You mean why isn’t there a cheaper tier than $5/mo? Not much to be gained by offering it, I would think.

What I never understand with these enormous projects is what proportion is consultancy waste/profit, and what proportion is "genuinely, this is a very large software project". IT p…

Maybe a different genre would grip you more? Crime?

Price, depending on how far away you live.

Yes I'm with you culturally speaking (British). I suppose the difference I see here is this is a forum for the exchange of ideas, not a social space where there are other, more imp…

Well you wrote "forum/discussion". My apologies for not quoting you verbatim. And I am not advocating for anything. I am pointing out the contradiction of the proposal to ban polit…

The guidelines do not say "do not discuss politics". They say no political or ideological battles. And no-one is talking about inserting politics into every discussion. You have no…

> If there's a group to discuss ice cream, but they keep talking about Trump, it's not a "political act" to say "hey guys, aren't we here for ice cream?" Depends who is selling the…

You're right about neutral/hopeless. I meant "happy" in the sense of "OK with / resigned to let exist". Not necessarily "this is great". The meat-eating morality point I think is a…

No, the parallel would be an atheist saying "I don't want anyone in this room to mention God".

Telling people not to be political is a political act – specifically, one that accepts whatever comes, doesn't care about power, is happy with whoever rules whom and how justly. Th…

"Something went wrong." Long X posts seem to be totally inaccessible if you're not an X user.

You phrase this as if it’s absurd. Why should it be possible to offshore your future capital gains without paying an exit tax? You live in a country with a tax system that assumes …

The ranking isn’t published by the newspaper - it’s by the research and insights B2B company of the overall group. Regardless of what assumptions you have about the newspaper (elit…

The downvoters are welcome to offer actual counterarguments.

But the parent point was that no British media could be critical of government policy. Picking an example that isn’t, on one area, doesn’t prove their point. [Edit] Granted though,…

Trivially true I suppose, but it doesn’t make my point irrelevant - do you think Britain is equivalent to China and Russia? If everyone does but us then yes my goodness they’ve don…

Why is it funny? You think British media can’t be critical of the British government? They are famously merciless. Also, the economist is majority foreign owned, so try doing more …

If you think Britain and Russia or China are equivalent in terms of government overreach, you need to find new sources of information.

They’re talking about British hate speech laws. They think other countries have universal free speech and they absolutely do not, but for some reason they think Britain goes too fa…

Not sure we think of Banksy as being particularly subtle. Innovative and impactful, sure - but the message is usually quite clear, no?

It’s a peer reviewed study in one of the world’s top science journals. It’s not some random person on a podcast.

A lot of engineers find it difficult to conceive of product and design (and marketing, and management…) as actual skilled work. It’s all con artistry orbiting engineering.

Skills frameworks are great. Your mentee can rate themselves at different levels across different competencies. You can have a discussion about where you see them differently on an…

Ok great. I would frame your product in those terms. It’s not an abstract feature - it’s an improvement on job boards! Sounds like a promising idea.
