> lack of internal comments

What do you mean by this? There's a section to comment in each card/epic/milestone and you can ping team members. Comments also sync with slack so you can get notifications there if you'd like. I don't have a ton of JIRA knowledge, so there's a chance I'm missing something.

I don't remember ever hearing this, and a quick google search comes up empty. Skeptical about this claim.

If I commissioned Adobe Software to write a program, from scratch, that I specifically state I will own all rights to the program and source code itself, then I would fully expect to license it how I want.

We are not talking about a single consumer. We are talking about the state itself. They will get the license they want if they believe it is needed.

To get from point A to point B without walking half a mile and waiting 10 minutes for a bus to go a quarter the speed to a stop half a mile from your destination. I'm sure a lot of people want a car so they don't have to expose their groceries or small children to the disgusting mess that is public transportation in the vast majority of (American) cities.

There are maybe 2 or 3 cities in the entire United States that are dense enough with good enough public transportation. The vast majority of the population cannot relate.

I think I've heard of this separate but equal idea before. Can't quite remember, but I don't think it worked out too well.

>What's underdressing when it comes to such a startup interview?

Flip-flops, jorts, and a cutoff tee that says "GTL" in a neon font of your choice.

I've never heard of that before. Many homeschooled kids I knew were very smart, but definitely lacked social skills. I've never heard of them having FAR worse educations, especially compared to bad public schools. "Really poor public schools" are an incredibly low bar.

Socialization is a hard problem to fix. I know they try with after school sports/activities/clubs, but that's not quite the same as being around peers for 8+ hours a day. In non-homeschool, the children are around other children more than adults/parents.

Well, why didn't my family think of packing up our bags and moving halfway across the world for my education? Interesting lil hack

There doesn't seem to be a point to start paying for it, and the time to stop paying for it seems mighty early

Ahhh! I appreciate the tip. Still getting used to the UI

Your comment is so heavily downvoted I literally can't read it. Never seen that before

Me having two children are not destined to be "burdens to society in need (sic?) for a longer period than people you can bring from outside". That is certainly not guaranteed. I'm not sure it's even statistically more likely than not. So I'm very hesitant to take that as gospel.

And my personal beliefs about life and what it means to be human in my very finite time here goes far beyond "well the economics work out better if I'm barren forever and the government imports immigrants with higher birth rates due to being from a third world country". I strive to have a complete, well rounded life with a loving family. At the end of the day, my life goal is not to live an " economically logical" life void of emotions. I have 90 years here, if I'm lucky. I AM going to live a full life.

There is nothing wrong with immigration, but the fact of the matter is you can't strip all emotion out of the equation. You can say its overly emotional to want your own family instead of importing people with completely different cultures and values, but the drive to reproduce has been in the works for 3.5 billion years. Having others reproduce for you so the government can get an extra dollar out of isn't enough of an incentive to kick the repro drive.

>But my guess is that you take issue more with their skin color

Lol, I feel like having a family is way too expensive and disagree that importing replacements is the only way to go. Giving birth shouldn't bankrupt you, and that has to be a huge reason young people (including me and my friends) are pushing off having children. Combine that with the overwhelming student debt crisis, I don't feel I can take on a child. So it seems weird that the solution is "screw them, just import the people we need".

But sure, make it about me being "racist" so you can imagine yourself as a big warrior fighting off bigots online.

Yes, lets bring in loads of uneducated, poor immigrants instead of addressing the issues causing fertility rates below the replacement level. Why let our children have families when we can import them for cheaper?

Eggs last a deceptively long time. I've had eggs for a month after the expiration date. I always do the "sink or float" test and then make sure they don't smell like sulfur once I crack them

Agreed, same with my current workplace. Big open office with enough space and its amazing. I wouldn't trade this to go sit in a grey cubicle for anything. But that picture from the article looks like a nightmare, so I get why people complain about that situation.

Open offices have a ton of variation and they can be nice, but can also suck. It's all about the implementation.

Has the product not been thin enough to easily hold one handed for years? We're talking about shaving millimeters off a 1.5 cm thick product. Not inches off something a foot thick

> College football is not a quality product

The multi-billions of dollars spent on it begs to differ. Just because they aren't old (are 22 year olds really too young for athletics?) doesn't mean it is a bad product. Many consider it to be a much more exciting game opposed to the 7-3 games the NFL puts out.

I'd rather watch a 49-21 game than a 14-6 snoozefest.

This is really your personal opinion.

That may be what its like in social media, but IRL really doesn't seem to care that much. At least in my cushy midwestern city.

A broken promise was still a promise at one point.

Yes, it is. Is it really that insane that doing a job a monkey could do shouldn't be paid the same as jobs that require actual skill?

Why can't that be a job you do on the side for a little extra cash on the weekends? Why does every job need to provide a "living wage"?

That's so true. Once I heard "Jocks are dumb" and was outraged at the dehumanization going on. Like, excuse me, they are people too.

More and more of my google searches are being appended by "reddit". Someone's asked it before and it takes half a second to load/skip for it. It's sad, but effective
