Whenever a police officer beats someone up of shoots an unarmed guy there quickly are the "they need more training" comments. Pretty much all of these stories including the one here is about basic decency, not about…

I repeat: > The idea that doctors ... are somehow immune to those effects defies logic. That claim was never made by OP. It doesn't matter that you responded with "evidence" to a claim you yourself made-up. Just stick…
It doesn't matter how many ethics courses are offered and taken. The only thing I ever retweeted on my otherwise completely empty and unused Twitter account so that I could copy and paste it when needed: "For evil to…
No, same problem here with latest Chrome on Windows 10.

Why exactly was my reply downvote-worthy guys? Yes I know asking for an explanation causes a lot more nasty voting. This is ridiculous, the site is getting more and more like reddit, and I blame the site's maintainers:…
But then you are looking at the wrong thing: You are no logger profiling/debugging Javascript but the Javascript runtime. Those tools do tell you the Javascript part, why do you say "superficial"? Example (memory…
It also is reasonable to know about cache misses so that you can do something about that if you decide that's possible. Do you think because it is not always valuable information, maybe even rarely (when you average…
This is a gross misrepresentation of the article. It is in your own head that he solely focuses on this one thing. When somebody says "this soup needs more salt" you start talking about how there always is too much salt…
It's always nice to see when people take even less than a complete sentence and pretend that this is what the author said and that this was all.
Revolutions require organisation - very good organisation. All you'll get from ordinary workers is, possibly, a riot, quickly subdued. You are also up against an extremely well-organised and well-armed government, but…

As a German I of course (quite irrationally) like the praise for "my" country (I actually feel I'm human, and being German is just birth luck, especially since I benefited enormously from the reunification). On the…

Works for me. Whenever you have such a complaint - and choose to make it public - please include more details. What system, what browser, add-ons (adblocker) at least. EDIT: Downvotes? For answering the question…

I'm not sure that would help much. I think the risks and uncertainties of long-term R&D increase much faster than any tax incentive can compensate for. My favorite story is the (real) history of Silicon Valley. I once…

As I said, I think the focus for the points of this discussion is the effect. No doubt everybody acts logically, I didn't suggest that everybody in those companies just lost their mind. This goes long the same lines as…
Not that I'm aware of in the context that my examples are from. They pay for independent(!) freelancer programmers and consultants, should be the same except for having just a single partner instead of many.
