I seriously doubt that. Most companies are pushing internal "respect your coworkers" rules that can be linked with politics but that's not really discussing Trump. I suspect that even Coinbase with their newly declared "

It's unfortunate discussions can't be kept over ideas and policies instead of veering towards persons. While I believe Trump is the worst president the US has had in recent history that doesn't mean I'd be unwilling to e

I don't need XBOX or PS5 to defend Apple. I will defend the rights of any non-monopoly (Apple doesn't have a monopoly on the phone market) that created their own hardware, software platform and digital market from scratch, to defi

> 30% is too high What determines what is too high here? If it's about the cost of it (it costs Google/Apple much less money to build and maintain an ecosystem so they can "afford" to do it) wouldn't that imply t

When you will build your own piece of land from scratch then you also get to decide what laws govern it. The iPhone, iOS and the Apple Store exist because someone had the idea, will and spent tons of money building it. They aren't natu

Depending on the conditions of your spouse's J-1 (if they were sponsored by the home country, etc) you may be able to get a waiver to the 2 year home residency requirement, see the "waiver" question here: https://t

I was able to get a waiver to the 2 years home residency requirement. Since my position wasn't sponsored by my home country I went with the "NO OBJECTION" route. The US part of it went very smooth, it was my home country part

Some of the changes I can see a logic behind it. But making electrical engineers not qualify for H1B for a SWE job is just silly and doesn't match reality. Just ask the SWEs in any 1000+ software company how many of them are electrical

It's hard to say. I've lived din large cities in Europe almost my entire life and that experience was "normal" then moved to the US suburbs where almost nothing happens. But a few years later when I visited New York and

USB-C as a connector in certain situations is pretty awesome. A single USB-C TB3 connection between a Macbook Pro and a USB-C dock has allowed me (since COVID19 work from home lockdown started) to: * charge the laptop * drive 2 1440p @ 60 m

Depends on if those companies are negotiating lower local taxes when opening a local office with the argument of "hiring people". If so, that argument won't hold anymore.

Not so sure about that. The truth is most users cannot be trusted to make good informed security decisions for themselves. As technical people we are instinctively infuriated when we aren't given a choice but for most users that's

Yet Steam has a much larger share of the digital PC games market than Apple has of the smartphone market and the latter is being sued for anti-competitive practices while the former isn't.

I see people keep stating this but I'm not so sure about it. Do we know what critically important data Tesla cars collect at scale _and_ are able to send back to mothership and who pays for that bandwidth/traffic? To my mind most

I think there's a big legal distinction between publishing unaltered user content that contains offensive content and creating such content yourself (the subtitles are created by Google software, thus, by Google). It is similar to bann

Maybe "to build" means more specifically "to build the binary of". Then yes, you don't need data assets for that. It particularly doesn't say this is everything needed to "build and _play_ the game".

This seems like a debate over semantics to me. Silence doesn't mean violence, but silence can enable violence or be worse than violence if the consequence of staying silent are worse than those of violence: http://www.opencu

You pick one element of that context (no hard mask wearing rules) and conclude that it must be because of that when it's much more likely that other elements (or their combination) would explain the result. For all we know, if Sweden h

Somehow other first world countries manage to keep infection rates under control and not completely kill the economy. Maybe they are super lucky and we are very unlucky or maybe they have better leadership?

But a leader speaking out to the population is not the same thing as an engineer/researcher formulating a theory and correcting themselves as information comes through in their research notes. One of the important things you have to co

Exactly, and at that time my wife and I were wearing masks (that we already had from before the pandemic!) going in stores and people gave us looks, made comments, etc. That is what happens when our leaders are irresponsible, ineffective an
