There is a good amount of evidence, much of it studied, (and much from the transgender community, but not just there) that there is -something- inherent in gender psychology beside…

I didn't read the actual study, but from the article they are basing this on the amygdala size being bigger but the male brain also just overall being bigger. My question is: What …

Libreboot is just a more strict about freedom coreboot from what I understand. As in it is literally a fork/derivative of coreboot.

Everywhere i've worked that has actually cared about hours meant 8 when they said 8. My current job (as stupid as I think it is) requires me to be at work and not on lunch for 8 ho…

> The whole point of fact checking is that the fact check / rebuttal is put side by side or preceding the original claim, with evidence and its own citations. I'm not well read on …

> The only reason it wasn't exactly 6 was for business/logistical reasons. The person you are calling inaccurate said as much in different words. If it wasn't exactly 6 then you sh…

And truthfully, it is going to depend on the person to at least some extent as well. IMO, anything that doesn't include being at work as part of your actual job duties should have …

Common Lisp for all of my hobby programming. Edit: Well not all of it. I'm also learning rust and scheme in my free time.

I was under the impression it was usually lower taxes (partially selection bias due to it being lower for myself). As the other commenter points it, it is complicated and sometimes…

You may take the stance that we need less children due to overpopulation problems. Either way though, people having kids is what continues America's and humanity's existence. This …

GNUs is notoriously hard to figure out how to config (though once I got it configured I've never had to mess it up again) but is the primary email client for people who want to dir…

Probably referring to the post's point that they switched to arch in order to more easily get an updated emacs.

How is it holding anyone hostage? How does someone posting opinions on reddit, twitter, or whatever harm you in any way? Unless they are harassing you about it (in which case first…

> No. You're free to form your own major place of discourse. No. For a place of discourse to become major requires a large amount of people to be actively involved. I can't just "f…

I don't see the article's point as a good one. Unless they are literally calling for people to take action and kill/harass/otherwise harm people I see no reason to "censor" them. F…

What if all the major places of discourse ban your speech? Isn't that basically the same as the government doing so? Sure, it doesn't violate the constitution but it still is a ser…

One of the big problems here though is thing like twitter's recent behavior(I'm using twitter as an example but other sites do it too). You can say something hateful, disrespectful…

Technically you are 100% correct. They are definitely within their rights, as are twitter and facebook. The problem is that we've got a de facto (as opposed to de jure) "censorship…

How would you see that? It isn't the real world where you could see less people around or something.

Mine certainly doesn't. I use an official CM build for my phone and I still had to root it if I wanted that (which I did). Then, barring exploits of which I'm sure there are many, …

The biggest exception for freedom 0 i've seen is the license on the original JSON implementation http://www.json.org/license.html . > The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.…

I call myself full stack and mean what you mean. I typically have to explain that when I say full stack I mean "literally full stack" as in I have a working level of knowledge with…
