You're underselling the problem which is that they profit off your addiction. Time you could be spending creating art, exercising, or learning a useful skill is instead spent watch…

The average engineer at Boeing makes $120k/year. That's about $50k less than what a new grad with no experience will get from big tech. Boeing doesn't have a culture problem, they …

> errors and unsafe acts will not be punished if the error was unintentional. No sane organization would ever implement this. If someone repeatedly makes mistakes, they're going to…

This is not a gotcha question. It's a smoke test: something that should be really easy to get right. This is like building a calculator that can't get 1+1 correct, and then complai…

> Google doesn't want to offend or be racist This is where you're wrong. A non-trivial percentage of Google's workforce does want to be racist and does want to offend. And despite …

We didn't allow them to do anything. They're just not accountable to us. If you've been following Harvard's anti-Semitism drama over the last 4 months, it appears they're not reall…

No, the page title is "How an African streaming service dethroned Netflix." And that was also the title posted here originally. Also, Showmax most definitely does not have more sub…

That's a much better title than what was posted originally. You should apply for a job as an editor.

If the streaming service isn't even popular enough to refer to it by name, it has not dethroned Netflix.

Personally I find it depressing. He could have retired years ago to work on a passion project. Why is he still dealing with the soul-sucking internal politics of a mega-corp? Unles…

I don't understand the secrecy about firing somehow. If I were an employer, I'd want my remaining employees to know that what the fired person did was unacceptable.

I bet you have a hell of a time trying to buy gas. Do you pick Diesel, 85, 87, or 91?

The only thing I like about it is that it makes it easy to know whether I should care about this person's opinion. Sure enough, the blog post was completely deranged -- to the poin…

I'd guess the majority of pedestrians who are at fault for accidents are vagrants who can't or won't pay for any damage they cause. I don't see well-to-do businessmen jumping into …

I regularly pass people on the right and then cut them off getting back into the left lane just so that I don't have to be stuck behind someone I can't see around. The tinted front…

The end of the article was bizarre. This did not remind me of Trump at all. Most of it is the exact opposite of Trump who is usually criticized for being rash and not picking his w…

Most socialists only hang out with other socialists. This has tricked them into believing capitalism must soon be coming to an end because everybody they know hates it. It's pure d…

What does that have to do with anything? Using Google Ads is not a requirement of having your website be accessible through Google Chrome. It's not analogous to this situation at a…

The recent push to relax education standards in the US is only going to make problems like this worse. For example: https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2023/10/oregon-again-sa... …

Google has a union. It costs thousands of dollars per year to join and primarily focuses on political issues like lobbying management not to pursue contracts with the US military. …

The onion made me watch an unskippable ad before I could watch the video, and then started another ad 30s into the video. Incredible. No wonder they're irrelevant now.

Nice. One step closer to finding the enzyme that gives urine its delicious flavor.

The fact that you think employers are legally required to give in to employee demands is truly bizarre. Even stranger is the fact that you seem to think such a law would be a good …

How could it be illegal to refuse to bargain? If want to sell my piano for $1000, am I legally required to lower the price if someone tries to bargain with me?
