Except people left agriculture because they wanted to. They also didn't need much in specialized training (and the factories were more willing to provide that). Seriously, tell us what jobs these truckers are going to go find.

You don't think so? China probably has even more to lose with automation. Automation means that fewer people will need to send their manufacturing over to them. Automation means that their factories will employ fewer people, which will

At the same time, without those hard rules, people get pressured to overwork.

I don't think I would miss out that much. For one, that environment, especially with a place called "The Oven" sounds absolutely awful to me. Second, it's not like people would lock themselves in their offices and never

At the same time, other people being inconsiderate doesn't excuse you being inconsiderate as well.

So here's one of the reasons I dislike not having offices: I actually really like having the lights on. I want things to be nice and bright. I hate it when things are dark and dungeon like. If we had separate offices, we could each mak

"And teachers? I have respect for them, but I don't consider what they do necessarily difficult, especially in lower grades." Given the impact teachers have, and knowing what a little shit I was as a kid, I cannot agree with

So tell me, what's the exact dollar amount one can make before they're forbidden from talking about the downsides of their job?

That's the problem: You're telling him that you did.

On the one hand, the tone is pretty bad, and if someone on my team had done this in a code review, I'd have to have a serious discussion with them. On the other hand, it's a reddit comment.

A lot of the chatter around this story has been that this is a "stealth layoff", meant to get around WARN rules and avoid shareholder disclosure regulations. Should sharp changes in policy, which vastly change the working arrangem

"I hope those who read this don't downvote because they, like me, disagree with you. Voting on comments is about pushing productive conversation to the top. I, for one, would like to open the doors in this echo chamber." I&#x

At the same time, if you disagree with what a company is doing, don't buy that company. One of the things that angers me the most about people like Carl Ichan is that he believe that, just because he has money, he has the right to tell

Many times, the "asking questions" thing is done not in good faith, and that's why it's dismissed out of hand.

Most people who claim they're making critical comments just aren't.

At the same time, while you have the right to name something whatever you want, others do also have the right to tell you it's a terrible idea. Your freedom to say what you want doesn't come with freedom from the consequences of s

Except for people laying out the views. Visual things deserve a visual editor. Writing code to lay out views is the absolute worst.

Unfortunately, you don't really get to make the decision by itself. You kinda have to go with which platform am I building on first.

Well, Google has to do extremely little to support Kotlin, as it runs on the JVM, does so fairly leanly, and does so on Java 6 JVMs. Swift, they'd have to redo just about their entire stack, as Swift doesn't run on the JVM (Swift

If you post harassing comments, this probably should happen. People are going to be concerned about free speech, but harassment isn't free speech, and I honestly don't believe it's a "slippery slope".

"Disclaimer: I am always looking for that Unicorn. The one that will let me write my code once and run it on all platforms. I refuse to give up this quest." Except all those platforms have different paradigms regarding UI, and dif

For Android, just use it's UI toolkit. It'll work better than trying to shoehorn a 3rd party thing in.

Nothing you've said makes that any more acceptable. I don't care if we "know going in"; it's still unacceptable, and they should be investigated for it.

There is no way you are asking these questions in good faith.

We don't want it to become accepted that a company uses its weight to change city ordinances it doesn't like. Because more often than not, it'll end up doing so in a way we don't like.
