It's pretty shitty of hosts who know there are rules against Airbnb to Airbnb their homes out, even shittier of the management of such buildings to lock or kick people out (would they do the same to friends and family they didn't

So just like after 9/11 in the US, the terrorists win. They scare the powers that be into making life worse for an entire country's citizens. I guess people never learn from history. Both corporations and the government end up doi

What is the problem with people living in tents? Why are they forced to dismantle and kicked out by cops? It makes no sense. How can Americans be so cruel to the most vulnerable, most helpless people in our society that they won't even

The patent laws need changing, especially the laws that allow companies to slightly change the process and re-patent the same thing over and over again. Barring that, Congress could invalidate patents. It's ridiculous that they hold he

Maybe this applies to kernel development, but for web development with OOP languages like JavaScript and PHP, I find a debugger to be incredibly useful. Our apps have millions of lines of code and sometimes I watch other developers struggle

Such attitudes are still quite prevalent in most US states and at the federal level, especially with former attorney general sessions. Archaic indeed, but hardly unique or surprising.

No matter how much or what kind of drugs are being used, it's not logical to ever wage a drug war. This is probably the sickest, most disgusting American cultural export in a sea of sick, disgusting cultural exports. It's one thin

The cops will probably claim they felt in danger for their lives in this drill and the prosecutor will refuse to bring charges. Just another day at the office for these scumbags.

What's the point of these drills? It's not like the cops are going to go into a school with an active shooter and stop him. They'll just wait outside while the children get killed and hope the shooter kills himself like in ev

All those things are not required by law in the US.

That has nothing to do with it. I'm talking about providing decent wages, vacation, normal working hours, steady jobs, etc. Of course, these laws need to be implemented by the government but it has nothing to do with taking government

Perhaps Europe doesn't want giant corporations that pay no tax, create a few thousand decent jobs at most, and are in all other ways detrimental to society and all the other workers they employ. It seems to me like the laws are general

I'm sure if Boeing had correctly described the lack of these features as potentially crashing the airplane, these airlines would have bought them. As it is, hundreds of people had to die because Boeing wanted to make a little extra cas

College isn't just about jobs. I studied philosophy, got two diplomas in it and now I write software for a living. Do I regret it? Of course not. I learned a lot in college. I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about learning,

You think the work ethic is different elsewhere when employers treat their employees like shit in 99% of companies? There might not be seminars, but each worker figures out how to put in the minimum amount of effort on their own while looki

Couldn't agree more. The withdrawl severity very much depends on the person and if tapered slowly, it's not bad (it wasn't for me). Cannabis can help there temporarily also. Benzos are awful after awhile due to tolerance and

Driving or riding in a car in Romania is often a harrowing experience. Many cars don't have seat belts or they are intentionally disabled, especially in the back. This includes taxis. Most people don't wear them. Drivers are often

I agree. Unfortunately, Americans are not all multi millionaires or billionaires and almost all Americans are too stupid to realize that they won't be able to afford their own healthcare without a "socialized" government run

I guarantee you they're already disengaged if that's the feedback you got. I don't see anything you can do to get the money for your team. You just have to accept it. It's a shitty situation. Your engineers should leave

Oh trust me, I went above and beyond. Migrating a live app from mysql to pgsql. ALL the devops work for the entire company, then moving all that infrastructure to Docker and reducing costs so that all our apps run on one cluster of servers.

The only thing I've ever seen work to get significantly more money is changing companies. Companies used to give somewhat decent raises 3-8% but outside of that, it doesn't seem to matter what one does. I have a great boss and hav

Turn off those preferences in Google play services and see how annoying the errors are for yourself when using Gmail.

Of course. Google's own apps already do something similar by popping up warnings. Why do I need location, Mic, and camera preferences to use gmail or other Google play services apps that shouldn't be using any of those features? T

2 crashes in less than 6 months for a plane that's been in service less than 24 months, yet "no systemic performance issues". Somebody's going to die so US companies can make a some extra profits. Business as usual here.

That's great, but in this case even the generic costs $450 to $950 for a typical two week to a month bottle. I can't imagine how much the brand name costs if the generic costs that much. There are some alternatives like blink heal
