I’ve been working in software engineering in China for few years now. Never worked for 996 company, but I know many who do. Most of the 996 companies that I’ve seen tend to be ultra shitty sweatshops delivering less than bare minimum and wi

Those are all correlations and observational studies. There is no actual evidence of any meat increasing risk of cancer.

How is explicit discrimination and racial segregation ”a fight to end discrimination”? All this ”we have long history is america black slavery blaablablah” is not any kind of a counter argument. By segregating people you are doing exactly t

Maybe(?) the intension is good behind this kind of services, but honestly this is #1 reason why we will never get rid of racism. It just gets rebranded and will stay with as long as there are humans.

I guess it depends how you look at it, but regarding my point it isn’t. For example most ecom apps/sites are surely ”unique” based on how you described it, but customers have nearly unlimited options/alternatives these days.

” A high level of quality in software is not important unless you're entering an already well-served market. I wish it was.” I’d say better way to say the same thing would be ”Unless you are building something truly innovative and uniq

This probably has nothing to do with ”abusing women”, but it’s just generally about being a violent individual.

I use Apple Maps in Shanghai. It's very fast, accurate and shows bicycle/scooter lanes, indoor maps for malls etc. very well. Google Maps even with VPN (to bypass the censorship) is nearly unusable here by modern map software stan

Google is actually operating in mainland China. They have offices here (Engineering, Sales etc.) in Shanghai and AFAIK they are involved in some advertisement business. They also organize events here every once in a while.

Clearly it is as artists are not starving and can pay for their rent, lifestyle etc. They just simply ”want more”, and who wouldn’t, but free market and supply/demand disagrees with them. If artists don’t like Spotify’s offering they c

I've lived in China for few years. I haven't asked everyone I know, but based on my feeling most people don't like it. That being said, for most Chinese not liking the censorship is kind of like not liking a bad weather. You

It is at least partly developed (or funded) publicly. Lots of comments are complaining about how EU "paid less" for the vaccine than country XYZ, but actually EU funded AstraZeneca with hundreds of millions of euros to develop the

None of that is really relevant. Both AZ and EU agreed to this contract. If AZ has signed a contract that they cannot fulfill, then they have commited a fraud.

This comment is beyond ridiculous. Private American corporations are not above law or democratically elected governments. This is not any different than GDPR or other regulations. I think the difference is that unlike spoiled American &quot

I think private companies can decide themselves what companies they want to invest in. Whatever the reason is, even outside of US. So I'm pretty sure this is legal. As European (we don't have this racial segregation fetish so plea

Not too long ago there was an article on CNN about regulating the social media platforms. Author said: "It doesn't really matter whether these platforms are biased towards liberals or conservatives, the real question is why have w

” The western liberal value of free speech has never extended to incitement of violence. My assumption is that the leaders of Apple, Google, and Amazon don't want to provide a platform for sedition.” This illogical lie get spammed here

When will people ask Twitter, FB etc. to do the same?

It’s kind if funny and ironic seeing arguments like ”they need moderation”, ”we can’t allow violent extremists yadda yaddah...” Yet this was never a problem and still isn’t anywhere else except in the context of Trump supporters. Radical le

I'm not familiar with Polish labour law, but it could be that in Poland like in many other European countries concepts such as "denying overtime" are inherently illegal.

Logical fallacy. Twitter is not free speech system to begin with so ”free speech” purists are not obligated to be ok with this unless the whole platform is based on free speech. In that kind of system any user would be able to prompt any po

Looks nice, but another ”free” app. Would be nice to at least know what the ”premium” features are that are locked behind that pretty high price of 5,49€. Downloading and figuring out is just too much trouble.
