Super anecdotal but in my experience I hear developers complaining about bloated websites an order of magnitude more than ordinary users. It's almost like for some the argument is more about some abstract concept of artisanal purity th

Only in the USA. You get every game live if you purchase through a country that doesn't like American Football much. Edit: To clarify, there are 3 tiers of GamePass. What you get depends on where you purchase and access from. USA: o

I feel like this might be the valley monoculture in play. Counter example: I lead a software team doing new product development for a multi billion company NOT in the valley. Plenty of my engineering coworkers are grandparents. They are

I think the crux of my disagreement comes from the fact while China may act "amorally" on the internal stage now, acquiring world hegemon level power will likely change that like it has changed every nation to come into that role

I think you have an interesting point about America's tendency to wrap itself in the mythos of the "Good Guy" and the inherent hypocrisy between our words and actions. But with that being said, I think you're making an u

If you think "China sucks for Chinese people", please explain why you also seem to believe they would treat others any better than their own?

I think you're massively overstating the complexity of making rice. I don't mean this to be a larger statement on the economics / logistics / choices / what have you of being in poverty.

I appreciate the point you're making, but I don't feel my comment was made to attack the website while ignoring the argument. I merely pointed out what they choose to display as their "trending articles". Do you find co
