Sri Lanka doesn’t have a currency problem. There population doubled since 1960 and they never industrialized. They simply don’t make anything to sell that has value other than tourism and natural resources. Trade imbalance has been an issu

This is absolutely the intention. Western Governments are looking to control the discourse and are following the footsteps of China. Honestly sad to see the web move in this direction :/

I am a bit older and have worked in IT now for almost 2 decades. (44 years old) I honestly think the general premise here holds true and perhaps applies to many of us here in computed related occupations. It seems many of us focused on STE

37,000$ really is not a huge amount.. surprised how low this amount is. Securing the systems and hiring more IT support services .. would have cost way more money honestly . Perhaps ransomware is evolving to fine just right price point nic

Agree the Russian invasion doesn't help matters... but this is not the primary cause of inflation. The amount of money that the US has simply created and spent in last couple of years in unprecedented. The amount of money inserted in

Somehow in last few years equity has been promoted and even equated with equality. They are different concepts. Equal Opportunity is a universal goal that as a society we continue to strive towards even though is impossible to fully achieve

“ I ditched them when they pushed so hard for DoH which looks a lot like ad delivery tech to me. ” Agree Mozilla’s move to enable this practically by default with just a slimy quick pop up message about privacy was weak Setting the default

Not necessarily let me give you an example. Welding is overwhelming a male profession. At least 85 percent of professional welders are male. Is it a goal to make 50 percent of welders male and female? Why? How about equal representation

The problem is using outcomes to describe equality. This in and of itself is controversial and not agreed upon (IMO). I suggest that most humans would agree striving for equal opportunity is a universal goal (although hard to measure and pe

Hmm I still work in education. Honestly it has really ramped up in the last couple years.

"Note that to the extent there was a shift, it took place in the 70s." This really has ramped up in the last 2-3 years.

I have worked in education for 16 years and just wanted to add my perspective. Here in Illinois over the last few years the state has shifted its goals to "equitable outcomes". This in and of itself is responsible for much of th

Not really. I am saying there is an artificial corporate element of inserting political narratives into much of the programming. Authentic pieces where writers just create a good story typically reverberate better with audiences .. despite

Absolutely agree… ads would be the death blow for me. Have cancelled a few times in the past because just don’t have a lot of time to watch TV. Ads and would never go back

I didn't suggest it was "hurting" children however I do believe it hurts the overall quality of the programming. One example that probably flirts the line with hurting children was Netflix's Cuties. "Netflix is also

"there is too much political agenda sold even in children shows" Yes sadly this has become much more prominent in the last couple of years. It has blatant political propaganda inserted into all of their original content that is c

Have to agree here. Have the iPhone 11 Pro and still works great. Have worked with iPhone 12 and 13... honestly don't see any day to day difference in performance.

Not sure about European cities or if they directly compare to US. Most major metropolitan areas in the Midwest and East coast region are seeing people leave for suburbs or even small town America. older article but still applies (I think)

Creating conditions to force people into highly dense urban area also = miserable people. Not sure of a good answer here

Also vice versa. Although war propaganda is in full swing … there is a bit of truth on the Russian side about NATO encroachment since 1997

Just configure into an LLC? How much does this cost with attorney fees and filing ? Not a trivial amount especially for people making some money on side.

It is indeed interesting. Most major universities look to maximize adjunct faculty and honestly new professors make much less than you think. My point is I don’t think the money is going to university teaching staff at least…

I have always found it problematic that on mobile safari you cannot change search providers. They have a small list to choose from (bing, yahoo, duckduckgo, google). but no way to add anything else. You have to jailbreak the device just
