If child care is that expensive, it's cheaper for one person to stay home, unless both parents have high paying jobs.

Slave labor and authoritarianism is a 'good example' on the global stage? I also have a hard time believing they are really curbing pollution. They are still building coal plants on a monthly basis.

I doubt it. There are also contracts with the other major AI providers.

All mature markets eventually end up with 3-5 competitors dominating the market. I don't really see this as an issue. I also disagree that it's a net negative. Technology adds convenience to these markets and as long as the govern

You are de-humanizing the two people that helped you by referring to them as 'rednecks' and using terms like 'one helped me ...". Seems kind of racist.

A friend's wife did this in Taiwan. It was around $8,000 USD. They had no family support and used a service that essentially was a hotel with round-the-clock care for her and the baby.

Why add more gatekeepers to the industry? It also doesn't really make sense for an IT worker to want to negotiate as a collective when individual salary and benefits are some of the best in the world.

"Sure, it wasn't 80%, but still, it's not that isolated and I hate this narrative that it was a light cold." All of my friends, extended family and friends of friends got Covid. Nobody died. The only people that died had

I find it's better for: quickly researching unknown APIs/functionality and documentation.

I was a Computer Science major and never had to get an 'entry level' coding job when I graduated. I contributed to open source projects in my spare time and also gained experience writing my own software. I think the problem is th

I'm guessing this will lead to some sort of global identification system, so we know for sure someone isn't AI.

I suppose it's similar to the obsession with the economy of Nordic countries, but failing to mention it's propped up by the fossil fuel industry.

This has been a failed experiment. When you legalize drugs, it comes at increased cost due to taxes and regulations. The black market can easily compete because they can sell a cheaper product without either of these things (and now that it

If This weren't about Elon Musk, we would be seeing an article about how cool the drug is and why it's not that bad (similar to the endless amount of articles on weed).

I learned that you can generate great value for the business, even though it only takes less than 10% of your actual effort. Nobody cares about the next cool framework you used or the coding style.

"The Act aims "to make sure that AI systems used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly." AI is just beginning as an industry. By putting these regulations on it now, you a

It seems many of these countries that have gone further left introduce laws against free speech. See: the UK.

What happened to the pro-piracy groups? Aren't we suppose to push for a more free Internet?

Something interesting I noticed is that when I cut all caffeine from my diet, I started to remember my dreams again (and sleep much better).

"OTOH, gig drivers are being paid below minimum wage, with no benefits, no retirement plan, and no stability of work." Gig work is not supposed to be stable, have benefits, or retirement. It's supposed to be there for someone

With remote work? good luck. Unions only work where all the work is localized. I'm in tech and I would never join a union. Why do I need collective bargaining to set my salary (and not give me raise until it's collectively raised)

I'm quite happy about this. I hope Reddit ends up in the garbage heap of history. The users and mods in most subreddits are nothing more than petty children that permaban anyone that disagrees with them politically. There is a subreddi
