Did you just read this in the latest Scott Adams post? I also agree with the way he is framing these issues. The Guy is a master persuader after all.

Why polítics isn't been flagged anymore?

Shouldn't this thread be flagged? HN, HN...

Is the second job "official"? Here in Brazil, no office rule can force you to disclosure to your employeers of other gigs (unless you work for government). Here, you sell 8 hours of your day and what you do in the free time is up to you (neither a NDA can change this).

Clojure, because it is Lisp, run on the JVM, node and browser.

A service that makes me make $2k/mo before pay

An AI that calculates how to fix social problems would suggest SV billionaries to give up their money and power. We are a long away off from this, and not technologically.

And why would GNU supports the enemies of Rússia?

Avoid? What you are suggesting would be a big reason to go to war.

With exclusive roads, witihn 5 to 10 years. Without, 50 or maybe never. Imo we are nowhere near cars driven by buggy code. And there are no signs that of the opposite, only wishful thinking.

And Google. And Facebook.

Top down narrative. Reddit CEO didn't troll the trolls, it was a huge mistake that can put in check the entire company. TechCrunch could write 99 better stories about this issue than this piece of propaganda.

It also reminds me Hillary campaign (and their MSM friends) calling half of US voters deplorable.

"Trolling the trolls" is a very stupid euphemism. The mainstream media is losing all credibility built in the past decades and seems to not be able to figure out how to halt the proccess (while changing nothing about the "values" [and people] they protect).

Meteor didn't catch up with the expectation. Arunoda is a great developer, the biggest name in Meteor Community. I don't see a bright future ahead for them.

Nothing. I prefer free news the same way I prefer torrent for music.

I like it. Google (and FB) is very intrusive and must serve us better. I hope ad blocker is harming their perspectives enough for a change.

Neither that their bad decisions would gone away after they left the company.

I let it go and it happened as you are predicting: worked very well personally and very bad professionally. It was a good tradeoff, but now, 1 year later, I'm planning to get back and do a better use.

Paying taxes would be a better social counter-part for their huge profit. Uganda government is right, imo. Let them manage education, not foreign corporations.

Dude, don't get too personal.

It is, more than anything, an advice to CNN e MSM that enough is enough. Nobody respects them more than what they give us.

All these Russians accusation thing is fake news. Very professional.

You are just saying that MSM way of handling fake news is more professional than alt right fake news. I think it only makes the matter worse.

I don't think anybody is passionate working for others in the long term. And mostly young and inexperienced people are passionate until they get the full picture.

So it was indeed an imperialist plot?

To me, both HN and Silicon Valley also propagate racism and fascism. It wasn't yesterday that all news about tech was the lack of diversity? When did Silicon Valley switched place from cause of the problem to be the cure? There is a long road ahead.

> But the agenda of HN feels to me like "have productive, civil discourse, in a generally pro-technological advancement vein"

I agree with this. That is why I'm here. But here we also have a lot of censorship and imposed moral and behavior rules frequently unfair toward some types of discussions or arguments.

> The JS ecosystem is nowhere near .NET's. And C# is way more enjoyable

Really? This reply looks like a sponsored one. M$ is investing high in content marketing.

Why do .NET Core seems to be a game changer? M$ is nowhere near to be a game changer in anything, imo.

EDIT: no reply, a lot of downvotes. A lot of people love it, nobody use?

> There is an apparent trend of Planet Earth turning into Planet China recently.

Not planet earth, Planet US.

Lol. A software Engineer that worked with her would write a really fun reply. This way of thinking is a the kind of bs we hear from guys (and girls) in a suit. A fun experiment is to change "software Engineer" for "civil Engineer" or "Chemical Engineer" having a "business person" saying how to work. It is awkward how them don't feel stupid.
