   there’s nothing to decide. Google is a public company solely dedicated to increasing shareholder value. There’s no room for moral arguments here. Google will comply with China’s demands or risk losing access to the market. If we don’t like

   Not going to name the company but I topped 38 hours over a weekend to land a job at a tech company. It was brutal. But I still prefer that to those stupid algo questions. At a different company, I literally had an entire dev team sit on the

    It makes me so sad that we are employing people (for very little money) to harm themselves psychologically. This isn’t good for anyone, this is a case where machine learning is compulsory. We as a society have decided to hide the terrible a

    Some of us tech workers might be poorer than you think. Foreign investment in housing is also putting upward pressure on cost of living. As with most things, the problem is more complex.

    I find your opinion a bit harsh and generalized. However you do have a point. If people simply left, it would put upward pressure on wages for lower income jobs. But it seems there’s a limit to supply and demand. At some point things become

    This behavior is the reason why I’m short on Comcast. They are creating space for an ethically centered company to compete on concerns having nothing to do with internet speeds.

    Wait... Aren’t monopolies illegal? I was under the impression they were, but maybe I’m wrong to assume that.

    Honestly, you have plenty of time for a career. Almost every old person you meet will tell you to live your life while you’re young. My fiancé and I were ski bums and travelers through most of our 20’s. We are “behind” now, most of our frie

    I live here too. We looked at a condo, near Mountain View two weeks ago and the mortgage would have been 10k/month. You need a minimum of 120k, just for your house. Pre tax you’re looking at a minimum viable salary of 300k. How is this
