Anyone who loves free market competition should oppose this blatant power grab by the corporations behind this.

I'm a leftist(demsoc), but frankly if they're willing to work without hostility toward their coworkers I am not particularly concerned with their positions on taxes or whatever. In fact I view the idea that someone can be fired be

I haven't observed it so it's probably a Bay Area/California thing. I'm in the south east and while it's slightly more liberal than the norm for the area most the people are still very capitalist, moderate right win

http://a.co/a8yEzzt A Manga Guide to Statistics. No I'm not being snarky, it's a great read and I highly recommend it. Sampling, why it works and the philosophy behind statistics are all a bit unintuitive and so

If your risk is less than it costs to build the software then that's totally acceptable, but what is unacceptable is billion dollar businesses using spreadsheets to manage critical business operations.

Probably because studies show that people who use excel to manage finance end up coming up with different numbers. JP Morgan lost 6 billion because of excel, and these are preventable problems. It's because you aren't codifying yo

Those examples are for public service announcements which aren't technically advertisements.

yeah logically it seems like it would be impossible to have patterns of synchronicity without asynchronous neurons.

I'm not actually confusing anything, and I don't see where your definition of "Moral evil" is coming from.I don't see why the right to self-harm is immoral. Tattoos and piercings are self-mutilation. I agree on the

A currency is only useful to the extent that it can be traded. Something which is 1 dollar one day and 10000 the next is worthless as a trading medium. It's why we don't buy and sell things in gold any more. We just sort of sit on

It seems to me that some libertarian capitalists are just closet authoritarian capitalists. Seeking more power for their masters just to get a bigger plate of slop. Naive of course, what incentive do they have to pay you back.

You won't get what you pay for if it's not being sold.

Natural monopolies are not illegal, anti-competitive ones however...

Nah, it's taxes. Pretty transparent really. They want to raise taxes and stimulate the economy instead of the opposite which has never ever worked.

Right there's a pervasive "I'm fine so can we not rock the boat?" instead of a "fuck you got mine". BI could be real good, but I'd kinda like to see it implemented on a smaller scale first...

I'll sell you facebook only service. You can just mail me your statuses and I'll mail you back their replies. It's 50 dollars a month.

Religious protections are disturbingly rock solid. Costs very little to try at least.

Yeah because you don't have to smoke pot to understand bodily autonomy, you just have to treat people with respect. If you've gotten drunk this month you don't deserve the job you have is basically what you're saying.

by vorotato 9y ago
Do you really think that's an appropriate job requirement? Should we also have fasting requirements for our jobs? For context I don't smoke, but I'm also not deluded enough to think that we should be testing arbitrary datapoi

by vorotato 9y ago
Sure but people still have bodily autonomy. Nobody has the right over anyone's body. You can tell them the risks, you can try to convince them to get rehab, but they ultimately have the right to do what they want with their body. Wheth

TLDR: Long story with a moral of document your steps, and read others documentation lest you fall into the same traps they did.

Proof of work is better than proof of stake as proof of stake makes it easy for those with the most power to forge transactions rendering it useless to anyone who actually sought out cryptocurrency in the first place. Proof of work is just

I'm pretty sure that's actually not what would happen. If you could attack sha-256, then you could forge all the transactions in the network and take all of the money. Then people would lose faith in the currency and do something

Males receive public assistance in roughly equal proportion to women. It's not a fact if you don't know that it's true and don't have any evidence.

If you can't abstain from sex for 30 days it's a sign that you can't get your shit together, abstain from sex and pass a sex test.
