Well, they pretend to care a great deal for certain groups of people, but numbers like this show who they actually care for. It’s the duplicity that bothers me personally. If they’d just be honest I’d have more respect for them.

Yeah. Stuff like that quote is how workplace violence starts. If you’re a manager pulling this stuff, I hope you’re prepared to defend yourself when there’s nobody around to save you.

We'd just have to guess/speculate why they labeled it 'misinformation'. Nobody actually believes YouTube has any qualifications whatsoever to decide that. It's not a valid justification unless you accept corporate

Same reason many people in sales are heavy drinkers - they wine and dine and entertain people to convince them to give them money, usually to their detriment, which is easier to stomach by all if they're drunk.

Not why I block ads. I simply hate them in any form.

Excellent point. I agree these types of leaders are neurodivergent, just in a very different way from how most tech workers are.
247.
by stcroixx 3y ago
I would personally be surprised if tech leaders are anywhere near as likely to be neurodivergent as tech workers in general. Too many MBA types and money chasers in tech over the last couple of decades and they're all going after thes

Treating everyone the same way doesn’t need to terrify anyone.

Oh yeah, it surely will. Time to say goodbye to DIE statements when applying to jobs and forced indoctrination in the workplace. This junk is on borrowed time.

I'm with you. Sad there's so little knowledge or trust in that knowledge that we have to just observe over a long time scale like this.

Linux is an IBM product at this point. Might as well use AIX. Makes me sad, but it’s done. With what they did to kill centos and rocky I’m switching our stuff to open BSD. Pushing these changes were strategic redhat business decisions m

Of course we’ve written both. I don’t even care if it’s better. Large part of the value of Linux for me is stability and lack of churn. I’d just as soon learn another OS if I’m going to put in effort. And I’d way prefer plain text files

New constitution and then rebuild the entire government. Federal government has way too much power and taxes and spends too much. Current combo of authoritarian and socialist policies will always keep wages down.

That would go against the majorities preference within my country where everyone is equal under the law. Other groups of people in other places may feel differently in their sovereign nations. There is no global authority here to resolve

The FDA is just pharma execs looking out for themselves. There is nobody at all looking out for us guinea pigs but ourselves. If the opiate thing hasn't made this clear enough for us to do something different, I'm not sure it&#x

I avoid hiring people coming from places like this for reasons similar. Extends past tools into libraries and frameworks, databases and other middleware, developer and business workflows. Only knowing proprietary stuff is a handicap. Ass

My vehicles are an '03, '04 and '68 bronco and I really couldn't be happier with them. Maintenance is simple and if I'm too busy to do something myself, I can get it done almost anywhere for pretty cheap. I'm

It is bad for society as a whole - it prioritizes the interests of citizens of one country. That's all countries are - groups of people competing against each others. There are winners and losers. I'm fine with this. It allows

People with from countries with low standards of living would simply undercut the market, destroying it for citizens. This already happens to some degree with the visa, but without it, the entire would would rush to the highest paying cou

You don’t question his family connections being the reason he got into these places rather than merit?

Very well said. It wasn’t always this way, but it has been long enough now that I don’t see it changing while I’m still around. I’d do anything else if I could earn even half of what I make.

They’re still valuable in larger enterprises where applications are maintained for decades without rewriting. I’ve seen db vendors get switched more than once in contexts like this. Code gen tools are nice, saves a ton of boilerplate. Ev

In my circles, dealers would always be the absolute last resort option for having any maintenance done due to their reputation of inflating prices and doing crappy work. Not sure if EV manufacturers are attempting to force consumers to hav

Only alcoholics have lives revolving around alcohol and they're in the minority. You're simply missing out on a huge swath of adult socialization. I know many people who don't drink alcohol, but still go to pubs and bars

Some may not even be interested in or want your grace and style. A simple no would be far preferred.

I don’t think an Indian coworker has told me no in 25 years. So much waste and stress can be avoided with simple accurate communication.

Agreed. Not the world I live in. My default answer to almost every request from anyone for my extremely limited time is no. Maybe this is cultural or something.

Most do get bored and leave. It’s not for everyone. Most long time players would probably prefer no new players. It’s not anyone’s priority.

This is changing. Mass layoffs and bias against FAANG employees is real, I wouldn’t feel so secure.

I would definitely leave. Maybe for an intern that would be acceptable, otherwise red flag.
