    This is very cool and I'm glad you were able to build it. On the contrary though, I've been fascinated with simple non-technical solutions to problems lately. For example, my buddy…

    Google is certainly a monopoly in several sectors, search and YouTube come to mind. Amazon is a duopoly with Walmart and both need to be dismantled, but the damage to main street w…

    >It's a good pay job (comparing to other NKs) and they get to do what they love, so they are pretty loyal. I would imagine the state takes the vast majority of their pay.

    He was virtue signaling. It's sadly all too common these days. As if he or any human isn't capable of horrible atrocities given the right circumstances. Don't let him or anyone sti…

    Stick at it for at least 2 years, keep improving, it will get better. I got a BigCo on my resume early on and I'm glad I got it, but I don't particularly care for BigCos; all the f…

    This isn't sales tax, this is tariff. Not sure if they are any laws regarding that or not. It might be like shipping and handling: $20. The shipping is probably $5, the handling is…
