I'd genuinely like to see what moderate right leaning content is even available for consumption. The only thing anyone seems to talk about anymore is the grifters and lunatics.

Yeah discord and slack are the only places I recognize people anymore. Reddit is a hellhole. I lived on Lemmy for a while and its really just as bad.. maybe worse because you have to deal with the insufferable open source hardliners. For ac

Yeah you're not entitled to anything in the States. There are no employment contracts and you can be fired for any reason without notice. The only reason to give severance is to avoid bad publicity. There isn't any mandate that th

I kinda feel like the comparison between an on-prem vs cloud. For the longest time, big, old companies clung onto their data center spaces. No new start-up would ever dream of that though. They would be cloud first from inception. It's

My MKII Das Keyboard I bought in 2008 is still my daily driver.. It works flawlessly so why would I replace it? In the same neighborhood, my daily headphones are the wired Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros I bought as a graduation gift to myself from

Probably ok for very small startups but it should be a priority to remove this for the first SRE hire.

I wonder how that would be calculated. My salary is comfortably into the six figures but my taxable income is below the $55k threshold.

I basically haven't used an apple product (outside of the ipod) since my powermac circa 2003. I got an iPad pretty much entirely for the pencil and Procreate. Both are wonderful but it's a horrible OS otherwise. I don't think

I read Bloomberg and listen to their podcast as well. I am often in strong disagreement with the writers or guests being interviewed. Al Jazeera's English broadcast is actually quite good for showing an outside, more neutral view of th

Agreed. The Russian central bank did not invade Ukraine but it provided a mechanism to pay for that invasion. Her Patreon account may not have actively promoted disinformation but it provided a mechanism to pay for that disinformation. Both

I read an analogy years ago about how stupid the logic behind most promotions in software are. Think about a sports team.. "That guy is our best player! He scores more points than anyone else in the team by far! Quick! Let's pull

Anta is doing exactly this. With major labels refusing to use Xinjiang cotton, Anta has said they have no problem with it and are building an empire based on forced labor.

It's been a few years since I've seriously looked into some of these places so things may have changed or I am not remembering 100% correctly. Also, some countries listed below require a certain level of passive income as well but

I left the US ~5 years ago after getting a fully remote position. I'd probably quit if they ever told me I had to come back. I miss family and old friends of course but I can't deny that I live a significantly better life now. It&

Agreed. Partially completed might be nice if you're tracking someone else's work (subordinates) but for my own, I would need at least one more item saying where I left off or why I didn't finish in one sitting. I'm sure

I have worked on Netflix's servers first hand. After seeing how large of a presence they have in their current CDNs, I can say that they have a hell of a lot of work ahead of them for that to become viable. They are enormous.
