To start off, I believe that those photos are not fake. But let's say someone says they don't know if the photo is a fake. How would you show that the photo is not a fake? For this question, I wonder if eventually the…
umm... hello. why did you repeat my comment?
Well, did you personally prove that the earth is round? I suspect that most of round-earthers didn't prove it themselves as well. The problem is infeasiblity; it's infeasible for a regular person to confirm most of the…
> If you don't have a hard commitment like that, companies would typically prefer to just hire you full-time. I don't think this is true. The bar for hiring an intern is often lower.
There are a few things with this: 1. That could be true in only some areas. I doubt it's true for the technology sector where there are a lot of players competing. 2. Companies are already trying to pay as low as…
Come on. It IS socially mandatory. People are harassed for not tipping. People look down on you for not tipping. Even, for bad service, we still have to tip.
Actually, Google's offer is lower than Twitter's for the same level. I suspect that this is true for Google vs. any other sort-of-profitable public mid-size tech. My best guess for lower pay is that Google banks on its…
That statement doesn't seem fair though. If you goal is to own a home in Los Altos or Palo Alto, then even senior engineers are struggling. The real problem is the supply and attitude: * There are like tens of thousands…
It seems very dumb to stop paying federal workers when government shutdowns. This is a perfect way to squeeze senates whose most fanbase consists of federal workers. I don't really understand what stops government from…
Tbh, the way Jack told the story makes him sound ignorant. His tone sounded like he wanted to make fun of Zuckerberg. Wanting to learn and experience where food comes from end-to-end sounds respectable. I fail to see…
I feel this will end badly. People are screaming at Facebook/Twitter/and whatever to ban fake news from their platforms. They want to ban it so much that they are willing to give the power of deciding which news is fake…
The media really has it out for Facebook after Facebook decided to reduce page reach. It seemed like Facebook can't do anything right. The '10 year challenge' is a good feature. Some people enjoyed it. It created joy…
I worked in a company where micro services succeed. To succeed, the ratio has to make sense. We had more than 2,000 engineers with fewer than a few hundred services. So, of course, it made perfect sense. I've also seen…
I don't think it's a dead philosophy. I personally prefer one-handed phone. We instead should adjust the UI to make it more comfortable with one hand (as in using thumb to navigate comfortably). But, like you said, none…
I used to think that Flat earthers and anti-vaxxers were really weird until I encountered the situation where AQI was bad in Seattle. It was around 170 AQI that day. Less than 30% of people on the street wore masks.…
I'm really bored at this Myanmar narrative. Let's get this straight: The Myanmar government and the majority (probably) of Myanmar people hate Rohingya. There's no way Facebook can prevent the violence. And It's just…
We will see less and less devs coming out in the open like this, and that's sad. The dev isn't without a fault though. The statement around using old browsers is like not vaccinated is too offensive. Especially, when…
> Many people follow supposedly "violent" religions peacefully alongside other faiths. This is what I originally meant. I think you understand. We might use different words for the same thing here. Christian people in…
Just to clarify: by accepting it, I mean "not practicing it, but be okay with the fact that the person next to you is practicing it."
My use of English isn't very good, I apologize. Let me give a thought experiment. Let's say: one religion believes that the person who leaves that religion should be killed Should I be ok with the person with this…
Yes, and many several Christian churches have strange beliefs and practices. Scientology is a prime example. And I apologize about the inaccuracy on the Pope leading all Christianity.
I can understand your point. My point is that "accepting all faiths" has gone too far. > It's better to let people have the freedom to make their own choices. But accepting the people's choices without examining the…
I apologize for the inaccuracy. But I hope my point of "blindly" accepting all faiths is understood.
I'm not supporting China here, but the ideology "accepting all faith" is strange and, maybe, dangerous. Bible contains some cruel stories. But Christianity has a leader, which is Pope, who has ties with modern world and…
I'm not defending this startup specifically. But, in general, I dislike this attitude because: The first point is that it wastes everybody's time. This also applies when a recruiter letting us know the interview result.…
