Looking forward to putting every Meta employee in jail. No one died in Flint. Lots of people killed themselves after using Meta products.

Maybe, I think we have to trust the medical people that they know what they're doing. My baby daughter was in incubated in ICU twice with severe Bronchiolitis. It was nice to see the same people look after her for a week rather than a

I think its similar worldwide. Like I said my brother quit. Its also true that IT people are ridiculously overpaid. Both problems will inevitably revert to the mean.

Some wards with really sick people benefit from having longer shifts as you see the person progress and have fewer shift changes. Ie with 2 people doing 12 hr shifts is better than 3 people doing 8 hours shifts as the doctors and nurses see

An associated problem is that bright people from rural or poor areas who are really passionate about being a doctor dont get the right grades to get in. Middle class kids in cities get in because its a good career but dont really like it th

Its a good idea. I'm surprised there aren't trackers on all cars already, like a 21st century license plate. I thought toll passes would do this, but looking at the size of the sensors over interstates it isn't so easy.

Totally. Brazil is having great economic benefits from cutting down its rain-forests and farming cattle. Just like Europeans and Americans did.

Most over engineering is career driven development. You may laugh at the people who unnecessarily use loads of microservices, specialized tools and libraries, exotic cloud solutions etc. But the architects and senior developers who do this

All the processed cereal aisle is so bad for your health. The problem isn't that Kelloggs raised its prices, the problem is that such big corporations sell junk food at such a low price in the first place.

Even the router I still use fios Quantum because I suspect fios configures it from time to time. Am I wrong? I'd prefer to have my own but it works well enough.

I find now I identify the companies and roles I want to do and then go after them. Either find someone you know, apply online or find an in-house recruiter on LinkedIn and talk to them directly.

I remember someone telling me this about McDonalds when I was a teenager. I went to a store and listened carefully, it was just local radio. Sounds like a myth.

The vast majority of devs are under 30. Already most people are "senior" after 5 years experience. What are we going to do when this cohort wants to get promoted into architects and managers in 10-20 years time? There just aren&#x

It isn't that simple, NYC is a good example. If you build a lot of new condos often that area gets gentrified and prices go up.

Are they going to add train lines, schools and parks? Or is it just cram in more people into a space until its unbearable. I live in a Jersey City which has sprouted lots of new apartments. Lack of parks and schools are a real problem, at l

Its not "retaliation" as such, just that for many unskilled jobs having someone show up everyday is the main part of the job. If you want time off they can swap you for someone who'll be there.

One thing in common is that to write a GUI application they're all much simpler, faster and more powerful than modern Javascript frameworks. Yeah distribution sucked but I feel we've got a long way to keep up.
