Liberals/left side is significantly different from the establishment of the democractic party or neo-liberals. neo-liberals are supporting the current system, in a "nicer" way. Leftist, lets say Sanders or Warren wants taxes

The establishment in the US (or Britain) always support those things (except going to war with Russia that if any support comes from the GOP).

But doesn't the wokish leftism also tick most of the boxes. You can say that they have real issue to complain about, but completely made up is not one of the boxes.

Flat Earth Society is a joke right? None of them really believe that? Some of the Q-Anon stuff is pretty wild as well, but the core tenets cannot be as strongly disproved as the core of the Flat Earth Society's that the earth is flat.

Terrorists these days are willing to die with the plane so it’s not such a big deal anymore I guess.

I believe in redemption, and I think US jail sentences are extremely excessive. That is an issue for voters. I do not believe in random justice where connected people can be pardoned even if they deserve so when there are literally millions

100% agree with you and the parent, but it should not be at the whim of a governor/president.

Mountain View (location of Google HQ) has playgrounds where it is most likely unsafe to let your kids play. This is across the road from Google offices at Fairchild. https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/i

Pardoned by Trump. We should name and shame each one until this stops.

I once interviewed with a startup and the equity part of the offer was only x number of options. So I was like, OK what is current/expected evaluation and how many shares outstanding, like what is the percentage I get. That was apparen

This one reviews it in a different game, and there the defense fails if the seas are too choppy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxwh6MGLJNc I would say these are all games and have little value but what do I know.

Most democracies have some mechanism in place to prevent majorities to change too much at one and prevent abuse of minorities. One example many share is a constitution that needs more than a majority to change.

I mean you are correct, but why else would a pointer be converted to it if not to cast it back at some point? I guess you can print it for debugging, but most other uses means it will be used as pointer at some point.

Or language interop? At least in jni it’s normal to store a c/c++ pointer in Java as long, and then send it back to c where it has to be converted to a pointer.

5) this was a missile cruiser designed to give air cover to other ships. There is no way two Ukrainian modules are supposed to go through it’s air cover. I read the send TB2’s along to overwhelm the air defenses, but this is just utterly em

The NATO stuff is really silly. It is not like NATO is in any way pressuring countries to join. There are countries desperate to join that NATO choose not to accept. People and countries should be free to choose their own destiny, not based

This is really not true for either. You can be pre-assigned teams before bootcamp/hiring in both. Many/most don't. And sometimes the pre-allocated team does not exist anymore when you finally show up to work.

Facebook/Meta can for sure assign team before bootcamp. The candidate can still change teams during bootcamp, but there will be a spot ready for them. At least that is how I have seen it. One thing to notice about FAANG and other large

I'm remote for Meta/FB I can say that remote means remote. There is no pressure to come to the office, and they are OK with people relocating away from the office. The comp gets adjusted based on zip code or something like that. Y

I can certainly share your concern here, but not sure what can be done about this. Since you probably have done more thinking in this space, what are some things you think are possible?

If the US becomes more isolationist NATO becomes a bit meaningless since NATO is basically the US guaranteeing everyone. And that is looking to happen even with Biden. The next president will almost certainly be an America First republican

Germany is going to need nuclear weapons soon as well. The U.S. is not a long term stable partner, the UK is out of the EU so now they can only depend on France for deterrent. That’s probably not enough with a hostile neighbor in the east.

There is a difference between the truth and a truth. It wouldn't be pretentious to share something of your story and how you saw it in the larger picture.

There were pretty bad anti-union activity back in the day in Norway as well. The army was used to squash strikes. These days not so much. I think part of the reason Norway works is that it has gotten past the insane hostility and there is n
