So if you can retire early, complaining about your employer makes you a jerk?

I find it so weird that so many software developers think they're being paid fairly in the face of Google having massive reserves of cash just lying around.

> They also came up with other great ideas, including adding a tool that automates the first coding task and removes a candidate’s identifying information. This doesn't really fit that narrative.

Here's the problem though - how do people determine that they're suitable judges of whether someone is marginalised or not?

by tomlock 9y ago
Alright, but how do you determine it isn't a justified belief?
246.
by tomlock 9y ago
It could. But what evidence is there of that?

I don't think its as bad as all that! I think people do care that reasoned argument seems to be drowned out by toxic soundbites, but there's just currently no good way to interact with the world without using toxic channels. I&#

Since Ronald Reagan there's been a precedent set that it isn't a bad thing for conservatives to have previously been in showbiz. Same is definitely true on the "other" side. I honestly would prefer to see some salt-of-t

This sounds like a big number, but consider this - if less than 10% of Americans are millionaires then this means that millionaire parents are more than twice as likely to have millionaire children as non-millionaires. This shouldn't g

You're right, I wouldn't say your grocery store is an advertising company because they put Crest at eye level - I'd say they're an advertising company because they likely sell your loyalty card data to 3rd parties for $$

Apple makes revenue from ad sales - Apple is therefore also an advertising company. They're the lesser of two evils. Still an evil, though.

Apple is also an advertising company - they have unique IDs with your personal information pinned to them, and they sell ads based on your location, too.

Apple has location-based ad targeting on by default, too. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT205223

I may just be a super-cynical ad-tech exile, but I see this as a path to getting shown more ridiculously well-targeted ads based on the places and stores I've been in. Beacons haven't taken off and I'm glad they haven't

That interview seems deliberately casual though. Could it be that sometimes the perception that someone is "effervescent" is attributable to a tendency to perceive women as "effervescent"?

Is being globally public enough reason to think its not creepy? I'm pretty sure the road outside my house is public, but it is still creepy if someone in a clown costume stands motionless in it and points at my bedroom window at 3am e

+1 for this. I know plenty of feminists that hang out with Goreans. Seems like an imagined opposition more than a real one.

Why are you so invested in the notion of outrage being a real social issue? What are you trying to attack? Where have you seen it in relation to this thread, where you bought the issue up?

by tomlock 9y ago
You're using "socially accepted condition" as evidence for their being an outrage problem in society. Now you're claiming I am applying this to definitions. Your claim about there being an outrage problem in society isn

by tomlock 9y ago
As I've said before, I don't think any evidence you've presented is sufficient. Issues "for many people" have previously included: Whether women should vote or not. Was that an indicator of a serious issue, or shoul

Why are you focusing on global discussion? Perhaps you're trying to move the goalposts? Plenty of things are globally discussed. Bigfoot for example. I'm sorry you feel like I'm "laser-focused on extracting something&
