I don't think Trump realizes Ukraine will go it alone if they have to. Trump has never sacrificed anything in his life.

“I know what I mean when I share with you that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said.

I really only have obscenities at this point. Lots of them...maybe all of them.

Imagine being on the YouTube ad team...that has to be the most depressing team in tech history. Your whole existence revolves around peddling ads before people can watch the ads they want.

It is...but they need to highlight it to investors now.

Your relationship with management is always adversarial. They might put sugar and spice on it so you don't see it, but they are not your friend.

You sound like you've never been laid off.

I doubt the core of this is any social awakening...the platforms are simply unusable due to the amount of scams, bots, and spam.

Also, paid models simply won't work in this sector. Attractive people simply don't need the apps.

There was an article earlier about people smoking crack if they thing Trump is up 10 points.

Well...he's up 10 points. The Democrats need to do something fairly drastic soon if they want to win 24.

You MUST DEMAND perfection from self driving cars. Mistakes cost lives.

Fuck this guy.

Using W11 today, that's my first thought too...It's just ad after ad for Microsoft services. You will fucking install O365 or Microsoft will kill a kitten.

That's easy...the US needs to asset imminent domain on starlink. You don't fucking blackmail the government.

CEO regrets her firm was sued...not the fact that she traumatized roughly 300 people clockwork orange style.

others need a bit of distraction like a ping pong table.

That is never the answer. If your business isn't retaining people because the party culture isn't party enough...you've got way bigger problems...and it's probably leadership.

In this case, it's not a lack of engineers. Taiwan leadership burned through their staff too quickly.

I've run into that a lot (mostly with India, but I'd assume it's Eastern society as a whole). Leadership isn't used to being questioned. There's a very clear hierarchy that must be respected at all costs. I think it comes from the caste systems possibly. When US engineers roll in and propose changes, they're dealt with swiftly and brutally.

(If you want to get philosophical about the culture difference, it's why the US comes up with big ideas, and why Asia is so much better at execution).

There's just an expectation that workers march in lockstep to the death, and US workers simply, culturally, are not like that. Especially not when they have valuable skills they can get paid for somewhere else.

Go look at Glassdoor for TSMC, it's not a pretty picture.

The US has enough engineers...no one wants to pay for them or put up with their whining.
