Confronting suspicions about friend mabey being a slave owner is 100% something I would do and I assume most people would. But mabey im naive? Peoples rationalisations for gross unethical behavior in this thread are indeed troubling.

>This is what happens when your parents get divorced and you're raised by a shitty step mom

No, this happens when you accept that you are a victim and declare that you have zero control over your emotional shortcomings because of a past event. And it will continue to happen aslong as you reinforce this in yourself.

Mabey this is more an American problem? I live in Sweden and developer jobs here are fairly low pressure, high pay and everything else the rest of the industry has: 1 year maternity leave, 6 week paid vacation etc. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Re:Self-Compassion Works Better Than Self-Esteem on Friday May 12, 2017 @09:11AM (#14323653)
That is crazy! I had no idea about this. Also taking into account that America has next to no social safety nets it's really crazy.
Uber is the "Little guy" ?
Are you saying developers in general are subconsciously making low security products to raise the $ in security jobs globally, because they might some day switch career?
Or 4% of total global revenue ;)
Re:Self-Driving Cars Could End Uber on Monday May 08, 2017 @07:52AM (#14290796)
With T5 im just referring to level 5 Autonomous car, I just call it tier 5(T5). This means the car can drive it self where no human intervention is required.
Re:Self-Driving Cars Could End Uber on Monday May 08, 2017 @07:28AM (#14290704)
I think if Tesla pulls it off with the Tesla network and T5 they will have all the advatages Uber has with none of the disadvantages. Meaning they wont own "their" fleet of cars, it will just be all tesla owners renting out their cars. This effectivly cuts out all middle men from the equation. Also they will be early to market, the only competion i see is some other big car manufacturer developing or buying T5 and make their own network, Ford network or GM network or whatever, also cutting all the middle men. I.e the customers own the cars and they themselves rent out the car to some larger network. This also ultimately makes the T5 "revolution" inherently more democratic since one private actor will have a hard time to compete with a big network of people loosely connected by some framework. Which i think was Elons plan all along.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Elon is 3 steps ahed.

Why not just isolate the meat and just grow meat? instead of growing lambs without brains that still have to grow into adults just to waste bones/tenonds/all other non edibles etc. etc. etc.
You are far above average if you can be in "the zone" for 8h a day. The rest of us will just have to "slack" while you do the hard work.
Re:Why Won't You Answer My Question? on Friday April 28, 2017 @08:28AM (#14218833)
I get these alot aswell, especially from more senior testers that never woorked as developers. They make up some crude model of a solution for what they think the problem is that they concluded from god knows what.
Follow up question, do you honestly believe Murica is a free market?

This sounds like a recipe to increase accidents, just saying.

The thing i still don't get is that most of these people have kids right? How can it not be a relevant issue for them ?
>Dotson gets red in the face, repeating that scientific studies showing climate change as affecting weather patterns or warming the Earth are simply wrong.

This godly redneck can tell yearly temprature average fluctuations by 0.1 degrees, and using it as anecdotal proof that climate change is a fraud.

>"The climate is exactly the same as when I was a kid. Summers hot, winters cold."

Didn't see annyone saying it's a result of Trump mabey you are just looking for somethign that's not there? But one things for sure. When POTUS flat out says climate change is a hox and dsn't get called out, we are in trouble.

What is better than 50 % ?
But the police wasn't really police. And it's argued in court if he even had the right to remove the passenger.
No offense but did you read the article and the referenced texts it's citing?
Hate to break it to you but you've been there for some time now.
Perhaps if you where out hunting & gathering instead of watching movies, reading books and playing videogames your dreams would be more "real".
I get to angry even thinking about it. Imagine your day job is to convince the public spreading poison globally is not dangerous only to make a marginal profit. And to give decision makers some excuse with some bullshit "proofs" that lets them stay "ignorant". Alot of enviormental issues comes to mind where this is happening today.
Don't forget when Lead was claimed to be "safe" enough to put into gasoline - . -
