I don't mean "socializing the costs" in the sense that the public sector is paying for it, but the employees are. It's a common strategy to spread your externalities and costs among your customers, employees, and the general public (see: large multi-national banks and automakers getting bought out by governments).

No, but if many people are working from home (and socializing the costs of office space), then the company has less incentive to keep an office around at all, leaving people who prefer working from an office out of luck.

Not GP, but I would imagine it's mainly a privacy concern. Some people feel that the government knowing you have guns defeats the purpose of having them in the first place, as they can theoretically be taken at any time. A Concealed Carry Permit or similar is antithetical to that belief.

por que no los dos?

Nice to see this video here, I know CGP Grey is (or, atleast was) an avid HN lurker. If you're seeing this Grey, I'm a big fan, thanks for the videos and podcasts over the years :)

This is the best way I've ever heard it described

For me, it doesn't seem to alter the frequency of the underlying tinnitus "signal", but it does add some lower frequency rumbling, which I believe is my tensor tympani response.

Isn't significantly disturbing the peace kinda the entire point of protest? I would wager many of the protests and demonstrations done during the Civil Rights Movement in the US "significantly disturbed" the peace, and yet they were effective at creating needed change.

I would imagine this is a situation where cost won over convenience. Particularly in the appliance space, products are often made actively worse in the name of driving down cost. And this isn't just one or two companies, it's virtually every single one.

This, of course, makes it unviable to produce a better product (like an electric stove with better temperature feedback/control) without dramatically increasing prices to make up for the loss in market share.

I recently questioned this when setting up my mother and grandfather with TV and internet for their new house. The internet TV provider either don't have, or charge so much extra for channels they consider "essential" (that's another issue) that it's not worth getting the service, as the price is equivalent or more to a satellite TV provider.

Video of a tragedy, while deplorable, is not on the same planet as plans for a nuclear weapon. Are you also of the opinion that thing like live leak should not exist/be accessible?

What happens when you eventually do catch an upper respiratory disease, and your immune system is no longer used to the challenges it presents?

Here's the thing: What about the vaccine is saving the lives of others? It doesn't prevent spread. It simply provides you with protection from the virus for a limited period (~270 days). So what, exactly, are unvaxxed people doing to harm others?

Who says the picture would have the same affect? What if it turns out there's less racial bias when a picture is added?

The problem isn't exclusive to PCs. The PS5 and Xbox Series X use the same process as AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs, and tons of people have had trouble getting their hands on them.

Is there reasonable suspicion to believe that the political split around it was/is intentional? To me, it seems as if the mainstream media outlets are needlessly ripping this drug and it's proponents.

The upper class actively pushes for laws and policies that protect them from class warfare. It's a part of the strategy.

ever thought about, idk, breaking those protest laws? This defeatist attitude is exactly how totalitarian states are established. God forbid people put down the hamburgers and actually fight for something though.

Worrying about getting other people sick when you do not reasonable suspicion that you are sick is a moral trap. If something is "everyone's" responsibility, then it really is _no one's_ responsibility, because there is no way to determine who spread the disease to whom. In this case, it's best to simply take the steps you feel necessary to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Are you really going to label Head Coaches of major sports programs as PE teachers?

The reason they are paid highly is because they carry the majority of responsibility in the success of sports teams, which generate revenue (in the hundreds of millions in the case of Football and Basketball) for the athletic departments of these universities. That revenue is used to fund literally every other collegiate sport, and provide scholarships to tens of thousands of students nationally. These positions are unique because they are simultaneously extremely competitive (most coaches are fired within 5 years) and tied (loosely) to a public entity.

To call them PE teachers is a ridiculous presumption, no matter how overpaid you believe they are (and rightly so).

I'm down to work on this idea.

Because it isn't just happening in the construction industry. There are restaurants in my town offering a $3000 bonus if servers and cooks commit to 4 months of work. They literally cannot open entire sections of their restaurant because they cannot find enough people willing to work. Same thing with the trucking industry, there was a driver shortage before the pandemic, and it has only gotten worse. People are simply not willing to work so long as they are being paid to sit at home.

The same is true for android, at least on a Pixel 2 XL

Go Dawgs!

This world sounds like hell.

We have the right to bear arms for a reason. Governments will eventually push citizens to a breaking point.

Any good communities (not on reddit) for Electrical/Computer Engineers? Things like HDL, Embedded, VLSI, General Electronics?
