As mentioned in my comment, I realized mid-writing I didn't necessarily have point of contest to the thread OP. In retrospect, there was probably a more coherent place elsewhere in…

Grew up in the Permian basin (Odessa, UT grad as well), there really is a disconnect between larger cities and smaller towns in the state on ethos of renewables. DFW will likely be…

But I didn’t imply causation? I literally gave the same “could be skewed due to healthier lifestyle choices” in my comment...

Personally love .NET and Visual Studio development, especially when I was forced back into Java recently. I'm not a huge fan of Windows 10 and but I really would love to stay in th…

For what it's worth, the stuff I've read on societies that flatten our social pressures for job roles, specifically the most egalitarian societies like in Scandinavia, have larger …

Ah I see what you mean. I suppose I do identify with both the arguments then. Grateful to be born into a society that is as prosperous and free as the one I live and also cognizant…

Could you expound a bit on what you mean by immorally gotten?

>the most obvious poor decision here being the choice to post his manifesto on corporate services using corporate equipment Why is this a violation? Not trying to be argumentative,…

>it has many flaws and inaccuracies Can you expound on these a bit? Seemed like most of the adverse responses were appeals to emotion rather than dealing with the statements and I'…

I used the gnome theme for the movie Live Free or Die Hard on linux back in 2008 or so https://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Die+Hard+4.0+-+M... for reference this is what it…

That question appears to be addressed in the post to which you are responding. I won't be as bold as some to lay causation purely on biological differences, maybe there could be so…

I don't think it makes that claim? Clearly women can be capable and competent software engineers. I think the study was showing there is an inherent preference for different intere…

What is being censored? Maybe they should have a disclaimer about only putting forward non-controversial search recommendations to be transparent but, to my knowledge, you have no …

Google puts more positive search queries in all their recommendations...as was explained in the r/the_donald thread you got the idea from.

Yeah I'll admit I hadn't considered lack of instructor diversity. Subscription fees are thankfully paid for by my employer so it's not a huge issue for me personally but I could un…

I've had no experience with Lynda but what's underwhelming about PS? It definitely seems to lack of depth in a lot of courses but provides a good overview/refresher on things in my…

Do you often get death threats from people who are simply having a bad day and disagree with you? Trivialization of the horrific elements of online interaction is just as bad (if n…

Pretty sure IE has an adblock extension

Yeah Austin rents are pretty high in the main area of the city now. You can get decent places/rates a little farther out, but the boom has risen rent prices considerably in the las…
