Kicking them out might not mean instant homelessness, they can get a job before leaving the house, crash on a friends couch. However they're at a much greater risk of becoming homeless.

It's not that hard to understand. A lot of people on Hacker News gets extremely upset when some site or institution decides to censor genocide advocacy, racism, or anything at all.

Funny thing: I've also heard the opposite complaint from a lot of people! But it's true, most people really go to Tinder expecting only dating and one night stands. However, when you're upfront and tell guys you want to settl

Regarding #1 and #2, I think it's even worse: there are lots of "auto swipe" apps that swipe right on everyone. It's a common hack for guys to buy Tinder Premium, swipe right on everyone in sight and then choose from the

Funny thing is, asking twice a day doesn't even make sense for the manager... Of course, it relieves stress and stuff, but if you're THAT stressed because of the project and need constant reassurance from the engineers, you'r

It's alright. I had great experiences with pairing when it wasn't forced on me and I had autonomy.

IME anyone is able to pair, given the right conditions and being paired with the right person. However, it's like therapy: being forced to do it instead of doing it by yourself will result in a terrible experience.

I've been in such a team. Pairing was optional, but the team chose to do it, so everyone on the team had to do it. It wasn't "forced" because I "always had the option to quit the job". It was hell.

I had all three of the things you described. But let me add a new one to the list that was incredibly frustrating: 4. Instead of integration tests (or static typing), all systems made by a couple programmers only had unit tests. The call bo

That's funny, because the only political video recommendations I get are right wing videos, despite actively avoiding them for years. I guess when it comes to politics the Youtube algorithm just shows whatever the user doesn't wan

I completely agree with the code coverage part. A previous codebase I worked in was terrible to refactor because of the insane amount of tautological unit tests and abuse of mocking. For new features we stopped writing tests that were too s

But we do have our "toilet paper made from virgin pulp". In fact, I'd wager that it's better than other countries I lived in. ;) Brazil already have a rich and sustainable wood industry for decades. Extraction mostly in

It won't happen because Bolsonaro is too cozy with the US government, both have the same anti-leftist "own them libs" political leaning. Who's going to do it? Europe? Asia?

by nfrbc 7y ago
Indeed. It's probably going to be even worse for the poor in the affected area from now on. Illegal wood extraction doesn't only kill trees. Those criminals have historically killed citizens in order to prevent being caught.

I agree with everything you said. Bolsonaro is not claiming the forest for Brazilians. He's claiming it for his party and his allies, and for criminals that have been taking advantage of that. The poor from Brazil don't stand to g

> choice is development or preserving the rainforest That's a false dilemma, though. There is nothing preventing us Brazilians from choosing both things, apart from wacko politicians.

Bolsonaro is only doing that in order to spite the left. If leftists took the public position of wanting to destroy the Amazon he would be doing everything in his power to preserve it. That's the world we live in today.
