Good for you. You are in the minority. I'll ask you how you feel again after Trump discontinues the program. You remember that was one of his big campaign promises, right?

"Life has never been better." Tell that to all the trans people that now have to worry if "Small government conservatives" are going to legislate what bathroom they can use, or if employers can discriminate against them.

Oh joy. We get to work ourselves to the bone, neglect our families and health to make someone else rich.

So how is that better? You're not actually getting days off. You're still having to work. So you're not getting the benefit of vacation.

You say that as if the US is a poor country. It's not. There's no reason whatsoever that we couldn't have what Switzerland has, other than some assholes at the top see it as an impediment to their having all of the money.

Not really. Startups can have people coasting along as well.

I think it is an incredibly obvious claim that America would be better off. For one, we'd be able to spend that money on other things, or just lower taxes by that much.

I agree it can be kinda icky, but at the same time, there's no real good way to get people who like the app to leave a good review. And the way things are in the stores, you have to have those good reviews.

Which is probably why not many would want to use them. To some, being able to delete tweets is a feature.

You know, you say that, but there really isn't much of anything to back it up.

Anti-vaxxers are a fringe element of the left. Climate deniers are the mainstay of the right. Do not falsely equivalate the two.

Then they should have taken private sector jobs. I'm sorry, but if they do not resist Trump, then they are complacent in his bullying.

It is the duty of every scientist working at all of these government agencies to ensure that data continues to be made public, no matter who is in the White House.

I'm sure it's just in general. I mean, look how well Circuit City did after getting rid of their most senior people.

You are also not taking into consideration that I, quite frankly, do not have the time or expertise to vet everyone who tries to buy something from me.

No, but say, the fine for speeding becomes "pocket change" if you're independently wealthy.

It IS, however, reasonable to expect McDonald's, knowing the temperatures at which they serve coffee, to do so in a vessel that can withstand the heat. And actually they had plenty of complaints of injury on their coffee. It just happe

You bring up justice system and cases, but you fail to remember that we're talking about a company deciding not to do business with someone.

"Boo on Obama for not even bothering to try for Universal Healthcare..." How old were you when the ACA was passed? I ask not to be snarky, but to see if you remember the huge fight that erupted over the whole thing. Go back and re

He should have a bit of say in that, yeah. But if he didn't use any of that influence, then it wouldn't happen.

He can launch programs all he wants, but unless that trickles down to management, and the incentives are aligned to at least reward iterative development as much as launching new products, it's not going to change anything.

So don't use password managers? That is the most common way to take a password from one of those and input it.

"How about I'm not willing to work for you if you want control over my sleep cycle?" Then why apply for the job?

I mean, there are plenty of programming jobs with flex hours out there.

Working well from home or not has nothing to do with whether you're an experienced developer.

Yes and no, I suppose. I consider myself to be a pretty good employee, but I know that I would struggle a lot working remotely. Someone who's used to working remotely probably has that discipline, but for now, I know I lack it.

But the thing is, it's not labor saving. It's labor displacing. That's not to say we shouldn't try to automate this kind of thing; as you said, it's terrible work. But it's still work that someone depends on to

Showing concern for those who will be without a way to support themselves or their families is not being a luddite.

I mean, it'll probably be missed by those who rely on it for their livelihood. I doubt they'll be offered much in the way of retraining or scholarship.
