Could be, where you're from. In the US you may need to speak to minorities, people of color, people in the LGBTQ+ communities, or Jewish Americans. Or anyone from a certain number of cities where there has been prominent neo-nazi activ

I'm aware of center-right platforms distinct from nazism, a good bit of our research involves tracking how these various groups cohabitate right-wing spaces (or don't). In this thread I'm referring to neo-nazis in the US -- a

by anarchodev 7y ago
Of course, this is what you thought all along. And it's absolutely not true in the US or Canada. But even in places where there isn't an active sect of actual neo-nazis, there is usually a smattering of violent white supremacist

So in your best-case scenario, all we have to do is wait for the current nazis (many of whom are mid-20's or 30's) to pass away? And I guess until then, just deal with the pain and loss they create? I hope you can understand why

How would people disagreeing with Nazis get rid of them? Does that work with anything else?
6.
by anarchodev 7y ago
That's correct. Simply disagreeing with Nazis is ineffectual and is very common among those with sympathies toward them as a shield from criticism. I'd prefer to work with people who are actively opposed to them. Sorry if that wa

You could register it with a voip number. This doesn't entirely mitigate the problem, but at least you'd have more digital control over what happens to that number (and can pretty much be sure you won't lose it unless you wa

It's really not. This decision is a very personal one unique to each employee. Internal activism can be very effective especially if done in a way that gets more attention among existing employees. On the other hand, this is extremel

yeah I think what people are getting at here is that there's often a large investment to figure out how to use Angular2+ correctly (and even a lot of the concepts from Angular2 have been improved upon with new features in versions 6-8)

The article asserts that if you upload video from Ring devices, it will be seen by amazon employees. This has been shown to be true. Amazon employees are almost all strangers to me. What's the issue with the statement? "Do you wa

Your bargaining position is much better once they've already decided they want to hire you. Talking about salary first lets the company cheap out and only spend that effort on people they are reasonably sure won't ask for what th

I know you're getting a ton of responses, but if you do see this, look up Food Wishes on youtube. Would not be an exaggeration to say it has changed my life. 5-10m videos focused on one dish, usually including quite a bit of context a

In being empathetic to their needs, make sure you're also being "empathetic" to your own needs. This means recognizing that their "need" to get their development work done without spending too much money on you is

I'm sure this is true, but most companies don't want this either. They lose money and waste time when this happens -- if they waited until the end to discuss salary (like they should be). Some companies will try to feel you out fo

I'm not sure I have the knowledge base to fully answer your question but one thing to consider is that no matter where you work, if you dig deep enough you'll probably find something unethical (and some might say if you don't

I'm not sure I understand why you'd advocate specifically building technology that harms those in poverty just because you've experienced it. Did the experience make you resent poor people, or do you just feel that technolog

What is the mis-selling exactly? Doesn't seem to me that they're saying using their VPN will make you impenetrable to dedicated actors with nation-state resources. VPNs do help maintain one small level of privacy (namely from you

Yes, irrelevant details that slipped your mind, and which you most certainly did not just make up to justify your bloodlust. How was a dude who can't even afford to drink indoors able to do infrastructural damage to a parking garage?

Why would you want the cops to be overly aggressive to someone who, even in your hypothetical, hasn't committed a crime? Do you foresee any consequences that might arise from encouraging this behavior from cops towards the most powerle

It's not a stretch. Look at the main contention within the party right now -- every candidate except one is pushing to prop up a for-profit healthcare system. The idea of the ACA was okay, but ultimately it left in place the systems w

We're almost there. In "perfect" capitalism, there would be a very hot market for employees willing to work the graveyard shift, and since there was clearly a need for those workers, they would be paid quite a lot. In realit

It's incredible watching tech people in this thread assert that she wasn't fired for union agitation but if she was, that's okay too because she should have known not to be "inflammatory."

I really appreciate you connecting the struggle of the tech workers in google to those in other industries which don't enjoy a lot of the same freedoms. Understanding of this is severely lacking in tech, and once we develop it I think

For sure, I understand where you're coming from. There are certainly instances of this type of crime that aren't defensible under any pretext rooted in economic oppression. I don't have all the answers, just my perspective. C

Absolutely not. I don't want police anywhere near my community. EDIT: Yeah I don't call the cops. Go ahead and downvote I guess, or feel free to try another hypothetical you came up with in your head for this discussion.
