Is that what you would have told Jamal Khashoggi?

Alexa at #7 for women. Poor Alexen.

You have about 150 years of history to catch up on. Sure, human rights was founded in western culture, but has been adopted across the world since.

It’s not about east vs west. It’s about basic human rights.

Do you happen to have a source for that story? That’s really interesting.

You have been fooled by 0% interest rates.

Why not skip the recurring ticket and reduce your sprint capacity by 2?

Products that are sold after the year they have been manufactured are not scams.

Real finance like trading firms and investment banks (not fintech) were and still are almost entirely in-office.

I agree but the reason for the difference is because the “offshore” folks have zero incentive to do so. There’s literally no point beyond keeping their job (and because of the incredibly low bar and compensation, it’s not at all difficult to find another one). They are there to fill seats and hours, not be productive or efficient.

Devils advocate: would he get paid any more to be more efficient? Or would he just get more work?

What exactly is your USB-C cable example meant to illustrate? You were successfully able to buy a cheaper cable without any laws being passed. Seems like things are working fine as-is.

Of course it’s the CIA’s choice. There is no law saying that the CIA can’t hire someone who has broken the law. Are jaywalkers banned from being hired by the CIA too? It’s their choice to determine their self-defeating hiring requirements.

If someone puts on a pair of jeans followed by a pair of socks, how many articles of clothing have been put on? :)

No one said it’s evil. But it’s worse in price, taste, and nutrition, obviously. That’s why it’s called fast food. It’s optimized for speed and convenience. I eat fast food myself. But only when I have no other option.

Do you also think anyone who says Dunkin’ Donuts isn’t good coffee is “brainwashed”?

Because, relative to most other options, it’s worse. It’s kibble for humans.

This is a sad comment.

You sound incredibly biased. It’s a retirement community, not your parents’ personal gym. If the residents of the community are all upset, maybe it’s your parents that need to find something (or somewhere) better to do.

Tofu.

> That's the natural evolution of the economy anyways, optimizing energy, resources and usages, no waste, no trash

I don’t think there’s any evidence in the least.

This is pure fantasy. Markets have never been efficient and actors have never been rational.

Are you a spammer, Vinod Gupta?

This simply doesn’t work on a large, shared codebase. Locking dependency versions is a must. You can’t just roll the dice that no breaking changes have been introduced by dependencies.

Being able to use social media during the work day doesn’t make housing or health care any more affordable. Don’t those count as real problems?

The NYC mayor tried 10 years ago and was stopped by opposition politicians: https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/bloombergs-20b-plan-protec...

Society loves to make fun of those who choose organic produce, but avoiding glysophate is the main reason I do so, and it works:

I think you would benefit from changing your attitude a bit. You’re not going to change the system, so I’d suggest changing your mindset from “how do I get a job without a technical interview” to “what skills do I need to improve to pass more technical interviews.” I understand you have ADHD but that is an issue faced by many people and there are a lot of pharmaceutical options to address it available today. Additionally, saying that contracting is not an option because you wouldn’t have full control of the result is a massive red flag to me (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31893663) and makes it seem like the ADHD is not the main issue at all.

> Great. What was the faceless government's motivation?

To stabilize society during a time when millions of people were unable to work due to a pandemic, obviously? I don’t think this is the gotcha you think it is.
