are you supposed to intelligently judge whether a sweeping change like this will work?

Healthcare is a benefit and the lack of universal healthcare has resulted in a competitive market where customers are free to choose the level of care for their need and budget. Universal healthcare is the worst of all worlds, comparatively

> And pay those employees less than minimum wage if they can get away with it. Citation needed. Regardless, it's not up to companies to be charities - everyone is acting in their own best interest, of course.

Big companies with that money can hire more employees, offering the community more jobs and furthering our economy. It's very rare for a large company to take a subsidy and hoard it, or not use it for public goodwill.

That research seems heavily biased. I've talked to many women from many states and the majority opinion is that they'd rather the freedom and liberties in Texas (and similar states) than being regulated to no end in other states.

Agreed. We also have to consider the comparative ROI.

Perhaps controversial, but I agree with kelnos in that in order for a safe and secure society, sometimes we need to set examples and be stricter with our punishments.

I'm usually a believer in the free market, but in instances like these, I struggle with my faith. I can only pray that this was part of God's plan and that these kids will henceforth be enlightened throughout their lives.

My point was not to use a library, but that many others have implemented functionality in libraries without performance decreases. Granted, your use case may be special to the point where vanilla JS is better, but given how many libraries a

I'm no expert, but mouse drag events in React are fairly simple to get working performantly, even without understanding how it works under the hood. There are even many libraries that provide functionality, all without it running &#x27
