And, anyway, this would only argue for giving them an option, not for giving nobody the option of working full time. 25% is not a small number

> Making people employees with minimum hourly wages ruins this dynamic This is the most important question! Is there a way, inside the brazilian legislation, to give them full work…

When people build their own platforms, the censorship minded mobs go after their upstream providers, like aws and visa. So this "you can always build your own" is not 100% true. Al…

What do you work in?

Indeed. And if stores make their accounting and realize that cash handling costs more than credit card handling, they should be able to add a cash surcharge as well. It just happen…

Well, there is a cost when you use your card. If there is no price differentiation, this just means everyone has to share the cost, rather than the people who choose to use it

Maybe it is like police and tasers? In theory, tasers are good because they can substitute shooting. In practice, you had 5 shootings, and now you have 4 shootings and 200 taser us…

Does it? Only one side is forbidding people to look at things for themselves. It seems better epistemological practice to suspect this side more

I have, apparently. Can you substantiate that claim? I never saw the death count per population of each religion and to know that one is higher than the other. Or the slave count p…

I think this is backwards... This is a corpus to train speech to text, not text to speech, right?

Is there any way around having to click a bookmarklet on the bookmarks toolbar? I do not keep a bookmarks toolbar active, and also prefer to do things on the keyboard whenever poss…

It would be interesiting to see this "cost side" of police reform. How was police rendered toothless? What did happen as a result?

Most of the time I spent solving problems on my linux was creating personalized solutions that I could not enjoy if I was using windows

This is AMAZING. Thanks so much! (fyi, for others: you need not use ctrl-r, just type and press up and down)

The useful content of his(her?) reply is that the so called "price gouging laws" can not only have good effects, but also bad ones. This flour could be selling higher, and creating…

The reason I write this is fuzzies, btw. I want to help other people find moral fulfillment, and hopefully some will be grateful and return with some other insight

My personal solution is to not buy utilions at all. Fuzzies are good. They are useful. They connect me to people around me, and bring gratitude. Fuzzies are the reason I have a mor…

Sorry, but is this a good example? There are people that cannot afford insulin. THAT is a problem. But the fact that he took a risk, for fun, and suffered the consequences, rather …
