Public transportation is eventually going to have to replace both cars and planes. Yes, it will cost a lot. Yes, it probably wont make profit. This is fine, it's a moral duty we have as a society and at the end of the day railways are

I don't know what kind of selective bargaining power you guys have, but i would kill just to get my foot in the door of a FAANG.

Actually in this case it makes sense, communist theory says workers should only produce what is socially necessary, and so in many cases managers are just there for nothing. However communist theorists like engels also wrote about some indu

Corporations should not have human rights. Bots should not either but they should be allowed on the internet, no need to bring rights into it.

More employee owned companies please.

WeWork is clearly less of a tech company than even this, because their app (which every company has now) is essentially no more technologically interesting than doing it all on paper. Uber for example would never exist without the app and i

This isn't marxian and nowhere did i mention his name or philosophy. I don't agree with him much either. This is a basic understanding of how the world works. It is clearly impossible for an employee to be making more than they br

This is institutional, i'm not suggesting just 'talk it out' with people. You need a complete paradigm shift in legislation to even begin talking about the structures needed to be put in place to help educate people. Until pe

Whether someone wants to fix code because they use and have a problem with it, or they just wanted to knock out a random 'good first bug', it's not really up to you. Personally i think github shouldn't have this feature

There are no music teachers. This product doesn't exist and giving them your info simply puts you on a mailing list waiting for an instructor that isn't real.

I get the impression people here simply didn't catch that there was no actual product, since the authors were so nonchalant about it. I went to the site myself and filled in some checkboxes. Added my email and it simply says i'm o
