I don't know if its possible to contradict a... lack of sympathy or empathy. Its like the comment just fails to recognize how humans... feel... about being approached by their direct superior who controls their performance reviews and

My response: That comment displays such a blinding lack of empathy that my response only draws attention back to the words of the original post. Those points are poorly constructed, sociopathic, and worthy of scorn. :)

You should abandon your throwaway and talk to some of your lady friends in tech about their experiences. See for yourself if their anecdotes build up into something approaching quantitative - and ask them if anything was ever done about th

You wouldn't classify community participation and happiness as benefits?

The post above says the reasons of not enough benefits is typically offered as an explanation - so using a broad brush to say the left accuses people of being disconnected and racist contradicts that point.

Could you help me understand what those real anti-globalization reasons, that don't include receiving enough of the benefits, are?

In "Talking Funny"[0] Seinfeld tells a Louis CK joke and its an amazing example of how the two comedians differ. I feel like, at least for me, comedy isn't something I consciously analyze. To see its differences and techniq

I'd say that all questions of "good" are philosophically underpinned, so ethics is always preceded by some philosophy, whether or not "philosophers" are around or not. The article already begins by proposing that si

"Only" and "main" have two significantly different meanings so you actually stated two different arguments.

Yes.

I think your original argument was worded "only thing" not "main thing". It feels like you've changed your argument slightly.

Excel enthusiastically and automatically types oh-so-many things. It'll take dates and assume they are in american MM/DD/YYYY in some fields and then treat dates in the same column like 13/01/1986 as strings. That

I think over the past two years I've seen a sum total of one video about working at Google, and it featured a woman and a man. From what you're saying I can only assume I stumbled on a super rare video. Is that accurate?

The Sahara has low precipitation in part because the air passing over it has little moisture in it. Warmer oceans mean more evaporation and more precipitation in some parts of the world. Hotter doesn't necessarily always mean drier. A

One thing to note here might be that if network is the bottleneck you'd likely be asked the opposite. In my experience if people pay attention to indexes/partitioning they can win dba's hearts, but dbas often don't expl
