It is depressing to see how cheap it is to corrupt the politicians. A few thousand here and a few thousand there - thats all it takes. Maybe we should crowd source funds to counteract the bribes from the rich!

I second this recommendation. I actually liked all 4 seasons of the show. The games that lawyers play … sigh

Please don't sue us right now, our lawyer is passed out in an alley from too much moonshine, so please atleast wait until he's found and doesn't have a huge hangover... The problem here seems to be that the material is unr

Just text on the page, loads immediately! No stupid ads, auto playing audio/video, nagging popups.... This is how the internet should be. Joy to read.

demanded that I agree to never again create tools that interact with Facebook or its other services. How is this legal in any shape or form? It is a browser extension, running on users' browsers, installed intentionally by his users.

lol, who thought Facebook had a lot of reputation, in the recent years? It is like smoking or doing drugs - every smoker knows it is bad, but they will still smoke and somehow rationalize it too. FB users are just addicted to it, and they k

Quitting (if possible) is good advice. I stayed on a job longer than I should have, it was horrible. It was some maintenance work, with weird practices and really old code. People who wrote it were long gone. I was miserable. I lost what li

Maybe we could make a list. Tax filing, tiny house codes, building codes, customs fee at the borders… What else?

WhatsApp famously had just three dozen engineers managing their massive service when they sold to FB. I remember listening to an interview of one of the early employees who credited a big part of their success to BEAM

I remember talking to a couple of tiny house builders few years ago. Rules for tiny houses vary wildly depending on the state and the county. There is no central place where the builders can look up the rules (at least that was case few yea

Last week, some recruiter told me the max he can pay is 75 per hour. Just for fun, I said the min I would consider is 90 (my rate is not that much). He immediately said yes. Then I found out that this was for a FAANG company, I am pretty

There will always be a small subset of people who will abuse any system. Unless/Until this becomes a big enough problem, going after these people isn’t necessary, in my opinion. NYPL can always bring the fines back, if/wham it

You seem to be misunderstanding what I was saying (or I wasn't clear). I am not at all saying we shouldn't have laws - we absolutely should have laws and rules. I am not saying that we should sue companies based on unstated ethics

That is the problem of following the absolute minimum standards in life - we (the society as a whole) have accepted that as long as businesses follow the law, its all good. We've accepted that the sole purpose of businesses is to mak

There is this TV show called Goliath, on Amazon. In the latest season, a drug company gives work to many attorneys, with the sole aim of preventing them from being on the opposite side later on. I had no idea this was a thing. Companies do

Not saying firing is the best course of action, but they’re endangering others, so what choice do you have at this point? Vaccine has been available for months and it is free (while other countries are begging for it). We’ve asked nicely, t

I am surprised you have Netflix on the list. It would be annoying for 2 minutes, then you can simply go for a walk or read a book.

Fuck :( Do you know what happened to her? I’m guessing nothing happened to the cop?

by akudha 5y ago
I wonder if this will work in the U.S. I remember reading a story on Reddit - this woman drove half mile more (night time) before stopping for a cop, because she wanted to stop in a well lit area. He arrested her for this, even though she h

Also unrelated, for some reason your comment reminds me of Oscar Wilde quote I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Yes, all three get hate, but I'd wager JS gets more hate than the other two. But people put up with JS because there is no choice Maybe it is just a personal preference then. I'd take Java and PHP over Javascript any day.

by akudha 5y ago
Java is used everywhere, I'd wager it is nowhere near hated as much as node or JS in general. PHP with all its flaws is also used on the web, much more than any other language except Javascript, it too gets less hate than JS/Node.

We buy books that we don’t read, gym membership that we never use, clothes we never wear… I guess corporations are no different?

The problem with any system is that people try to enforce it, military style. In my previous job, we did scrum, but not too strict. We had two week cycles, not-too-strict deadlines (most of the time) etc. If I finished my task early, I was

Religion has always been and will always be a very effective way to control the masses. It is much cheaper and easier than armies and bombs. Can you get large groups of people to do stupid stuff like don't have sex before marriage ,

I don’t see how this would be effective. You’ll be up against the best engineering talent, be it google or Facebook or whatever, with unlimited money. No doubt they already have tools to account for bad data? But more importantly, this woul

It might be a shakedown or maybe a creative way to collect taxes :P
