"quiet quitting" is just starting to be used as a substitute for "the lack of our workers ability to feed themselves and focus on their work is starting to impact job performance"
Median is the generally accepted approach to determining the average value in a large data set of income figures, as it takes into account both the distribution of values as well as the gross income number. The mean is merely a restatement of gross income.
It would make little sense not to be confident in a subjective opinion. As the sole arbiter of truth concerning my subjective experience, it would be absurd to waffle about it.
Belief that hateful rhetoric is one-sided on the internet — and does not target the aforementioned groups — is a fascinating case of bias that deserves some research of its own.
It’s really not that it’s one sided, it’s that it’s clearly more common to see hate speech anywhere unmoderated against some disadvantaged groups. And this is likely a consequence of history. It’s more curious to me when people think that it should be balanced, that we would expect people to be writing hate speech about the majority as often as fringe members of the majority write hate speech about minorities.
And that’s what this metric is measuring, the model finding hate more easily with “fat people are terrible” than “normal weight people are terrible”
Believing that human social pathologies are likely universal is a bias?
Hateful expression is more prominent when it’s socially acceptable, and in American society at large, there are socially acceptable targets for hate that do not align with the majority/minority group division.
Consider, for example, the prominent, public, long-standing (and for some reason, tolerated) racial animosity between Asian and Black Americans.
Wait, so you think minority groups hating one another is not aligned with the majority/minority group division? I don't understand; by definition each group is a member of a minority social group, wouldn't that obviously be the case that they're therefore subject to all of the negativity that entails? There's no unity amongst minority groups, if that's what you're suggesting; the majority group makes it tolerable to espouse hate against all minority groups, including from other minority groups.
You say you don't know why it's tolerated, but that's my point exactly; it's tolerated because it's hate towards a minority group (regardless of the source). It would be substantially less tolerated if it were hate towards the majority group.
Examples is not the same as proportionally larger. I can find instances of things sliding up hill, but it's not the phenomenon I would expect if I were guessing blind.
Yeah but the guy is saying "whaaat pfft that's not happening" while hanging out on a site where it happens all the friggin time. It's just bullshit. He sounds like someone who hangs out in and around plenty of places where such things are commonplace.
People have different ideas of value. I see a method that sounds like that and a 429 and I have a pretty good idea of what is going on without someone taking up more lines to describe the method than execute it.

Yes, you're a seasoned HTTP developer. The comment isn't meant for someone like you. It's meant for the other developers on a shared codebase who may not know much beyond the standard HTTP status codes (200, 400, 403, 404, 503).
> taking up more lines to describe the method than execute it
It's a one-line comment. the Ruby code with the exponential backoff, eight lines. It does not take up more lines than the method.
You split developers in to two categories, but how do you know those are correct categories? What if there's another type of engineer that only knows about 200 and 400?
My approach is that conventional knowledge doesn't need to be documented in comments. Attempts at guessing how much conventional knowledge someone is lacking are futile. Those comments are similar to:
int a = 4 // set a equal to four
If someone doesn't know what 429 is, they should get confused, do their own research, and learn. Comments should not be turned into educational material about open standards, they should be about your business. There are much better places to learn about standards.
3) if all billionaires in the US liquidated absolutely all personal wealth and evenly distributed it, what would happen?
720 billionaires * 10B average wealth / 300M US population = 24k USD per person 1 time payment
Covid stimulus was like, 9k ish depending on your bracketing? So just imagine 2 or 3 covid payments. The conclusion should be that it's not going to change the fabric of how life in America functions. It's certainly not gonna grant GP commenter the ability to chill and paint for the rest of their lives.
How’s that work though? The billionaires wealth is mostly corporate wealth so that’s already included. Unless you are advocating expropriating corporate wealth from retail shareholders, public pension funds, and foreign owners?!
