deprecative

I've used a majority of the Nexus/Pixel line and have never had an issue either. Anecdotal+1.

This right here is why we can't get anything done. Republicans say that the poor will benefit so we can't give them money. The center-right will say we can't do that, the rich might benefit, we can't give them money.

So what happens is the rich get all the money. Stop putting means testing garbage on these bills. It only means those who need the assistance on the edge will be denied.

It may exclude skin temperature but during the keynote they mentioned working the FDA to allow it to be used on skin.

LinkedIn. Sub 100k salaries are the norm. What magic are you doing to get more money? Do I just need to like humblebrag leetcode or something to get the algorithm to spike my worth?

> but doctors, nurses, hospital staff and drug companies would still cost money.

Doctors, Nurses, and staff are employees. They cost money, yes.

Drug companies cost money, yes. We, in the US, pay them a massive amount of money to socialize the risk and privatize the success. We should probably investigate that as well. The primary issue, however, is insurance companies. They're for profit. They need their numbers to grow. How do they do that? Cover less, raise prices for medication and procedures, and raise premiums.

Have you tried not being poor? We all know the poors don't deserve healthcare.

The answer unfortunately lies in Health Insurance companies existing and we don't really want to do anything else. Eventually they'll have to stop somewhere but with everything else going up what will give if not guillotines?

It has those posts, yes, those salaries are also going down but I was talking senior to senior development salaries. Those are all under $100k that I can see. I don't have the requisite experience for staff++ or team leads, nor do I really care to have those jobs.

Full stack. 10ish YoE. Midwest. Everything I see on LinkedIn for that is staff++ or team lead.

I care about what words mean when used to label a group of people. I think everyone should.

Looking anywhere I can at this point. Been unemployed with the rest of the industry for a while. Looking for intermediate to senior positions. Can do senior level work but tend not to go for them. I haven't seen salaries six figure plus in several months unless it's some ML guru rockstar ninja job posting.

We were thought to work three days a week because of all the productivity gains we made. The time we'd be down to three days? The 1970s. Wealth always demands more wealth and the rest of us need to be good labor-piggies and do that work. Yeah, they can get away with doing more with less because AI but they'll keep on with the skeleton crew they can and carry on. Rinse repeat capitalism.

> As hard as it may be to hear, to some extent that is likely a “you” problem. Start a culture of not having to have the camera on, figure out good reasons to have to exit such wasteful calls, etc. Continuing the same thing and whining about it melodramatically is unlikely to be fruitful

I wasn't being melodramatic.

It is a me problem. Everyone else seems to love this random assortment of asinine "culture" and "team" concepts. I've worked at my share of places and it's always the same. "Standup is like 15 minutes." and it is. but then you have the 45 minutes leading up to it where they talk about what they did the night before or what their kids are doing or what life is like with their pet they've had for a decade. Everyone else seems to care and care deeply. I do not. At all. I just wastes my time.

That's not introversion. That's being asocial. People get those confused as often as they confuse introversion and being shy or quiet.

> I always felt more connected to my coworkers when we are regularly working from home. The office is such a false environment people just act very differently.

Jokes on you, I don't care if my coworkers get hit by a bus either way! I cannot stand anyone I work with. Every meeting that should be 15 is now an hour minimum why? People want to chat and I sit there with my soul leaving my body totally unable to do anything but smile fake and try not to look like I'm dead.

> I would also never pay any money to maintain a computer to do work for a company.

But you would maintain a car to [do] work for a company. I'm going to have to take my three hours a day that I have working remote, more if you include prep time to even leave the house, and spend that on bumper to bumper traffic baby!

> (or total income of ~$167k; which isn't outlandish for even non-megacorp devs with some years under their belt.)

Uh.. where might these unicorn jobs exist? All I've seen is salaries go down about $40k for like to like positions from my last senior role. They've all dropped out of the six figure park.

To be clear, it was never to hide out or wait for COVID to leave. It was mostly to slow the spread, limit demand on our medical resources, and to ramp up time to ensure we tackled it with robust medical science. Unfortunately, most states in the country don't actually "believe" in science because Yahweh bro.

Technology patents create a complex MAD situation. At the end of the day Alphabet will be paying tons of money to Microsoft who will pay it to Apple who will pay it to Samsung who will pay it to probably Nokia or Xerox or Nintendo or whatever. And this goes on for each and every company with wealth in these spaces.

Isn't the FTC in court [0] with Microsoft over concerns of monopolist behavior?

Us Windows folks are typically defaulted to Bing in Edge, but in any other browser you'll probably get tacked with Google or DDG(Bing).

Skipping the nonsense about not investigating and conducting a trial because other people might also be doing a crime.

> Because Microsoft is doing worse things than what they are accusing Google of, such as forcing users to use Edge and Bing in Windows.

Given that Google and other parties will have their chance at giving their evidence and testimony, would it not be better for Microsoft to be involved here where their own testimony will available for exploration?

Given that Bing powers DDG and Brave at least, and I assume Kagi consumes Bing also, I see no reason why the only other competitor to Google (in Search) should not be present.

It's fascinating to read your descriptions of economic realities then describe taxes as a way to get through these problems but only if you can have additional profit seeking and added layers of bureaucracy.

Cops have no duty to protect you in the United States. You might want to rethink your logical foundation for this particular hangup.

If people behaved rationally and with empathy we wouldn't need to lock down. But because we have a bunch of selfish pricks we'll always need lock downs. People cannot be trusted to do what it is good for the whole if it even slightly inconveniences the individual. In western culture(The United States in particular), I don't see that changing any time soon.

> As someone who is easily distracted, I don't know how people can work in windows, it always felt like it's not made for me, it's made for microsoft to push stuff at me. But for people who are less touchy it seems decent these days, particularly in light of wsl.

For what it's worth I find disabling all of that nonsense once, usually with a script, far more conducive to my work experience than having MacOS randomly shut off every USB port every handful of minutes and costing the organs of my first born for mediocre hardware.

> Or a computER.

I barely know 'er.

On one hand, gross. On the other hand, holy shit we could actually get good first party Nintendo games on a system that can run them. I could play Zelda at more than 20fps.

Simple: remove all subsidies for ICE cars and everything they use.

Except nobody is forcing you to stop using your ICE car.

As soon as my managers stop using my having been incorrect as grounds for inhibiting my growth in some way I'll be far more inclined to verbalize things that I'm not nearly 100% certain about.
