$15/hr, working indoors in an air conditioned building, in relatively safe conditions, is an absolutely amazing deal for low skilled workers in most parts of the country. Not to say we couldn't do better, but it always helps to se

The fact that you put work into the problem is admirable. However, I will say that from personal experience, I find it significantly less engaging to watch online training videos. As a junior, the most rewarding learning experiences I have

It depends on the country but "zero support" is absolutely not the case in the U.S. My stepmother was receiving more money in unemployment than she ever earned as a receptionist. My mother received hero pay and bonus checks as a g

If what you’re saying is true (which I highly doubt, given that he was tampering with computer equipment that didn’t belong to him), then the laws need to change so that we can prosecute people like this. I absolutely do not want to live in

ATMs belong to banks, not individuals. Is that enough of a justification to install malware on them?

The signal-to-noise ratio is very poor, especially for large companies running bounty programs. In addition to honest and diligent researchers, there are also scam artists, script kiddies, and soccer moms sending in false reports saying “my

> Everything these companies do is geared towards making us develop (often for free) the features their users want on their devices in a way that their users increase their appreciation for them, not for us. Be careful what you wish for.

I recommend giving it another chance. SF really is an amazing city despite all of its problems.

I grew up in Arizona which has a mixture of conservatives and liberals but tends towards conservative on most issues. Before I moved to SF, homelessness and petty crime were previously unknown concepts to me, and I grew up in a pretty poor

Maybe it's been a while since you've used a good native app. Sometimes we forget just how fast computers can be without any of the mountains of abstractions that we've piled on.

At least Apple does. I'm not sure if other companies use it as well.

You can't discount the idea that wealthy people generally have shared values that are more conducive to successful careers for their children. Therefore it shouldn't be surprising that wealthy students are more likely to get accep

Families from my home state would use EBT/food stamps while struggling during the last recession. Under these social programs they always had enough money to buy basic needs from the grocery store. There is a cultural issue in the U.S.

Anyone can visit Capitol Hill (I did when I visited Washington DC a couple of years ago). It’s not a building with turrets and armed guards all around it. It’s a symbol of democracy, so it’s intentionally designed that way.

Those are all extremely biased ways to phrase current events that have comparatively little significance in the real world.

It's not just about your desire or someone else's desire. It's also about what is best for the company, and in the case of junior engineers learning the tricks of the trade, best for the next generation of tech workers.

The equalizer visualization is really great. Smooth and responsive, even on mobile.

Kinda ironic that the site and a bunch of commenters on here are boasting about how egalitarian Finland is, and yet this is an opportunity to temporarily relocate that is only offered to top Silicon Valley talent.

The Paris Climate Accord is not going to have any major impact on the drive and desire to develop renewable energy sources in the US. Politics don't decide technological outcomes like this, despite what politicians would like to tell u

Are suburbs any different? I’ve visited at least a dozen suburban areas during the current pandemic and they are all as equally affected by the pandemic as cities are. It’s important to note also that sanitation, preparedness, and scientifi

Thank you for saying this. I grew up in a rundown suburb in the middle of the desert, so I feel very lucky to be able to live in SF now. It’s not perfect of course, but I’m proud to be able to call this place home.

This is true about how the events unfolded in the US, but the “War of the Worlds” story was translated and re-broadcast in Latin America where it had a much more devastating effect. In Ecuador, even the army and the police were rushed to th
