I believe what is being said is that in non-Western/fully isolated nuclear families you have a lot of people and experiences you can rely on. So having a child at a younger age like your mid-20s is not that big of a deal.

The reason people struggle with the idea of 10x programmers is that people are very bad at evaluating the impact of others. Obviously we can all agree on a select few but for those who are just "regular" workers there is often not

FWIW nowhere I've interviewed at has been that silly w/ questions. Generally they're very personable. Except FAANG/fintech companies. So I guess you just have to put up with it if you wish to be maximizing income.

Bezoes received at minimum six figures from his family (at a time where six figures was pretty significant). He is middle class. Also pretending like the barrier of entry into technology _hasn't_ gone up is ignoring the material condit

Sure. Rich is anyone who has wealth in excess of 10M. A "fair share" to start with would be at minimum a 1% wealth tax. Income tax is fairly worthless when it comes to the actually rich.

You are assuming that FAANG companies are offering "fair" compensation for the output of their engineers. How would anyone ever make a profit doing that? Employees are very rarely the exploiters and almost always the exploited.

It is only a "novel" claim in America, where America must be the best of everything.

Fortunately I've done more than five minutes of research on this topic which is why I can see through the propaganda. Your organ claims have been debunked multiple times before (here is one from the WaPo that you will like: https:&#x2

The West has 100% done more "evil" if we're going by "oppression olympics". One can simply look at the violence exported by the respective groups. Also keep in mind how often America lies and sends agents to destabi

I'd recommend reading: https://liberationschool.org/tiananmen-the-massacre-that-was... as well as the WikiLeaks documents and draw your own conclusions. CBS, NYT, and many other American sources all also do not report

Do we know what the Chinese government is doing to ethnic minorities? I've seen enough evidence from both sides to know that it's despicable but that it is also not a genocide. That is where the accusation of "whataboutism&qu

Ultimately there is enough evidence to make a decision already--the case of police brutality is nothing as invisible or insidious as something like the sexual assault or harassment revealed by the #MeToo movement. I am not sure this reposit

Your comment does not directly contradict anything GP says yet your tone makes it seems like it does. If you are not sure what the percentages are your argument adds nothing to the conversation and in facts misleads readers into thinking th

Agreed. While logical fallacies are useful to teach people to avoid critical thinking pitfalls they are not useful to sift through the merits of arguments.

Of course given a large enough sample size process wins out! People's capabilities and knowledge differ. The issue is in determining _what_ good process _is_ given the vast environment that is a globalized economy. That is why socioeco

Demonstrably false considering massive wealth inequality and poverty. It's incredibly harmful and uneducated to hold such a callous opinion. It also goes against the plentiful studies showing that socieconomic status (SES) is more sign

There is also overwhelming pressure on minorities to not only succeed and be perfect but to gain positions of power to make it easier for those that follow. It's incredibly difficult to do that as an IC (for either gender).

Your argument made more sense when it was between two basically identical cultures (America, Canada). How many Americans (who largely only speak English) are going to leave the country to live in another one?

You are essentially arguing for class-based solidarity against the capitalist imperative for oppression and "corruption" in the name of profits. I'm not sure if these are original thoughts or inspired by reading leftist works

From my understanding the primary use of concurrency in Erlang/Elixir is for isolation and operational consistency. Do you believe that not to be the case?
