Very good analogy. They're also ignoring that getting faster and faster at reaching a 50% success rate (a totally unacceptable success rate for meaningful tasks) doesn't imply ever achieving consistently acceptable success.

Yeah it's like, "Srsly, you don't hear it?"

Is OP the ghost of Douglas Adams?

It was on a sign where I once worked, but that was almost 10 years ago.

They wouldn't push to main at the same time tho, they would push to the branches they're working on. Unless their organization is very badly run, and then it's probably already happened before just because it was Tuesday.

More Cage = More Ross. It's so simple!

That's too bad - I've seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.

My bad, I quoted their yearly "at risk" not their monthly premium. Fixed it.

Very affordable! 170 euros is less than typical US Obamacare insurance, which isn't top-grade and I don't think includes dentistry.

Sounds pretty good to me. If you lose your job and are still unemployed 3 months later, what happens then?

I think item 1 would be enough to vastly improve the left's appeal to centrists, many of whom are just liberals other liberals call centrist for not being liberal enough. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

A sandwich is also a social construct. But not every social construct is also a sandwich.

Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.

The Information Age - the age of tailoring information to support our personal anger impulses.

Very interesting, thanks for the explanation. To me it's kind of pathetic that people feel such a compulsion to be cops instead of just enjoying a nice image.

Ok let me Sheldon it for you: Yes, deals existed "back in the day" as the saying goes, but fans were not aware of (or reactive to) the business aspects of gaming enough for the deals to be the subject of headlines or controversy.

Sharing hardware specs doesn't need "because it was all I had" tho.

There's always an US vs THEM element to any culture, but to me it seems like there's been a relatively recent social trend (as in like the last decade) that anybody who isn't jumping up and down waving pompoms for the one right side of an issue is presumed to be an extremist for the polar opposite wrong side, and all their other views about the world and their overall way of life are probably also despicable. It's very simple binary thinking and works well with memes - minimal information to take in, quick and easy to process, one obvious right answer. It also fits gaming mindset very well - is this NPC on my side or should I kill him?

People gonna pitchfork. I figure there are enough communities to peruse, getting banned by an overactively axe-grinding mod now and then isn't a biggie. LPT: it's not a reddit thing, those same mods are here too.
