It's the human rights council now, but you're right. Didn't think the UN was a particularly effective body at any rate, but that's ridiculous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Right

I'd love to have the leverage to do that, but I don't. The vast majority of companies see nothing wrong with this, and I'm not so in demand that I can filter based on office space.

It's minor, sure, but the EU is responsible for the widespread deployment of "we use cookies, hope that's cool" banners. Even if you don't think it's as stupid as I do, it's definitely an example of the EU

Just as coffee "beans" are actually seeds. This information is of no use to the vast majority of people unless one finds it enjoyable to be pedantic, but it is a neat bit of trivia all the same.

Compared with wifi, though? Trying to screw with your wifi equipment requires just about any laptop sold in the last ten years. Trying to screw with your Zigbee equipment would presumably require me to go find some kind of dongle. Of course

That really hurt when I was taking Discrete Math. Extremely challenging course, and I'd put in 10 hours a week on the homework and still have a few that I just couldn't figure out. Practically cried when I saw people copying answe

>And you'll have to explain Rexulti and Abilify to me. Abilify isn't an antidepressant, it's an antipsychotic. I hadn't heard about Rexulti until today, but Abilify is heavily marketed as an adjunct therapy for treatm

We could perhaps say that men and women both experience strong emotions but that both the emotions and the way they've been socialized to express them are quite different.

Does allow them to indicate that they're not dead or unconscious, though. The radio has already failed at this point.

That's pretty shocking even for America. Malad City is pretty remote (population around 2000), but I've never seen a more literal example of "clinging to guns and religion."

I've occasionally been known to let my annoyance get the better of me, and post a complaint about the article. Many times it's because an article exhibits a "helpful" feature that frustrates the way I use my computer; th

You don't see a whole lot of people taking lengthy trips in their cars to achieve trivial perks, though.

Mostly the kids are using emojis in IMs these days. I can't really tell what they're trying to say, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone.

My rental contracts are always standard and calculated from a table based on how long I want to commit to a particular unit. I've never gotten any sort of quid pro quo for paying on time and not being an asshole. From the sound of it,

They'd need to address the powerful incentive to create fake reviews.

Since we're all sharing debugging lessons I thought I'd include one for .NET. In System.Runtime.CompilerServices, there are attributes that can be very useful for a logging interface: CallerMemberNameAttribute, CallerLineNumberAt

Obviously this is a controversial sentiment but it's refreshing to see somebody state it so plainly. The idea that I get special privileges I didn't earn is uncomfortable, but if we're going to try and change that I am scared

I doubt that's practical in the US. The country has many miles of state highways (and the older US Routes; US 41 north of Chicago is a popular bypass for a toll road) for which a limited-access road with no at-grade intersections is fa

Maybe this should get brought up every time the Internet scoffs at America's weak social programs.

I'm not actually sure what the criteria for subsidies are; I made too much to qualify last year, I hope to get back to work soon and make too much to qualify this year. I don't know how "annual income" shakes out in thi

I have chronic fatigue that, until treated, was quite disabling. I have some other more private health concerns that add up to about twice my rent. If you have a chronic health condition, access to health care is a major and fundamental con

The asymmetric value (producers need Google's favor more than consumers) leads to SEO as an industry, which in turn isn't always great for consumers. I can't remember which items off the top of my head, but every now and then

That's very interesting, I've never heard of that. Apparently it's a tricyclic, but doesn't have the same side effects that have caused most tricyclics to fall out of use. Never approved in the US, either, though curre

My "discontinuation syndrome" was coming off desvenlafaxine. My access to it was suddenly taken away so I had no choice but to sit through the brain zaps for probably a week or two. You can't be sure how long it's going
