One option is to suck it up. 100 years ago I’d prolly have black lung by now even though I’m still a young boy. We get paid a ton of money to sit and read and type. Things could be much worse.

I’ve never worked at google, but if I exclusively used other search engines for the rest of my life, would I, too, be an ex-Googler?

Music industry is still recovering from lil peep’s untimely expiration. Things will bounce back. In the meantime, show some respect, please.

I agree, although I concede that this rational could be (and often is) used to justify terrible things.

Devil's advocate, what's the issue here? I'm obviously have my own biases, but why should I care that European regulators got bamboozled by Uber? Uber is clearly duplicitous, and I only have a hypodermic understanding of this

Admittedly I don’t know a ton about Mark Cuban, other than he kinda seems like a simpleton. But if he’s able to have a profitable drug company that doesn’t produce drugs that lowers costs for consumers.. Welp that kinda shows that the syste

This sounds fake. Every lawyer I’ve met is perennially overworked. Not saying it isn’t true, but it’s completely antithetical to my own experience.

Your solution to anxiety derived from lack of medical knowledge is more bureaucracy between a patient and their healthcare provider?

Does this crash feel uniquely frustrating? Or is that the nature of these things. I was in high school in 2008 so I’m not sure if I’m ignorant here or not.

Processes were included to amend the constitution for this exact reason! Of course the framers knew that it was a flawed document.

A judge being nominated by a Republican isn't exactly a great indicator of the political philosophy of a justice. Quite liberal justices of the Supreme Court were nominated by Republicans ( https://nymag.com/intelligence

This is silly. A conservative opinion writer could write the exact same thing about the 9th circuit court.

This is overly simplistic. I think there is value in authenticity as well. That’s not an excuse to be an ass, but its very demotivating when obvious unacceptable behavior isn’t called out as such and criticized.

Has anyone else noticed a significant uptick in negative posts about google search lately? Is this because it’s gotten noticeably worse recently or it’s trendy to complain about? Thinking over the last six months or so.

I wonder if it’s a self fulfilling prophecy to some extent. Like big money follows the tailwinds. Republican enthusiasm is high right now, maybe big democrat money isn’t being spent this cycle because of that. Idk, I have absolutely no dat

Honestly has anyone ever been swayed by a political ad? I wonder if this is something both the left and the right freak out way too much about. I’m just not convinced people’s political opinions are that malleable. Also, I do believe in the

But why is spacex private then? And Didn’t Tesla and spacex almost both go bankrupt in 2008?

Honest, albeit very naive question: Why not start a college? Does he not want the additional headaches and costs, is he playing status games, does he think Stanford could do a better job running this school than him, or some combination of

I used to worry that Apple was slipping. Apple TV+ especially made me question the direction of the company. Then I got a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip. It’s honestly stunning.

What’s he into? I got into programming as a tool to further my other interests. For a lot of people here I think that’s video games. For me, it was setting up websites, then web-scraping projects. I think that’s prolly less important than t

It is interesting how common of a sentiment this is among people, I think especially engineers. Have you ever driven a Porsche? They’re pretty cool. If you can afford it without sacrificing other important things, a Porsche (or anything coo

Substantial Linux knowledge. Comfort with cloud providers and terraform. Communication to explain trade offs and costs to non-experts.

Yeah I agree with this. And also the consumer will probably lose. And then a new competitor will eat amazon’s lunch, and the cycle continues.
