1) I believe free speech has it's limits, like shouting "fire" in a theater. I was rejecting your statement that "telling people not to swear" is morally equivalent to "swearing". One is restricting another person's…
I encourage you to read the wikipedia article on the settlement of the Americas, mostly because it's fun[0]. The landbridge theory has its supporters, but what's really interesting is the gaps in knowledge, and other…
1) put another way, people against profanity are trying to control what other individuals say. People into the right to be profane are expressing their freedom to swear. 2) I cannot. I can be offended by things people…
This is good! It sucks as a learner. But for science and progress of knowledge, it provides an inefficient but lacks-false-positives mechanism. It sucks for Liebniz, but was a positive for our understanding
They have banners, search ads, content ads, and native advertising. Some of their inventory is served by bing, so if you use both bing adcenter and yahoo/gemini, you may be competing against yourself. But I just…
You are correct. However, the sites that do the overkill of a sticky header tend to also have poorly thought out site navigation and user experiences. Let's say on a normal site, killing any absolute nav would result in…
The cost of the skimmer is insignificant, but the labor to replace it adds friction and is going to reduce the number of active skimmers. To replace the removed skimmer will also expose the criminal to more risk of…
Ensuring that skimmers need to evolve frequently is a valid counter-strategy because it increases their cost of goods stolen.
This assumes the police have competency, concern, and resources.
It's not necessarily punitive (although it could be), but they will unlikely receive similar negotiating advantages as they did before.
Except previously it was negotiating with a number of smaller entities. Now it will be negotiating with a block of them. The UK just willingly decreased their leverage so they had free will. Thank you, from all of…
I have no idea what your original comment is referring to, but from my perspective you just lost the game of "let's not appear completely insane in front of strangers." That's an ineffective way of communicating your…
Parent's "a few cents" and what I pay in SoCal for a can of beans ($1.40 regular price; $0.99 on sale) indicate a different scope. You project a 1:3 ratio. Cheaper estimates of chip cost, more expensive beans suggest…
You have repeatedly c/p this answer in this thread. I apologize if this comes off as rude, but why are you doing that? What is your experience or qualifications to provide such advice?
As a US citizen an HN community member, this super sucks. What is the likelihood that someone is deported within a 5-10 year period for having an app on the iOS/Android stores, provided that app isn't like a huge…
I'm not sure if you saw this other thread, but I thought it answered one of your questions so was worth sharing. Sounds like Aurora wasn't stable when this migration began, so they did the migration with an eye towards…
FWIW, the US Government's regulations for civil service workers (civilians working for the federal gov't) are pretty strict, and are often used as a basis for private companies. (EG, mileage reimbursement is usually a…
That's a pretty specific set of situational criteria by which to evaluate the head of a company that does a whole lot of different things.
isnt age a protected class?
Seems reasonable, seeing as age is a protected class.
It's a common way of expressing teh question, does the population serve the economy, or does the economy serve the population? Put another way, should countries protect workers or owners? (A false dichotomy, of course,…
No worries, friend! We both learned something. Please do not let your unfamiliarity interrupt your contributions; different perspectives such asyours are why I come here. To hell if anyone makes you feel different!
While you make no explicit claim, I suppose the responder was reacting to your opener of "I maintain". That implies you have been saying this all along, in a forum that we would expect to have heard it, but yet you have…
Why do you live in the modern world after this experience?
Average is (typically) the arithmetic mean of a sample. In a sample of one (you), the mean is the sample. It sounds awkward, and would be a red flag that someone either didn't know what they were talking about, or were…
