That's obviously coping with the fact SF is still in a downfall. There's no reason to be there with all the other cities in the Bay.

For full interactivity, I think the easiest way is for someone to use a desktop mobile emulator. Otherwise to actually convert it to be used in a browser the best bet is using webAssembly, but it probably needs to have a lot of glue /

Correct. This double standard reveals an underlying belief that managers are more productive and that engineers should eventually become managers if they are to scale their productivity. It's a fundamental misconception and underestima

It's not the only form of communism. At it's core it's about seeing the world through lens of oppressor vs. oppressed. Class communism was about owners and workers, but now it's more about race and gender.

Obviously it also includes anyone who criticizes the power of the state and the status quo. I think we've been unironically in the intersection of 1984, Brave New World, socialism and communism, for the past decade. Just like when you

Interesting, and explains a lot. I would also question why managers are the "next level" from the contributing roles. I understand it helps because you already have the experience and knowledge of contributing so it would make sen

You're right in making a distinction between the regular Republicans and Trump supporters. The difference is that Republicans and Democrats have become in essence one party that has the same agenda. This agenda includes expanding the A

We'll just have to disagree on those points. For the most part I think one has to interpret all those events with the worst intentions and biases against Trump in order to arrive at such extreme conclusions (that Trump is such a threat

None of those charges are related to what was widely reported that Russia helped Trump win the election. It was also admitted that the entire investigation was inconclusive at best, and the fact remains that it would have been an historic c

I disagree and most of that sounds like a biased take that is heavily influenced by all the lies and smears that were constantly being pushed for 8 years. Let's back up before he ran for president. He was a celebrity, a businessman, ap

All dictators take as much power as soon as they can. They get elected and immediately secure indefinite power. Trump did nothing of that sort for four years, and then arguably he was grossly negligent on J6... which would have been bad on

Most people never read "Art of the Deal" or watched the Apprentice. From my perspective your assessment is way off. Trump has very little to do with the Republican party, and is more like its own 3rd party, but because of how the
