Nah, the aesthetics argument is a distraction. Engaging with art is engaging with another human being. Finding out that the other human being is, in fact, a corporation in a trenchcoat sucks. I would go so far as to label it a feeling of be

Money presumably. The fact that it's comically expensive in per mile costs, in some cases nearly $1 billion/mile[1] in LA, in addition to maintenance costs would just nuke the ideas. [1] https://www.citylab.com/tran

Agreed. I don't know what they did but having to consistently re-categorize rent payments from whatever nonsense they were auto-categorized as killed it. Automation is great when it doesn't get things comically wrong.

Thankfully things can be factually accurate and still misleading. Kids mow lawns for a trivial cost when compared to professional landscapers. As such rampant child labor is undercutting and driving down wages for working professionals.

This isn't just unpopular, it's ignorantly wrong. I've done blue collar work and CS work. Also the whole romanticizing of busting one's ass pisses me off to no end. > IMO blue collar work is a better option because it

I may be off base here but this sounds an awful lot like perfect being the enemy of the good. Or, framed another way, idealism being the enemy of the pragmatic. Waxing poetic about everyday tragedy is all well and good as a rhetorical devic

Given the kind of burn rate those people have at government agencies I would guess that they have some form of partnership with aforementioned agencies. I glanced through their FAQ and site but didn't see anything specifying that howev

Considering the sheer volume of mobile devices in asia, and China in particular, this wouldn't surprise me. However, I was under the impression that "5g" doesn't actually mean anything. As in there is no technical defi

>You are naive. Did you work at world class companies that dominate their own market? Seeing as I'm currently sitting in my office at Adobe I would say yes. There are plenty of code jockeys like you churning out low-quality Java&#x2

People like you are the reason people like me are QA/SETs. Your velocity, in my view, is some slapdash worked-15-hour-days-because-they-thought-they-could nonsense that is more likely to crumble under load and/or the first edge ca

I currently live in Utah which, for those who don't know, is predominately of Mormon faith. While those rates aren't published for some pretty clear reasons the overwhelming majority of individuals I've spoken to within the i

Sure it's possible but one can hope we've grown beyond the majority needing a crutch to get through life.

Because a 10% tithe is definitely something the shrinking middle class and the hopeless lower class can afford. But putting that aside this sentiment of "look how bad things seem for people, religion can help" reeks of predatory b

According to this retailer (I think it's a retailer at least) "crash protection" is not really an included feature. http://www.trackandfieldmotors.com/info.php?car_id=133

You can make a Faraday cage out of a lot of stuff but I doubt you could get much in the way of power out of it. Granted you can't get much out of this either but it's measurable.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but wouldn't tech like this also sap signal strength like nothing else? This seems like it would be a potentially nice to have first layer in a secured room/building. Recoup some energy then actua

Hmmm. I still don't see it in this article at least but good on ya for knowing and pointing out that difference.

I may very well be and thank you for pointing that out. I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between those organizations without something like that link. But was it "BuzzFeed News" that got the layoffs or just "B

Edit: Ok so if I'm going to be cynical I like to at least be right about things. It has been pointed out that I am, in fact, wrong. So here is my best attempt at breaking out the series of events. Expensive, Pulitzer prize finalist jou

It came weirdly into vogue around 2013-2014 I think? It wasn't a massive thing but I do remember it coming up far, far more often than it has before or after.

I tend to agree with this point of view, but recently have started just taking more time off. At my current workplace I asked what their PTO policy was and everyone just kind of shrugged and told me to work it out with my manager. Which was

>That is an assertion, not a statement of fact. Pfft, according to you? Calling it an assertion suggests the statement lacks some form of support from reality. As opposed to the very clear fact that humans in the world are not entitled t

Perhaps I'm just absurdly cynical but getting a "Thank you" note for attending a meeting doesn't sound like a positive. At best it's neutral/just more email spam. At worst it feels condescending and/or chi

Not having a solution for a hard problem doesn't disqualify people from pointing to an obviously bad one and calling it out. This jank old.reddit.com fork is not the solution.
