I'm doing my individual part. I think there are enough genuine reformers out there to represent a high single digit percentage of the population.
Then he started an incredibly stupid war in Iraq, which led to the rise of ISIS.
Yeah, but he wasn't the only chef gooning the soup. By which I mean, don't over-credit any one bozo.
launched a war against a sovereign nation thousands of miles away
I guess that's somewhat interesting from a logistical standpoint. And the regional politics of the Great Satan helping out the Saudis have some fun nuance. "Bush believed he was doing the right thing" is probably trivially true, but, again, omits an awful lot of Shiite/Sunni developments.
Which is, again, not meant as anything sort of an apologist play for W. And you can keep the brother, too.
but they likely have better reliability, better bandwidth, better backups, and better security than a "nontechnical" person could provide for themselves.
Another one who doesn't bother to read terms of service.
you mean, like, "doing the spyful?"
I bet it happens more than we want to admit.
Nothing brings a species together like breaking the moon into lots of tiny bits and dropping them on the planet we live on.

no one ever said 'min wage' for h1b.
but its minimum in RELATIVE terms because there's no reason to have to pay local salary rates if you don't have to.
maybe its only 10k less or 5k less but if the workforce is over 50% indian (bay area: its more like 80% or more; wish I was kidding) and a huge percent of those are h1b's, then it adds up.
there are pay windows or ranges and every h1b salary is on the low end of the range. because, "they can" and they do get away with it.
the indentured servant is 100% true; once you are onboard, you are abused, overworked and treated like shit. they know that you are stuck there. they brought you in FOR that reason, mostly.
440hz sounds like a better idea to me, though.
So you're not privvy to what goes on upstairs. Go find somebody in the know, get them drunk, and ask them about massive scaling and Google's patents on map/reduce.
In the meantime this seems like a good idiological fit. The surveillance-funded corporations will be taken care of while the USG destroys the software industry, which is too wildly successful for a completely unregulated market. Nimble big-name companies have already fled or are in the process of fleeing the jurisdiction, leaving work-a-day programmers to manage the leavings or find a different line of work.
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
