How do you spend that much on software and have such an abysmal usability and security story? I don't think there is anything technically difficult about the consumer software they offer, namely https://www.bankofamerica.c

Right, which is why our tools all suck.

Oh wow, my bad. Still, I’m not a fan—I don’t trust apple to be a good judge of behavior here.

Nah it’s just harder to fix wages low when you can job hop so easily.

They won’t ever “budge” all the way up to your actual worth though, you just went from 10% of your worth to 12%.

This is a critical component of manufacturing consent. It ain’t just the right, the center have their own propaganda-like think tanks that work closely with the DNC. But, we are in a post-fact era. Expect this to get much worse.

Look at the D5 race. All the candidates are pro development, the discussion is about to what extent this should happen via mixed rate units vs market rate. As for what people want... is there any good way to be run out of town because you d

Or we could just prosecute App Store monopolies. Nobody should ever have to go through google, or apple, or Microsoft, or Facebook, or amazon to publish software. The point of software is to be portable. I’m sick of buying artificially crip
