I think where the comparison breaks down is that the laws of physics are the laws of physics. Reporting on them doesn't change them. But politics lives in the same world as reporting. It is shaped by it, politicians respond to it. So t

What does "got wrong" mean in this context, though? People said the media got those things wrong because they said "90% chance Clinton wins" and Trump won. But that's why they said 90%, not 100%. It feels as though

Did your toothbrush have lead in it? Hyperbolic example I know but this reporting shows that you don't know definitively.

They're worthy of tipping because they get paid shit-all. As you say, the actual answer here is tightening minimum wage laws so that they're actually effective, but given the state of DC these days I'm not holding out hope. S

Anything that excludes 11% of the market isn't universal at all though, which was the OP's original request.

None of that is true, though. It's taken as the only evidence we currently have. The government is free to dispute it, to disown it, and to publish its own contrary information. Still waiting.

The British establishment want Brexit. They are the masterminds behind Brexit. The idea that the establishment resists it is their greatest trick of all.

So because one leaked document is controversial (and last I checked the Steele dossier isn't confirmed to be all that inaccurate) we should disregard all leaked communications? That feels like faulty logic. Should we have dismissed Wat

FTP is not a secure protocol. That's why SFTP was made, even though it isn't really anything like FTP. In any case, integrating FTP in your browser absolutely increases your chances of an exploit, though. When was the last time th

They can also just not upgrade their browser, then. If they don't have the time/energy they're probably still on IE anyway.

Sensible move. I'm sure they have data showing it's used by an absolutely tiny number of users, and getting rid of it removes a source of potential security issues down the line.

He handed them to Project Veritas, which is maybe even more of a joke than he is. Have you actually read any of the documents are you relying on right wing media to interpret them for you?

He hasn't actually presented any meaningful evidence and is a kook that believes in QAnon. So excuse me if I'm more than a little dubious of his claims. https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-okeefes-google-whistlebl.

Couldn't disagree more. I took eight weeks off when my child was born and I couldn't be happier that I did. I fail to see why it isn't a "wise idea" and why returning to work quickly "seems better".

I don't know what state you're in, but both NY and CA have paid family leave laws on the books that entitle you to at least six weeks off. I don't know the full details, but you should seriously look into it. And don't w

Personally, I all but ignore equity in a startup job offer. Experience has taught me it'll either be worth absolutely nothing or be worth the equivalent of a yearly bonus at an established company. It simply isn't a big draw.
