  • What difference does most of that make? Sharing a room with others, sure. But I don’t walk around the house hanging dong just because I sleep in the buff. I put on some pj pants and a shirt, at minimum, to leave the room. My roommates have never cared what i slept in as long as it didn’t flash them on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    My wife and I have our own room. I have a door, it is shut at night while I’m asleep and doesn’t open again until I get dressed in the morning. If you open it in that time and see penis and scrote or hairy ass cheeks, that’s on you. I don’t care if you’re a roommate asking me a question, a 6 year old that had a nightmare, or a fireman saving my life. You know what you risked when you turned the knob. If you give me a second of heads up or wake me and then wait for a sec, I’ll put on something. But I’m not sleeping in twisted up boxers with sweaty nuts sticking to my legs to make life more comfortable and convenient for everyone else in the house.



  • Its the min value of the input params, or Infinity.

    And the reason it’s Infinity If there is no input, for better or worse, under the hood the method is assigning a variable, min, the highest value possible and then comparing it to each element in the list, reassigning it when it encounters an element lower than its value at the time. So it will obviously always be reassigned if there are any elements at all (if they’re less than Infinity, I guess). But if there are no elements, it’s never reassigned, and thus returns Infinity. It could have just signed min to the first element instead if Infinity, but that would lead to a runtime error when min was run without a function. If you’re not going to throw a runtime error though, it makes sense for min to return Infinity because, what other number could you return that couldn’t actually be the minimum









  • The very premise of this assumes that everyone is aware of what everyone else’s job is including all of their responsibilities, that they can objectively judge how well they do their job, that they will not base their decisions based on personal or identity biases (particularly against protected classes), that they have an understanding or even basic knowledge of company budget and financials, and that they can be trusted to properly weigh the financial health of the company with the relatively value each individual’s contributions and the desire for one’s own personal gain.

    I would argue that almost no person in an company bigger than 10 people is capable of most (if any) of these. Not that existing company structures are always great at all of these, nor are they usually incentivized to pay people their true worth, but the system you proposed would likely lead to massive issues in any company. Financial issues, personal issues, etc. Even if a company like this were to survive, you would likely see rampant turnover for women, minorities, young people, and anyone else that is likely to be under paid by the might of the majority that believes they are worth less than their white male seniors. Likewise, the “nice” guy manager that does do his job in the slightest but is fun to hang out with is more likely to get a raise than the serious managers who actually keep the company working and on profitable endeavors, which is likely to lose everyone their jobs when the company is no longer profitable. There are more problems with this, but that should be enough to see the pitfalls here.





  • Also how do I save up perishables like potatoes for a big purchase? Do I have to set up a potato payment plan? What happens when I need IT services, but my profession is teacher and the IT guy doesn’t need my services, do I have to source something he needs from someone who needs my services to get his services? What if I can’t do my job without his services? Shit gets way more complicated without a uniform non-perishable national currency, fiat or otherwise.
