> longstanding inequities in Silicon Valley recruitment and hiring Maybe for intern postions or higher positions, but for regular software developer positions "longstanding inequit…

There's a risk of considering oneself better than average and that aggregate statistics don't apply to you. Like most drivers consider them better drivers than average. I'd bet the…

Curious if you have example of racist US visa/immigration policy? There's a lot deserved criticism of current system, but can't think of anything specifically racist.

That's sound awesome. What's the name of the island/camp? Writing from the Nickerson state park at Cape Cod which is also one of great parks with prestine lakes (and cheap for MA r…

My experience is only with using skateboards for long distance, though similar should apply for scooters, but haven't tried. If I haven't rode both bicycle and skateboards for dist…

Overall it's questionable on muscle efficiency. The main problem with scooters/skateboards is that beginners don't learn using second leg (it feels unnatural and takes practice). T…

I think more people are familiar with riding bycicle and thus it maybe easier for them to go longer distance. But yeah scooter would be smaller and lighter,even electric powered on…

The main goal of this action is sound - cut off Russian economy from outside and it achieves it. There're undesirable side effects that you listed, but the main objective is still …

why would USA be secret about supporting Ukraine? USA was one of the countries guaranteeing Ukraine's safety in exchange for nuclear weapons release. I would argue USA is not doing…

I'm well aware of political situation in Ukraine. I took part in the protests of 2004 that led to "US-backed putsch", had nothing to do with USA. You're stripping Ukrainian people …

Thanks for pointing, didn't realize that.

> Completely one-sided coverage I'm not sure what else you expected, it's completely one-sided issue - one side started and continues the war. One side can stop this war at any tim…

The statements you make don't pass basic sniff test. America training anti-russian militias in Kharhiv, would be like Russia training anti-american militas in Toronto. Did America …

> Kharkiv and Mariupol, which have shown to be 2 of the largest bases for the neo-nazi and far-right militia recruitment in Ukraine. What are you talking about? Kharkiv and Mariupo…

Massachusetts is trying to force Boston suburbs to lift single family restrictions. Great intention, though i have feeling each town is going to fight for years against it. https:/…

yeah i guess it's just feels like 10x when I ride on skateboard on bike path and cyclist zoom by. You're righht on special skateboards, I have couple long distancne boards and they…

Interesting that cycling 24h record 900km is less than 2x of skateboard record 313m/503km. From my amateur experience with both, would expect cycling to be 5x-10x of skateboarding.…

Employment based (EB2) and i know many people who's process took similar ~1.5 year plus/minus couple month. Though that's been about 5 years ago, haven't kept up since going thru i…

that's only the case if company intentionally delays application process for green card, which usually takes 1.5 year (unless applicant is form the country that hit the per-country…

From my own experience as student, having only final test matter, removes the motivation for doing work during the semester and only preping last month/weeks before the test. Which…

EUC are good alternative to bicycles for commuting (or recreation). They're a bit heavy to carry, but can be rolled using handle like a travel bag with wheels. Be aware of safety, …

Different design, but in the same spirit there's company in upstate NY doing railbike tours https://www.revrail.com/

I started skateboarding last year (mid 30s) and it's been a blast. Surprisingly (to me) its very diverse, very different board/styles that enable very different activities: skatebo…

I've never been religious but for 30+ years I always considered myself christian. If asked on such survey, I'd answer with the church I used to go twice a year for Christmas and Ea…
