I've also heard rumors about discrimination by Indian managers against non-Indian employees at the largest employers in my city. I'm inclined to believe this is true as I've heard from multiple people who worked there that mo

I wish this were true but most of the people I have worked with in the past 3 years are just lazy and will pretend to be doing a days worth of work for 2 weeks whenever they can get away with it

I think it could have been but the underlying issues were never solved (bad enough to make inflation permanent on its own) and then energy and food markets were disrupted by escalation of war in Ukraine. Had the federal government pursued

After mostly using Node and Go for the last 3 years I kind of miss Java honestly. Unfortunately it's still terminally uncool in my local job market so even mentioning it would be a bad career move.

The entire credit rating system is pretty dependent on credit cards too.

It's not imo but ASP.NET MVC is uniquely good among frameworks for statically typed languages. Java, Go, etc don't have anything comparable.

I know Slack was using it at one point as well but I have no idea if they still are. That seemed to be as far as it got outside of Facebook though.

I meant relative to React Native, which isn't suitable for that either. There's plenty of areas where native makes the most sense on desktop.

by jrsj 4y ago
On the desktop I don't think there's much value in it. Electron is much more compatible with the web, requires less platform specific work, and doesn't really come at a significant performance or UX cost.

I hate a lot of Electron and React Native based software, but Discord manages to avoid performance, stability, and quality issues that most seem to encounter. I don't know what they do or how they do it, but I think it's very impr

Biggest problem I see with the current system is that it’s only a deterrent if the fines are large enough. If they are too small they have the opposite effect and actually encourage criminal behavior because the reward will be worth the ris

Waiting for it to happen isn’t necessary for it to be priced in. In many cases companies probably anticipate these costs like any other. If you do something that risks a fine it’s because you think the reward is worth it. In cases where the

SSRIs can cause depersonalization (a form of dissociation) which can lower the barrier to violence (or self harm). It doesn’t make sense to point to this is a root cause for gun violence generally but it could reasonably be a root cause for

They technically could but it doesn’t appear they are going to try which means they either don’t have the votes or think that it’s better to try and wait until after the midterms

The odds of this happening are effectively 0, federal government is working on a regulatory framework for crypto markets and it definitely doesn’t involve jailing anyone for sales that have previously been considered legal by basically ever

There is an element of truth to this but we’ve seen the filibuster selectively weakened to accomplish a specific goal under Mitch McConnell as well as Harry Reid before him. Its been done by both just within the last 2 presidencies, and the

this isn’t an appropriate place to flame an entire technology just because its been mentioned

by jrsj 4y ago
The filibuster is basically an imaginary rule that can be changed or modified by a simple majority at any time. It’s irrelevant.

Fuck em, that will never hold up in court and they won’t even waste their time suing over it anyways.

Depends on how you define “bullshit” I guess but from my perspective there’s at least profits being made and money being exchanged. That’s less bullshit then a company that just takes VC money, hires people, and ultimately implodes without

I think stronger oversight and less trust is sort of implicit in a pseudo-anonymous model. An attack like I described doesn’t require something as obvious as “code that steals money” either, it could be something much more innocuous that ev

threatening someone who has the ability to intentionally introduce a vulnerability into even a relatively small cryptocurrency probably has the potential to be insanely profitable, and the odds of it even being investigated are far lower th

Alternatively they could be from non-crypto tech startups, 90% of which are working on stuff that is just as bullshit and never would have been funded in the first place if not for post 2008 monetary policy. Crypto isn’t special in being bu

Most of this stuff is in crypto/smart contract/DeFi space…which is currently imploding. That being said I do like the idea of anon friendly work. Not even for the anonymity, but for being full async. I’ve tried looking for opportu

Allowing inflation to go unchecked will eventually lead to a recession anyways. Raising rates to control inflation is about mitigating inevitable economic damage. In theory you should have a shorter & less severe recession by doing this

If this were the case I would expect more people to give a shit in higher paying office environments but I’ve actually seen the exact opposite of that. Having more opportunities available allows people to have even less potential consequenc

The phrasing used by the poll in the article probably resulted in the vast majority of respondents think in terms of differences in pay and not in terms of investment income. I’m not a fan of wealth inequality, but some degree of income ine
