Well... a lot of people routinely break Twitters TOS with respect to abusive behavior (and other things) and don't get shut down. So there is that.

Since this data is about occupation and not training, it seems like the "Teacher" category would skew a lot of other categories. Is a Computer Programming Teacher in the "Teacher" …

I've never used Snapchat but I can tell you that I hate the wasted space in the new Facebook app that is reserved for Stories. Since launch, I've also seen only one story posted. A…

My charging brick is almost as big as my phone. I think I can charge my phone 3 times with it. Sure, it has its uses for times when I might be away from a charging source for a few…

Damn it! I am really enjoying my S6 and kind of just assumed I'd be getting the S8 when it comes out since I'll be due for an upgrade by then. But I am not on board with removing t…

It seems they'll almost have to have non-solar tiles that match. Currently, most people don't cover their entire roof with solar panels if they have sections that don't get enough …

Nearly caught my bed on fire by not understanding that a battery-powered motor isn't going to spin faster if I plug it into the wall. It even dimmed the house lights enough for my …

Bay Area office for a SoCal based company with other offices scattered around the US. I work from home M-Th and go into the office on F. While WFH, I usually start around 8:30 so I…

So.... is it racist for people to say white judges are being harsher on non-white defendants? Because in that scenario, it is usually the white judges that are viewed as being a pr…

Maybe they did or will do that. I'm not privy to any of the inner workings of this case. If you are then maybe you could share those details. I simple said it is possible he is bia…

I find it kind of sad that we can fall all over ourselves declaring how some white judges are totally biased against minorities (or biased in favor of other rich white people... li…

This is why I have decided against the Dropcam/Nestcam. We currently use the (now end-of-lifed) Logitech Alert system. Each camera has its own storage and you can option to have th…

... and that conviction was overturned on appeal. Sometimes the judges get it wrong the first time.

> This could become a safety issue in the future if a robot misgenders a trans person publicly... This bit confused me. First off, how is that a safety issue? And second, how is th…

Right now there is a gap between cost of human labor and cost of automation. When automation becomes cheaper than human labor, it will make more economical sense to switch to autom…

Let me see if I understand correctly. I think we both agree that firing someone for just one accidental "micro-aggression" would not be right... possibly even stupid. And you asked…

Sorry, I can not cite a specific case of someone getting fired for one of those things. Edit: The only thing I can think of is "dongle-gate" but that is likely to just go off into …

> But women criticizing women isn't automatically misogyny: it may simply be criticism. If only men were given so much benefit of the doubt.

I agree and if I was told something like that after my first interaction, I'd refrain. The problem is when the first time it happens it is met with a trip to HR, or public shaming …

Hmmmm. If I see a coworker that has some cool new shoes or a new jacket, I don't see the problem telling them. How is a cool new haircut any different? Asking someone where they ar…

Well... they did go on to talk about women talking trash about other women... so I would think they actually did mean misogynist.

Huge difference for me. Put it up at $273k. A bit more than double what it was.

I was kind of expecting it to be more. Not that I'd complain about an extra $114k right now. But after 40+ years I was thinking it would be more.

Well... "more or less" has a pretty large variance. My mother rents a 2 bedroom duplex in Idaho for like $500/month. In the Bay Area I could probably rent a tent in my backyard for…
