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.
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 :)
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?
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?
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.
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.
