There are some that argue that libraries are able to lend out the same book forever and that digital lending replicates this. Except libraries have to replace books that are frequently borrowed. Even books with the best bindings come apart and most books don't survive a few dozen borrowings. So libraries replace the popular books with new copies. How many of the books on your own shelves at home (especially paperbacks) have survived more than a dozen readings? (I only buy hardbacks now because most of my paperbacks from the 80's have fallen apart)

Often teams know who they want to hire - but it involves going through outsourced recruitment agencies who are doing their best to interpret arcane HR policies that include byzantine D&I requirements. The outsourced recruiters are not incentivized to ensure that the process gets the best person hired - can't describe how many times I've seen the process recommend a hiring and then having some outsourced HR person fuck up the process so much (lowballing offers or providing incorrect terms even when the org wants to pay them) that the candidate ends up elsewhere. Outsourced HR is basically a bunch of recent graduates who don't give a shit but who are rewarded for hiring anyone - not for hiring the right person.

Population will begin declining in the next decade. You'll get the annihilation of humanity you so desperately desire.

Given that Disney is being prepped for sale to Apple, I think your info is off.

Ideology will protect you from understaffed projects not having time or resources for find issues more than patch management.

Google believes it is the proper authority. Google believes it should be running the world and your soul and rights are just another terms of service violation.

Used to be able to make a middle class living off writing SF - then Cory came along and said "not paying for stuff is fine" - he's more interested in shoving his Marxist revolution down your throat than he is in you being able make a buck creating stuff.

Aotearoa is alphabetically before Australia - which means on every drop down list NZ will be before Aussie and this is exactly the sort of thing that means this is a red hot goer.

They pissed off enough Republicans by going woke that it seems unlikely.

Given that some on the left consider misgendering to be the equivalent to a death threat - not sure how anyone will determine what constitutes violence.
