Those would still be the exception rather than the rule. Not the ‘standard.’

Yep. If the only thing enforcing healthy work boundaries is physical location, there are other, deeper issues at play.

How do they keep birds from eating the fruit? In my personal but limited experience, birds tend to eat certain kinds of fruit long before it ripens enough for human consumption.

I think you can feel empathy for the researcher and dolphin involved, but it isn’t wholesome; the experiment was traumatic and kind of insane. However, you can see that the caretaker really did try to do her best for Peter.

Why the heck would Xi have any interest in that? What leverage could other countries employ that would incentivize him playing nice?

Care to expand on that statement? Seems like quite an assertion.

Doesn’t sound like of a test so much as full implementation.

How can someone come on hackerNews (of all places) and claim the great firewall is a useful way to prevent disinformation? It just ensures that the only kind of information is the kind friendly to the ruling that party.

It is difficult to parse what you are saying, your post consists of a single run -on sentence is too long to follow.

I am going to push back on this. Creating something of value is better than gambling, which is why founders have more prestige than lotto winners. Even if luck is a significant component to success, it isn’t the only component.

This has gotta be a publicity stunt. It can’t be very useful a analysis to get the input of one person on something as subjective as a mattress. Some folks like firm mattresses and others prefer soft ones. You’d think they’d want a varied p

I feel like such a law would have to be very carefully crafted; otherwise it would just make the money change hands a few more times before finding its way into the same pockets.

I am curious about the phrase ‘little village, big hell.’ What does it mean, exactly?

Does it? Doesn’t sound like irony. Russia gave refuge to Snowden. If something makes the US look dumb, Russia will likely back it.

Meth addiction can also really mess with sex drives. In college I had a friend who was a social worker and she said that with the growing meth usage meant increased child sex abuse, basically due to parents getting high and then messing wit

Most of the frontline workers I know already have had the disease; they already possess the antibodies and have not suffered re-infection. I wouldn’t get it either if I were them, it isn’t necessary.

Kind of like the Swatstika. People (often American) freak out about historical uses of the symbol by Asian cultures, due to ignorance of the Swatstika predating the 3rd Reich. The Nazis appropriation and modification of the symbol doesn’t m

This has not always been the case. 10-15 years ago Walmart employees would detain suspected thieves or even physically subdue them.

Does it work, though? Bears have fairly poor eyesight, I wonder if the weird noises are the scariest aspect for them.

Probably a good call- quitting your job go open an event venue in an Eastern European castle sounds like the beginning of a vampire novel.
