>You have very little money, but can spend endless days reconnecting with your friends, hiking, playing games, learning music, et cetera. The horror! Sounds like these employers need to raise wages to do better than the absolute minimum.

Whether its 5th, 8th, or 1st; saying you can't compare US benefits to that of a "wealthy" European country is ridiculous. America IS a wealthy country.

Genuine question. If you found out that your water utility was servicing an Islamist group’s house, would you cancel your service because you don’t want to do business with them?

One of my favorite quotes of all time is about introverts experiencing fame, from the Rush song Limelight: Living in a fish eye lens Caught in the camera eye I have no heart to lie I can't pretend a stranger Is a long-await

>The reward is that the product exists at all. Why do VCs get any return from startups? Isn't the reward that the startup exists at all? Better yet, why does Gilead get to write a press release explaining the reason they're ask

>How is that different from servers in a restaurant? I fail to see how that is relevant. I think the closest comparison to DoorDash is ordering delivery from an Italian restaurant – not driving to the restaurant, sitting down at a table

It blows my mind how many people don't understand why what DoorDash did was bad. The comparison to DoorDash isn't table service in a restaurant, it's ordering food for delivery to your house and then giving cash to the driver

I actually just tried this out- you need to change the region to China Mainland actually, not the language.

I agree that the comparison to Hitler is a non sequitur. However, as a citizen in a democracy, I am pretty sure the writer of that posts intends it to be a criticism of an authoritarian dictatorship and not China's people or people of

I experienced this myself as a dual citizen that considered working in Canada. I received an offer in the US that was $60k higher than offers I received from Canadian startups. Does anyone know what factors (cultural, political or other) co

There's also the confusion between "passengers" vs "crew" vs "children" or "babies". Souls conveniently includes all of those groups and excludes irrelevant factors like dead bodies.

I'm not sure how you interpreted anxiety on my part here? The slogan does not make me anxious. I know what it "really" means, and as I stated previously I am 100% in support of that message. I am frustrated because I believe

So why do young men study CS in college if programmers aren't glorified? Not to mention that being a "nerd" and "computer whiz" has never been a culturally attractive label, no matter what people might say today.

Here's what I don't understand. Traditionally male-dominated fields rife with harassment issues - like law and medicine - now have much less of a problem, because the gender ratio has been somewhat normalized. Tech companies are

What is the point of this comment? I initially misread "company" as "country" - and in that interpretation I wholeheartedly agree.

You say that criticism can be destructive and constructive, which is true. Ridicule, defined as "[applying] contemptuous and dismissive language or behavior" can swiftly and temptingly become "deconstructive criticism".

I don't see the big deal. I'm all for it. I know plenty of countries where unnecessary protesting and unfounded attempts at publicity are illegal. Criticizing the government is pretty much fake news. Everybody hates protestors.
