It's funny people tolerate this kind of stuff. I'd be out the door immediately, and I have been before. You don't have to work for companies that do this kind of insanity.

The truth about the Twitter layoffs is that the company is not even remotely profitable and likely never will be, so it doesn't really matter that much as long as the company barely continues to operate. You can certainly barely operat

The "China price" is more than just the cheap cost of the product. It is also the carbon cost of the coal that is used to produce solar panels, and the human forced labor: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaels

It seems unbelievably stupid to me to build solar panel based homes where I live: the northwest US. Makes a heck of a bunch of sense in CA or TX though.

The gibberishness comes from the math needed to understand it and not from the knowledge of asymmetric cryptographic patterns. I highly recommend that all CS students take some abstract algebra courses for an introduction to the ideas behin

I think so. Individuals shouldn't be forced to hire/fire people or work/not work with people whose lifestyles they profoundly agree/disagree with.

Frankly, I don't care as long as government isn't involved. Companies (and other organizations owned by individuals) should have every right to hire/fire people based on the language they use, no matter what language that is.

There are tradeoffs for everything. Companies are more profitable when they cut labor costs through hiring people from countries that will work for less. Why should the owners of these companies (including everyone who owns stock in EA) pay

It's not just the west. It's even worse in Chinese cities, for example. Maybe has something to do with age demographics.

In an online world of echo chambers, often just posting a different opinion can be considered trolling. "Trolling" can be used to describe such a wide range of behavior that it is barely meaningful anymore. It mostly means "u

Let's not forget that Xi just publicly purged any remaining factions in the politburo that could have opposed him. Xi has more power in China than Mao ever had. Even under Mao, it took years before opposition factions had the ability t

Even if it can attributed to a "civilian" company, China is not a free country under Xi Jin Ping's rule. The CCP has many mechanisms to control the Chinese private sector as an arm of the state. Xi Jin Ping exercises more con

In my own experience, the supposed ARM chip superiority claims are almost entirely marketing. I get significantly better performance (15-50%) from nearly all of my CPU workloads on modern Intel/AMD hardware vs the ARM Apple devices.
