Can you clarify what you mean by "housed in entirely separate sections"? Because housing is separated (male barracks, female barracks for E-1 thru E-3 exactly with minor exceptions…

Agreed and what you say is true for many, if not most workers. I think this brings up something we're all a bit reluctant to add to this conversation about UBI: the reason to do it…

Thank you for summarizing (I actually read the whole article before seeing your reply and might have posted similar thoughts). I get the appeal of romanticizing our past as a count…

This is so tragic. Ive tried reading the reports in this thread that have more info about the cases, but I don't understand how there wasn't enough evidence to exonerate these peop…

Yeah im still a bit surprised that Github doesnt work in firefox for me. It wont load a repository page, its just blank with nothing but the navigation on the page. This happens af…

Try going to your account then from the menu go to Settings > Third-party AI Heres what the link looks like for me in the US: https://www.dropbox.com/account/ai Paid subscribers ca…

I think I've tended to think of scripts as documents. Typically when I use it I'm describing to another programmer the name of a file (document), as in "Use the calculator(.py) scr…

This. In US especially, the thought processes around race are just ...catastrophically delusional due to our terrible history with it. And by that I mean it seems to reduce us to r…

This is when programming really clicked for me: I learned that if the problem isn't well understood and solved before you sit down to write a line of code, then its not time to cod…

As a quick aside: I love Slipways. Amazing job, very interesting little game :) On topic, I'm working in the same vein as you currently (without the indie hit) - I like building wo…

I could be wrong, but I read the implication as bots/machines that trade in the financial markets. But again I could have totally misunderstood OP.

Unfortunately, the surest way to kill a culture is to make it irrelevant. By that I mean, it has to be information that's incorporated the current cultural context, not just the co…

I second this but mostly because I'm an unrepentant nerd who REALLY wants one of these to show off at my tech workshops for kids :D

Yeah this should be linked in the top comment because I couldn't really grasp what Polis was even for by going to the link on this topic. This article really does a great job of cl…

I think in the US our situation was pretty dire from the start in regards to misinformation: the president and his staff were saying a ton of crazy crap from day one, from denial, …

As another commenter also observed, "volunteer" is a very poor description of the situation. What exactly are the options here for the prisoner involved? And I think this is worth …

So slavery is legal as long as the slave is a criminal? I'm not following what's being implied.

I missed this, very interesting read. He's not entirely wrong. But why are these protocols frozen? I've never developed one so I may just be ignorant of the challenges there, but i…

I believe this because when I see people dying from living in flooded basement apartments -- a *well known*, documented risk of flooding from natural disasters -- I don't see "the …

Another way of saying the same thing is enough people just havent died to justify the cost. We can't keep reasoning about how to safely build cities by how much money is justifiabl…

The black community in America has known this forever. We've had to rely on these kinds of businesses, not just as sources of goods and services, but as literal community centers t…

I really enjoyed reading this one and loved the example. Unwittingly I found that my approach feels similar to what the author did as far as isolating the domain and writing unit t…

Yeah Ive come to learn that Stronghold is something of a semi-hidden gem that only really gained the popularity it deserved a good decade or more after its inception (I wager due t…

Love this story because this has been my experience as well when teaching youth. Children in a classroom scarcely need a teacher explaining things to them. Give them the materials …

And thats fair, every locale gets a say on how their city functions. For myself, I'd rather not have my town made up primarily of private vehicles clogging up traffic. I'll take a …
