>2. The clerk will be fired if he asked - not just for any unnecessary documents, but just for asking any legally unnecessary question. >3. The clerk will be also fired if he accepts a registrat…

That's an interesting claim. Do you have a source where I can read more on this?
comment
Well, this is an international forum, so I think it's a good idea to remember that many people reading are not from the same country and may have different interpretations of some terms. Also, ma…

As somebody not from the US, the mainstream "left" seems very right wing. When compared to the rest of the world, there is no left wing political party in the United States.

I miss n-gate.

>Still FURIOUS they shut down Stadia You're the first person I have ever seen with this opinion. I want to know, back when this was released, what made you ignore all the people that said that…
comment
You should take into account that (besides survivorship bias), "Ancient Greeks" you know of are all part of the aristocracy: that means good food, no hard labor, and access to whatever healt…

Thank you. These are valuable pointers.

And how do you even "look" at it from the outside? Ask interviewers and they will always tell you that they have great culture, teamwork, etc

>They're electric, so that solves the emissions and noise problems. 60% [1] of the electricity in the US is produced by burning fossil fuels (21% coal!), and this will not change in a long whi…
comment
I completely agree. And autonomous vehicles solve none of the issues of regular cars, except maybe injury rate. The rest is the same -- emissions, inefficiency, expense, noise, traffic congestion, u…
comment
>this speed is based on pressure & temperature I'd say that pressure & temperature are a consequence of the speed, not the other way around
comment
The thing is, temperature is just motion at very small scales. On a solid, particles are attached to one another via the atomic forces, and a "temperature increase" means that the particles …

No, it wasn't just about advertising. Some types of content (piracy, child porn, etc) would get them in actual legal trouble
comment
The only reason this seems to be a problem is that apparently operators (or the manufacturer) didn't know about it, since I don't think there's an actual usecase for the aircraft to be …

It's amazing that some people do this, but it just seems very inconvenient

So it's a teaser paper?

I think IBMs case is a bit different -- after all, other companies may have innovated in the space, but they are the ones who actually came up with the PC standard we still use today (and then quickly…
comment
This rule states that it will happen "by itself", in that if you look at any large organization, the dynamic described happens to be true. Of course, it happened because somebody thought tha…

As an outsider, it's obvious looking in that racial classification in the US is just crazy -- they took some racial stereotypes from 100 years ago, gave them neutral sounding names, and started p…

And in other ways, reddit has much better moderation than either Twitter or Facebook

I don't think so. When the Napster/eMule/Ares/bittorrent crowd reached voting age intellectual property ownership, if anything, got even more tight
comment
There is no due process in authoritarian states. Being suspected by someone on the police that you might hold subversive views is enough to get you arrested, tortured, and murdered.
comment
because I want to know what my friends from college are up to? being in a messenger app group represents a much closer social relationship
comment
Similar story here. I'm constantly wrestling with the tool more than the actual problem I should be solving
comment
I don't understand your point. The comment you answered points out that in other countries, the police firing 107 shots is in fact, very not normal. Your comment doesn't attempt to explain w…

No, individual mutations are random. Selection of the mutations in the gene pool happens through environmental constraints. Species don't change randomly, they change in an infinite optimization …

>It quickly killed every previous architecture This feat was much easier to achieve when the industry was much, much smaller, and a single company mostly owned the entire business sector (who were …

Sorry, I didn't mean to justify it. Just to point out that it wasn't only the British engaging in this behavior. Also I find it a pretty funny historical fact, large part of the British Muse…
