> And if they had it the Russians would post it _everywhere_. Judging by how heavy our media propaganda is surrounding this war, I'm sure we wouldn't see it. All I hear about is how badly Russia is losing the war, even

In a world where almost all of the major news organizations lied about the Hunter Biden laptop story ("save 10% for the Big Guy"), calling it Russian disinformation leading up to the election when they knew it wasn't, I think

Or another possibility is men and women are wired differently, and the things that make a good dev (such as coming up with a novel solution to a problem) is different from the things that make a good QA (testing every possible edge case to

Siri & Alexa (and I think Cortana) are She's, so there's that. Maybe it's just like how boats are always referred to as She's. Also reminds me of the NY Subway voices where a female voice was used to convey helpful i

Every year there are around 1,000 people killed in police interactions. Every year around 25 of those cases were people who were unarmed and/or not actively trying to kill the police officer. Now, that is 25 too many for sure. But in a

Vey well stated. I would be curious to hear the counterpoint from someone who is pro-public sector unions.

Cool, so it looks like they still have one left! It's been so long since one inflicted any damage after seeing multiple strikes per day.

Well let's test it out. How many genders are there (Wikipedia lists over 50), and what defines what constitutes a gender? I'm especially interested in the ones that aren't man or woman - how are they defined?

Did we ever get an official explanation of what " 10% for the Big Guy " was referring to? I know it's been confirmed as authentic, but I haven't seen the official explanation for what was meant by it. I'm not intere

The Kyiv Independent? Something tells me their reporting may be as trustworthy as Russia Today.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to all the HIMARS? We were getting daily videos of their exploits, and then it started to slow down and now I can't recall the last time we saw one in action.

I didn't think I need to state the obvious, but clearly I meant "for so long". If it's been secret revenue for any length of time in a public company, that is the part I'm trying to understand.

Content will follow the same law of supply and demand as everything else. Since we literally can't increase demand anymore (everybody is online all the time already), the exponential increase in supply is going to drive the cost of con

My position is exactly as stated - everyone should have a well-founded fear of opiates considering the countless lives they've destroyed. That doesn't mean they should never be used for pain management, but that anybody who uses

Maybe a dumb question, but how exactly is this sort of revenue kept secret in a publicly traded company?

by yucky 4y ago
Sort of contradicts your original point though. But at this point we're entering Reddit-level discussion so there isn't much reason to go down that rabbit hole.

Funny, I remember when we were called crazy conspiracy theorists for saying this not too long ago. Something tells me there will be no apologies.

Millions in the US alone. The EEOC is still processing claims from that period and don't appear to be close to being caught up. And that's the ones who bothered to let themselves be fired rather than getting the shot.

That reminds me of the recent article showing Detroit Public Schools having the distinction of both the highest per pupil spend and the lowest test scores in their state by a wide margin.

There is no such thing as a popular presidential vote though. Using a baseball analogy, scoring more runs in a series doesn't matter, winning more games does. So you build your strategy with the idea in mind that if you're going t

Do you feel the same about all of the coverage dedicated to issues that affect women more than men? That the framing in those cases is not constructive? Or in matters of issues presented as impacted one race more than another?
