I seriously have no idea what you are talking about. Might be an american interpretation that you see between the lines. I have literally no idea why any of these would be considered offensive? Blunt and direct sure ...but offensive? Does n

Can confirm. Eastern european here. America refers to the US of A. If we want to be explicit about the other america we say South America.

You will get downvoted to hell for this but this is a sad reality. Most people dont realize that open source is unsustainable. Only the big and strong (the megacorps) will be able to outcompete everyone by providing complex stuff for free.

If they can do it and succeed the Valley is in serious trouble and it's the same if they fail.

The problem is the delusion in the valley. Not everything is a tech problem and not everyone is a tech company. I am sorry but Uber is just a glorified taxi middleman and I have seen a good enough alternatives in some local markets that ble

If computers get significantly faster then no...but at this point I always reach for a native application if I have the choice. The only non-native app I dont detest that much is VS Code but it still feels painfully slow compared to somethi

As someone who is not an american nor a chinese nor from a big European nation this is all frightening to watch. It's an invisible war of nations and we dont really have a clue about allegiances nor what is right or wrong. Sure as a eu

If only Linux had as nice and frictionless experience as Windows or Mac. Linux on desktop is somewhat bearable with the right distro but on a laptop it's a big no no (terrible battery life etc).

Mac for laptop. Windows / Linux for desktop.

This is one of the most passive offensive responses I have read on this website. It adds nothing of value and helps no one. Not even you as the author of the comment. Becoming the 10x engineer everyone dreams of is one thing but definitely

Are you interested in moving to RoK? Either way expect salaries at around 50-60k so not that cheap. And also the talent pool is rather small. The English proficiency is almost non existent.

Well not even Samsung can do proper SW engineering (it's an insanely failed side of Samsung and yeah it's that bad) and they can pay top dollar. Koreans just cant really do b2c products that well that are not hardware.

I always thought about more of a hybrid model for the US. Something like a market socialism a la Singapore. I would try to commoditize housing,healthcare and food. It would be essential to make sure that these fundamental needs of people wo

Can you point me to a study other than the one in Seattle? I have only read about Seattle but have not really researched it thoroughly.

Well this is actually one of the biggest issues in Eastern Europe. The belief the state should take care of its citizens ( the safety net you are talking about ). The truth is only populist crooks get elected and only come up with shortsigh
