It's purely tribalism at its heart. It's much easier to exploit a group if they are perceived as different. Skin color and looks are the easiest things to distinguish one group from another. It's more challenging to marginali

This can be debated on a case by case basis, but that's not how racism works. We're talking statistics here. If you're white in the US you are statistically more likely to have privileges not afforded to others. If you'r

Historically, predominantly white empires colonize territories that aren't white. If you're black, brown, indigenous, you're most likely from a former or current colony. It's been used as a justification for blatant expl

Traditionally? Ivy league schools or your parent's network that probably came from the same. Being white in America, or really anywhere else in the world comes with its privileges. If you haven't taken advantage of them, that&#x27

This is an extremely touchy and hotbutton issue. Many scholors have researched this very topic quite a bit. It helps to illustrate the point when you look into historical tensions between the black and Asian communities, especially in Calif

Don't forget the relationship between Italy and Albania. Also, it might be worth noting that although influenced by the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Albania separately broke ties with Stalin in a pretty bold move for the time.

This has been my experience traveling in ex-Yugoslavia. It's exactly the same language, but It's difficult getting anyone to admit that for the reasons you stated. They really didn't have any interest in being grouped togethe

Where do you see that being the case with broadband? There are many examples of private sector monopolies, but I've never heard of private sector broadband being regulated out of existence.

Competition is great for consumers. The government should be allowed to compete along with the private sector. The winners of this scenario are the citizens and the people who work for these companies. I've seen exactly this scenario p

There have been many parties involved in both Syria and Libya. Just take the NATO involvement in Libya for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_... Syria is just as complicated if not mo

I used Adobe products, almost all of them, for over 20 years and I felt so burned by their business model that I don't even want it for free at this point. Also, Fireworks was the best mockup tool they had and instead of improving&#x2F

It's basically the same in the US. Taking care of your "Mental Health" is corporate speak for burnout. There is talk about avoiding burnout, but if someone has to actually take leave because of it, there are no legal protecti

That's great to hear! I try not to buy into the "what's hot right now" mentality, but I'm just cautious after being left in the dark on products I've depended on. Glad they're continuing to invest in it.

Awesome! I like Nomad a lot, I just know how hot and cold particular spaces can be.

It's the same for me too, but stress triggers mine as well or at least doesn't let me ignore it. I'm considering flying to Ireland to try this as soon as we're allowed. I'd be on a flight right now if I could. I jus

I agree with this and it's definitely true for me. The downside is usually that once you have working code, it's just too tempting to launch it as-is. Why wouldn't you if it's working or even close to working and you can

I don't mean a hard separation in terms of roles, but I agree with your general sentiment. The reality, in my experience with startups, is that an MVP is built by an engineer or a couple of engineers and it's launched as quickly a

This is not true. There are many many mockup tools that you can use to test without building anything. It's a good way to separate the technology decisions from the business decisions.

Or make a prototype in Figma and use that to validate the hypothesis. Significantly less time and commitment.

Nomad is still technically being supported, but looks looks to be low in priority and resources at the moment.

As a descendant of the first Amish to come to the US (now Mennonite), this is the most accurate take on the Amish and their relationship with technology that I've seen online. The Amish and Mennonite split happened because one group fe

That specific example is most certainly privilege. Being able to find gainful employment where you live is usually hard to come by. The overwhelming majority of people who _have_ to leave their home country in order to find work are definit

This is part of the reason. Another part is that typically the closer you get to the equator in the US the more conservative. It's related to the reason why beach towns typically have bad food and no real culture.

You mean like migrant workers? Many people have to leave their country to find work and most of them nobody would call privileged.

I'm predicting AWS will wait for a competitor to do the R&D work, see if it's successful, and then look for a way to beat them at their own game.
