In reality, even that isn't equal. A poor person who has moved out of the city because they can't afford housing inside of it losing their license would probably mean losing their job, as public transportation options may not even

So, I would preface any advice with being clear on what your goals are and what you mean exactly by "learn Spanish." Do you mean get by conversationally? Are you looking for fluency certification? Do you want to attend a Spanish-s

The solution to this is pretty simple - Facebook should work with the sites it uses as fact-checkers to have a new marking of "Satire". Just having values of "True" and "False" aren't good enough if you&#x

Wasn't me, but a friend of mine worked from Germany for a couple of years. He worked for a company in the US that had offices throughout the world (it was a shipping company). A bit of his work involved working with other teams, so he

This is my concern as well. Most people using LinkedIn use it in a way that keeps it devoid of political flame wars, pictures of you throwing up after a night of drinking, check-ins at the movies you're going to, etc. But Facebook is j

Same here. Defaulted to off. They could be running an experiment. Roll it out to X percent of people, default half on and see who turns it off, default half off and see who turns it on.

I've worked in SV for the last 3 years at one of the top 5 tech companies, and I haven't seen much drug use, personally. I would say that there's a significant percentage that have/had medical marijuana cards and would e

This is simple, then. If it's not a disaster, it doesn't need federal relief funds. Let Texas pay for this damage through their own taxes.

Regarding the "is it okay to fire this engineer" argument the author is making - here's what I'd ask the author. If you were managing the team this person was on, would you feel comfortable placing a female engineer on t

Well, for blind users, an audio book would suffice. For blind + deaf, braille would be the only option, and if a library couldn't provide that option, there would need to be a resolution. In most cases, the resolution is to provide the

The TL;DR is that the former head of supply chain of Tesla (who is Swedish) is trying to get funding to build a lithium-ion battery plant in Scandinavia. Largely because Europe doesn't have one and is reliant on Asian countries for the

You're mixing up equal access to educational materials with an equal sensory experience. Giving sighted and hearing people access to educational materials that the blind or deaf can't access is discrimination. The ADA also covers

Historically speaking, unions do not form until the workers are in a crunch/threatened with losing their jobs. During these times, things are good for most developers so they don't see the need to unionize. Unions are also only ef

While I understand this, I think it's a mistake. His company faced a huge backlash because of an implied endorsement by his involvement in the council. It was kind of a PR nightmare. But wanting him off the council is short-sighted. Yo

So, honestly, my resume is pretty lackluster compared to most. It's simple and factual. I have 4 sections: a summary (a couple of sentences), my experience, my education, and "proficiencies" (coding languages, software, tools

I'd probably go into academia, honestly. I'd probably want to be a researcher, though I'm not sure which field of study I would focus on. Either cognitive psychology or linguistics, I imagine.

Ideally, I'd work remotely and move around whenever I wanted. If I had to pick a city, I'd pick Helsinki or Oslo. Scandinavia is beautiful, socially progressive, has great education and health services, and is conveniently located

That's true. The details of how the system will work have yet to be nailed down. And, in the short term, things are going to suck HARD. It's basically going to be us riding the edge of societal breakdown. People are going to lose

I get where you're coming from, but I whole-heartedly disagree. People have bound themselves to employment for too long. The entire idea that you need to contribute to someone else getting wealthy to have any value to society is stupid
