My wife sort of independently made up this term. She didn't complain or say anything really, she just quit and her colleagues threw her a party. Everyone knew it was because she got passed over. She didn't have to say a thing and

I am going to half answer as a guy with a law license in California. My guess is Reddit thinks that as long as your username is deleted they’re OK. This is problematic if you have posts that identify you. I’m also going to guess that that d

If you are allowed to use R for base and exponent then this is tautological because Z is a tiny subset of R. And factorials are by definition in Z, which is closed under multiplication. If the linear relationship is the interesting part the

Just like when they stopped him from dumping a bunch of stock to buy Twitter? This entire thing is cringe inducing and even more WWE-ification of everything.

(Mild) inflation benefits debtors. The people who benefit from constant prices are the rent-seeking class, who never have to take on any risk to keep income. You have this backwards just as the people you claim to dislike want. Your #1 debt

I am a non-practicing lawyer who has moved on to other things and even still, I would never draft a software license because it wasn't remotely my field. Either you need someone who can take the time to learn all of the ins and outs an

Every time I quit a social network I get happier. By quit, I don't mean I block the website, but that it's read only and only when I need to. I got happier about 10 years ago when I quit Twitter. A little while after that, I quit

Script written in 1982. People thought he had access to classified info, but he didn't.[1] He was just using what we now call OSINT. There is a lot more about SOSUS in Red Storm Rising which was only a few years later. [1] https:&#x

Yes, people knew it's true purpose then. They were wrong about how it was laid out, but people knew about it. It was declassified 30 years ago or so. And much of it was not top secret, just secret. We use entirely different computers

Of course it's possible, but this isn't one of those things. Certain aspects of the systems are breathtakingly reported as "top secret" in the press, but the existence of sonar systems good at hearing and sifting noise t

That doesn't matter, dude. This is all set up on an ICS model. They're highly coordinated. Turn on your news sometime and one guy, a fire chief, a sheriff, or maybe rarely a military guy will be speaking and it won't be becau

SOSUS may have been classified but you could read about it 40+ years ago.

You can look through my comments on this if you care, but I've been for the protests. What I've thought is that everyone needs each other. Reddit needs the mods. Reddit needs the users. The users need the mods, and, obviously Redd

Accepting arguendo that this means he hired some lesser qualified people, is there any evidence AT ALL that it was one of those people that are responsible for this? All the video I've seen of this guy makes him seem almost suicidally

You're my favorite tech writer these days probably because I find myself nodding yes to so much. I think the problem with email is a lot like, the problem with reddit. Something's broken, but we need a whole lot of people to make

Unless you have serious concerns about a Tower-of-Babel-like incident, having a "lingua franca" (what a recursively ironic term), I think, can bring people together. Did it have to be English? No. Will it always be English? I doub

Microdosing doesn’t seem well supported, and I guess some people have varying definitions of what is or is not a psychedelic, but lots of legitimate medical uses are more and more well supported. Anything that can help with PTSD and addicti
