Are you hiring engineering interns?

Why do these multimillion dollar companies have such shitty diagrams?

*edit: shitty as in pixelated; not the content

> I wouldn’t, but that’s because of something deeper than anything we experience in America or Australia.

I'm sick of this holier than thou attitude that people have here. There's this patronizing attitude that if only the brain washed Chinese knew what was really happening they would rise up! Yet you know about the Nayirah testimony, MKUltra, Snowden, Cambridge Analytica, migrant camps... why aren't you out protesting, storming congress, why isn't Bush in prison, why isn't Trump impeached? It's not a "small minority"; it's the majority. Most Americans don't care enough to find out and if they did they wouldn't care enough to do anything.

I'd argue that the propaganda is much deeper and subtle in the West. The media is a oligarchy yet it's still "independent" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWLjYJ4BzvI You believe are the good guys despite history despite everything.

This is literally in the second sentence of the article

do you mind talking a bit about how you got into the field?

Twitter is definitely not a good platform for something like this

I agree, I think that it should have been decriminalized instead (similar to how it is in Portugal).
> but there has to be some form of normalization for students whose parents/culture/childhood environment didn't value education

You can't possible judge that unless you resort to stereotypes. How do you tell an Asian/Jewish student whose parents didn't put immense value on their education to one that did. You simply can't without making sweeping generalizations based on someone's appearance.

I always thought of "UW" as the university of waterloo
I'm surprised this worked. I would have assumed he had adblock of some sort.

There seems to be several spelling errors. I glanced over the page and also found these:

formated - formatted loose - lose (in the bottom images)

Yeah I tested a few images and it seems pretty accurate in detecting race/ethnicity. I wonder where they collected all of the insults from.
Does this thing detect ethnicity? Because the roasts were on point.
Re:Is Your English Accent British or American? on Sunday January 14, 2018 @12:24AM (#16142939)
This isn't very accurate. I'm Canadian (I sound American) but this thing is claiming my accent is 80% British.
