Is that a bluff or not? Would Canada actually prefer it one way or the other? What is the cost of making a Canadian team to tune results to Canada's laws? Is that less than possible earnings? Are all people equally valuable to Google o

"Spheres" Have look at the pic in the article, not exactly polished ball bearings. Those would be easy to ignore and nature makes plenty of more spherical rocks. Most rivers have shores with better looking "spheres".

> That depends on the worker’s goals. If the worker's goals aren't pro-worker then the business certainly won't be. Your goal of training others is admirable, but that can be often be remote and won't stop them from g

You just described yourself as tolerant. Tolerance in this context isn't the casual use, rather it means that you don't treat people differently for those immutable characteristics, however you get there. I don't think I agre

Why do you feel attacked? You aren't your ideas, and in this case you had a bad idea. You said that people not having an IDE was "bridge too far" meaning that people should always have them. We already had examples of where t

Trusting "big companies" because we presume they have guard rails seems like a bad idea, it is how we got the solar winds supply chain attack. When I worked for one of the largest voting machine companies I was astounded how the f

This person thinks this is a good use of their time. Why do we care what you think? You clearly don't care what person putting in the hard work thinks.

Mandating or expecting tools for others is a problem. Many code reviews are done in web settings, and that was an example you ignored fromt he person you responded. And you ignored any value that actually specifying the type can have. You a

The entire city of pittsburg has ongoing lead in tapwater scandals. To a lesser extant so has the entire state of Milwaukee. That is already millions, but... Flint still has problems. Brady Texas has radium, Washington DC has intermittently

This is also a major shift in culture and is likely to have unexpected side effects. Maybe those side effects are good, or bad, I don't know but zoning is a big deal and complex to the point of having emergent properties that should be

I have live in 5 different states, 3 had "free" municipal trash, 2 had cheap flat rate trash. Currently, I am in Omaha and if your weekly trash fits in the generous 100 gallon or so bin it is flat rate. If you need a second bin yo

I see a few possible takeaways from this. Maybe, these results are weird and might be in error somehow. Maybe, these results are more data that we have big gaps in our understanding of cosmology. Maybe massive headlines should be double che

You were fine with racism but not sexism? That was the line. Or was it somehow a joke or satire even though many of us have heard exactly that message in a serious context before?

You present a view preposterously one-sided. The FDA fines and sues companies not following the rules. They set a floor for behavior and mitigate frivolous lawsuits. This help companies and society, this is better for both. This isn't

Under such a system I wonder if people who quit from unsafe jobs more often because the companies would be perceived as less stable. Even if a purely free market solution doesn't work the employees could be lumped in with victims as th

If you hate relying on optimizations in principle, I have nothing for you, but if you pragmatically want your debug build to be more like your release build, then there are options. All the major C++ compilers support some variation on the

Making that scheme work wouldn't be the hard part. The hard part is staying out of prison. I am not convinced this is true, but I see that the possibility is there, and it wouldn't even be the largest stock market scam that came t
