I'm sorry to tell everyone but this entire premise is insincere. Sure, 50 years ago MAYBE this would have been valid, but I'm doubtful. Are we going to ignore that companies in Germany were profiting off of the Nazi regime? Lockhe

Anecdotally, my mortgage went up every year due to some combination of assessment values, property taxes, or whatever black magic Wells Fargo and the government had in their pocket.

I'm surprised it isn't obvious. Let me ask - Have you ever moved a family across the country? Do you have parents or family that offer a safety net? Do you have children? A few things - you often need to pay to break a lease. Say

The thing is, rent rises faster than income. There are numerous emotional and social costs to having children, too. I should know, we have two of them. Even making low six figures doesn't seem like enough in my low to mid CoL area. It&

Even if that is a cause, so? But the real issues revolve around a lack of oversight, small budgets, corruption, and exclusionary practices that hurt already marginalized groups. Edit: "your mask is slipping" isn't a productiv

In many states, almost anyone can establish a charter school and there is very little oversight. Money is diverted from already small budgets to these charter schools. Additionally, the US system punishes underperforming schools by dealloca

Woah. Err I don't handle billing but it looks like we got App Search through Elastic and it comes with the entire ELK stack behind it. I know they are moving App Search to some kind of Elastic Enterprise service, perhaps we're dea

For what it's worth, we do around ~5.1k queries on App Search and pay something like $200. Looking at Algolia (which we didn't go with because it was too expensive), the cost would be about even right now ($1.50 premium * 6). Howe

Well, when I worked for an enterprise health app that required an outside contract with employers, Apple required a valid login for testing. So, we gave them one. Surely, Hey did the same.

I am not downplaying anything and your points don't dispute my major argument of people are more important property. The sports bar, inventory, etc can be replaced. Why should locals care about those things when there's a real, no

Surely, you aren't comparing mass murder, likely an international crime, to spray painting a building or stealing a TV? Property != people. People > property. Period. Nothing else to consider. Additionally, it's fairly common f

Honestly, it's hard for me to take anything meaningful away from this survey. For example, it groups technology as "web frameworks" that just are not equitable [e.g. rail != express != jquery != react] and compares things lik

Side note, the idea of JWT without verifying the token against a database, made me doubt what I was doing. I wasted too many cycles trying to understand how it was secure while debating how much latency my database check was introducing on

It's funny - not in the "haha" way. I don't want others to suffer; who really does? But no one willfully gives up power. We're so very close to being technically capable in terms of eliminating poverty or feeding al

I totally see this perspective. My hunch (no evidence) is that it was fine until people started using these groups for discussing business/politicking. So, basically the groups were corrupted. Once business or decision making starts to
