And yet you stand in a 1 KM queue to get a visa to the "west". :P

Its not an unpopular opinion in my book. The first sentence, especially the "it might be harder if you have a family to feed", is distressing. If an average developer salary is not enough to do that, then, what are the jobs that D

I am not in the US. But your point is actually in support of my last sentence :). Of course, I do agree that there are a bunch of worse work environments.

His work wasn't objectively easier - he worked hard but on his own schedule. To be fair, I am measuring quality of life by what's important to me (rather than any standard metric), but there is a fair bit of overlap. The only weak

You need a bit of perspective. The last part of your sentence hasn't been true in our country in the last 50 years. Working 3 jobs like a robot isn't what I consider high standard of living.

My grandfather who was born in a poor country and was a farmer through out his life had a better life than these employees. Its a shame that decades (or should I say centuries) of productivity increases in US haven't trickled down in o

Yes, it is a new problem when you take into account scale, cost and targeting. Traditional media couldn't target audiences at the granularity Facebook can. And running propaganda via newspapers or TV channels was limited to national bo

I am assuming this is a joke, but if it isn't, then guess which countries have/don't have the manpower to be thrown at killbots :P

Okay - Without understanding a specific tech, would it be possible to defend against it? And subversion may not be possible against certain countries. I would rather have these type of weapons developed by countries ruled by democracy.

What credibility has Amazon got? (The Amazon experience is typically good for a customer, but bad for an employee. My question is in that context.)

Consider the statement "Autonomous weapons are inevitable" carefully. What it means is, any state actor can potentially invest in tech to develop these type of weapons and succeed in a few years. In other words autonomous weapons

Again, my point is that, if an authoritarian government has the power to silence a person, then they certainly have the power to make a person say what it wants them to say. (Not directly related, but "confessions" are fairly comm

Well, my point isn't really about whether I care or not. Any rational actor wouldn't give any weightage to celebrities supporting an authoritarian regime, simply because they don't have any other options. (The "option&qu

Agree that there is no need for CCP to coerce celebrities. But, help me understand, why should we give a rat's ass about what those celebrities say in favor of CCP policies, given that their only options are (1) Keep quiet (2) Endorse.

Do they have any other option other than "support" Xinjiang cotton? The only other option Dilraba possibly would've had is "re-education."

I agree with the above comment and disagree with posters saying that the OP will struggle in a FANG. (They may indeed struggle, but that is not a certainty ;) Answering interview questions correctly within a short time frame is the hardest

"So is there a court that can take the arguments from the scholar on behalf of the people, and the arguments from the military, and make a ruling?" NO. They wouldn't be in the current situation if they had strong functioning

If those are your reasons then realistically I don't think you'll be happy with relocation to anywhere on Earth. The best you could do is to get a short term visa to a country with a different culture - enjoy the first few months,

Are you saying that the demand for developers is greater than the supply ? Where exactly? Bonus Answer: Some of us live in countries we want to get the fuck out of :( I am actively trying to relocate, and found this site useful. Existing si
