Compared to China, there really isn't. Literally everything in the stores in Chinese markets is counterfeit. I've been there. Fake gucci, fake airpods, fake drones, fake action figures, etc. I doubt you'll find any of this a

Because software is largely based on intuitive understanding due to its largely creative nature. The other side of the coin is that people are constantly reinventing the wheel, bloating the tool sets, and relearning lessons already learned

You'd be surprised how much companies operate in silos without any training, design, or planning. Most of the time, you're just throwing crap together at the last minute. Doing things without saying no.

I don't buy from Amazon simply because they've become a dump of all things crap for years. Their UI is horrid an tricks you into clicking on ads by putting them in product listings. And they treat their employees like dirt.

Most US goods come manufactured from China. While China has a large counterfeit market, it's mostly restricted to inside the country.

Or people generally don't distinguish between good graduates and bad ones. In most discussion, the distinction boils down to "college graduates suck and don't know anything" to paraphrase. While granted there's obvi

I was never this person and still struggled when I initially got into industry and still do. Part of it is because most businesses are run by people that have no knowledge of the timescale of their projects and therefore try to squeeze as m

I'd argue that people who read 4 or 5 books on programming don't know much about anything either when they first start out. In fact, I'd argue that a graduate knows much more than most people think. The problem is that it&#x2

Most papers I've heard of that exhibit malfeasance come from Elsevier and it's my understanding that the journal editors manage the whole peer review process and are compensated by the publisher through some form of an agreement.

Elsevier has always smelled bad to me. They published the Andrew Wakefield autism paper for crying out loud.

This would be solved by universal healthcare.

I highly doubt this is accurate. There's no reason why drivers can't maintain the same hours but still be considered an employee. I would love to be the health insurance provider getting Uber as a client. I'd be freaking rich

I never understood this. Tinder is the same way. It makes no sense to me because of how relatively easy is to hijack someones number.

The reason they don't have a choice is because the system is designed to provide the lowest quality of living possible because we haven't done basic things like raised minimum wage with inflation or institute universal health care

by jshowa3 7y ago
The idea of universal health care hasn't been tested by time yet (and in principal it will fail due to things I described above), so it's very reasonable that the US public rejects it. Uhhh... nearly every other country other th

Never used a chat client for anything other than work. Not sure why that's so difficult. Not to mention, chatting with people usually means they treat any request you have as low priority. Whereas going to them elevates that priority s

The problem is the only constant is change. Customer requirements are rarely static. So it's incredibly important to put thought into designing code that's also flexible and maintainable. Because what will happen is customer will

I disagree with code style as a fixation. It's much better to have a uniform style if it improves the readability of the code. I think the most important thing is to not make a fixation a 20 hour discussion.

Not really, Mozilla tells you to use its browser. So does every product. Why is that an issue? You're telling me you want to live a life where people aren't telling you how you should live? Just by the fact of the organization ask

Considering Mozilla created a browser designed to do its best to not track people, and private companies don't do this, I can't see your point other than being bad faith. Yeah, have Mozilla become a private company, beholden to sh

I would prefer not to see tech companies trying to fix our society. We have seen numerous examples where this went really wrong and maybe we should stop that right now. This is laughable. Nearly every single technological advancement affe

According to 501c3 law, the funding must be restricted to whatever the donor suggests or rejected. I mean if you suggest adding every single condition to your donation, you're not really helping the organization at all. Otherwise you&

Because a restriction on code contribution makes sense due to the fact there's often only one area where the code makes sense. If it doesn't fit the vision of whatever the code is trying to do, then there's no reason not to r

Yes, if you're making your own product. If you're not making your own product (ie. company development), then it's not purely a technical exercise. Even if you're making your own product, you at least want to get market

Problem with restricted fund is that the organization is forced to put it in a place where it may not be needed and they cannot use it elsewhere, even in the case of emergency. So lets say you donated specifically for development of module

Development of code is not, strictly, a technical action. Otherwise, how would you know what to develop unless you discussed the requirements of the customer? Discussing requirements with the customer, or even within your team, involves sev
