Someone didn't get an offer!

As a person who came to America legally, as an Immigrant, I seriously do not want this. How is this at all fair to those of us who had to work so hard and wait so long to get in?

Java is a wildly successful language, and I find the title to be rather clickbait-y in that it attempts to be polarizing for no reason. Original sin implies a failure, and the auth…

Resolution has very little to do with object detection and obstacle avoidance. (not saying Musk isn't full of shit)

Where have I done those things?

Stallman is a cooky old loon.

I found the article to be poorly written and confusing, at least in that it failed to answer the most simple question I had: "What is MMT?" The Wikipedia article seems far more use…

You, and opinions stated as facts by ignorant people are exactly what is wrong with the internet. I used to think everyone having a voice was a wonderful, liberating new freedom fo…

Why do they need diversity?

I am vegetarian - I find it a nice balance between the two. In your example, drop the chicken, add some salsa and another kind of bean (whole black?). For extra fun, replace the ch…

"To be sure, many drivers from Uber are still earning more than they could get in other blue-collar jobs in India. The national minimum wage in India is only about $2.50 a day." No…
