    I don't even want to work, but unfortunately food and shelter cost money. It's all a trade-off. Don't be a founder, but then you have to put up with crazy company politics, feeling…

    I think they removed that before going on their woke crusade, because they figured it is actually too vague. Different people consider different things evil. But for individuals, I…

    But not "woke" activists, presumably.

    Maybe your son would like a job board for jobs from woke companies instead.

    I don't want to work in a job were activists can cancel me any time because I am a white heterosexual male. For example since they fired James Damore, I would never consider a job …

    That's not implied by the existence of a special interest job board. Many companies engage in woke politics and activism. How would you go about filtering them out on all the other…

    Why on earth should it not be OK for black people to use the service? And what is so "white" about it? Because black people are supposed to be activists and believe in identity pol…

    Ironic, as that is exactly what the unwoke people think about the woke people. They see it as an ideology that you have to "take the knee" to, a ka "follow orders", to be accepted …

    People simply prefer to work for companies that are not evil. That's not "doing nothing", that's voting with their feet.

    Same here, I just don't trust them enough to build on their API anymore.

    Maybe some people (how many?) fail because of anxiety, but on the other hand, anybody who doesn't fail certainly has proven some minimal coding skills? I usually took it as a posit…

    I procrastinated switching to CSS sprites until HTTP/2 came around and made it superfluous, so I don't agree.

    Just because somebody is rich, doesn't imply there are many resources. It's just a debt owed by society, which can also go bankrupt. Jeff Bezos earning another Billion does not imp…

    You can use the internet for two more years to learn, THEN go into the wilderness. I would even allow you to take some tools from industrialization, maybe a knife made from steel a…

    Very few people can afford to pay other people a living wage. What's your point? You only exhibit the socialist magic thinking again As if there are infinite resources, and the onl…

    i say that "living wage" nonsense is hate speech. You are not just saying "oh those businesses can't afford to pay a living wage", you are saying they are greedy and make people po…

    And why would you say that is the case? Bad personal finance skills (high mortgage, student debt...)? How many people even try to negotiate their work hours? I'd believe you if you…

    We won't die because of that - pollution has gone down anyway, whether climate change will really become catastrophic has yet to be seen. But even if you believe it will - what's t…

    They can afford to take a long holiday at the very least. Compared to other workers, certainly. Or maybe they prefer to live in expensive housing instead of paying for spare time. …

    "In Demand" as in "can't find as many people as you want to fill the jobs". Unskilled work usually doesn't fall in that category.

    It's a completely backwards way of thinking. A "business" or "entity" can afford to pay x for service y. If x is too low for you, don't take the job. That's it. It's pure fantasy t…
