+1, context matters a lot. In my experience, the Dock alone is pretty terrible for window management. I use it mostly as a launcher and for easy access to files/directories. Its design works in macOS because it isn't the primary u

Again, I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure forced labour is forcing someone to work against their will, not charging a commission to work. People pay commissions to work all the time, they might agree with taxes, they might d

I wouldn't say so. I've never been to Mazatlán, but I've heard it's quite nice. IMO there aren't "bad cities" in Mexico, but cities might have neighborhoods or areas to avoid. I know people in Culiacán, fa

There is the argument though that you could "entertain" people away supporting a fair cause. This both by means of propaganda through the content they consume, and by simply giving people something they can consider "good eno

Depends on the city/country, but there's also an argument affecting tourists is just not worth it. Money isn't the goal, money + little trouble is the goal. If a city is a big tourist destination, the bad press, the potential

I'm from Mexico— there's plenty of "bad places" there too. You really don't want something bad to happen to a tourist, so you focus on the worst-case scenario. It akin to a children and streets; it's easier to

I think it's worth noting that perfect efficiency is not a precondition for positive outcomes— much like with companies themselves. There's plenty of good CEOs and efficient companies, but there's also plenty where upper-mana

I will point out 9.35% when talking about companies that size is a lot of money. Also worth noting; companies pay taxes on their profits, so while there's a lot of incentive to report high profits when a company is looking for investor

Bucketing countries into the false "hostile to unions vs. hostile to corporations" dichotomy is IMO disingenuous; it makes unions sound scary and unable to exist in a healthy corporate landscape. Taxes are "hostile to corpora

There's problems with this argument. Here are three: 1. It disproportionally affects those who have no other option. There's hero stories of pregnant woman outperforming up until the day they deliver, but this is hard to achieve a

I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure being forced to pay union dues is not a violation of any human rights.

A syntactic feature like this can only be judged in the context of the language. I'm sure there's languages where parentheses around function arguments prevent ambiguity, but there's also languages where it's very unambi

Ah yes, why would anyone expect lists' main purpose to be listing? Sarcasm aside, I'd assume people primarily list things in between [ and ], and sometimes concatenate things in there too. The language should err on the side o

The lack of a static type-system is IMO what makes these one-character mistakes very annoying. The compiler can't tell you something is wrong, so you're just left to figure out why things are broken, just to realize it was the sma

As an immigrant myself it seemed wild that I could work in the USA, and send money back to my country. It felt like a capital drain problem the USA blindsided on. Then I realized the economic gain from labour made the whole deal very worth

I agree that it seems unfair that Tumblr has to deal with this while Twitter for example does not. Nonetheless, IMO it's not without reason. At least as of not long ago, it was much easier to accidentally bump into or see recommendatio

I find it interesting that when discussing this nobody mentions immigration much or at all. The number of green cards awarded took a huge dip in 2020 [1]. As an immigrant myself, I heard a lot about USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immi
