You and a large number of people feel those views repugnant. That said, there are likely certain views you have, that you feel you should have the right to express freely that a large group of people feel are equally repugnant and offensive

As dis-heartening as this story is, compared to a couple of years ago, it is encouraging to see lots of comments from people beginning to wake up to what is going on with this craziness and not being modded here. Free speech is about protec

It's not the only reason people voted for him, but it certainly strengthens his position and chances for 2024....not to mention, the first thing the authoritarian left did after CPAC was to ban his speech from Youtube.

I find it ironic that the people advocating for what used to be traditional culture. The man (generally) working and the woman(generally) raising the kids are the new counter culture. Makes me wonder if the pendulum is staring to swing the

While HR can be helpful, and in some organizations do great things for you as an employee, it's best to treat them like a domesticated lion...the lion might be friendly most of the time, but still need to stay on your toes because it c

In a US context as a US citizen I'm a big free speech advocate and am against people censoring that in the name of things such as "hate speech" etc.. Outside of the US though I have mixed emotions. The reason for that has to

If you live in the US and are advocating for this be careful what you wish for. It could lead to your 100-200K per year salary being cut to well below 100K to equalize across all engineers including those in low cost areas such as China and

The problem with the mandatory diversity training is that it does very little to win hearts and minds. Refuse to go, dare to say anything that isn't 100% in support of it etc. and you will be targeted to be purged from the organization

I can identify with the red flag where they try to pressure you to accept the offer in a short period. This is also called an exploding offer. I had a place do that to me and I ended up turning the opportunity down.

This is a semi serious answer but... If we were not in the middle of COVID I would say to take a trip to Atlanta. In the Atlanta startup community there is no shortage of MBA and marketing types with lots of ideas that are just looking for

I think that's a joke. Snakes do like to hide out in loose pine straw.

I hope that we see more situations like this. Providers need to stop moralizing IMHO and it would be nice to see this severely affect their bottom line or even put Patreon out of business.

In the southeast of the US longer pine needles from varieties of pines such as slash pine are used for garden mulch. Ironically, this was later in the season than I normally do this, I just laid down 52 bales of mulch in my garden. Here it

Adding to this. I've worked with people from Tech Mahindra. Some observations. 1. Very green staff that have little to no coding skills/ability. 2. Communication barriers, even when the people are local. 3. Jobs that any other org

I'm sure this will be downvoted into oblivion, but short of these regulations being illegal they are actually in the national interest IMHO. From a national security standpoint the universities have been a big trojan horse. At many sta
