ivnubinas··on U.S. companies are hiring Latin America’s tech talent
Consider https://bluecoding.com, on their blog they have an article for each Latin American country that explains what to expect from Latam developers (english level, salary ranges, most used tech stack).
ivnubinas··on How many school shootings this week?
References to articles talking about the school shootings would make the website more meaningful.
ivnubinas··on U.S. companies lash out at Texas law changes, including abortion ban
Genuine question: Is that an argument for abortion only on extreme circumstances or for abortion in general?
ivnubinas··on Virtual passport app presents real data risk, experts warn
If they outsource it they can hire lots of mid and senior level engineers using my country's salaries as a reference. Paying 34K a year salary (which is a top 0.1% salary in the Dominican Republic) they can hire up to 35 senior engineers.
ivnubinas··on Jeff Bezos and Amazon do not want their workers voting by mail on unionization
Sarcasm?
ivnubinas··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Touché
ivnubinas··on Ugandan government blocks Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and YouTube
> Or maybe you could do some introspection and think about what would have to lead up to you being banned?

Having the wrong party affiliation?

ivnubinas··on Apple has threatened to ban Parler from the App Store
There is a lot of evidence of voter fraud. I'm not sure if enough to turn around a presidential election but it can change local ones. https://youtu.be/ZD1-dBrP4Pw
ivnubinas··on Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump
You don't even need a twitter account when there's blue not matter who culture.
ivnubinas··on On Learning Chess as an Adult – From 650 to 1750 in Two Years
There's cheaters but the number is so low that it doesn't really make that much of a difference. Also, if they get caught you get your points back.
ivnubinas··on Scientists grow bigger monkey brains using human genes, replicating evolution
I feel there's a new tendency to value animal life more than human life and I'm not sure how to feel about it.
ivnubinas··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
Then who will have the power to decide what free speech needs to be suppressed? Let's give it a thought at the options available:

A) Government. Some years liberals will supress conservatives, when the power is switch conservatives will supress back. The whole concept of free speech was specifically designed to not have the government dictate what you can say or not say.

B) The press. Which one, CNN or Fox News? The trust on the media is an all-time low and they clearly have earned that reputation.

C) The judicial system? Again, most of them are appointed by the government.

D) Tech lords. I really hope no one is advocating for this.

I am not American, I wish to live in a country where I can criticize anyone, even the President, without fear of getting arrested for a bogus claim of defimation. Is sad to see that most Americans don't value their own freedoms.

ivnubinas··on Dark Horse Discord
Discord is usually used in online games in which voice communication gives you a big advantage. In the Discord homepage it says "It's time to ditch Skype and TeamSpeak" which were the programs used for voice communication in online games.

Dominican here studying Telecommunications. I was giving a tour to the Datacenter of the 3rd largest telecom company in my country. They were using the Netflix box. I was giving a tour to the 4th largest telecom company, they too had the Netflix box. I was told the 1st and 2nd largest telecoms in the country also had the box.
ivnubinas··on Twitter to ban political advertising
So Facebook should be regulated as a publisher?
ivnubinas··on College Board Drops Plans for SAT Student Adversity Score
What about measuring wealth and education quality instead of race? If I'm a rich black/latino I have more advantages than a poor Asian/White/Jew student.

By the way, I know it shouldn't matter but I'm latino (Dominican). Looks like nowadays you have to have an specific race to have an opinion.
