Can you clarify what you mean by "housed in entirely separate sections"? Because housing is separated (male barracks, female barracks for E-1 thru E-3 exactly with minor exceptions) throughout the military. But are you…
Agreed and what you say is true for many, if not most workers. I think this brings up something we're all a bit reluctant to add to this conversation about UBI: the reason to do it at all. As practiced, capitalism is…
Thank you for summarizing (I actually read the whole article before seeing your reply and might have posted similar thoughts). I get the appeal of romanticizing our past as a country, looking back at the post-war era,…
This is so tragic. Ive tried reading the reports in this thread that have more info about the cases, but I don't understand how there wasn't enough evidence to exonerate these people at the time of the accusations. It…
Yeah im still a bit surprised that Github doesnt work in firefox for me. It wont load a repository page, its just blank with nothing but the navigation on the page. This happens after turning off all plugins. dont know…
Try going to your account then from the menu go to Settings > Third-party AI Heres what the link looks like for me in the US: https://www.dropbox.com/account/ai Paid subscribers can see it in US, not sure whether it…
I think I've tended to think of scripts as documents. Typically when I use it I'm describing to another programmer the name of a file (document), as in "Use the calculator(.py) script" or what have you. While I'm sure…
This. In US especially, the thought processes around race are just ...catastrophically delusional due to our terrible history with it. And by that I mean it seems to reduce us to rituals like DEI because we simply are…
As a quick aside: I love Slipways. Amazing job, very interesting little game :) On topic, I'm working in the same vein as you currently (without the indie hit) - I like building worlds that I want to see the light of…
I could be wrong, but I read the implication as bots/machines that trade in the financial markets. But again I could have totally misunderstood OP.
Unfortunately, the surest way to kill a culture is to make it irrelevant. By that I mean, it has to be information that's incorporated the current cultural context, not just the context as it was when the custom arose.…
Yeah this should be linked in the top comment because I couldn't really grasp what Polis was even for by going to the link on this topic. This article really does a great job of clearing up its purpose and benefits.…
I think in the US our situation was pretty dire from the start in regards to misinformation: the president and his staff were saying a ton of crazy crap from day one, from denial, to downplaying to telling people to…
So slavery is legal as long as the slave is a criminal? I'm not following what's being implied.
I missed this, very interesting read. He's not entirely wrong. But why are these protocols frozen? I've never developed one so I may just be ignorant of the challenges there, but if, for example, I wanted the XMPP…
I believe this because when I see people dying from living in flooded basement apartments -- a *well known*, documented risk of flooding from natural disasters -- I don't see "the cost was not justifiable", because it…
Another way of saying the same thing is enough people just havent died to justify the cost. We can't keep reasoning about how to safely build cities by how much money is justifiable. It's madness. It is a city on the…
The black community in America has known this forever. We've had to rely on these kinds of businesses, not just as sources of goods and services, but as literal community centers that help people out, sometimes for…
I really enjoyed reading this one and loved the example. Unwittingly I found that my approach feels similar to what the author did as far as isolating the domain and writing unit tests. I learned some new things as…
Yeah Ive come to learn that Stronghold is something of a semi-hidden gem that only really gained the popularity it deserved a good decade or more after its inception (I wager due to Steam and the efforts to renew its…
Love this story because this has been my experience as well when teaching youth. Children in a classroom scarcely need a teacher explaining things to them. Give them the materials and leave the room for an hour. I…
And thats fair, every locale gets a say on how their city functions. For myself, I'd rather not have my town made up primarily of private vehicles clogging up traffic. I'll take a trolley/bus/train/cab any day of the…
Im not the person youre responding to but I have a similar experience and I usually let the pairs make their own decisions about how they work. I've found that to be many times more effective than "switch every x…
I see your point. But I think this is why I don't think either giving a kid a savings account nor a debit card alone teaches them anything. That said, I think a savings account offers much more valuable lessons to be…
A motion-detecting light isn't surveillance. It follows the same principle as your refrigerator light: when someone opens the door, shine the light so that they can see. Surveillance is the monitoring of peoples…
