I may be naive/ignorant (I do have an Electrical Engineering B.S.), but hardware really seems like it would benefit from an experience / innovation sharing like this. It seems like hardware is at an inflection point w.r.t. large p

Okay. This is a good data point and where I think we culturally and legally should be focusing our attention; laws should be passed to expand employee liberties and ensure the right to disclose wages for a specific class of employees before

Regulation like this would be absurd considering anyone can legally publish their salary publicly. Salaries are not public because employees want them not to be public. I don't want lawmakers or trade unions undermining my right to pri

S did not force himself on M. Objectively, he abused his power to make a trade for personal gain, and that's what you're judging. M was in no way forced to do anything and the way the story is presented is nearly as guilty as S in

Easy. Tone down the hostility and thanks for proving my point. Despite my ignorance WRT non-US posts, a quick glance at the top /r/politics stories from the past month[1] displays the bias I mention: there is literally not a singl

No. Reddit's user base is extremely liberal and hostile to conservative candidates and values as evident by the echo-chamber that is /r/politics, which fails to meaningfully support pro-conservative news. There are literally
