Does anyone know how Americans are treated in China?

The MAX will fly predictably, just perhaps in a way that's ultimately different from the NG 737s, maybe it will mean that pilots will need a check out flight instead of a iPad tuto…

Dang, that alternate history fantasy is something the management of Boeing needs to read. That's so spot on - something like that would have changed the skies. Imagine how many sec…

Would Google's market gap go up if they got the contract instead?

I don't want the people who control my wallet to be particularly interested in what I have to say. Just curious, how do you feel about forcing bakers to bake cakes for gay weddings…

It probably has a healthy engineering staff, but as Wall St. sees it, Google could just cut out dev work, scale back to minimal ops and print money the whole way down the death spi…

*new grad level software engineer, new grads in any operational role are earning half as much as an SWE in total compensation.

>The entire "world police" concept is ridiculous and used to mask the true colonialist ambitions the US operates under. Can you provide proof or is this just something you want to …

>So much for privacy/environmental sustainability I guess Do you think Republicans have a mind control ray so powerful it'll convince Cook/Apple to forsake their privacy and enviro…

Violent? Isn't that the sort of concept inflation the alt-right uses to disdain refugees and the ctrl-left uses to disdain gentrifiers?

probably because the US system is set up so workers pay for others benefits? Most of the tax-funded spending goes to people who can't /won't pay for things on their own: those unwi…

Why not put the brain power into devising welfare systems that couldn't be scammed than trying to defeat people who care more about the scamming than the good.

Right, but others are using biological arguments (as well as empirical arguments) to make the case that in a society that's sufficiently gender egalitarian, you wouldn't expect to …

I think it's too expensive to stay at the bleeding edge, but if you pick wisely you can get solid iterations and buy them as 'refurb' which means new and discounted. I haven't been…

Uhhh, yeah if 'spying' means Chinese students, post-docs, and professors participating in the development of technology and sharing the results with Chinese colleagues. As long as …

Sadly, hybrids make sense to the degree that batteries don't. Although an electric motor and its rudimentary cooling system are trivial compared to a combustion engine and it's att…

You don't spend much time around Muslims do you? The lengths they go to make Evangelicals seem sensible. It's not really a Christian thing, Catholics, Amish, and Mormons are pretty…

Being Tesla, I'm sure at least a few dozen units are going to fail but it may translate into a 20-40 additional miles of range without an upgrade on the battery.

The conservative position is probably closer to a call to return old ways, it's not that wed to the status quo.

Get woke go broke.

It seems ill-fitting to say the Washington Post, NYT, and Huffington Post are 'conservative', perhaps it'd be more accurate to say that they're entrenched in the status quo? You ca…

If someone is so nationalist that they make hiring decisions based on the needs of America, it's easy to imagine that they have a preference for citizens or better yet to the natio…

I think we're well aware. Most of the H1-B criticism is about the nature of the visas, not some personal animosity against the visa holders.
