Yeah, it's hard to have sympathy for Google on this one. It's literally corporate virtue signaling that's blowing up in their faces.

My idea for solving this revolves around the same concept as the "Snooze" feature in Gmail. When saving, estimate the timeframe you hope to read it: 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, "someday". Then condition yourself

I don't think that's necessarily true. The economics of online dating seem fairly straightforward. Given a pool of men that are willing to speak to them, women will focus their attention on the highest value men in that pool. U

Ironically the US already has tax funded healthcare, but only the most active voting block (old people) receive it.

This same comment posted 3 or 4 months ago would have been downvoted into oblivion. Now it's the top comment on this article. It's good to see peoples' perspective is becoming more reasonable on this issue.

If you want the term to google to read more about this, it's called the FEIE (foreign earned income exclusion). You're allowed to exclude up to a certain amount of your income each year from federal income taxes (for 2020, it&#x2

I'm genuinely happy that SF is seeing peaceful protests, but I spent 2 weeks driving through National Guard checkpoints in my city due to violent unrest, and I'm aware of at least 5 other cities who were similarly affected. Minim

Sure, I've actually used that analogy before myself, so I can't judge your use of it :) My point was that in this case, people are expecting lockdown to stop the reaction entirely, when in fact the control rods are only intended t

I've heard this many times but I don't understand the thinking behind it. How could a lockdown shorten the duration of a pandemic? AFAIK there's only three ways a pandemic ends: (1) eradication: we control the spread so eff

The appropriate phrase I've found to be effective for when someone is wasting my time is "this seems to be out of scope for me right now". It forces someone to justify why this waste of your time is somehow relevant, which t

I don't expect this to be true in the short to medium term, as the large shift would take place in larger companies who have already attempted this and demonstrated quite clearly that they do not know how to outsource work to lower cos

The logic the Netherlands used to counter the "only can help" argument is that wearing cloth masks can lull people into a false sense of security where they are less observant of social distancing because they are overconfident in

I would be curious to see how many people who audit university courses for no cost/credit finish them.

I think you're reading more than I said. We appear to be saying the same thing, that keeping it "under control" is the only possibility at this point. I think the cost/benefit ratio of masks clearly points to it being

Yeah I would say it's not ridiculous to ask for, but would be ridiculous if the judge granted it.

> The more people willing to do that, the faster the spread will stop. I've seen this line of thinking a few times, usually in reference to self-quarantine and/or wearing a mask, and it doesn't really make any sense to me.

Which word do you approve of? It seems like every terminology gets cliche at some point, but this is the first time I've heard of someone who has strong feelings about the "founder/co-founder" title.

I'm not going to defend police culture. It's toxic without a doubt. But if we're removing things they're allowed to use, what are they going to replace it with? In an ideal situation the police would always substantia

As far as I can tell from googling "Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint", it's just a rear-naked choke, which was not what killed George Floyd. Or Eric Garner. It's used on a daily basis in jui jitsu competition throughout

I understood your underlying point immediately. There's no shortage of people actively seeking to be offended by something. Add an out of context image grab and a clickbait title and you can be the next viral enemy of the internet

The one glaring difference from previous pandemics is that we are not quarantining our sick people from other members of their household, instead choosing to enforce "stay at home" orders. I'm not sure how much more evidence
