Would we? I am not convinced the amount of idiocy would be low enough to prevent problems. Most of the arguments I have seen have been "this is a hoax" type or other arguments not based in reality. I agree there is an arugement

I know someone working at a VC funded startup for a few years, they have way more employees than they probably need and seem to be paying 20-30% above the going rates to attract talent. That combination makes it hard to turn a profit. Yet

My initial thought on Ibuprofen is just correlation not causation. How many people who get a fever will try Ibuprofen to try to lower the fever? Probably quite a few. When these people die its easy to say "well they all had Ibuprofe

Even if you are right, in the US almost all old people vote and a small amount of young people do. Guess what that means for politicians? They do what is best for the old. Not to mention a lot of young people don't really want to wa

There is a hobby shop by me that strictly enforces it, as nerds and hygiene don't always go together. I have seen them kick multiple people out. It doesn't seem to negatively impact their business, and I prefer going there to pl

I wasn't out of college long, but I managed to survive two layoffs where I worked. We had almost no turnover in developers for a year or two because basically no one was hiring, normal for that job at that time was probably around 20%

I would never upload my DNA profile, but I have relatives who do. So I am not broadcasting the info, but other family members may. I am generally alright with law enforcement using public information like this, but it could be used against

If one or two doctors missed it, I would be ok, but basically everyone I saw ignored it. My neurologist thought something else might be causing it and sent me somewhere else to get it looked at. That was about half way through the process

I went through an annoyance with my vision. I ended up having two separate conditions (well a total of 5 things were wrong with my eyes, but two acive major ones and two that will eventually cause more surgery later but aren't a big d

Vote 3rd party, participating in the 2 party system is contributing to the problem. I realize there can be issues with some of the candidates but if none of the main 2 do what you want, vote for someone else. I rarely vote for one of the

I completely agree. At my first professional programming job, I had to follow a style guide that forced me to code the verbose way. It drove me nuts and I found another job about 6 months later. The less lines of code, the faster you can

I am going to guess its more than just getting the new cert. They need to get the new cert, they need to resign all addons and then they some how need a way to force everyones browser to re-enable them. This could go on for quite some tim

Hopefully management being fired. This reeks of management not letting the technical team automate something or other bad decision making that lead to this. If one person was in charge of it and they messed it up, that is as much the faul

This is affecting people in their 50s+, a lot of our evolution people had and raised offspring before this occurred so there was no evolutionary pressure to keep your vision much past that. It was good enough.

Bill Hicks does a good job of explaining my thoughts on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHEOGrkhDp0 But on a more serious note, while I somewhat agree that not all marketing is evil, some absolutely is. I do no

Yes, but in many private companies you are paying the bill as well. Anyone that does work for the government you are paying for, whether it be food service for government employees, insurance for government employees, etc. Also, any time

I have had to explain this to my dad multiple times before he fully understood and I consider him to be a smart person. I have no idea how this applies to the general population, but they do not make it that obvious if you are not paying a

I switched about 6 months ago. I love having the catchall address although I had that when google managed my custom email domain as well. The web interface is really fast as it does operations in the background so it is really responsive,

Depending upon tone, some people may view it as a "I am holier than thou" type comment. I cannot drink for legit medical reasons and when I tell people that the common reaction is "have a drink anyway" but I haven'

IANAL but I believe it is illegal to read mail in this way. You have an expectation of privacy with a letter. Same with your house, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy within it. That being said, I believe if this is cheap enoug
