That's never the answer. Why is it that it's ok to not treat some people with basic human dignity and respect?
422.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Not seeing racism. Again, just seeing white men not treated as the default standard, and white people here seeing that as racism.

I'm not seeing a shred of racism there. I'm seeing a white, straight male not being treated like he's special, and interpreting that as racism.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I'm not willing to call it censorship, and you still haven't provided evidence for your claim that two routinely considered reputable fact checkers aren't.
427.
by st3v3r 10y ago
They aren't. You'll have to provide evidence for your claim.

No. That causes Pizzagate to happen.

It sounds like they did.

But then you'll have to likely sacrifice several hours of your day just to commuting.

There is no such thing as true cross platform UI. You're either going to have to set things up as a least common denominator of all, not truly fitting in and ignoring the strengths and features of the individual platforms, or you'

Why should the rest of us have to deal with it? They caused the problem, and they did it AFTER seeing everything the west went through. They did not have to follow the same way we went down, but they chose to anyway. Not to mention, it does

It's not circular at all. You're the one claiming that people would abuse this en masse to get free vacation, completely ignoring the reality of the situation. Therefore, it would be on you to prove that there would actually be a

Sounds interesting. When are you going to start on it?

Even if it is higher (which apparently it's not), is it high enough to make up for all of the other downsides, specifically the totalitarianism and the pollution?
437.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Why would I want to deal with that hurdle, though? A hurdle that, at any time if they wished, could either come closing down, or get me kicked out?

No, but communication plays a huge deal in being able to absorb the culture, as well as share your own.

YES! I've never heard of one of those shipping a whole team off, during the holidays, and telling them they can't leave until a stupid fucking app is done. Read that again. It was not a vital piece of infrastructure, or an importa

That whole "new to the game" argument never held water with me. They may be "new", but they also have had the ability to watch the rest of the world, and see how they developed. They've had the opportunity to learn

by st3v3r 10y ago
I'm not going to let you use it for the "sake of argument" unless you can show evidence that it is a significant enough problem.

Only someone who has never had kids would suggest such a thing. Newborns are a LOT of work. This time isn't going to be a leisurely vacation.

>The disadvantage is real. I've tried to hire professionals in a place that didn't offer benefits before. They wouldn't come aboard -- not a single one (and yes, IMO, parental leave is a standard benefit). I had to draw fr

"Companies that can't afford this will be at a market disadvantage" I disagree entirely that this "disadvantage" is enough for them to worry or care. If the disadvantage was real, you'd see more companies sacri

Tell us what company you run. So that way all of us know to avoid it like the plague, for the extremely anti-employee mindset you have.

Their point does hold water, given that as soon as you decide not to work for the company, you're SOL. "Universal" would imply that I get it regardless of what company I work for.

When the "choice" is to not be able to earn a living, it's not a choice. And I see no problem with a government mandate for it. Because that provides "choice" for the new parents. Your way usually denies them that c

"No, we don't. We don't make them do anything." Yes, we do. This ignoring of reality, and what it requires to survive is really damn old.
