I don't think that's what anyone is arguing. People are arguing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to the american republic, not that he would be "bad for minorities". The racist thing is bad, but really only a s

I fight with maven every day. I was just being snarky, the fact is maven can be abused in the same way anything can. Gulp gets insane when people start writing opaque custom tasks. Maven gets insane when people write opaque plugins. Nothing

You say you are over node, but I don't think you are. You need to let go and move on.

At least it's not maven.

At-will means at-will. That said, larger companies generally have policies that require documentation and a "personal improvement plan" (PIP) before termination for cause. This is mostly to provide documentation in the event of a

This is a good article, in particular the first point that the "super star" cities were affordable places to live from the late 60s through the early 90s if you didn't mind a pretty gritty situation. However, I don't thi

Best way to not carry a balance is to not have a credit card. It's very easy to say "don't carry a balance" but most people do. When I used credit cards I often carried a balance, despite my best efforts. If you have the

Amazon sells Duracel and Energizer as well as super cheap shady crap from China. The same seems to be the case in every category.

Technologies like autopilot are going to save lives. This was one of around 90 fatal traffic accidents in the US on the same day (based on historical averages). It's going to be hard to make a foolproof system, however anything that ma

It's not automated. They take the data and use it to help create a CG car, but the final work is done by human animators. It might not fool "car guys" but a large number of car commercials shoot with CG cars now.

"The reason this bath water is so dirty is that there is a baby in it" Policy matters. The right wing proposal is religious discrimination. In the US we don't make exceptions for religions we don't like. You don't h

You have a right to say or think whatever you like, but that doesn't mean people are going to like it. I find what Yavin has written to be so odious it taints the entire project (which isn't common, normally I just don't are)

It's a pretty well established system in marine applications, so it seems like a good idea. Of course, the hard part isn't the tech, it's building a company.

"science". This stuff comes from this org: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Coalition_for_Dr... and Dr. David Healy, long time campaigners against antidepressants. Draw your own conclusions.

You are asking a person who clearly has spent a ton of time figuring out how to manage their weight if they've tried calorie tracking?

Or perhaps when a woman hears someone say "as a single man I would like more women in my field" she runs as fast as she can in the other direction?

I worked at a .com era startup that went through something similar. Biggish acquisition offers came in circa 2001, but much smaller than the theoretical enterprise value if the product worked out. Company finally sold in 2005, preferred sha
