Others have pointed out that tech workers are much more unionized elsewhere (other than US). There are probably multiple factors as to why there are few unions in US (ie. Comp in US is insanely high, tons of competition for workers, etc). B

Several have mentioned that contemporary tech workers (mostly?) are privileged and have leverage in negotiations that allows them to individually gain what others in other industry can only get through unions. Part of that leverage comes fr

I'm actually amazed (maybe I shouldn't) that face retouch became so universal in most (all?) contemporary smartphones with seemingly no ethical considerations. How could the likes as samsung switch this feature on by default like

Say Biden wins the election. I'm curious to see how his administration would handle this situation considering that Snowden revelations happened dead in the middle of Biden's second vice-presidency and they had plenty of time to b

I guess if you remove all other data points/context and only stick with the words "jobless" and "living with parents" I guess "so what" is a valid question. It would be a valid question for most issues whe

If you ignore contemporary prejudices and think of Europe as "New World" back in early middle ages you notice that comparable large human migrations/trade between eurasia has inflicted equivalent toll on Europe's populat

I'm surprised why "lawfare" is not more commonly used to classify what is happening to Assange and others by Western-sphere dissidents. maybe I'm not really surprised.

Whether something is really distributed or not is not only debatable but more importantly transient. Maybe it is today and not tomorrow. Yes, you may consider that HS is not fully distributed because of the reasons you stated (many may disa

So nyc was already facing pressure to adapt to changing reality. We are in agreement. What says NYC will fail to do so? Does adapting only mean keeping up with increasing amount of tax revenue? Cities aren't (should be) corporations, l

Are you implying that only non-underrepresented engineers are capable of uncomfortable speech? I'm sure any terminology can make some engineer (underrepresented or not) uncomfortable. Therapy may help if it becomes recurrent and hard t

Was NYC "adapting" to its own growing needs before pandemic? I assumed not because it seemed clear that real estate price growth in most global cities were unstustainable. I get that _some_ people who had plans to enjoy the growth

But, if I'm making a date based search I'd still use ddg, given that runnaroo doesn't seem to support it yet.

I was using ddg before recently switching to runnaroo for a couple of months now. Runnaroo seems to always surface wikipedia, stack overflow and github which is almost always what I'm looking for. And if it's not there a quick scr

What leads you to perceive that being stranded in Russia is discrediting Snowden? I don't doubt that (almost) any other American taking shelter in Russia would make a dent on their reputation in US, but I'm curious about Snowden s
