The problem is that neither of those really seem to fill the shoes of Discord for us. In Discord I can do text chats, voice chat, can post gifs, and can even screen share. It also does all of that with no requirements for hardware or setup

Yeah I agree with all that for the current situation but how I interpreted the other person was that even if checking was absurdly trivial he would still be against it (obviously it can't happen in real life but it's just a hypoth

I'm a little confused, are you saying that there should be no copyright? It's a little hard to discern your position because if you are for copyright it would seem like you are against policing it.

I went to a private school that had less funding than the local public school but the students were more motivated so my school performed better. Funding helps but having a school with motivated students will always create a significant gap

I'm a little surprised at this sentiment because they are also very often vilified here. For pretty much everything they do you can find a few comments about how what they are doing is evil.

Most of the mistakes are pretty simple errors and with how many news articles are printed each day it would be weird not to have errors like this (also it's essentially impossible hundreds of journalists could be communicating with eac

People seem to dislike both ads and paywalls. I'm curious if sites will find another way to monetize eventually.

By the way the @ in "Latin@" is a gender neutral form in Spanish that some people use.

One thing weird for me is I've had issues with Javascript UIs on different platforms but Java backends running on different platforms actually have been pretty consistent. Is there something about javascript or UIs (or both) that make

Keeping all knowledge locked up would stifle innovation but not having trade secrects at all would also stifle innovation. Even IT orgs need some of their stuff to be proprietary sometimes

by tdb7893 8y ago
Knowledge sharing is often good but stealing trade secrets isn't really the same thing (just imagine a large corp stealing trade secrets from a startup and you'll see how it could stifle innovation)

So the tweet makes it sound like someone seized control but the email just makes it sound like this guy was just fired. I'm pretty confused

It's not the only way to get prior art but prior art isn't the only reason a tech company wants to try to get patents so I'm a little unclear on your point.
704.
by tdb7893 8y ago
Their main goal is to not get sued. As long as no one else is granted the patent they probably won't be too unhappy. As a large tech firm just not patenting anything doesn't seem practical given the current patent law even if you

"As a corollary, if Googlers are only from the top of the curve, then this may cause us to have more men than other, less selective, tech companies." It's not tech in general but he says that women are less likely to be suite
706.
by tdb7893 8y ago
Saying that women as a population are less able to do tech jobs seems functionally very similar to the original characterization of "suggesting women are biologically less-qualified than men for tech jobs".

Sometimes it is but the person was complaining about the wording "3,000-word memo assailing the firm’s affirmative action policies and suggesting women are biologically less-qualified than men for tech jobs" and I think everyone c

It's an easy mistake to make, he says in the memo that differences in both preference and abilities (emphasis mine) are partially due to biological causes.

What he was talking about was the impact of the specific rules that the market operators imposed so I'm a little confused how the market having rules invalidates the comparison.

I actually removed my ad blocker recently because I realized most sites I go to either don't have ads or they don't really bother me (hackernews, reddit, facebook, netflix, gmail, stackoverflow, various webcomics, etc...) and they

There are a lot of movies I went to after I saw an ad for it which I never would have searched for on my own (and I can say the same about restaurants and a couple other peoducts). Consumers aren't going to search for something they do

The reason I think it's mostly speculation and fraud is that the only people I know who have crypto currency in real life have it as a speculative investment and that combined with the fact that it doesn't work well as a payment p

I think the negative sentiment is largely because of how much the bitcoin evangelists promise. There's a lot of hype and lofty goals tossed around but cryptocurrencies have been around for nearly a decade (If I remember bitcoin started

We could broadcast the video on Bravo and call it "Real Senators of the US"! It would be like a better CSPAN. Edit: also we could call in votes like it's American Idol. I think we should try it, it couldn't be worse than

I think the premise that in debates one argument is "true" to be questionable. Which one is "true" generally seems to stem from what people value, which is inherently subjective.

"Transactions with financial institutions or consumer to consumer non-business transactions will not be affected" so my interpretation is that your use case doesn't apply but I'm not sure

It's to stop black markets. There are very few legitimate cash transactions over 10k as few people have that much in cash and cash transactions that big are very cumbersome.

I don't really work overtime (and if I do I take some hours off to compensate so it's not really overtime), it really depends on your company culture

I always wonder if the reason for "Cost of Living" pay is practical. If you are paying about the market rate everywhere it means you can hire from anywhere. If you just payed some set rate for everyone it could price you out of th
