You missed the 3rd group, and that is the people who make Android, spending billions to make a great OS, to make sure they can always track you.

Yeah I laugh when people think that free healthcare in US will unleash a wave on entrepreneurs. More like people will retire early and take time off. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it isn't a money spinner.

Yeah I know people that moved N-West from the East coast and they all had trouble making friends. Maybe just the culture is too different.

In the old days middle class kids all had real service/manual jobs as teenagers & college students. Its scary that now the new generation has to read about what it is like.

For me Black Friday and Cyber Monday really didn't have many deals. The Chromebooks I was looking at are all cheaper now than those days. Amazon devices really were discounted heavily though.

Its interesting but I wouldn't say Graviton2 is likely to succeed. Every ARM based PC I've seen has been disappointingly slow, which I dont really understand because phones usually are amazingly quick. DEC Alpha, Sun Sparc, MIPS,

I'm so glad to see someone write this. I keep seeing all these horrible code bases that are supposed to be easily testable but all I see is a horrible design that is impossible to understand - all because Mocking is supposed to be a go

I dont think this is true any more, especially with the changes in the last few years. My beef is with Spring. Spring seems to make simple problems very complicated. Its like you have to learn a second more complicated API on top of the ori

Honestly for young children I wouldn't want any of the girls to become software engineers. Most Software Engineers including myself are friendly but also grumpy, nerdy and annoying, with poor communication skills and an unhealthy lifes

Yes and one of the reasons there is more capital is because US takes a capitalistic choice on most things which is one of the reasons why healthcare is private.

I kinda agree, but in reality Europeans are much less likely to start and run a company.

Similarly the people who complain of unaffordable housing can simply move to places where they are affordable. Same logic

Yes many people love big dense cities like NY, which is why they live there. The problem is when people love low density cities and make it a great place to live. Then new people want to change it into denser cities with everyone living in

I hate things like "Far Greater Than We Realized" too. Who thought luck wasn't important and how long ago was that?

I wonder how this can easily backfire. Eg if someone repeats something repeatedly you can learn to believe it, but if you ever prove it wrong you never trust them again.

Yeah this is true, on a related note after I've quit I've had managers ask why and when I said it was problems with X and need a raise they just said all you had to do was ask and we could have fixed both problems. I was just too
