I think that most people shouldn't aspire to go to college. They should learn a trade instead in order to become a plumber, carpenter, electrician, or car mechanic. There are lots of occupations that don't require a college degree

$10-20 saved across dozens of product categories times 53 weeks in a year... Man, I grew up dirt poor, so my mind automatically calculates these angles, knowing that this is how I'll pay for my next vacation. However, I can see that no

"Major YouTubers" are also the same people who professional marketers generally place in the "influencers" category. These folks accept payment ("sponsorship") in exchange for publishing videos that are in line

By the time Android P actually makes it to non-Pixel devices, the beta will have long since ended, so this doesn't really matter.

Samsung's modifications to the stock Android experience aren't "features"; these are desperate attempts to differentiate itself from other Android handset OEMs. The resulting need to reconcile two codebases leaves users

Isn't the anti-vaxxer craziness self defeating by definition? Eventually these people would die out leaving the reasonable ones to live in peace. Am I missing some obvious reason why we can't simply allow stupidity run its course?

Let's get real: it's 2018 and we're in the depths of a programmer shortage. No hiring manager has 20 capable people in front of them. A typical hiring manager will have hundreds of garbage resumes that came from people who ar

I'm not American and have little contact with Americans outside of the people I work with. In my experience Americans have set the tone for the sort of behavior I've described in my previous comment, although it's by no means

The current generation of Americans tends to assign imaginary meanings to random dictionary words. Some clinicians might classify this as a sign of mental illness, but this is an unpopular enough opinion that few would venture to voice publ

Any "quality of life" list that includes New York is total bullshit. This here list was made by an HR consulting firm with an eye towards helping companies select a site for headquarters. Yes, the CEO and other top brass will have

I'm Russian, and I parse "смех" as equivalent to "laughter" and "smiling". Yes, they're technically different words, but a person who smiles without a reason looks equally as idiotic as another who la

I’m a Russian citizen living in the US, and here’s what I think is true. 1. Social media was constructed for all sorts of parties to influence the American consumer as a set of bought & sold “audiences” (in adtech speak). Some of these

The YouTube problem is solved very easily: use the firewall to shitcan the whole site. Require mandatory VPN through same firewall for all mobile devices. Done. At the very least, my child never gets to see any of this crap.

You’re getting downvoted for snark, but your question is valid nevertheless. Most people wouldn’t know why they see value in material things, which leaves only one possible reason: because someone else has, I must have as well.

Are you high? Layoffs - and individual firings - happen all the time. The dirty secret of corporate America is that performance reviews (and even supposedly innocent constructs such as JIRA and other project management software) are really

Such evaluations are useless as a training set because they inherit the biases of whoever wrote the evaluations. Of course, if fairness isn’t a desired property, feel free to carry on.

Somehow this sort of thing never happened to a recent device like the S7 back in the days of CM, before it became Cyanogen Inc. Between the death of Cyanogen Inc. and the birth of LOS a crucial ingredient appears to have been lost, leaving

LineageOS is no longer the CyanogenMod it once was. Where CM received regular updates and supported a plethora of devices, LOS has been dropping devices and doesn't do Oreo. My Galaxy S7 is no longer supported by LOS for absolutely no

Oh, certainly! I'd even go as far as call irresponsible the use of any closed source software in situations that call for tight security. In this sense, choosing Mac, Windows or PutinOS (oh, how I wish such a thing existed!) carries ex

Platforms don't require AV software: people do. A security-minded user could live in Windows and never catch a virus. On the other hand, I've seen careless individuals become infected with the worst malware by downloading the wron
