Thank you, I'm glad to see another comment like this. I've also started avoiding WP for similar reasons; it feels as though they've been trying to become Fox News for the left, which is not what I'm looking for in journ

Agreed, it's bullshit like this that makes it VERY clear that the law only applies to the poor and non-influential.

Do you have any sourced information that suggests what is on Wikipedia is wrong? I'd love to hear it if so.

Maybe it was just me, but I read GP as slightly tongue in cheek - I hope most testers don't actually have such an antagonistic relationship with their devs! I agree with you completely that they're underappreciated and minimized -

Can't upvote this enough. I've been in a very similar scenario multiple times (including being screwed by the people I work for) - remember most of these companies will not hesitate to step all over you to get the things they wan

Honest question - do you truly think that could happen? I've no doubt certain individuals would like it to, but would the people in power allow it? I personally suspect at this stage, his death would turn him into a martyr and the las

It also didn't help that Congress is more and more doing absolutely nothing of substance. The last 8 years have been nonstop obstructionism, and the next 4 appear to be headed the same way. (note: this is not to say I agree with over

Absolutely, the only way to truly deal with racism, sexism, and a whole host of other -isms is education, whether through experience that teaches otherwise, or a facts-based approach that leaves little room for argument. My problem is so mu

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, and Twitter is free to do as they like with their platform.

Juniors in particular are guilty of this, I've found - spending the last few years solving problems, they often come into the real world looking at most problems as 'simple' or 'a waste of time', and tend to be dism

Potentially, sure - as the article mentions at present, AI isn't able to be involved in moving the arm at all. How long until it isn't? What if you could have an arm and sensors installed in your kitchen that would cook dinner f

Because attacks in software are always getting better, not worse. If it's a smaller company it's a shame - many of them simply don't have the resources to dedicate to properly hardening themselves against attack, and it can

Don't usually do this, but seconding this response because I'd really like to emphasize it and I'd love to hear some of these answers. Why not just return the extra as lower rates in the subsequent month or refunds instead

It's a good idea, and as a random browser it'd make me happy, but people wouldn't be too thrilled if the price went up from the initial quote. Also if the initial is too high, it may scare some people off.

Tax increase = higher prices = how consumption is cut down. Unfortunately most people won't listen to appeals from the scientific community.

This is an insightful (and a little sad) comment. I was bullied growing up as well, and I used to find myself being more cruel than necessary with certain people. Luckily I recognized it and learned to stop it, but it's a fact of lif

Except the government has basically made it their priority to prop up the existing housing prices as much as possible, and keep it that way. For every young person desperate for an affordable house, there is an older person that is countin

Yeah, the rest was fairly coherent, but that one threw me as well. Life insurance tends to fall into the same category as most optional 'insurances' for me - you end up paying out considerably more then you get back. That said, f

The truly frustrating part to the average taxpayer is the one-sidedness of how the law develops. I have politicians telling me that TTP is vital and needs to pass, so we get strong protections for IP, more revenue for these american compan

Why not ask them? It's an interesting question, and I've noticed similar things with business analysts I've worked with in the past.

I didn't either, and don't believe I knew anyone that did (grad and undergrad CS, knew 2-3 other students who likely did not). Anecdotal data point, but there it is.

This is ghoulish. I'm sorry you had to go through that, and it honestly makes me terrified of having to deal with it when my parents pass someday - my father has already had a stroke, and told me he does not want to go through it agai

Assuming they can't get him to settle for even less. This is another unfortunate side effect of the situation; those with jobs on offer can drive wages even lower because there's so much competition for positions. 'Well, you
