Multiple cursors in Sublime Text. Made it incredibly easy to do repetitive edits to json data or html templates. VS Code does a better job of cursor management now, but I think tha…

You could argue that the Iron Dome has allowed the Israelis to perpetuate the conflict. If Israel citizens were faced with actually dying, they might push for a peaceful resolution…

Profile photo with a person wearing a baseball cap and Oakleys? Yup, that’s a republican.

Sex is the only thing that matters. Views on sexuality are the highest our morals go right now, the test of how much you care about the world all comes down to what you believe peo…

The problem with cancel culture is much the same as the problem I'm having with my QA department: We have a very small, rock solid front end. Most of our work is simply updating co…

This is a market inefficiency. These companies could be reselling the video cards without doing the extra work of putting together a full PC and everyone would be better off - you …

This analogy doesn't work because information is not a limited commodity. Once you've "printed" the news, its value drops to 0. This isn't the old days where you had to physically …

Empires fall from within. Yes, nobody will stop the US with military, and nobody would try because that's not how you win. You don't need a big military to crush the fragile supply…

Checkout this article, "Childhood autism spikes in geek heartlands": https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20589-childhood-autis... There's a correlation between parents who are b…

I work for an enterprise company. The motherboard on one of my staff's macbooks died during the lockdown and it needed to be repaired. Do you know what the Enterprise IT told us to…

I pursued something similar. The challenge you may face is that the act of regular inspections, maintaining the RFID tags, and paying for the service may cost more than doing a poo…

People here will criticize this, but then turn around and put the same information through Binance or other crypto exchanges.

I'm just referencing what the Citadel CEO said to the Financial Services Committee last week.

Between NASA, SpaceX, and various other space initiatives, there probably aren’t enough skilled people available to do the work. It’s literally rocket science.

Or this: “Find creative ways around standards, limits, laws, processes, morals, etc. so I can make a quick buck and pass you some table scraps”

Ok, and if my company's marketing team proposed an ad with a bunch of white people in it, they would also be cut off. Same shit, different process.

And you don't think the CCP's promotion of Han is the same thing?

We do the same thing in the west. Look at the people you see in ads and on TV, it's always an idealized look at what the people in power WANT society to look like. My company recen…

Citadel did more trades in one day than the entire market did in one year. Retail investors do a couple of trades a year. A tax like this would end high frequency trading overnight…

The cultures with a long history of psychedelic practice are just as bad for spiritualist bullshit as this new age culture. Actually, most of the bullshit these New Spiritualists s…

I'm not advocating for prohibition, just asking "what are we going to do with the next problem that comes after legalization?"

I did my fair share of psychedelics a few years ago. The community is very diverse and spans a lot of different backgrounds. One thing I repeatedly saw was those with weaker minds …

They're using light to heat the bottom of a thin material. Bottom of material heats up, heats up the air underneath the material, hot air expands and makes it float. Controlling th…
