You know what would make this whole thing more productive for better or for worse? Data. How hard would it be to calculate risk of harassment lawsuit by industry/position? We could even compensate for different…
This is a new and frightening technology to many veterans of the justice system. These are the people who thought computers were a fad or a joke, and they're perpetually surprised at how popular computers have become.…
American. I used to get really nervous around police (my dad doesn't trust them, and that rubbed off on me), and I still get nervous when I'm driving with a cop behind me. I used to be scared of police, but as I got to…
Haha. Yeah. I'm still using a version of Win7. I'm glad I dodged the Win8/8.1 mess, too.
Well, I'm not a New Yorker, and I don't know if I ever will be, but I'm a big fan of national projects. Bridges, high-speed rail, moon/mars projects, artificial islands! Yeah, it makes some people a lot of money, but it…
This week on "Sweeping, Unsupported Generalizations About Men Written by a Woman"... This author has trends but no causal links, no direct evidence. She projects her own ideas of friendship and happiness onto male…
To me, that graph looks like the tech industry transition from hobby to industrial/business tool. Pre-1985, there weren't many colleges even offering computer science degrees, so any data from that era could easy fall…
You can't ask living, breathing humans to not defend their lives. Yeah, ~500 people have been killed by police in America so far this year. That includes rightful and wrongful shootings. Some of them were innocent,…
Stray bullets and accidental shots are just as lethal as aimed ones. The point is that someone pulled over at a traffic stop can keep a gun hidden and take the first shot if they want to. Each and every traffic stop is…
I mean, I don't play Solitaire, but it's crap like this that makes me glad I didn't take my free upgrade yet. I'm hoping to see some outrage over some of these "they're not bugs; they're features" on Win10, and maybe…
Actually curious: is the goal of the F-1 rule changes to level the playing field? I'd heard it was to keep automakers on their toes, guiding the competition towards things that the general public wants, too, like gas…
And do you rise above that and present your argument's best face, or do you fight fire with fire? What's the goal? I'll admit I'm pretty new to this forum, but one of my favorite parts is the civility of discussion that…
As much as you might be technically correct, there's no reason to antagonize the other guy, especially if the goal is to have him adopt your point of view. While he might have overstepped in his argument, phorese has a…
The way I see it, there are two reasons a person might want a handgun. Before I begin, I'll mention that I'm in favor of heavy regulation but fall short of an actual ban in many cases. Reason 1: "I like guns. They're…
