This is a very ungrateful and childish perspective. It assumes that these things exist out of thin air rather than things google has created. Products don’t just appear, they’re built. Nothing is stopping someone from usurping google. Ever

That’s a horrible conclusion. It’s anti-constitutional and exactly why you have unchecked power now. We have checks and balances. The courts and congress are the safeguards.

Are you trolling? The government is not meant to continue functioning with a mentally inept president. The vice president is supposed to have them removed. The president is elected, not his cabinet. I can’t believe you even said that.

America is a free market who uses its military to keep shipping and global trade free from interference. We deport some illegal immigrants. China is a communist country with real life re-education camps. They manipulate markets and steal in

You’re spot on. There really is no comparison. China has real life re-education camps not make believe ones.

This is the truth. I'm assuming this, like my similar comments, will continue to be downvoted by people who are out of touch with reality.

Accountability is shutting down the agency and shuttering the programs. They did that. The point of a slush fund is that the funds weren't allocated for specific programs by law, they were discretionary. So, while technically not illeg

equity is a post-modern buzzword that doesn't mean anything. it's only applicable in world of fairness which doesn't exist.

Rich countries are not going to subject themselves to austerity so poor countries can catch up and surpass them. Life's not fair, the world will never be fair, and no amount of global-equity-fetishism will every make it fair.

Sorry, I didn't mean to remove regulations. I meant that maybe the regulatory side of the agencies should meet as needed with enforcement being the thing that is perpetual.

by dvdhnt 2y ago
I’d argue the regulatory unit ought to be temporary while enforcement is ongoing. Permanent organizations are just as ineffective. They did nothing to protect our food supply from ingredients banned in other countries. They did nothing to s

While true, the larger the ship, the more difficult it is to turn. I think the idea is that for every salaried individual, you have support staff, equipment, benefits, etc that come along with them. It’s also another cog in the chain of wor

> Abundance and option (rather than bare sustenance) are defining features and goals of a healthy society… Do you have a source for this claim? It’s not something I’ve read or heard in 36 years.

Replies seem to miss your point. No matter how a company hires, some group of people will be upset and complain about it. The real issue is that the company ghosted OP rather than provide feedback and closure. Personally, the more experienc

Personally, I just don't enjoy writing Elm and much prefer TypeScript. For me, TS is great because of the community, tooling, and its self-documenting nature.

Not OP but current employee. They "underpay" compared to Google, etc and compared to the Bay. But Shopify is a Canadian company first (I'm in the US) and they pay me a salary well over the average for my area (double), not mu

This I can understand. But why would someone want to do this? It feels like mental overhead. So what advantages are there to a system like this?

by dvdhnt 5y ago
And that's a company's prerogative. But in the US, that mentality can cause you to miss out on great contributors. For example, if you are building a new e-commerce platform and can hire someone with 1.5 years of experience shippi

I worked for a consultancy when covid started. They decreased salaries in case the economy tanked. They also started recruiting in cheaper places like Colombia. Low and behold, salaries were never brought back to pre-pandemic levels.
