Or they do in fact want that clause just as it is . By design. They simply don't want to change it. This likely isn’t about having different contracts for different hires. Its abou…

Not sure why you're being downvoted, as by definition, if this constant is valid for how this universe is as it is configured now then significantly changing the universe will like…

Out of curiosity, which country didn't have servants?

"I expect scientists will be working hard to propose non-biological processes that could explain these results." If scientists don't attempt to explain a dramatic claim using other…

Love their trackpads. But their mice... not so much. I have a tiny travel mouse that has 4 buttons, scroll mouse and much better acceleration and surface detection and was bought f…

I think we learn more about the assumptions of the complainer rather than who wrote the "witty reply". That and the spoiler can be applied to any number of people in government age…

Draconian/authoritarian responses are becoming more common online. Offline in meatspace people are also becoming more guarded and wanting bans for all sorts of slights. These are n…

Didn't know that fossil let you take everything. That's worth having.

These tools are worthwhile additions. Vscode is a important toolkit item for many. Just having it on multiple platforms is a useful common denominator that reduces friction.

The problem with Jones is that he is like a Wheel of fortune. He mixes truth and half truth and everything else. Spin the wheel, reveal a truth, whether its true, nobody knows. The…

HDMI learnt nothing from the old db connectors like VGA. Try it with HDMI when the cable has to go in but you can't see the port. Get gud as they say.

You forgot to mention IEEE 488 which was both a great thing and the cause of many failed experiments. But I digress. Yeah I saw all those and a lot of others you didn't mention. Re…

Both of those came after USB 1, yes? So they would have that history behind them. A precursor can't be criticised for laying the foundation for better descendants. Later usb dont h…

- Skid detection - maybe early versions have dog/cat mode so the roomba is primed to expect this - odor detection. Volatile gases. I'd suggest color / visual but I'm not sure of th…

Considering plenty of chemistry can melt your face off or dissolve your lungs or otherwise make you disappear I'm happy that chemists have the sense to invoke formality and protoco…
