This also comes from the fuzziness of the boundaries. Many men who are attracted to other men will not admit they are bisexual or homosexual. This is why the term "MSM" aka men who have sex with men is sometimes used. It is easy

I don't think this is particularly surprising. Advertisers often won't run their ad on a particular show on TV because of its content. Youtube is most likely bowing to advertiser pressure on this.

I also wonder this! CRS-8 was launched on the 8th of April this year, so given that the launch of SES-10 is slated for Q4 2016, that means there's like, 6/7/8 months for the turnaround. But I'm hopeful that we'll se

I now code. In school, I tried to learn to code several times. But I always stopped, I think because I didn't have any desire to build things that didn't make a "product". I learnt to code when I had something to make t

I'm an Aussie and use one of the big bank's apps on a s6 edge (the edge is weird and I hate it). Contactless payment already works great in exactly the way that a credit card does as a store terminal. Anyone know if Samsung gets

I agree, for the most part. But the increase in tax or government spending is something that I feel like the taxpayer would likely not fully support! I think everyone wants better infrastructure, but not only better infrastructure.

I'm with you there! I'm glad this exists! But I think the ideal outcome across all the stakeholders would probably end up a compromise - because this is primarily about the Engineer's opinions, in my view.

After I looked at this page I immediately wondered who funded it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_of_Civil_Engi... An interesting read! My main, and likely cynical take away from this however is that thi

Maybe, but at some point a hungry orca starves.

Maybe they do it because less food for orcas means less healthy orcas to hunt their own calves?

I think that's a totally fair reason to ask for a takedown. Like they said, the music wasn't the subject of the analysis so I'd think it isn't fair use. However I'd be interested to know if they contacted Lewis dir

I wonder how many of the suicides and overdoses are veterans? Farmers? Both those communities contribute here. I've seen smaller scale outcries on veteran and farmer/rural suicides and drug use. Couldn't this lack of large

Imagine 10% of your community dies a year. Now imagine 0.1% does. Do these differing percentages make any difference to your sense of urgency and willingness to fight the problems causing those deaths? No? Well ok then.

by tomlock 10y ago
Well, the contrast lost me because population size wasn't contrasted.

by tomlock 10y ago
The aids epidemic affected a much smaller community than the suicide and drug problem does, though. So I'm a little lost by the comparison.

This is entirely unrelated to marriage, so brendan eich should be spending his money on other lobbying efforts if that was his goal.

by tomlock 10y ago
But marriage also imparts many other rights not directly related to children, and not all marriages can or will produce children, hetero or otherwise. This has always been true, so arguments relating to children as the reason for marriage

by tomlock 10y ago
Perhaps then the discussion should be about why tax breaks are erroneously associated with marriage, which in many heterosexual unions doesn't produce children (should we ban marrying a post-menopausal woman?), than about why homosexua

by tomlock 10y ago
From your perspective, restricting marriage to a man and a woman isn't anti-gay. And that belief isn't inherently anti-gay in my view. But the real effect of enforcing laws surrounding that view includes: missing tax breaks, mis

I think SJWs would respond that meritocracy has always been an illusion in tech because people will still hire for "culture fit". And the predominant culture in tech companies, by survey and measurement, seems to be male. The id

I think its important to draw a distinction between the past and now. In the past, many oppressed people would never have a chance to participate in "the discourse" because the mere act of them speaking could be seen as inappropr

Have a read of the "Notes by the Translator": http://www.fourmilab.ch/babbage/sketch.html Do you now think Lovelace was only useful to Babbage in the manner you describe?
