<p>Where does it say porn is banned?<p>By your logic, any laws that restricts or controls the supply, sale, or advertisement of any kind of material or content to children is against freedom of speech.</p>

<p>Just because it is bad for you doesn't mean it should be illegal, adults should be able to do what they please even if it hurts them.<p>So this is a pretty practical solution to protect the kids without infringing on adults freedom per se, because even if some adults lose access, as I said, nothing of value is lost.</p>

<p>Yeah, nah, the idea that the problem with low income workers is that they're not pulling themselves by their shoestrings properly is well and thoroughly debunked.<p>People don't work in low income jobs because it is the easiest option, but because it is the only option often.</p>

<p>> Wages often go over or close to the minimum anyway, due to market forces, and do so without costly bureaucracy/enforcement/taxation/distortion<p>Yes, when there is an shortage or competitive number of low wage workers, not when unemployment rate is approaching 5% overall and close to 20% for low income earning bracket in most places.</p>

<p>Robots will always be cheaper, it is not a matter of if they will come, it is a matter of when. That is no reason the state should subsidise workers for big corporations by allowing them to pay such low income that workers are often eligible for social security.</p>

<p>Nature has no feelings, there will be no retribution, things will work out just fine, it will just be tough for us, maybe even wiped out, but nature will prevail. life will find a way, look at places where humans get excluded, everything regenerates.<p>It is not a crises of nature, it is a crises of habitat for us as species, and a bunch of other like us.</p>

<p>> Software engineers rarely pick what they work on, so in most cases you can only measure how well they meet the objectives they were assigned to work on.<p>There it goes, your other metric.<p>> People who think they can accurately measure things like velocity will bring out arguments based on the law of large numbers. But that only works when the number of samples is much larger than the number of variables, which is not the case for software engineering.<p>You can't accurately measure any coastline, but we don't stop at that.</p>

<p>You think VIM is a niche? neovim + vim is used by over 38% of developers according StackExchange survey. That is more than 1 out of 3 developer, closer to 2 out of 5.<p>I am not sure what is going on with here recently, maybe I have overgrown the place, or maybe everyday a little by little this place is getting filled with people who shouldn't be talking about CS.</p>
