I think you are over reacting.

I don't know, if you spend $20k per person feeding them for a year, that one billion can feed 50,000 people. We shouldn't feed 50,000 people and do this other thing instead should probably have a very strong argument.

Or maybe they are aware of pre-online history? The red scare didn't need Facebook to get started.

The only mention of lawns in the article is this: > Water pollution is caused in large part by runoff from farms, urban lawns, and even septic tanks. When it rains, excess phosphorus, nitrogen, and other chemicals wash into lakes and riv

I dislike shallow dismissals like this. I can't play an instrument, but I can tell if you play one badly. I can't direct or write a movie, but I can give you my review and tell you if you should watch it. The idea that someone poi

> Hopefully someday we can move beyond the desire for grass lawns, since that's where a lot of this waste is coming from. Do you have a source for that? As someone that is farm adjacent (not just physically) my intuition tells me th

I'm sorry if I came off as rude, but "your holding it wrong" doesn't exactly engineer civility.

Yup, no option on desktop either. This is obviously not based on viewing history, YouTube is doing something weird just with the recommendations embedded into search results. For me these "you also might like" sections in search r

Nope. I get the exact same thing (to the point where I no longer search for things on YouTube, the thumbnails can be pretty disturbing). I've audited my history to check for that sort of thing. I think YouTube has just put me in a gen

Yes a play can no longer be performed, but a recording of a play is a different thing. A songwriter can stop anyone from making new covers of their song, but they can't order the destruction of your CDs.

For me it is the second worst thing. I'm trying to look for jobs that can be done from NZ. I don't care where the company is based. Searching for remote jobs brings up jobs that can only be done by people living in [UK, US, NL, DE

That seems... wrong? You can't unpublish a book by withdrawing the right and force the destruction of already sold copies. I believe DVDs fall under the same first sale doctrine, so this story seems to be missing some details.

Females generally get paid less for the same work that males do. If someone transitions male -> female should they get a pay cut?

Or just message someone and ask them if they have a few minutes for a call? Why do you need a extra meeting to have a sync point to ask for a quick chat. Just fucking talk to your team mates! Is everyone in kindergarten now?

A major missing piece of the picture here is the introduction of Road User Charges (RUC) for EVs. RUC are a tax levied on diesel vehicles in NZ. The idea being that the cost of maintaining roads is built into petrol taxes, but many (most?)

To be fair, it sounds like you are saying WeWork would have succeeded if only it had done things it didn't and not done things it did. That is different than saying that WeWork was successful.

The article starts: > It’s not certain when or where the first wheel was made. Nope, fuck that, I'm out. What an awful start.

This is all true, but it misses one nuance, your "competitors" might not be other products/services. In an untried space they are at likely as not to be manual processes emailing spreadsheets around.

You said it was about 9% of the state budget and that was next to nothing. If 9% is next to nothing then you should have no problems parting with next to nothing of your salary. I know that this would be a one time payment, I'm not ask

Why do you need personal passwords on your laptop to do your work? I'm not understanding this.

I don't think you are getting my point. You can totally ace an interview and then slack off. That's it, that's my point. Not the opposite, not something else, just that.

The premise of my comment was: if a person passes an interview using some tool and then uses that same tool to do the job, then didn't the interview work? You found a person (+ tool combo) that can do the job. If that person (+ tool co
