Why would that even be a problem?
It's almost like we can't force them to do things our way.
I suspect it can be solved in many different ways, but when you sell food by the pound, it's much more advantageous to distribute your limited quantity of nutrients in as much produce as possible. This seems really,…
You think the OP has never heard this before? This is the attitude that creates the guilt that weighs people down in the first place. You, like most people, are talking about the future. I'm sure you're about the 1000th…
Could be. I hope the intent is still encouraging!
The other commenter takes this somewhere interesting, but to me the main point is to not get trapped by guilt. That's why I say "you now" and not just "you". I'm not implying that you're the best you ever were, only…
This was always the problem with capitalism based on short-term gain, it will inevitably sacrifice loyalty for a quick buck. The same will happen or is already happening to online stores who do the same, eg by showing…
It's literally a therapist's job to help you figure this out, I don't want to undermine this. Please speak to a professional, you are not alone. In the meantime, here are some of my own "no bullshit mantras" I found…
I'm pretty sure they've been trying, but our bodies have evolved to distinguish actual sugar from anything else for a very long time.
I can't read the article, but the fact that they include suicide in the list indicates a strong possiblity that they did not control for socioeconomic factors. Maybe richer people drink more coffee, and also tend to die…
Well, it's all relative. Assuming all corporations are equally amoral (or close enough), defense means war profiteering, whereas (traditional) media is a blight on our society that has largely abandoned any pretense of…
As a programmer with morals, I would never work in pharma, defense or media. I can't be the only one.
> (b) they'd know you'd done it. That depends entirely on how exactly you do it. And knowing something and being able to prove it are two very different things.
I tend to agree, although I hate ads on principle. But there are a lot of things I hate and don't have to think about. I don't go around protesting the war because in my country that's not something I have to care…
I use Linux exclusively. You don't need a zero-day when everyone forgets to patch or takes a month to do so. To say nothing of the documented vulnerabilities with no available patch.
And Digg.
If the universities wanted the problem fixed it would be fixed. I truly don't believe research universities are focused on producing value (other than to themselves).
> Also, I think most people vastly overestimate the level of competence of VCs and especially the degree of due diligence that they do. They are just as easily wooed by great presentations and the typical sales tricks.…
I don't mean to attack the author rather than the article, but it's hard to take them seriously when they use terms like "liberals hate" and "lol" in an article that aims to be empirical. It's just so needlessly…
Maybe it looked better, but I think it felt better because it was much faster. This is a marketing push disguised as an aesthetic change. Mozilla, please stop trying to make Pocket happen, it's not going to happen.
You are right, I don't have rich friends who create wealth. But if I to choose one as a friend or mentor to make the world a better place, I'll side with the person not trying to game an entire society to get richer,…
I was commenting about this earlier, here's a link to a study that says otherwise: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/7/eaau1156.full Or rather, it says people who are advantaged (ie lucky) considerably…
The thing is, it's all luck. Policies are made with the idea that someone like you must have somehow "earned" it, and you may believe it yourself, but no one chooses to be poor. You were lucky enough to get a good job,…
It's more complicated than that. It can look something like this: https://xkcd.com/882/
You got me there! It shows the kind of market that can emerge when piracy is less practical than purchasing the software. My point still stands though for emulators on PC where I believe software piracy remains popular.
