Why is the commentary of far-right reactionary, who is not a legal expert, commenting on a canadian law, that has nothing to do with warrants, with a citation pointing out that legal experts disagree with him, at all relevant to this conver

To be clear, what's not mentioned in that Federalist article is that the child does have the mother's parental consent, from whom the father is currently separated. > mitigate regret, remorse. There are any number of studie

I agree with you, but I also think the commenter you're replying to agrees with you. The issue is not that Tesla FSD should come with the hardware, the issue is that if I buy the hardware I should have the right to do whatever I want w

There's some internal debate about this in the Jewish community. Many Russian Jews were actively speaking Hebrew and publishing, for instance, Hebrew newspapers while western European Jews were mostly speaking Yiddish. Regardless I thi

Hebrew could have been considered a "Dead" language until it became the state language of Israel.

Something that I've been looking for as I try to learn more about WebAssembly is good examples of tasks that, when converted from Javascript to WebAssembly, would be good uses of WebAssembly for performance or memory or other reasons.

Buying an item, and then selling it later, is not effectively renting. It's buying an item and then selling it later. The fact that they had the option not to sell and could choose to exercise it doesn't disappear when they do cho

I want to say: I don't talk as casually as this in a work channel, though I do sometimes discuss politics and current events. That's not because I don't think it's professional, but rather because I'm jewish and w

Discord's voice chats have no apparent upper limit in how many concurrent users they support - they basically say "the upper limit is how many your client device is able to support without crapping out". I haven't read i

I see this comparison a lot and I want to point out exactly why it’s false: We oppose discrimination against protected classes because generally we recognize that people cannot elect into or opt out easily of those classes. It’s generally g

do you have any links to these statements? I was one of the very-upset users and I missed this.

I don't really see how that's relevant to the specific issue of scientific rigor, and in this case is a strangely one-sided issue. as Dr. Gebru pointed out, soon after she took steps towards legal action against google (I don&#x27

I think there's a place for HR to help somebody give feedback about social or work-style issues. If somebody has a track record of getting defensive with face-to-face feedback it might be useful to have a manager present as a mediator

If somebody used HR as the mechanism to communicate feedback on the scientific rigor of research I was leading I would also find that concerning and objectionable. Human Resources is not peer review.

I think maybe we're a bit too far afield. I don't think people are talking about phrases like "a little problem" or "a big deal". Do you take issue with the point I raised about "falling on deaf ears?&quot

Thank you! Given that, why is it so difficult to assume that folks might be making a genuine argument with respect to "master/main"?

I said this to another commenter who pointed out that "walk in my shoes" could be excluding language to folks who are paraplegic, I'm honestly happy to hear this feedback and consider using more inclusive language. Frankly th

I really appreciate your thoughtful take here. One thing I think is important to note is that I don't want, and I don't think any hearing impaired person would want (though I can't speak for all of them) for you to spend real

Well, Honestly, this is a great point. However, I don't think I owe you all an apology, and you'll notice that I never asked anybody for an apology for using "fall on deaf ears" or anything else. I did say we should pr

I don't really understand why it's okay for you to tell other people what they have a "right" to be offended about, but not okay for them to tell you that they're offended about it. Additionally, common usage of the

I don’t really get this sentiment. Are you so absolutely dedicated to the phrase “falling on deaf ears” that if somebody says to you “hey, that phrase might hurt somebody’s feelings, can you use an alternative” you take it as some sort of m

A decade ago Facebook did not own Instagram or WhatsApp. Framing this as "Facebook and Google have not changed how they operate" is disingenuous, seeing as Anti-trust has generally been enforced over what is in the interest of the

How come the argument "you can just buy an android phone" doesn't apply to iOS users in the same way "you can just sideload an APK" does to Google play store users? This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm ge

I added "Slate Plus platform as a service" to clarify what this is actually a link to as I didn't think just "Supporting Cast" was actually informative.
