Yeah, because who would want to live in a place without a need for a phone app to tell you where people are shitting in the street.

Ok, here's a direct accusation. They made their list directly based on the number of tech jobs, not the number of tech jobs, per capita or the number of unfilled tech jobs, per capita. They made no adjustment for quality of life. They made no intelligent adjustments whatsoever. They simply said, "this city has x number of tech jobs" with no account for how many people live in that fucking city. Who cares if NY has x number of tech jobs, if you're also not accounting for the fact that there are almost 9 million residents?!

This is a great example for plugging the book How to lie with statistics

I have a hard time believing this assessment when Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Raleigh-Durham aren't in the list. Of course, let the coastal elites think there aren't any good jobs outside of their bubbles. The last thing we need is more competition for these almost equally paying tech jobs in areas with half the cost of living.

Any study that relies on self-reported caloric intake, such as this one, muddies the dataset anyway.

and were discarded the moment they weren't needed anymore. Brought to you by the same cabal that told you a year ago that a cabal of elite pedos was a nazi conspiracy theory.

... is Twitter's second largest shareholder, and was one of the people arrested by the royal family last year under suspicion of plotting a coup.

The other half has learned to shut up, lest they be branded heretics.

The buildup phase of groupthink is well past and has fully matured. Half of the western world already conflates holding certain political views with having moral superiority, hence the justification for openly accepted corporate censorship.

The genie's not going back in the bottle without major societal conflict.

First Fitbit runs a talent acquisition on the Pebble engineering staff to steal their OS, laying off everyone else, and now maybe Google will come in and Androidify everything and make the original Pebble tech - now Fitbit - even more of a data-mining nightmare.

The Pebble was the ultimate programmable watch. They even had Node.js running native just before the Fitbit acquisition.

To clarify, I mean actively listening and transmitting results. If a device is only locally listening for an activation phrase then disclosure is not necessary.

If these devices aren't actively listening, as every manufacturer claims, why would it be imperative to inform your house guests of the device's presence?

This is your bias speaking. If you think either party isn't the "party of corporations" you've been duped. A Fox News KoolAid drinker will rightly tell you that the Clintons (the first NeoLiberals in the White House) and Obama (who took his cabinet positions from a CitiBank list) are from the party of corporations, and wrongly that the Republicans are the party of traditional values.

Here's some truths the Democrats have lied about, from the last few months, to negate your last sentence and prove they lie too:

• Biden really did use his son as a vehicle to take bribes from several countries.
• There is zero tangible evidence that Russia hacked the DNC servers, only the word of a private firm hired by the DNC. The FBI never looked at the servers.
• At least three of the Kavenaugh witnesses, pushed by Democrats were bald faced lying. Two admitted it to Congress and Michael Avenatti made up things in the affidavit and didn't inform his client.

Your perception of reality has a left-wing bias, and in your naivety you wrongly perceive yourself to be unbiased.

There's no way you force a major update on quite possibly the least technically knowledgable developer base without jacking their stuff up.

I love China Warrior, because it looks like a fake video game from an 80s movie, where the characters take up 80% of the screen.
