Removing 'slave' from the vocabulary makes more sense than removing 'master', master is a term that predates its usage in slavery contexts. Asking (and explaining the logic of main vs master) would be better UX than forc

At some point, you are going to have to use some sort of force to confine or constrain to prevent the child from engaging in unwanted behavior. No matter what flowery language or loopy logic you use to avoid the subject, you are applying fo

With a key difference: "Your freedom of speech does not require me or your ISP to carry, propagate, or amplify your speech, whether for free or for pay." Start to see the problem here, yet?

This one's obvious. I've gotten ads ON OTHER PEOPLE'S DEVICES targeting me (a habitual blocker of ads). They were very industry specific and I was hanging out with people that would have nothing to do with that industry.

In some places though (see: algorithmic views of the primary content e.e. facebook or twitter, youtube recs), the recommendations can't be disabled. You cannot avoid the machine entirely, and all it might take is showing a thumbnail or

This is an amazing DFW essay and probably one of the only places that notes American Black English as an actual entity and a tricky issue to deal with, especially as an educator.

The (also legitimate) argument is that freedom of speech should extend to privately-owned de facto commons, and is a concept beyond the enumeration in the American Bill of Rights.

Lines like "kept the party going" make me think of David Foster Wallace's "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" and sound right on brand for a cruise line. Having read that titular essay, I have no desir

I wish wearing hospital masks was more accepted. Out of the listed reactions, it's probably the least overreaction possible, especially if it's a fashionable one and not actually hospital color...

"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" The cynical

I've been told more than once that your average Midwestern software engineer blows your average west coast engineer out of the water, but never seen it elaborated on like this. Tooling does make a great difference - I was shocked when

You might find the extreme gun fanatics this way, but for every one of those there are dozens that just have a regular weapon in the closet for emergencies and don't advertise it whatsoever. (At least in some jurisdictions, may vary ba

It's weird that I manage to do that entire list of things without saying a word aloud. It's luxury tech. That's where the market is.

Unfortunately, the opinions of others often intrude on your dream world, and determine whether or not you are employed, married, incarcerated, etc.

I've worked with this data on a daily basis. It's a cone of probability, which is about as reliable as you think it is. There are gridded wind speed forecasts (still probability) and NWS watches and warnings if you want something

Remember that in the end they will send you a bill for this entire circus, so unless it's an acute emergency you do not actually want any of this.

But at the end of the day, I'm just taking someone's word for it that this is all they send, and assumes that it won't change over time in a browser that regularly updates itself. It'd be a lot more acceptable if there w

"Just walk/bike to multiple stores if you're poor, lol!" No. In so many ways, no. If the trade off is to save a few dollars by running around for multiple hours per week to go to multiple stores (uses gas! or takes a lon

Why can't they just be a standup guy that has issues dealing with women in specific circumstances? Why are they defined by that specific case and not their holistic behavior?

This is a little myopic, GP is clearly trying to posit that "there are less unhappy people above 40 because they are more death-prone than their happy peers". I've seen some science headlines that sound like that's the c
