Check out LifeStraws (and similar devices) if you have concerns about being able to store enough water for a crisis.

There are many emergency food options that can work for people in even the smallest studio apartment. For example, here is a 30 day supply of non-perishable food that fits into an 8.5 gallon bucket: https://www.amazon.com/Au

Yes absolutely. Don't count on any utilities functioning. There are many long-term water storage solutions. The simplest is a large package of bottled water. Also I highly recommended supplementing your water supply with a LifeStraw or

I strongly encourage everyone to stock non-perishable food, drinking water and whatever supplies needed to survive at least a month as a matter of course.

Many of the studies you read about in your intro Psychology textbook cannot be reproduced: https://replicationindex.com/2018/12/21/social-psychology-te... It really is quite shocking. Having grown up learning

Outstanding comment. The unwillingness to acknowledge that intelligence is genetic (as are many psychological attributes) has completely neutered any meaningful discussion on a variety of very important issues.

I don't follow the Clooney example. Wouldn't he still look more or less the same if he had become a pickle salesmen rather than an actor?

>The US skims some of the best students and programmers from around the world, but also people who are equivalent but cheaper, and also indentured. Exactly. The latter needs to be shut off.

> And no amount of tuition assistance is going to make more than a handful of the kids I grew up with capable of this work. How do you know that?

In which case the software shop is in Romania, not the US. Not sure your point.

How? Sounds like their business models aren't viable in the US.

"entitled brats" in this case being people who don't want to live in third-world conditions. These other countries are free to try and improve their conditions. Trying to drag us down to their level is pathetic.

Great, they are free to open offices there then. Good luck to them!

by cheese4242 7y ago
Sounds like these companies don't have viable business models then.

by cheese4242 7y ago
You realize the companies that push that line don't actually believe it themselves, right? I always suffer a bit of second-hand embarrassment when others earnestly accept such crude propaganda. It's all about protecting access to

There is a faction of oligarchs in this country who want to saturate the labor market for their own benefit. This is merely propaganda on their behalf.

Yep. If they don't want US workers, it seems the logical thing to do would be to move the business out of the US.

It is wildly disingenuous to try and pass off being deplatformed as an on/off switch. There are many degrees to which one could be deplatformed, and sadly a segment of the sclerotic left have decided to use it as a political tool to sq

You left out a major detail. Contrapoints is a far leftist who was let off the hook after making a groveling apology. Good luck with any of that if you are even slightly to the right of center. In general she tows the party line of what is

Exactly. They jump to the most extreme case to try and put you on the defensive. It is a smoke screen for what this is all about: silencing dissent and controlling what people are allowed to say.

by cheese4242 7y ago
Ludicrous hyperbole and a clumsy attempt at shaming.

by cheese4242 7y ago
"Social consensus" in the case of deplatforming is a handful of yuppy bureaucrats in Silicon Valley deciding what people far less privileged than themselves are allowed to say. It's not fundamentally different, just much more

This is an incredible overreaction to an entirely innocuous comment.

Same here. There are tons of other languages to choose from if you don't like what makes Go unique. People seem obsessed with making all languages homogeneous rather than appreciating what makes them different.
85.
by cheese4242 7y ago
Exactly. Sadly seems inevitable that all languages will eventually become bloated due to this.

Being in tech myself I will critique the culture of the industry as I see fit.

by cheese4242 7y ago
This is a cartoon-like scenario you have cooked up. You really think random people are going to be contacting you for money because of your mid-rate tech salary? Absolutely hilarious.

by cheese4242 7y ago
Seriously, tech has got to have some of the most inflated egos on the planet. Do people in this thread really think there aren't plenty of other people making 150-200+ outside of the major tech hubs? Do they really think they are going

Further reason why the "x political thing is trending on twitter" style headline that has become ubiquitous is stupid.

Agreed. Prices are way higher in SF for eating out. I don't mind if the place is legitimately better but even the crap and mediocre places will charge a ton.
