Based on the TLD for the provided link, I was thinking that this might have been something from a non-US source. However, this is a study from NYU being presented in Germany. I have no issue with this, but I do find foreign analysis of US anything provides a much different perspective an internal US analysis. Many times I've been in conversation with someone that has said something that I immediately wanted to say "Hey" about, but then after a half second thought I realize their comment wasn't really far off. Probably my favorite thing about international travel. The different perspectives can be so rewarding. And it doesn't have to be political either.
Which is why diversity is so great IMO. The thing I love the most about working in Tech in the US is a little bit that I get to work with people from so many different countries and cultures. I have to admit that I was very skeptical of this idea at first.
Of course you still have reason to be skeptical. The point is not to lend flourish to your political discussions. It’s to increase the labor supply and effectively pay lower wages.
Sorry that’s just nonsense. There is a huge demand for software engineers which is not going away anytime soon. And it’s not a problem that can be solved by throwing money at it.
An obvious but still interesting aspect that the talker brings up is that when advertisers start to disclose who is paying for the ad, what we get is a bunch of shell companies.
No need to do anything considered nefarious with your actual name when you can hide behind an anonymous shield. If Facebook/YouTube/Whatever require real names, then we should make rules that donations/ad buys/anything election related must come from real names of people, or after Citizens United, an actual recognizable company name. No hiding behind some anonymity shield.
Look up the term “Strawperson”. Requiring an existing person’s name does nothing.
