wu_tang_chris··on Report: Ageism in the Tech Industry
This for me was the most thought provoking comment on this entire thread. It tends to be the case that when accusations of prejudice are lightly thrown around, slowing down, thinking reasonably, and giving our fellow humans a cursory benefit of the doubt casts a totally different light on the issue. That said:

> I half wish we had a way to completely remove any identity related characteristic from the hiring process and end once and for all any allegations of discrimination. Full on voice scrambling, audio only discussion, and VR in lieu of on-site interviews.

I feel like I could figure out their age and race just from vernacular. Plus that would be ridiculous. I don't want to hire someone who I don't want around the office.

So you just submit your resume to places you'd like to work, even if they're not hiring? Do you even look at job postings? That's interesting...

That "moment of clarity" is literally just accepting that you are an alcoholic. Like, that's all it is.

Normies love to pontificate about the causes of and solutions to addiction, but I never get more than a paragraph in before I find a vacuous statement that highlights how completely the speaker misses the point. It's fucking exhausting.

I was trying to get a sense for pre-tax price difference. Sounds like it's 130€.

> Based on what people are willing to pay in each market?

I'd expect it's largely based on that, and that Apple has put a good deal of thought into what they can get out of you guys.

Opiate withdrawal is generally not life threatening either.

FWIW, you can die from alcohol withdrawal well before your liver is shot. Also, you don't need to have been drinking for decades; you can get yourself in that pickle in months, not years.
wu_tang_chris··on What Science Says to Do If Your Loved One Has an Opioid Addiction
Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the only ones, IIRC. In 2014, Xanax killed more people than fentanyl, morphine, and meth (https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-12-20/heroin-cocai...)

a lot more people die from opiods than crack. most crack users are white.

The only difference between you and what people call a junkie is people are being polite to your face. If you're on subs and have used opiates for 35 years, it seems pretty clear to me.

No. The topic at hand is whether or not I'm allowed to run the program on my computer. And regardless of what argument you or any other business man 2.0 can proffer, I am. Because it's my computer.

Exactly this. The entitlement jedberg shows here, to be able to show ads on a link aggregator (of all useless things) is astonishing.
