This happens with any sort of foreign investments into any other country that has different sets of values. Even now the locals in my country are complaining about neo-colonialism and india/china-only perspectives in the companies they

These kinds of perspectives are often found and parroted in perceived 'elite' circles. It's no wonder the author works in Epic Games, a place in which one would need high technical chops to work there. It's also no wonde

The narrative of 'data-privacy' being a threat is IMO a whole lot of simplist bait. The real thing at stake here is the vehicle manufacturing jobs that are being threatened, and the whole chain of high value jobs that come with it

That's an anecdote. From the perspective of lean employers I suspect that when it comes down to it soft skills will lose out to productivity/cost. Also call me cynical but this probably means more meetings, many of which can turn

The system functions? Maybe in the current times, but not long term as we exhaust the earth's resources and jobs get taken over by technology to the point it becomes meaningless.

My understanding is PIDs are vastly preferred in situations where very often real world measurements have a degree of error in them. Like having the wheels of your car slip extra distance when you put your foot on the paddle for a specific

The side effect of that is that some people will get it into their head that they're the chosen ones and push their religion onto others at great cost. Religious nations have already shown that. Consider video games as the opiate inste

Would be worth expanding the worldview. It's the people that suck, the psychologists are in an effort to categorize this condition so they can talk about it better and develop techniques to address it. Can't blame them. But yes it

Same here. Got an anti-herd mentality that while beneficial in some ways, is detrimental in other areas associated with the social aspects. It's also given me a bit of a misanthropic outlook as well.

On the other side you should be very wary of blind idolism, news title bait and fanboy clubs. Maybe give a thought as to why you jumped to his defense when he probably hasn't ever met you? Was all the things surrounding Doom all it too
