I'm very curious to have a peek but isn't downloading stolen material a crime? And wouldn't this be compounded by the fact that with torrent systems you are also helping redistribu…

You are totally allowed to store ammo at your house. The ones that you get when you go do your mandatory shooting rehearsal have to be completly expanded but you can just buy a cas…

It "at-will" in the sense that your employer doesn't need to justify firing you. But I wouldn' compare it to what they have in some states in the US. However you still have at leas…

I live in Switzerland and the legal status of (tech) employee is roughly the same to what you describe. I wonder if the difference isn't that firing people "at-will" just is less c…

It's not the first article I read on HN about an upcoming recession. This is for sure self-centered but the questions I end up asking myself are mainly how it'll affect my life and…

I see your point but I don't really see this as a problem. If you're going to play this game for a significant amount of time, I think it is only fair that you pay it. The question…

I agree on the idea, but where to draw the line? A direct report is definitely a bad idea, but what if it's someone who reports to one of your reports? Or someone who report to ano…

My (admittedly naive) understanding of the ordeal leads me to believe that it is that the 1st would not segfault but the second will since declaring it as a const pointer will crea…

There's also the fact that maybe you wouldn't take the high-ridership bus/train that the low-ridership bus connects you to, but instead just car directly to your destination, resul…

Then shouldn't you look at whether the act violence involves two people of criminal background instead of looking at their gender? Just because someone is subjected to violence fro…

Currently animals raised for meat consumption get B12 injections too. What vegan do is just making the loop more efficient by taking the "injection" themselves.

> Women weren't drafted because the government didn't mandate it. Trump avoided the draft by receiving a questionable diagnosis from a doctor. For something to be justified it need…

I'm just focusing on the draft dodger treatment here, the rest of Trump character can be criticized very well without relying on the draft dodging card. See my response to danso fo…

I am not blaming the women for not having served. What I wanted to highlight with the "draft dodge" between quotes is that the reason they weren't drafted is as void as pretending …

Isn't the "she" here refering to a potential new CEO? I assumed it was akin to the style of academic writing where you use she instead of he to refer to a person whose gender is un…

I live here and I really don't see a strong and male dominated culture, no more than when I was abroad in countries without conscription. It's especially not the case in jobs requi…

During the maternity leave it is not the employer that is paying the salary of the mother (at least in Switzerland, and I assume it is the same in most if not all countries with a …

This guy wrote 3 really short blog posts about doing Haskelly-stuff in C++. [1, 2, 3] They are pretty concise and [2] especially did a good job of making me understand some of the …

I think the parent meant that looking at raw numbers isn't enough to get a good idea of if a situation is bad or not. Since China is so big anything they'll do will affect a huge n…

A funny trick is to ask this question but first give the candidate an infinite amount of eggs. Once he succeeds, ask the question with only 2 eggs. That might explain the binary se…

Online voting seems like such a bad idea to me. If people want convenience couldn't voting by post be a good compromise? Sure you still have to bring your letter to the post office…

I see your points but then the question becomes how to give them an incentive to leave those fields. It feels that they are the only one that pay and consider you to your true valu…

There's 4 voting sessions per year and, in my own opinion, about half of the topics being voted on are quite silly. This might induce some voting fatigue.
