I work at a successful local retailer. I don't shop at Amazon. I don't even have an ID, as shocking as that may be to some people. I fly twice roundtrip every month. They won't get my business. I pay for things with cash.
If you're using "fuck" in any kind of code that isn't related to porn, you've got some serious fucking problems, and should probably find another line of work.
Sounds like some of these contributors are some real anti-social assholes. "Fuck" should never be used professionally. Never. Ever. If they're using "fuck" as in "stay the fuck away from my code", they've got some serious personal/psychological problems, and probably shouldn't be working on a team with other people, anyway.
I'm an ex-IT'er running a business that requires IT work to deal with our mission critical software, and I can't find anybody. I've been through 4 different firms in the past few years, and most of them can't even work professionally (return emails, calls, provide written estimates, etc.).
It's going to be something addictive and exploitative, of course. Something that's going to made pervasive phone/app addiction look tame by comparison.
Nowhere in that article was the incoming president blamed for past deforestation, you thick fuck. That's just you trying to make some stupid, pointless argument about nothing.
We're already at 1-1.2 degrees C since the start of the industrial revolution. None of the countries on the planet are anywhere close to meeting their emissions pledges. We're going to be significantly above 1.5 degrees within a decade, if not sooner. We need to be planning for +8.0 degrees, not 1.5.
When you work for the largest retailer on the planet that has a long history of abusing employees, yes, you are a robot. That's your choice. Work someplace else if you don't like it.
If everybody did that, then Mama Amazon might have to pay people a reasonable amount, treat them like humans, and maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be so goddamned big.
Every credit union is different. I'm a member of four local ones and I move 8 figures worth of money annually through them in one way or another. They have very low fees on regular banking services, great interest rates for borrowing, and they pay a decent amount on savings/money market. One of them is staffed on the phone 24/7, and have tellers available in branches 7:00 AM-7:00 PM 7 days a week. That, and they're non-profits, so I trust them not to try to fuck me over.
I don't trust (or use) commercial banks. Every one that I've tried has been garbage.
I have no reason to trust these start-ups, which I'm sure will be sold as soon as they can to big banks and are selling their "customers"' data all the while.
I'll stick with my trusty, cheap, and very effective local credit unions, thank you.
Why do so few people set up web servers at home? It ain't rocket science. It can be done on *any* computer. Really. Unless you're hosting something really huge or something that gets a huge amount of traffic, just fire up any old PC, install a web server, and you're done. Do your own backups (drag and drop folders, if you're too clueless to schedule something). People used to do it all of the time, back when setting up things like web and FTP servers were more complicated than it is now. It's100% free, and if you're doing something sketchy, you've got 100% control of your own files and your own backups.
Who are these people who think that this is a reasonable tradeoff for a job? There is no job and no amount of money on the planet that's worth it to me to do that for.
If they distribute their movies via Apple gadgets only, I won't have any way of seeing them. I certainly wouldn't buy some Apple gadgets and give them my identity just to watch a movie, no matter how good it is. Same with Amazon. No matter what they put out, I'm not watching. Their loss.
Yeah, it must be tough to make a beam that can be rapidly moved back and forth through space.
The second beam isn't aimed at anything, but can be measured, to determine what happens to the first beam. That's what quantum entanglement is, in a very crude sense.

There's a lot of space between "don't be an asshole" and the project being dead. A whole lot of space.

I thought financial privacy was important to Americans.
Why would you think that? Banks and credit card companies sell all of your information all of the time. It's 100% legal in the US.
I can't believe people who should know better are still using GMail. Real email is literally $1/month.
I don't have to refute anything. The fact do that.
The prick I was replying to is the one spouting unsubstantiated garbage like " The whole "Nixon's Southern Strategy" is a Democrat propaganda lie"
"Red pill"? go back to 4 Chan, you racist troll.

All of the garbage you're spewing is thinly veiled white supremacist propaganda bullshit.

Just about anything that starts with the word "international" is political.
That's a really stupid statement. You're hopeless.

Yes, tectonic plates are still moving. And the seas are rising faster than even in geologic history.
1. Seas are rising.
2. That Wikipedia page doesn't show shit. You can't "plainly" see anything.

Work (AND SHOP!) for/with a different company.

What are you talking about? "Exiting the US banking system"? What does that even mean?
That was a terrible troll. It didn't even make any sense.
