Explain it to me them oh wise one. Tell me about my privilege and how I was able to do all I have done because it was given to me. Show me how I earned nothing and learned nothing and life has been a magical journey. tell me that I could ne

Happened to me for no reason I could discern at all, twice. If you have anything important tied to it, I'd worry. Better still, put your actually important stuff on an account that you pay for somewhere else.

Actually, I learned every bit of tech I currently live off of on my own and outside of the US, I haven't lived there in over a decade. So I recommend that poor people start doing projects like I did until they can pass a coding test, g

I swear this sort of thing strikes me as 10X the trouble as just getting a job. Even if you write something that others want (highly unlikely, let's be honest), trying to monetize it adds so much hassle to the whole thing, it isn'

Enough to keep one on every block open, in my experience. They really are everywhere.

It absolutely is, they just need to know how to write code. Same applies to H1B holders. They get sold on stories of the US, move there, and then they are on the 40+ hour treadmill. They get paid probably twice what I get paid, but the US i

Nope, international company paying international wages. It's not satire, just go check out what such a wage will buy down here. I can retire in a few years if I want.

I am a US white guy, live in Ecuador, and work remote in tech. At the salary I can pull in doing this, I can buy a nice house here about every 2 years. I work maybe a few hours a week for this. Please keep telling people about how awesome t

This will never fly in Germany. Those people still have internet cafes without surveillance cameras so they can do their computing anonymously. Paranoia is a way of life there, for good reason.

I disagree. From what I can see, it looks like they just replaced the old boss with the new boss. They still follow Trump just as slavishly as they used to follow the old elite, they even show their fealty by playing russian roulette with c

Most teachers couldn't be software engineers, they just aren't smart enough.

Same experience here going to school in the 90s, but I have the exact opposite take. I was taught to question authority and think this was one of the few really important lessons I received from school. I think that's why I was instinc

I think TDD is just busywork in another form. Managers seem to like to keep people busy, often just to watch them work and feel power or something from it. They might have a really good dev on the team who can smash everything in front of t

I can't understand SETI at all. We have been listening to the sky for over 40 years with radio scopes and have found nothing, yet funding is persistently available to keep it up. Meanwhile, there are credible reports of UFO/UAP&#x

Wow. If the comments here are any reflection on the broader society, the US is in a weird place these days. Come to Latin America guys, the women here want kids and love engineers, you won't have any troubles at all.

Isn't there substantial evidence that he actually was? The Wiki article states he got shot 3 times in the head at less than 10 yards range, then his unit actively tried to cover up the killing as death by enemy fire. That's pretty

Yeah, that's kinda what I was saying, they definitely do:)

Yeah, I've yet to hear of NK sending submarines to tap undersea cables or storing essentially all internet traffic for future decryption efforts. Their little spy OS seems pretty quaint in comparison.

I taught university (big state school) about 10 years ago and it was department policy to flunk >= 40% of each calculus class. We curved to accomplish this and every class was told this was the policy on day 1. We got a mix of students a

Honest question, what would be the outcome in terms of chip manufacturing ability if China didn't invade Taiwan, but just decided to level the whole island with an eye towards repopulating later with Chinese nationals? Have Chinese fab

I really wish this board did away with flagging. It seems to just censor people far more than anything. I've had my own tech related submissions flagged because they obviously just piss someone off around here and it never gets unflagg

This has so much extortion potential I'm surprised all the major tech companies aren't doing it and milking it for all it's worth. It's amazing they have left this cash on the table for this long.
