dont get me wrong, i'm against trump. but you have to accept hillary f*ed up big time.
i have 5 years experience and already earn that much. our most senior staff gets their low 6 figures + bonus. what most dont see is, that additionally to those numbers, your employer pays their share of your healthcare and social security. thats probably another 15% or more. you get at least 20 vacation days. most of the time its around 30. they cant just fire you because you got sick. and in case you get fired, there is a social security net to catch you.
yeah, from an US view it might look like a bad place and i would appreciate lower taxes. on the other hand: my mom is fighting cancer sind 1999. in the US i would already be bankrupt or my mom would be dead. or both
lets be honest, there is a huge amount of SV startups that bleed CV money like there is no tomorrow. not to mention the ones that failed.
> Is [...] telling [...] women that they're shrill and need to tone it down and be less emotional, a sexist remark?
if it targets all women i would say yes. if its in a discussion and alice IS too emotional and shrill i would say no (but its badly phrased).
everyone should be able to take a step back from a discussion and reflect. am i too emotional? did i maybe take a wrong turn? dont take everything personal. sometimes text does sound angry and agressive, but wasn't meant to be. people are not good at communication. allow some room for misinterpretation.
but to get to your point: on a merit based system every reason to decline a contribution should be based on the contribution, not on the contributer. everyone should be able to validate those reasons. if you got a sexist and he declines your contribution with a sexist reason that should lead to consequences for him. thats what your quoted line entails. the high ranking member violated it because he took your sex/gender into account when considiering your contribution. did he decline with racist remarks? he violated it again because he took your race into account. for me that would be a far better system because it does not put the control in the hands of the few maintainers, it puts the control in the hands of the whole community.
just look at the stuff happening to Theodore Ts’o https://twitter.com/_sagesharp_/status/1042769399596437504
the same with "Focusing on what is best for the community" .. there is no single "best" and no single "community". its a melting pot of cultures, countries and people. what benefits one might not benefit the others.
this CoC is just an attempt to regulate what you cant regulate. maybe just replace it with "dont be an idiot, respect others and assume good intentions".
Hosteurope got sold to GoDaddy and they moved most of their servers from colonge to france, no problems so far.
i would not recommend strato and 1und1, everything is fine unless its not and nobody picks up the phone
no experience with manitu so far
ip-projects.de - good host and good customer service
netcup.eu - good host for smaller projects
Dont get me wrong, i like gitlab and use it since the beginning. I just have a problem with this "munch it all together" style of products.
I agree. the problem is how young boys direct those masculin traits. while former generations had a male rolemodel and ways to channel their masculin traits, i see those channeling effects fade. single parents, adhd and drugged kids, helicopter parents. Its like there is no easy way for a young child to explore and focus their personal traits. I see Men's sheds [0] as a reemergence of those channeling effects, and that is definitly a good thing. Their slogan is "Men don't talk face to face, they talk shoulder to shoulder", what i see as a direct opposite of the (what you call) anti-masculine feminist way of "talk about your feelings"
I wouldn't say its a black and white issue. It heavily depends on the topic. For example the Google Memo. Even the slightest hint that someone agrees (on specific points) with damore was a guarantee for downvotes. In that case i would say HN reflects some sort of echo chamber.
