The people running those shops and working for those shops tend to be middle class. People have less purchasing power since they all closed in favor of online retailers, that's an objective fact you can look up (e.g. the labor market is much slower to react to things like inflation when it's labor vs large corporations than it is when it is labor vs small shops.) Large corporations are better at negotiating deals which favor them.
Taxing online retailers == more local shops open up == less megacorps == more spending power for the middle class. No matter what side of the political spectrum you fall on, unless you're Bezos, this is something you should be cheering for to apply to both sellers AND buyers.
I don't want conservative shows, I certainly don't want liberal extremism. I watch stupid shit on Netflix, Amazon, etc (basically, anything I watch on Netflix, Amazon, etc - not trying to suggest an entertainer is capable of being more than an entertainer by any means) for the amusement of it. The moment it gets preachy it's just obnoxious. It's like the fucking court jester acting like he's a king - that shit would have gotten them beheaded in the past. This isn't to advocate for reality TV or similarly dull nonsense either, I'm a nerd and I like sci-fi/fantasy the most, but when every fucking episode or every major theme is some politicized bullshit that is such fucking garbage it doesn't even make sense after a year worth of hindsight it's terrible. Even from the perspective of an intelligent show of any kind - if the writers were remotely intelligent they would understand the concept of moderation - if they have some burning message they must get out then by all means, stick it in the show - the WHOLE show, over all half-dozen seasons. If they have more than one such message then they can fuck themselves because you can't get that preachy without making things remotely viewable. Even The 100's singular message of "people are equal and tribalism is dumb" gets old when they preach about being sick of caring about "my people" or "our people" or "their people" - if it weren't of reasonable quality otherwise or if it had any more messages mixed in it would be utterly unwatchable.
The same goes for developers who have never managed anything, believe me.
This is a thing a lot of people miss, a leader who believes they're a manger is every bit as shit as a manager who believes they're a leader. In the case of a manager attempting to lead it might even be easier to stop them from damaging things because nobody takes them seriously, while in the case of a leader attempting to manage they will be able to actually sway people and completely miss every target be it abstract or refined. The two types of thinking simply don't cohabitate in the same mind at the same time (though the illusion that they do/can is often there for the person attempting it.)
The most productive development shops I've ever worked at had managers who couldn't read a line of code and didn't attempt anything remotely agile-like, or care about the certifications.
Much like programming, doing agile right requires above-average intelligence, specifically in one's ability to think abstractly and understand the process deeply.
Management and leadership styles need to depend on your team, if you use agile/scrum/kanban/etc it means you are trying to make up for shitty management skills, and in turn are making everyone else waste 10-30% (50%-75% in extreme cases) of their time to make up for it. There is no one management or leadership style (two VERY different things, mind you) to bind them all.
Managers are glorified communal secretaries, they exist to arrange meetings, sit between upper management/clients and developers, and ensure the developers have the appropriate resources while having out extraordinarily high-level orders (e.g. "we have a new project, figure it out,") they don't make decisions but ask for input from all parties involved and arrange the information such that people who make decisions can make them quickly and accurately.
Leaders are just the most applicable guy for a given project the others will listen to, they're in the trenches do the work and can (often should) change from project to project both due to differing skillsets and to prevent burnout of the leader.
Nearly every shit place has the same problem, and it has nothing to do with Agile/Scrum/etc - the shit problem is when you have a person who thinks they are capable of both leading and managing at the same time - nobody is.
That's literally every game, it's only since the numale-filled-raging-femenist-generation-of-zealous-millenial-idiots went through college that people seem to think that's some new thing (or took anything seriously anyway.)
That's an emotionally-satisfying response, perhaps, but it's obviously not true. If you can't come up with a long list of things that were invented in Silicon Valley, you either haven't been paying attention or you have some powerful confirmation bias going on.
How about you come up with one which isn't in the groups I mentioned?
They don't invent shit, they didn't even contribute anything to the development of the internet after it was created beyond invasive advertising, spyware, and a host of idiotic JavaScript frameworks/anti-patterns.
Difference between your description and reality is that the multiverse explanation removes all paradoxes from the quantum and relativistic worlds at all scales, while every other potential resolution fails to do so and usually create additional ones. That fact alone makes the multiverse interpretation the only plausible solution at this point in time.
Nope, the multiverse is most likely correct. The big bang never stopped, it just went interdimensional and time itself is an illusion caused by the patterns which emerge when tracing a path along one of all potential possibilities. The interference pattern and statistical interpretation of it is just the probability that a particle you observe on your worldline goes in a particular direction at a particular velocity, but all of those possibilities are traced out on different worldlines. There's a reality where you're a supervillan and a reality where you're the richest person in the world, and then there's most realities where you're neither - each of those realities are practically infinite and expanding forward and backward in time in their derivations, but the likelihood you perceive one of the abnormal ones is significantly reduced. You probably can't picture yourself as a serial killer or helping people to the point you are literally made into a saint, but both exist somewhere in the multiverse. All your choices are irrelevant because they all happen.
The issue is that the brain isn't functional in nature - it's on the fuzzy logic side of things. You can pick a piece out of it and optimize the fuck out of it to get good CV, but the intellect of the system comes from the mass of parallel processing. You can simulate that with a faster clock speed and less actual nodes, but then you need enormous amounts of memory to cache everything (and you're already talking about PB of memory just for the operation of individual neurons, it goes up exponentially when you try to turn it from a parallel to a sequential process.)

They need to focus on quality content and not just throw money at every liberal extremist with a bad idea for a movie or show.
So what you're saying is you can't think of a single thing?
He admits he rigged his investigation under the assumption Hillary would win.
Stock up on gas masks and guns while you still can.
One size has never fit all and the idea it can has caused nearly every issue in the world.

Thanks man, haven't had a good laugh in awhile.

it attacts the worst people ever.

The cities are overwhelmingly liberal cesspools and they want to cut their dependence upon actual people.
They don't invent shit, they didn't even contribute anything to the development of the internet after it was created beyond invasive advertising, spyware, and a host of idiotic JavaScript frameworks/anti-patterns.
You're full of shit, because you fully fit the definition of a shill whether you're paid or not.

Dark matter is the shadow of mass from a colliding parallel universe.
Look up the word, go ahead.
So we do have free will after all.

Shills don't exist to trigger, most aren't even aware they're being used.

That must be one Hell of a wasteful organization you have.
A simple Google search would show you're an ignorant moron.
