My opinion is that likely mostly impacts men. I see men struggling to find women to date (and the opposite for women, too many men to pick from). The internet and apps have made the dating market very difficult for men in general. Women lit

This was about two years ago and I don’t want to talk about internals too much. But from the office I couldn’t load any google sites. I was able to manually connect to the amazon vpn and reach google.

I was in China for a week at the Amazon office. It was very jarring not able to load google. Or YouTube. Or gmail. Or google maps. The list goes on and on. Facebook won’t load. Even many vpns are blocked.

I wish it called out the difference between males and females. Is the trend mostly with males?

I use one is the ASUS ones and like it. But from my understanding is that security wise, all consumer routers are bad. I have nothing to back up that claim with. I keep mine as updated as possible.

Reviewing the difference, OSM actually puts the street name where I can find it. The first thing I want with maps are street names and for whatever reasons, google maps makes that very difficult in some cases.

I'm OK with giant tech companies. America isn't the only place in the world and doesn't hold a monopoly on tech. If it's not American tech giants, it'll be Chinese or some other countries tech giants.

iOS 12 beta is amazing. It is extremely fast and feels like perfection. Hopefully apple will open the OS a little more for customization and apps to do more powerful things then it will truly be perfection.

Yes, but I find it a lot more difficult to use. n++ seems very natural for me.

Not many. I read that Vue is popular in China. From a comment on Reddit: > 1.6 million weekly downloads for React vs. 200k weekly downloads for Vue. I don't think the GitHub stars measure much. People are downloading react at approx

Even working for a US company in Tokyo I made a fraction of what I do here in the US. High level engineers I worked with got offers from google and Microsoft in Tokyo and the offers were less than $100k USD. They declined. Some moved to Eur

That’s why I left japan and came back to Seattle, really no reason to work for such little money and live in a small apartment when we are living through the best time to be an engineer in America.

There’s also been a shift due to online and apps that give women an unlimited choice of men while giving the majority of men nearly no choice — the dating world for most men has become a lot more difficult over the last couple of years. I s

It's odd that the pills are branded with "IKEA" and "Skype". I wonder why that is desirable by the consumers and producers?
