    You essentially work a half day. Burying the lede here a bit.

    That's a scary prospect considering all the studies and news articles that say that putting your kids in school as early as 4 can result in life-long benefits. It's hard to be a pa…

    Some places are sending 3-4 year olds to all day pre-k now too. We're working too much and public schools have become free day care systems.

    It's not a mistake, and it isn't severe. You're talking about exceptions to the law, not the law itself. The law is exercised thousands of times a day and wrongful termination laws…

    I do not look forward to the time where something akin to Google Maps starts to approach real-time (yeah I realize the government can more or less do this, but I'm happy with being…

    I was starting to look into VR and I guess this crosses Oculus off the list. I don't intend to ever have a Facebook account.

    They don't need an excuse to fire anyone, the majority of the US is at-will employment, which means your employer can fire you without cause. EDIT: What's with the downvotes? it's …

    Right but Purdue was behind the push for doctors to do that. If there's evidence of doctors pushing oxy for kickbacks or something like that then I absolutely think they should be …

    I know people that have overdosed after getting addicted to initially-prescribed pain meds so I can relate to the feeling, but I think destitution and a lifetime of garnished wages…

    The Sackler family should be completely liquidated. They acted with complete disregard and caused an unbelievable amount of pain. To think, there are people in prison for marijuana…

    He's not nearly the first one to make this claim, so I'm not sure why it's even notable... "billionaire believes an oft-feared problem"

    When you put it that way it sounds really sad.

    You're cherry picking examples to suit your narrative. For every person working at a FAANG you can probably find 1,000 working in a place with the same shitty working conditions mo…

    What you're describing is often done in trade high schools. Freshman will rotate through trades and pick one to continue on. Once you need a career it doesn't really work like that…

    I think you're underestimating the number of people that live in places where cell companies don't want to be arsed to build a tower.

    While it's a terrible situation, it is endearing to see people think on their feet during the pandemic. It would be nice to see some of these methods spread and stick around. It's …

    HTML and CSS have been evolving for over two decades (now maybe faster than ever) and have been battle tested by nearly 2 billion websites. It seems crazy to me to think that we sh…

    There are already alternative app stores on Android (perhaps most notably, Amazon) and that hasn't impacted their 30%... so what exactly are you expecting?

    There's a lot of research on the negative impacts of loot box systems and children and I think it's a worthy topic to mention when Epic tries to take the moral high ground of David…

    This happens often without direct collusion. You see it commonly in retail. Not sure anyone can outlaw unspoken pricing standoffs like this.

    Apple's the richest company in the world. They certainly have a lot to lose if they back down, and a court battle's outcome is uncertain. What is also certain is that Apple has eno…

    Yeah 40% ownership. I was wondering how that would suss out with the Trump admin Tencent ban that will supposedly come down in a month and a half.

    Our response to the virus as adults is so beyond the pale that it's crazy we're even talking about sending kids to school. Many places in the country have higher infection rates th…
