The other option is to have the wholesaler owned by the govt, then the economic surplus can come off everyones tax bill.

Well this is pretty much how it works in NZ. We had a state owned company, telecom, which was then privatised by a National govt., and then as a response to local loop unbundling r…

> I think, on the positive side, it'll make people reconsider that genetics and race affect intelligence I’m wondering why people dig at this so much, what is the answer you are lo…

So basically a container or VM image. To be honest the python version seems like the smallest issue for reproducibility. I would be more worried about different floating point oper…

Exactly, that's why "OK Google" isn't a thing.

The recruiter is not usually empowered to filter a qualified candidate because they "only" worked at Amazon though, especially not if they made a good impression at Amazon and come…

Do your parents work in the public sector by any chance?

How are you so certain?

I didn't interpret that way at all, read their other comments. Even if they are just trolling they clearly aren't healthy right now, because that's a pretty fucked joke. I know peo…

What's the protocal for a commenter with suicidal ideation? I feel like many of the replies here are unhelpful, and you should do something about it.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with expecting some money and appreciation to follow genuine achievement, but focusing on those rewards to the detriment of actually makin…

The person you replied to is considering suicide, and your only response is to ignore that and agree with the rationale that led them there?

No hiring manager looking at resumes is going to put any stock into whether it says Google, Amazon or FB, or what school you went to. They will care what you worked on. If you brin…

This is a completely irrational way to look at it. The risk of a pedestrian fatality posed by a collision with a car travelling 30kmh is closer to the risk from a car going 5kmh th…

1) An auto going 30kmh is a great deal more dangerous to a pedestrian or cyclist than a cycle doing the same. 2) Cars pose a risk to cyclists, even if cars are going the same speed…

Well reflexively referring to the DEFINITION of a WORD is not an argument. When there are no dedicated cycleways, either pedestrians share with at least some cyclists or scooterist…

My guess is that this is a conspiracy being propagated by the extremists, and that's why it ended up in the file, but the description and source of the document was lost or redacte…

I think its just grating for grammar nazis, rather than a legal issue. It's like saying sheeps.

This already happens a lot, most VFX heavy productions will have digital doubles of the main cast, and they can be used for as simple a reason as reframing a shot.

Policies should take also into account individual preferences and freedom. Individual freedoms should only be taken away if there is evidence good evidence that they are causing si…

What does that have to do with assignment of blame? I can say a book is crap, and makes it's readers dumb, without saying that I'm going to ban it. I can say a social media site is…

Haven’t you just done the same thing to liberals?

Based on which values though? I don’t think they should go unstated, because if I don’t hold the same values then arguments holds no water with me. A particularly annoying one is w…

I agree for the most, but it might be better to phrase it as this culture differs from my culture because my value X is incompatible with my value y. Because otherwise you are only…
