“We’re sorry, but our business model precludes timely responses in times of system stress. As a reminder, our shareholders are our primary concern (by law) and staffing trained humans to handle in customer support…
“There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies and statistics.” - Mark Twain (attributed but unsubstantiated to Benjamin Disraeli)
How about just delegitimizing free & fair elections? The foundation of representational democracy requires confidence in voting. President Trump has spent over 7 years trying, without any proof, that US state and…
“$3000 per book is entirely on-par with the per-infringement penalties when an individual does it, too.” Three things to note. 1. As you said, copyright infringement is generally treated for each instance. This one-time…
While you are entirely correct that immediate withdrawal of benzos is life-threatening, the same is true for short-acting SSRIs/SNRIs. For eg, when admitted to a psych ward, there are a handful of things that the…
Because when you're a dev, tickets are a tool of the devil. But when you're a manager, tickets are a simple means to an end. -- PHB
Then why was the militia mentioned at all? For example, the 1st Amendment does not attempt to lay out some non-exclusive examples of why the rights in the 1st Amendment are included. So why did the Founders include this…
"I don't think one could argue the militia could be under state control" I'm not certain this is true at all. To suggest that the Founders meant for state militias to simply be their own forces with no control by the…

Another rule of good conversation/social skills I was taught: Only give someone a criticism if it's something that they themselves can fix within 30 seconds. For example, let someone know that there's something in their…
A bit of a tangent. As an extrovert and someone who is known for being very easy to talk to as well as conversational, I also do not look directly in a person's eye. I definitely face the person and look at their face.…
“This would be great, in theory. The reality is that people would live on it and never work, have kids, and the same thing would happen with a new generation. As it expands, you run out of tax payers and the system…
And it’s not just blogs. They’ve got an open job posting [0] for a ‘Formal Methods Engineer’. [0] - https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/position/8585303...
Not sure of your issues or when you last tried. I recently installed Plex on my TruNAS. I use the AppleTV app and it works well. One caveat is that older AppleTVs can’t do native decoding of some mkvs. But that’s…
Great idea! Going to give this a try. It perfectly explains how I'd like the experience to be. As opposed to my haphazard txt files with old tab links that I corral every so often. And vim-like navigation is just a…
Unfortunately there are a number of tick-borne illnesses. Eg, Powassan virus is a viral infection that attacks the central nervous system (leading to encephalitis). It can be transmitted within hours or even just 15…

Preface: I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing this. Please try and see a doctor and/or a mental health professional in order to explain what's been going on. I realize that prioritizing self-care becomes even…
This is a total tangent. However note that the creator of the ‘free market’ idea, Adam Smith, wasn’t an advocate for zero law/regulation regulation. In fact Chapter 10 of his “Wealth of Nations,” specifically states,…
All companies are like this. Some just have better HR/PR.
Just because you said that you were interested in some Opinions, one of the least appreciated aspects of any documentation (but especially diagrams) is defining who the stakeholders are at the start of the document.…
I actually really prefer your answer. I would likely counter with, “what potential issues could you see with doing things this way?” But a) you’ve shown me that you don’t charge into solutions without first attempting…
So true. In my career (anecdotally), I’ve never encountered a data problem where the answer was ‘you didn’t choose this tech/language/product over another.’ It always comes down to decisions of governance and ownership.…
More childish than the process of getting new regulations against big-tech approved in local government? I’d say it’s a tie, at best. Was the Boston Tea Party childish vandalism or heroic patriotism? Only history gets…
The program requires 10 courses to graduate. The parent comment has completed 3 courses and has 7 courses remaining.
