I ran into that at times, but it's so infrequent, I don't consider it a drawback.

1) PIA is less than $35 a year 2) PIA takes less than a minute to setup on every device. Download the app, login, and you pretty much never have to worry about it again. Your alternative is more expensive, more resource-hungry, and more of

It has to be sugar-based. Probably Pumpkin Pie or Popsicle.

In the early 2000s, people were saying "Google is going to take over the world" with a smile. Not so much now.

Your experience is valid, but keep in mind most people don't have that 9 years of experience in a single company to base their hirability on. Employers can give you the benefit of doubt, due to your resume, that you're a good hire

Try applying for a job that doesn't ask for people who are passionate about code frameworks or have github repositories "for fun".

Yeah, that quote seems a bit sexist when you think about it.

Getting to that point of equilibrium takes some spending, however. Lots of college debt, rent, moving expenses to get where you want your career to be, etc.

Do you mind me asking how your spending habits have remained constant? Do you rent or own? What part of the country do you live in? Have you any kids?

I feel bad for all the poor folks on the autism spectrum who never had a chance to perceive, let alone understand, these rules.

"What exactly is it about our society that makes mental issues so widespread that emotional support animals are so needed?" is a question I would like to see answered with more coverage.

It's not that we naively trust him, we just believe the creepy data gathering is the price to pay for that warm feeling of being connected with pseudo-friends and kinda-acquaintances.

That's true. Originally I had the " men and women can't be good friends unless there's an ulterior motive" line you see in adulthood.

Hey that's not true. There's plenty of upper middle class Asians too.

Do you mind me asking the hit your salary took? Do you also mine asking what region of Europe, and how you were able to find the right employer?

I believe that's the point.

My point is that there is prosperity outside of a college education, and that we should think about what assumptions are made by employers about people who do get a college education.

Turns out that already happens without a degree. Welders and electricians are held in pretty high regard compared to someone who spent 4 years in classes that have no real world application. The "college is inherently good" model

So let's follow your logic and assume it's clearly in everyone's best interest to go to college, and 100% of high school graduates go on to university. Now the market is flooded with bullshit degrees (assuming no one drops ou

I'm curious to know what percentage of HN readers had their parents help pay for university/housing. That could explain why so many here think university is obviously "what you do".

Entertainment, and something to do, for the most part. If you look at who makes the most money in our society, it's obvious what "ordinary people" value.

Can you blame people? Who doesn't want to be the next Bill Gates or Elon Musk? The recipe is to grow exponentially and dominate the market, then to do fun world-changing ventures.

No, I'm suggesting that they aren't smart at handling certain topics.

That is true. But I ask you this: do companies hire less technically capable engineers to boost diversity numbers? Do you believe that it does not happen at all, in any sense? If you think that this does not happen, then how do companies bo

For a company supposedly full of smart people, you'd think they'd be able to gracefully handle so called "problematic" views like Damore's.
