Just the next sentence goes like this: > Even if you are a woman and married to a Chinese husband it might not be enough, because he won't listen to you in business related issues. And yes, facts can be offensive. Doesn't make

Yes, that's what they think if they offer that. And my additional point was that what westerners consider "network connections" you can't have with Chinese people if you are not of Chinese heritage nor married to a Chine

This will fail so much. If you ever had anything to do with China you know there's no path in. Especially under Xi. Even in the old lang sine, when China was (more) open to the West it was still hard. Think about getting serious stuff

If you find the best way to describe the situation in 2 words then I have no problem if you say "age discrimination". But you shouldn't use it as excuse to not get what you want. E.g. you want to still code with 50? Then spen

Well I don't create the rules. Think of someone who does Judo for 20 years and still only wears a yellow belt. It seems like this person has no skill. The first impression is already negative, if one has a 20 something and a 50 somethi

Can't fully agree in quite a few points. I understand how the author got that feeling tho. Doing interviews is always eating away at one's confidence, no matter who you are. 1. no one believes anyone can actually code - I experien

In another context I went through that same realization of powerlessness myself and even today I'm still surprised how we first-world people are raised so we think so invincible about ourselves. And it's not just about our positio

Could you clarify what is not? The only advantage over rolling out docker images by yourself is the scheduler. And if I consider what we wasted amounts of time we already in my team I'd say in that time we could have written our own do

There are so many buts. For instance, but this doesn't work in other countries where you can't downpay so little or where you can't get that kind of credit on a house. Or, but what happens if you default and you live in the h

Trolling right? If my phone can, and 86% of other smart phone users can then I'd say it doesn't really matter if iphone users can as well. They could buy a smart phone, too.

It is so obvious that it will be a failure. I know like 4 big Google projects and all seem to be failures (Kubernetes being the most successful, but still in hype so nobody realizes yet how mediocre it is). Right now it seems a good time to

Well yes, if you own your shop and are one of 1-10 people working in this shop, then you don't need these high tech things. They are of course for companies that make so much money that they can afford to spend 6-digit pays for a Marke

git check certificates to make sure the source is (more likely to be) legit. And as far as I know it doesn't randomly executes downloaded files without giving you the opportunity to review them.

And? Just because "smoking creates cancer" stickers on cigarettes they don't kill people anymore? Just having that suggestion burried somewhere on page 300 of a documentation is worth enough to mention it. It's not a que

The illusion here is that it ever was different. A new bank, a small bank, a new office in your location with strong competition, that's the short term situations where you get real service. A well established bank won't even try

This is how Americans build houses. And they sell them more expensively than the massive houses we build in Europe.

I agree, however I don't think it's "just" the 9-5 job. If you had a big safety net and could move into your moms big house when sh*t hits the fan, even then having a 9-5 job you would still not follow some rules. But wh

The goal of course is that technology like RSS is presented in a way to non-technical users so that they are happy to use it without needing too learn all about it.

People want to give away responsibility. That's imo the core problem. So even another business model will either fail (it's not like there aren't hundreds of other social networks out there) or will turn centralized as well.

I like it. It's not clear to me though from skimming over the sites, whether beaker and dat are standards or pure tools. If they are standards and therefore people are able to do their own implementation, I believe it can be successful

There are so many open questions out there. For instance, how do we know that the bacteria don't form an intelligent species, too? What if there's something else out there, that just is not intelligence but just like intelligence

Yes, from jobs, from luck, from university, from parents people actually can have so many contacts that they don't have to worry about finding clients. That's a core prerequisit for consulting. If you don't have that, your be

I agree as well that protocols would be the answer. I don't believe in it though. There are two very large groups of people who make every attempt in this direction fail. Yes, even things that apparently succeeded already (like email)
