I'd forgotten what an unusually strong and culturally-resonant line of movies the man had without (I think) the popular acclaim you might associate with them, like a low-profile Spielberg.

Spinal Tap

The Princess Bride

When Harry Met Sally

Sleepless in Seattle

Stand By Me

etc

A great loss, RIP

I had the same thought when I looked up his filmography - highly underrated. No idea he made all those classics.

Never once used a case in 12+ yrs of iphone ownership and only cracked a screen once. Think there are a lot of people out there like me. Many people are way too anal about an every day utilitarian device.

Same. Cases are like putting shoes on a dog. You can do that, but it looks dumb and the dog will probably be fine without them.

Isn't this basically Peeple except gender locked to women? Peeple failed because they couldn't eliminate bias and gossip against anyone. If someone was jealous of another, for example, that person could just write false slander and claim it was real with no evidence. That would have affected the victim for jobs, dates, etc. So it was laughed at by VCs and everyone online and it shut down.

How is Tea even legal? Isn't this just a legal libel timebomb waiting to happen?

This looks like a slam book. Or that’s what girls called it when I was in high school. Basically just a place where you write mean things about people you don’t like. And those people don’t get to see it.
listless commented on How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?   twitter.com/dieworkwear/s... · Posted by u/taubek

"I encourage you to note assume that every Asian worker is a slave." I do NOTE, that I was on Korea for 18 months, and saw over 20 factories, and knew a few people that worked there. They were making 1/10 of the minimum wage in America at the time, $0.75 vs $7.50, Today they are making $6.94, so I would assume that They are making few shoes in Korea.

"While it's difficult to pinpoint exactly which country pays the absolute least for shoe manufacturing, countries like Vietnam and Cambodia are known for having lower labor costs and are major footwear exporters, making them likely to be at the lower end of the wage scale for shoe production."

In Cambodia, they pay $208 per month, which is assuming a 160 hour work month, which I guarantee is the bare minimum which gives them $1.30 in wages per hour.

"In Vietnam, shoe manufacturing workers typically earn wages that are significantly below a living wage, though some companies affiliated with the Fair Labor Association (FLA) pay double the minimum wage."

In Vietnam they pay $68/ month, which is $0.42 and 1/2 cents an hour.

The premise of the article, and the statistics they use are all based on preported manufactures claims, not the reality that exists in that country.

I would dismiss this article as pure fantasy.

“I encourage you to not assume that every Asian worker is a slave."

That’s a hell of a dodge. The problem isn’t that these workers are mistreated, it’s that you’re a racist.

    I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
    1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and    is just a natural part of the way the world works.
    2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
    3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
-- Douglas Adams

Let me guess your age.

I do think this is true. I'm 46 and I find myself wondering when things are going to "return to normal". But I can't really define what that is besides saying "2019". I'm not even sure what I'm referring to other than I hate short form video. I don't know how I feel about AI. It does seem like something that has a lot of promise though if we can figure out the context issues.

I'd be surprised if they NYPD and the FBI spent anything even remotely close to e.g. 10% of what they did in this cases to investigate any random average murder.

If he just shot someone randomly in a poorer neighbourhood he likely would still be free.

Your point is well made. If someone shoots you in a trailer park or the hood, nobody is launching a nationwide manhunt.

I redact my previous comment but leave it for posterity.

But he’s not dead, he’s going to prison. Does he plan to commit suicide behind bars? He’ll probably be on tighter watch than Epstein - that’s what happens when you mess with the ruling class.

That’s what happens when you commit a crime. It doesn’t matter who you kill or who you are when you do it. If the CEO had killed this guy in the same manner, he’d be facing the same consequences.

Interesting concept. Reminds me of final fantasy.

The text in the red boxes is hard to read. Suggest changing to white.

The more advanced weapons that are locked actually have easier questions. I would expect them to be harder.

I can’t tell when I can use the advanced weapons. Suggest showing the charge level along with Hp.

Great job!

listless commented on U.S. women are outpacing men in college completion in every major group   pewresearch.org/short-rea... · Posted by u/samspenc
listless · a year ago
This isn’t surprising. It’s also not an indication that women are doing better than men writ large. Most degrees are not worth the investment. A few high performing ones hold the average up. Trades are desperate for workers and have above average pay. Men are much more likely to do those jobs. The risk is that women are going to be left with more debt and will be less employable in the long run.

But for a society that acts like everyone’s worth is wrapped up in whether or not you have a degree, we should be a lot more concerned about this than we are.
