Where I live, it is _noticeably_ cheaper to buy a house in a suburb 20 minutes away from the city center, than renting an apartment half the size, that would cut such car trip by 10 minutes. Given the current situation, it's a no brain

This doesn't address my question though: is it true that a significant percentage of Google's Adsense revenue comes from such ads? I'm not denying that Google profits from these, that would be silly. My point is that broadcas

This sounds like the start of a false dichotomy.

Honest question, why do you think that Section 230 should be repealed? I myself believe that companies should be doing a better job at moderating the contents they host in their websites, but also that by repealing such provision, smaller v

I guess that they wanted to go down the route of "hardly controversial and highly popular" applications, that's why they didn't include Maven. Granted, Maven is an essential piece in the Java ecosystem, yet it seems that

Yes, it does indeed have some articles about that, but more focused on race and upbringing than gender. > Can someone explain why this kind of material is so popular with San Francisco app developers? It is not. But for those who identif

I should note again that I'm excluding consultancy companies from the sample, as they are more "meat grinders" than tech corporations.

Excluding outsourcing companies, such as Tata, there is no proof that H1-B holders are paid less than the prevailing wage. The Trump administration has not targeted such companies, thus proving that this is a political move made to appeal t

Any tech company, and I'm excluding consultancy companies like Tata or Deloitte here, would have their foreign workers coming to cities where other talent is already available, e.g. Boston, New York, San Francisco. Given that H1-B visa

Many tech companies that can afford having a sizable foreign workforce, and thus the (supposedly) culprits of whatever issue the Trump administration is trying to curb with this, do: https://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2

Then your company is cheating the system. H1-B visas are for highly skilled workers, either holding higher education diplomas or similar qualifications. They also come with a minimum salary requirement, which for most tech companies would s

This seems to be likely. Google has an awful track of things like this.

It looks to me like another example of failed automatic comment moderation. But again, it will be interpreted as big tech kneeling to the CCP.

I believe the issue relies mostly on how value is quantified by company managers. It seems to me that any relatively modern practice or methodology aimed to organize and value work, especially in software engineering, is not focused on th
