txsoftwaredev··on Poll: Is the leetcode grind necessary to land a high paying remote job?
How are all these people that are unable to get an ID able to finance a car, pass an apartment background check, open a bank account, buy alcohol, obtain govt. assistance etc?

In order for me to add my family to my insurance I had to provide identification for each of them, including a marriage certificate and drivers licenses for myself and my wife. All that just to get health insurance.

In order to vote you should have to identify yourself and that you are eligible to vote in a US election. It's complete nonsense that getting an ID in the US is just too much of a burden.

txsoftwaredev··on The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Renegotiation
It was never about black lives either. If it was then they would care about the black on black violence in Chicago, for example. BLM is a marxist, anti American, anti nuclear family organization. It was all clearly and openly stated on their website.
txsoftwaredev··on No amount of alcohol is good for the heart, says World Heart Federation
Alcohol removes my anxiety/stress nearly every time I consume some. Depending on how much I consume the next day my anxiety could be worse though.

A good alternative with similar results is Delta 8. Lower potency and less likely to cause any freak out moments.
txsoftwaredev··on California Considers Doubling Its Taxes
And how much will the cost of health care increase now that the insurance companies have the state government footing any bill?
txsoftwaredev··on California Considers Doubling Its Taxes
If you are looking to offload some money I'll take it! It would better my life.

I wish they would stop. Ammo prices have gotten out of hand.
txsoftwaredev··on Trump's Big Border Wall Is Now a Pile of Rusting Steel
The current administration has completely incentivized illegally entering the US by offering free handouts, including paying families millions in tax payers dollars. Illegal immigration was down throughout the Trump administration, with and without covid.

Walls are very effective tools to protect property. They are used by millions of Americans and businesses to protect their homes and businesses every day. I personally have a fence, a type of wall, to protect my property and it's been 100% effective.

txsoftwaredev··on Has anyone else gotten a billion dollar payment from Google Cloud today?
Hey friend! Been a while, we should catch up!
txsoftwaredev··on Ask HN: What is the best privacy-focused video doorbell?
I'm not even sure it matters at this point. Most houses in my neighborhood have a doorbell or some kind of camera. What I use doesn't matter since all the other houses are recording me. You might as well just buy the one that has the price and features you need.
txsoftwaredev··on People prefer friendliness, trustworthiness in teammates over skill competency
That won't work. It'll just turn into who has the most money can afford the best genetic modifications.
txsoftwaredev··on People prefer friendliness, trustworthiness in teammates over skill competency
I had an HR guy once that said everyone thought I was an asshole. I asked around. Turns out he was the only one that thought that and many felt the same about him.
txsoftwaredev··on Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction
Yes. I've been on/off (mostly on) them for around 20 years. It started when I was young and a girl broke my heart. I just couldn't get out of my "funk". I started taking Zoloft and it gave me a life again. I probably have social anxiety and I am def. more comfortable in public and around people I don't know when I'm on an SSRI. I am not as negative and cynical and have hope for the future. I don't want to take them, wish I didn't have too but even with consistent exercise, therapy etc. it just wasn't enough without the medical help.
txsoftwaredev··on Facebook Renames to Meta
While we are at it can we remove Antifa and BLM from facebook?
txsoftwaredev··on Facebook Renames to Meta
Don't blame the users. Blame the choices that Facebook has made. They WANT the toxicity, it keeps people's eyes on their phone.
txsoftwaredev··on Facebook Renames to Meta
I'd imagine it's not that hard to tie a "Meta" user back to a "Facebook" user. Seems like it's all just for PR.
txsoftwaredev··on Facebook Renames to Meta
I wonder how many are still actively being used. I bought the Oculus quest early on. Spent a bunch on different games, hooked it up and played PC VR games. Used it nearly daily for a few months but have since given it away. Partly due to the current limitations of VR tech (it's heavy, screen resolution is still very low, need a large space to really play it) as well as now having to use a Facebook account.
txsoftwaredev··on How to get back into a hacked Facebook account
I would imagine if enough people made that choice it would eventually come up in a shareholder meeting as it would affect their active number of users. I'm not sure how they report this if you just don't use your account for a long period of time.
txsoftwaredev··on Covid vaccine immunity is waning – how much does that matter?
Hospitals are a business and will expand capacity if it is profitable.
txsoftwaredev··on Covid vaccine immunity is waning – how much does that matter?
Are the hospitalizations actually from covid? Or did they show up to the hospital for a separate reason and happened to have positive covid test as well?
txsoftwaredev··on YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
Do you agree they should also ban the lies about Russian collision? What about the lies about Hunter B.'s laptop? What about the videos of Fauci saying we shouldn't be wearing masks?
txsoftwaredev··on YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
Lack of parenting.
txsoftwaredev··on YouTube is banning anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
Hospitals are a business. They only have room for patients as long as it is profitable. Covid pays the best right now so that is where they are focusing their business.
txsoftwaredev··on Lockdown, distance learning likely to increase social class achievement gap
As a parent of three home schooled children, the social aspect is always brought up by those not informed about home schooling. My kids are socialized through various group activities (P.E, dance, piano, art classes etc.) and with close friends. They also have friends of various age groups since they are not forced to socialize with kids of their age group as they would in public schools. Overall I find the social aspect to be of higher quality than my experience as a kid going through public schools. One big benefit is not having to deal with being bullied, which is very common in public schools.
txsoftwaredev··on NYC Emergency Executive Order 225
How is an unvaccinated person a danger to a vaccinated person? If they are then what is the purpose of getting the vaccination?
txsoftwaredev··on NYC Emergency Executive Order 225
If you and your family are vaccinated then you have nothing to worry about. Right?
txsoftwaredev··on NYC Emergency Executive Order 225
That seems much worse. Forcing a private "space" to become the covid police.
txsoftwaredev··on NYC Emergency Executive Order 225
Looking forward to the vaccinated only water fountains next. The US government has found the ultimate power grab that they can now use to control the population at their desire. This has never been about them caring about the health of their citizens (feel free to smoke and drink all you want). Those in power aren't even able to follow their ridiculous health standards they've created. One politician after another is spotted not wearing a mask, going to places they told us not to etc.. It's such a sad state we are in now and I fear we've gone too far to undo it.
txsoftwaredev··on The surreal experience of my first developer job
I would agree. My first programming job was terrible. But I learned what type of people and companies to avoid and that made picking a new job much easier down the road.
txsoftwaredev··on Pelosi and a lifetime of trading
Nancy Pelosi is as dirty as they come. Of course she will use any advantage she can to gain wealth and power. Why this is allowed is beyond me. Martha Stewart spent time in prison for doing much less.
