My personal theory is double translation of sorts. The item in question could be a 'hatchet.' Many romance languages use 'j' for the 'h' sound in English. Somebody somewhere was looking at 'jatchet.&#x2

1000 open positions? They should hire people for work/study programs, train them, pay for their education, and then they'll have a pipeline of engineers they so desire. Unfortunately, companies think they can skip investing in th

Libertarians aren't anti-union, they're anti-government enforced unions.

I'm not trying to argue that Twitter will be successful. Only that none of their current problems (eg, profits) were caused by the layoffs.

Easy: The union can negotiate they don't have to train or work with anyone overseas (or non-union members generally).

Facebook's features really don't have much to do with advertisers leaving due to twitter firing a bunch of employees.

You still have to build the process image. I suspect for anything simple enough to run as a CGI app, the instruction count to build the process image is as long as the instruction count of the CGI app itself.

Twitter could have fired nobody and the advertising revenue would have still declined, those two things were mostly unrelated. I've never personally believed in Twitter as a business model, so you're preaching to the choir there.

All of that is true, but it was true before Elon took over, now they just have fewer employees to pay, so if they can turn the advertising back around, they'll be in a better cashflow situation.

Maybe try changing over to management? You might have a shot at a non-tech centric company. Also, don't be above lying about your age.

Here's a quote from the very Reuters article you linked: > The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said last week that heart inflammation after receiving the Pfizer vaccine had been no cause for concern as such incidents were similar ra

Public health officials summarily denied any association early on. The only serious risk they acknowledged was propylene glycol allergy.

Sometimes 'no evidence' also means there is evidence, they're just ignoring it. Like myocarditis.

I also have friends and am a professional programmer. I did not attend a university. It sounds like you got swindled.

Plumbers? Pretty much find work anywhere, at least in the US. Developing nations probably a different story. Large plumbing companies will hire people with no experience, trade school not required. Other trades don't pay enough for

Fair, you may be the edge case that benefits greatly from a dedicated toasting appliance.

I understand, but if you can't find 3 minutes to make toast, just get up 3 minutes earlier.

Toasters are a waste of counter space. Just toast your bread under the broiler of your oven. Sure, you have to flip the bread, but you can do a whole bunch at one time if you're making lots of toast. You might think "Gee, that&#

This is highly misleading. The birds that are killed by windmills aren't the same type of birds killed by feral cats. Windmills kill high-soaring endangered predator species.

People in tech have blinders are. We're already in tech, so we don't see the repercussions. Entry level jobs are almost non-existent, they're all going overseas and to indentured servants.

GM has lost the plot. $60k for a small SUV, nobody is going to purchase that. Can we please let the auto companies go out of business this time?

It's not very egalitarian to let wealthy private institutions be the gate keepers of social mobility. I don't believe we're talking about 'education' here, rather we're talking about status signaling. I'm

The question is should tax-payers be on the hook for this? Definitely not.

They are. It's only the federally-backed student loans that are difficult to discharge.

I think a novel defense could be never admitting the phone is 'yours' in the first place. Divulging the password is tantamount to admitting you have access to the particular device in question. You might argue, well the police wi
