Loud does not equal intelligible
Try telling that to the English speaker on vacation abroad.
At least records like this. We have more than doubled the world population in the past 50 years (3.9 billion additions). China and India alone have contributed 1.45 billion of that (over 1/3), and China just removed the 2-child limit. What do we expect? It takes a lot more spewing of CO2 to sustain a doubling of the population.
Uncontrolled population growth would be bad but for CO2 maybe per capita emissions are relevant. Also so many of the world's manufactured goods come from China, we're effectively off-shoring our carbon emissions to there.
I worked for one such big tech that never paid a penny for the software it used and never contributed time or money to open source projects.
When it comes to freakouts from the far-left, it's not just simple, traditional disagreement. These people go absolutely ape shit and attempt to destroy to get their way. They shitpost like crazy, doxx, and otherwise abuse their target and the platform, if they deem necessary. They lack any sense of morals, decency, civility, and in many cases, even sanity. They have no place in our society.
It's not surprising in the least that people would want to block that utterly distasteful element.
As if Donald Trump doesn't demean the office of POTUS himself with his cap locks lies and ranting.
Remote work doesn't eliminate the need for meetings and interaction. Time zone and bandwidth/latency of internet connection matter. Good communication skills also matter. Having a good A/V setup for videoconferencing matters.
These are all areas where traditional outsourcing falls short. Some of these problems can be fixed over time, but not the time zone and communications issues.
Good points but working in tech in England, I'm seeing outsourcing to Eastern Europe with people just one hour ahead, good video, good English and a lot cheaper. Turns out shiny offices in London are not as most important as we thought they were.
Wild animals fart too. Perhaps we should reduce their populations. You know... for the environment.
Did you ever see that biomass infographic? Wild animals are insignificant farters.
I'm a hardware guy. I don't code but I can tell the difference between good and bad engineering practices. Can no one compile statically anymore?
A bunch of containers memory-sharing common components can use less resource than the equivalent statically linked processes. And modularity brings dependability and savings in lead times. Also deploying swarms of containers can flatten out load and optimise hardware usage.
