True. At least Trump has exposed it.

This is just pure extortion and it's across the globe. It'll just drive more countries towards BRICS.

Good luck getting that bond back when you leave.

Disagree with the generalization. Software engineers need more uninterrupted time. If they need to reach out, let them do it. Otherwise, stop asking for status meetings every 2 hours.

I've watched a young blind coder in person, using a screen reader to build a webpage. I was impressed by his ability despite his disadvantage!

I've noticed teams that are used to playing on larger fields often have more inaccurate crosses when they play on narrower fields. Probably due to muscle memory on where their targets should be.

> It’s totally rational if you want to increase taxes on the bottom 80% to subsidize the top 20% (and especially top 5%).

Nothing rational about plutocracies or oligarchies.

> the previous administration had four years to pass laws and measures based on trump's first four years and they didn't

I don't think anyone anticipated how nutbag crazy things would get and the Dems didn't have the House or Senate to pass these laws anyway. Additionally the SCOTUS ruling made the president a king.

Windows Vista Aero: "What took you so long?"

It's always been that way ...

There's also the Multi-regional Hypothesis.

I've trimmed those in my life that don't root for me, doesn't matter loudly or quietly. I've deepened relationships that I've had for 10, 20, 30 years by rooting for them, loyally and unabashedly. I've foster new friendships by rooting for them, deservedly or undeservedly. I've realized that it makes my life more fulfilling and it's given me a solid reputation as a side benefit.

So many terrible and horrible things are done in the name of a "God" by organized religion.

Services aren't added in the equation. With services, like Netflix, Office365, etc, the US runs a trade surplus.

Just recalled my first tech company was within the borders of Stanford Research Park. Fond memories.

Just children?

Dude, I'm impressed cause I don't the energy to build my own OS kernel!

But here's a wacky idea. Just set it up so that the OS only runs DOOM as default. Boots directly into Qemu and runs DOOM, nothing to select or change. Maybe something you could fold other games into so that they can run off a USB boot loader. Might be appealing to people who don't want to install or compromise their base setup.

A friend, who owns a food packing factory, was ranting about his workers and stated, "When you pay peanuts, you really get monkeys!". I responded, "You've just stated and solved your problem in the same sentence!"

Agree. I want an advanced filtering system, not an algorithm curated list of movies based on what I've seen before. How many times does "Bright" have to keep appearing on my list before it goes away, even after I've watched it already???

Striking how clean and organized everything looks in the photos. It's really ingrained in the Japanese psyche.

The most important skills you've gained from your education so far is the ability to learn and process. Take any tech related job you can right now, don't be picky. Strive to excel in whatever that job is and not just from the tech standpoint; the business and the processes are equally important. Keep your eye on the horizon for what role it is you really want but be aware that that goal might change over time.

And keep in talking to your friends. Who knows if between the lot of you, you've already thought of the next big thing.

Lobbying is too ingrained in American politics. Banning lobbying would just drive in underground like with Clarence Thomas.

I too am a NFL fan but I watch just the highlights on YT now. 60 minute game reduced to 15 mins max without all the stoppages, ads, unnecessary commentaries.

Hi I'm Steve Austin from Dallas, are you interested in an extended warranty for your Tesla?

The South China Morning Post reports that he was fired by Indiana U after letting them know that he was moving to Singapore in the summer.

So he gets fired, goes away on a vacation or whatever, and the govt starts investigating him of malfeasance?

I thought they already had non-Gentile space lasers?

It's not baffling. He just thinks that laws don't apply to him.

So it'll just continue ...

Well, feeding cattle parts back to cattle causes bovine spongiform encephalopathyl, which is transferable to humans, so does it make cattle unclean too?
