Your neighbors could be H-1B holders. I can respect the economic arguments for it, even if I often disagree with them. This is just... not racist but it's about as foul in it's own way.

How is that a fair argument? It's anti-immigrant BS.

I question this post. First off, they hire H-1Bs into normal SWE roles. Second, U of W is University of Washington right? A school with a very well regarded CS program. Why would they have hundreds of graduates not getting jobs? Why would t

Or it will be seen as another power grab by google. I'm not saying it's a move that hurts consumers, I'm saying I see it as a power grab and yet more control over the web being handed over. I'm unconvinced that relying o

How is it not a massive legal problem to have an ad company supplying the ad blocker, and deciding what gets blocked?

I'm surprised Tesla hasn't tossed in the standard mandatory arbitration/anti-class action BS in their EULA.

Indentured servitude was a system where you would enter into a basically unbreakable contract to work in exchange for passage to america (specific case, but general idea). Once you got here the captain of the ship would sell off the contrac

I'm starting to find the "indentured servitude" thing really pretty irritating. Comparing being a highly paid tech worker with some issues changing jobs to an illegal form of (essentially) slavery is ridiculous. I also don&#x

How exactly do either of those acts contribute to current problems?

No, not really. You can't quit at certain stages of the green card process or you start all over. No matter how much you hate your current job you can't just quit. Pick the wrong company and they lay you off, that sucks leave the

> you're tipping for good service/entertainment Never in my life have I done that. Not once. I tip because otherwise I'm an awful person who took money away the poor hardworking waiter. It's amazing that the US has ma

> stiffing them is just as bad So not bad at all. It's in no way my responsibility to cover their wages. If the bar wants to raise prices a bit compensate then fine, but tipping is a ridiculous practice.

This is easily countered by requiring drivers to rate passengers to receive the tip.

How exactly are comments like the one at the top of this chain constructive? It's been downvoted and people have responded in ways which do break the rules. It's essentially saying if you like this movie, you are either a moron or

It's building an engine from scratch as opposed to using legacy code and design decisions. Why wouldn't you expect that to be faster?

But Elon Musk is literally Iron Man/the God King. What does it matter if I don't understand anything about the industry, Elon will lead me to the promised (of mars, or hacking the matrix).

Yeah, but the republicans do what they want. Many probably thought the whole actually voting on supreme court nominees should continue.
