I completely understand the frustration and the conclusion you arrived at. The problem is echo chambers existed before the advent of online social media. Safe to say they have existed since nearly the dawn of human consciousness. The differ

The fact that you see corporate layoffs and what Elon Musk is doing in the U.S. government as in any way remotely comparable is... troubling.

It can also serve as a helpful reference point for "what am I (still) doing here?" so that you can judge when you perhaps should not be.

The full comment does provide context clues to the author's intent, but it was somewhat poorly worded (i.e., "vast majority of apartments" is easily taken to mean individual units/their tenants, and not the property in

While I completely understand OP's sentiment, after literal decades of web/front-end development, I never quite grasped the depth of disdain for Javascript or CSS until being on a team where more than the same 2 or 3 people were a

That's your right and I can understand why you might feel that way, but you should probably understand the compromises that are being made in doing so.

The #1 rule in my home is "Be kind" (not to be confused with "be nice".) The #1 rule I try to abide by when coding is "Be empathetic" (to others and my future self.) In practice, this means things like valuin

Where are the "dubious" claims? No one's saying he's an alien or playing 4-D chess. He's one of the most public figures in the world right now, with hours of video "evidence" widely and easily available. A

This has been an unending source of frustration for me when I have followed someone on any of the algorithmic platforms vs. self-publishing. So often many will invariably end up letting the place where they predominant publish to dictate w

Uh, is Trump's mouth during both of his presidential campaigns citation enough? He's not even shy about his, um, desire for fealty.

It really is despairingly sad how many of these comments (assumedly by U.S. citizens) seem to not realize or believe these actions will have an effect on them. Are some of these things normal SOP for a regime change? Sure. But to normalize

By your own logic, they must like it? Do you think they wouldn't if they had viable options??

Billionaires simply cannot exist without exploitation somewhere (though most often throughout the system that enriched them.) This isn't even controversial. Many simply choose to think it's acceptable, even preferable, through wha

I'm speaking to depths of despair and mass of devastation, for which IE6 has no equal. I can imagine the 7 people who used Netscape on Linux were very annoyed every so often.

Totally worth the exploitation, amirite?? /s (You do realize we did this before without them, right?)

Used and refurb devices are a thing. I'm not justifying badly-optimized sites/apps but frankly I don't expect an entry level 4 cylinder gas-powered car to perform the same as a high-end EV.

Okay, first of all, distill this down to a 2 minute preso that's heavy on the ROI, because many organizations aren't going to let go of the eye candy and—usually the worse offenders—the legion of third-party assets. Not to mention

Some "unit elasticity" going on maybe? Seems a little odd to be surprised when a business that (by the author's own admission in this case) seems to have an established history of customer hostile actions.

Now someone do a chart with data that includes fertility rate, neonatal outcomes/infant mortality, healthcare availability/affordability, social safety net, cost of living, wealth equality/disparity, happiness, etc.

All I see here is an all-too-common organizational issue that something like this is having to be explained to someone in a management role. They should know these things. And they should know them well. If your company is needing to have c

Buy once, cry once. All else being equal, a TV (i.e., TV-sized) unit generally has a broader set of use cases and longer useful lifecycle than a computer monitor for the original purchaser †, which could be argued makes good economical s
