> So why are they so vilified? Just look at them, you can already see they live on the results that others produce. It's just about cloning other company's business idea. It's also a philosophy such kind of people apply to

How do you define middle class? I think people going to these elite universities either are rich(!), exceptionally talented or both.

At one point we need to ask if the emission requirements are realistic, if everybody is cheating on them.

Hardship is still a story that is told in the Startup world, because how else can you get talented young people grinding 120h/week on $40k with a high risk of the company going broke in the next 1-24 months?

That's how you get information. Someone is interested to spread the info for a selfish reason. Also when you hear politician A did scandal B. That's actually the team of politician C putting pressure on A. Or when you hear a Germa

I think it depends. If it's a really big bank, even when it's only $100 the police will probably follow up on it. But with the small competitor banks even big sums like $40k will not get pursued. And you can't say $40k is not

I can already see how AI assistants call AI assistants to book an AI driven service for their AI bosses, to find out 0.3 seconds later that their AI boss being an AI doesn't need that service, calling again to remove the booking. Nobod

I think it quite unlikely that police will come to your home and drop 26 thousand bombs. Just based on my own personal experience, tho.

Actually a lot of the comments confirm that in the west it's teh same. It's just happening behind closed doors and there are really people (e.g. engineers) who don't know about this at all.

I disagree with the progressiveness. There is some, but a lot is actually just discrimination in the other direction. US youth really goes over the top with that stuff.

The sad thing about this is that if you are doing this real goal driven it might be your main source of income. You spend your company's money on private immoral fun of customers, customers spend their company's money on your prod

But for raids there needs to be reason. I think something like the second Iraq war cannot happen inside a legal system without repercussion, at least as long as the legal system still functions.

What does that mean? Maybe it's that English is my second language? I would interpret it as, "if you really want to come here and show that to us, then we will decrease your chance of succeeding". Is that correct? And they ar

If that level of description solves any of your problems you don't really have problems. It gets interesting when you need to take out keys to get the food out underneath, or when the air delivery is full of dust. I don't know, ha

The initial assumption is wrong: Full-Stack engineers are not expected to traverse the whole stack with senior level skills and ease. Also if you become really good at something you'll realize that actually it is not all about more ski

The whole analysis loses a lot of it's weight if one considers that since around 2010 companies actively focus on reducing(!) repairability. For the producer it's a desired feature. And the market doesn't seem to care that mu

I wonder, if you go there can you still buy stuff for USD? E.g. how does the reporter survive there? I can't imagine a journalist would drop to that quality of life he describes just for his job.

The really disappointing part here is that many, many more things are like this. E.g. raises and promotions. Nowadays a lot of companies can't afford these any more. But still on paper they offer these opportunities and even really giv
