I've been watching the violent portion of these protests and have been impressed how much restraint the police and feds have shown. It's very interesting how differently these situations are perceived depending on your political p

I would go for a candidate who came up with an idea, designed the solution, got some other people involved, and executed on it well. Solo projects are good but to really sell your value it helps to show you can work well with others.

It feels very different once you escape a toxic environment. It's as true for us as engineers as it is for victims of domestic violence or any other sort of toxic relationship.

If your post was not intended to be an example of the harm of "woke" it accidentally is serving as one. Blind accusations of racism is one of the main things people are done with. and here are the downvotes, further nailing in the

I'm not sure if that was a design decision or just a natural artifact of using a carousel. They have a natural uncanny ability to rotate precisely when you don't want them to.

Real change isn't profitable, superficial signaling is. They are doing what companies do -- finding paths to increased profit (or in these sorts of cases, avoiding loss in profits caused by threat of mob).

It's hard to imagine being so uncontroversial in your opinions, that you could afford not to even believe cancel culture is a real thing. Thing is, eventually everyone is targeted for one reason or another as the focus shifts, and over

That's what I've been thinking of as well. Anonymous identities which are linked to your real identity in some way. It could prevent the sock puppet issues without exposing you to privacy issues.

Sorry but you have to wait your turn. We will burn down buildings, tear down statues, loot and protest for you after the blacks. I get dibs after Asians, as a person who has some rosacea. For too long we have been disadvantaged.

It's the most absurd waste of human energy. Nothing is being solved, it's energy which goes directly into amplifying whatever actual racial tensions there already were. Nobody who is actually racist goes "oh. I guess I should
