While there may be some naivety in this comment, I think it may be a better idea to address the issue or educate the folks that may not consider perils of unchecked capitalism to be a significant risk instead of just downvoting them.

I hope we are not conflating conservative values with monoculturalism and you meant to ask about two different values. Also, as someone who has been at the receiving end of monoculturalism crowd, I hope they find enlightenment eventually.

No. The issue is the means used to target ads on this site are transmitted back to ad servers and used outside this context which is a nightmare scenario.

A lot of great comments and suggestions. Something that I usually share with new developers is to get a feel for the machine. Get to know the system and its architecture even if you are writing your programs in a high level language. Try to

There are a ton of gremlins in Tesla just waiting to go off like time bombs. I recently got a very expensive repair just outside of warranty where the car simply refused to charge. Paid nearly 3000 for the diagnosis and repair for the car t

I think you are referring to our brains' inability and incapacity to perceive reality, right on. But recognizing a smaller illusion (religion) within the larger one ( the reality) is still seeing part of reality as it is.

Generally speaking, at most companies, one's credibility and therefore ability to affect outcomes is directly linked to titles and compensation (generally speaking). This is why they (or really any incumbents) cannot afford me. Besides
