And? You could say the same about the union. I imagine the groups individuals are donating to are way more diverse compared to the union or Oracle as a whole

They are effective indeed, esp. as political donations go - who would've thought the carpenters union donates more to political initiatives than Oracle? https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/top-organizat.

ISPs have data caps? Didn't know that. I've been on 3gb mint mobile since 2016, never run out.

"Child soldiers" is dramatic. I don't see a problem with a 16 year old joining the military, with the support of their parents, esp. if they don't have an interest in college. They could learn some valuable skills, certa

There are many ivy league legacy graduates doing absolutely nothing with their pampered lives.

I agree. Over hiring in tech has been an ongoing trend. Playing devils advocate, paying for a service as an individual (like taxes or home improvement work) varies from employing people as a company. Even more reason to take hiring seriousl

I think its cause Musk is the richest person in the world (eat the rich, etc), isn't lock step with popular narratives, and engaged in the culture war stuff. "Cutting bloat" doesn't sound very empathetic either and is &q

Apple fired its head of DEI for saying they should consider diversity of thought, its cult like behavior - https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/13/apple-diversity-head-denis...

LiFePO4 batteries can help in that respect - they also have superior cycle life. I wouldn't jump into an entire home solar setup as a noob, but a simple 100w panel with a small battery can be fun and accessible.

These battery + solar controller + inverter all-in-one things are very overpriced. You can DIY one for 1/4th of the price, with better components, and learn something along the way. I will say the software/apps they come with can

Its an avenue for developers who don't want to code anymore and want to play scrum master. Prob 1/3rd of early career engineers are trying to get out of developer jobs into PM gigs.

Corporations are bad, politicians are bad, yes. But if you can't even be bothered to delete social media and predatory apps/services that pimp your data out to the government, you are in fact lazy. Deleting your accounts is simple

Yes, people have always been distracted and overwhelmed. Nothing new there. Ask your casual citizen then. People are unwilling to take the simple steps of removing spyware from their phone or daily life. That is lazy. Its also the first ste

People simply don't care. They have 'nothing to hide', their lives are better than 99.99% of people who ever lived, and people are busy with other things, not invisible boogey men (which are real, just not to the average pers

I'm on your side ... The defeatism is real, I can't really name a single win. GDPR? Protests against SOPA/PIPA? Net neutrality? Apple not giving up passcodes to LEO (they do)? I've attempted to educate friends/famil
