Honestly I find it pretty fucked up that someone would renounce their citizenship "for convenience". I can't really comprehend how their country could mean so little to someone, especially when that country is a…
>You are free to not wear a mask or party by yourself, in your house, away from society. Or you could frame it the other way. Instead of suppressing everyone's freedom, people who are too scared to resume a normal life…
>I would recommend looking into decoupling your social needs from your job. I absolutely hate that this is the standard answer that comes up everytime someone mentions not being happy with WFH. Not only it doesn't…
The explosion in the number of sofware components in modern tractors and combines is inherent to what we expect from them. If your open source tractor is essentially a tractor from 20 years ago without the fancy new…

I'm personally convinced that there's no justification for banning eMTBs (or any other negative sentiments toward them really) beside gatekeeping. There's nothing about eMTBs allowing people to venture in more difficult…
> many countries in the West should hire the Chinese to construct and build HSR in their countries with foreign labour under local direction There's absolutely no reason to do it, most (if not all) western countries are…
It's plain illegal in Switzerland regardless of CCTV signs. Even dashcams are in a gray area where it should technically be illegal but it has never been enforced before a court as far as I know (dashcam are extremely…
I share your opinion (I particularily like essays; I follow along the arguments, think whether I agree with them or not, etc. but absolutely hate the "how-to" kind of books which I strongly associate with the hustle and…
My bad, I wasn't familiar with this working arrangement and the vocabulary around it. What I'm describing is simply known as being salaried in my country (not hourly paid as OT is compensated with PTO rather than…
The premise of the article is incorrect to begin with: > The way it’s supposed to work is if you’re salaried/exempt, you’re getting paid to do a job, not for a specific number of hours. No, I'm paid to work 40 hours per…
There's no company policy mandating me to start that early yet I start between 7am and 7:30am, by 8am the office is mostly full. The earlier you start the more daylight left to enjoy at the end of the day. 9am really…
I just hope the home office trend doesn't lead to an urbanization of the countryside. I'm from a charming village that was overtaken by ugly and expensive developements during the past 20 years because people from the…
This is probably going to be unpopular on this forum, but why is everyone assuming that having more researchers is desirable / needed in the first place? I think scientific research is completely bloated already and…
Is this an article or a novel? I lost patience before getting to the point.
Beside being long yet void of any convincing arguments/ideas, this article completely ignores the fact that the majority of Covid vaccines are not mRNA vaccines, thus invalidating the premise that "we don't have enough…
I think most legacy users from WSB know very well what they are doing. I've been on this sub for 5 years and it has always been so that everytime the wsb hivemind finds a good deal it gets media attention and the number…

In my opinion the usefulness of Stack Overflow is vastly overstated. It's nice to find a few examples to get started in a new framework that lacks documentation (when there's documentation at all...) but generally…
What's most hilarious about this situation is that the EU getting cheaper vaccines than the UK was advertised as a major "Aha you shouldn't have left, see?" a month ago, but now the UK has already vaccinated almost as…
The problem is not using a GPL software internally, but using it in a product that you'd want to sell and at this point be forced to opensource your entire product. Despite what some people like to pretend there's…
I'm guessing vets take advantage of the ever growing tendency to consider pets as family members to inflate the price. Especially since (from very anecdotal evidences) it seems to be mostly middle/upper class people who…

Granted my commute is a 20 minutes walk so I don't get the The True American Commute Experience (TM) but working from home is a miserable experience as far as I'm concerned. Having the possibility to do it once in a…
