I would be optimistic if most Americans actually read the BBC ( or read, for that matter). I would venture to say most however, do not. For example, a popular right wing propaganda news source that most Americans watch has had a handful of

No but in the grand scheme of things, things like the Yemen Civil War that has been ongoing since 2015 has gotten less attention in our media than a single Donald Trump tweet. For lack of a better word: sad!

Most local drag strips I have been to aren't much better. If you are going to watch cars go over 100 mph, there's always a risk.

I think you are reading into my stance as defending Linux -- I am not. I am just saying you have to take this criticism into perspective, and consider the alternatives. I find the clamours for the <insert "beautiful" other OS h

I can only imagine what sort of chaos exists in Windows and OSX. Unfortunately I can only do that: imagine, because it is closed source. With Linux, I can at least see the mess, and well, make a map out of it.

Great! Now let's get out there and educate, because Uber is truly a disgusting organization at the top. I am sure once they have died, their engineers can find spots at Lyft as something will need to pick up the void, so no need to wor

I will always cheer on someone building something cool, but here's the problem I have: Everyone wants to build an open source alternative, no one wants to make money. What is wrong with making money? Money is great -- it lets you buy c

AWS was put on the map almost entirely by engineering blogs (which I am not saying is a bad thing -- it's a testament to their services), like the famous Netflix moving everything to AWS article. Before that it was blogs on S3 and SQS.

I think Amazon should go back to just being a bookstore, maybe seller of indie items, kind of like that etsy-like nichce and focus on AWS, which is their clear cash cow at this point. This whole being an "everything" store thing i

I don't give a shit about titles I just want to be paid appropriate to the value I create, and unfortunately in most companies, the best way to get a big salary bump is to get an upwards title change.

This is one of the fundamental problems with our model of capitalism (which is based upon money that can be created out of thin air): demand, want, need, greed all must go up for it to work. Everything has to inflate, whether it is natura

I hear ya. For me -- It was something about trying to go up and down narrow staircases to get to my upper floor apartment that I rent for 2,000 a month for 1300 SQFT and waiting for elevators holding two baby carriers with screaming babies

It will change when those people suffer very real consequences of the endless attempts of data mining -- such as being denied health insurance for something you posted on facebook.

High stress, high pollution, rat race of a lifestyle, you are regulated and taxed on more things you even thought possible, and one of the worst imaginable places to try and raise a family. It has it's pros and cons, but I think we bo

You are probably right to an extent. I should probably phrase my comment highlighting more the unhealthy manner of the concept, and there certainly is a balance to strike somewhere. Some jobs are inherently meaningful, but I believe those a
