You don't see the issue because you're not squeezed yet. Imagine there are no more cheap places to rent anymore and American work culture invades Europe. Shops are no longer closed on Sunday, you're expected to be on call on

Aside from yoghurt, you’ve only listed carbs. Sure oatmeal has protein (and fiber), but not as much as eggs.

I fear (Apple) will do something that allows the government to do what it wants (with a bit more work) without explicitly installing something. For example, with the UK encryption debacle, Apple removed Advanced Data Protections (e2e encryp

The parent poster's example was more apt with US Steel. Palantir on the otherhand is a well known defense contractor and its stock price is arguably propped up by the US Department of Defen -- I mean WAR -- having an infinite budget. D

FYI if you're a US citizen, you can opt out of the biometric photo review. Of course there's still plenty of CCTV elsewhere.

I think with a lot of these missions, you had the commanders who were idealists, or those seeking fame and fortune, and then you have the all workers who just didn’t have better options. We’d like to think of our military as volunteer servi

Yup, we all go through difference phases of life. We have a nice airbed (oxymoron?) in our apartment that gets used maybe 3-4 times a year. It takes up more space than the author's backpack, but it's also great whenever a friend o

Agreed 100%. This op-ed on a site called design systems is ironic. The purpose of design systems is for visual consistency. If someone needs to freehand some ideas, bust out a blank sheet of paper or Illustrator, but when designing a new pa

Eh, software engineers throughout the ZIRP had the choice of working at plenty of companies. People chose to work at Facebook for the money disregarding all other concerns. That's it.
