<p>2 sides implies equal footing. Especially as many equate this to a war. This isn't a war, it's a genocide.<p>But joke about it. Who cares? Just a bunch of people out of sight, out of mind, getting blown to bits day in day out.<p>Hilarious isn't it.</p>

<p>It's not about muslims vs Jews. It's about being pro genocide and being anti genocide.<p>Don't make this about religion. Human beings do not want to see genocide carried out on concentration camp of 2.3 million people.</p>

<p>There are no 2 sides. There is an oppressor and the oppressed. The coloniser and the colonised. The occupation and the occupied.</p>

<p>It wouldn't just require a change of leaders.
It would require an end to apartheid against Palestinians.
It would require the colonist settlement of Israel giving back all it's land to the Palestinians.
It would require all those involved being brought in front of the ICC for war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing.</p>

<p>I work for a large non-tech company, it operates a tier based salary system.<p>Everyone on the same level gets the same base pay and those who perform well, get a bump and bonus now and then.<p>On my team there are a few developers. I am the only senior. The others have little to no experience.<p>We are paid the same.<p>I believe they are over paid for where we live.<p>I do all of the project planning, code reviews, bug fixes, requests etc. I don't see how the other devs could possibly steer the ship. There is little to no confidence in the others carrying on successfully if I suddenly stopped.<p>I'm beginning to tire of this cycle as I am doing all the hard work and they are getting an easy ticket.<p>No one else in the company has this know how, so it is up to me to mentor and guide these developers. I do my best but I feel like I am not being treated fairly, compensation wise.<p>I brought it up with my manager and was told I would be rewarded, it was a miniscule improvement. I got enough to would cover a few extra coffees.<p>I don't want to quit as my last job ended quite abrubtly and I want to fatten up this portion of by resume.<p>Does this system seem fair to anyone else? Anyone in a similiar position?</p>

<p>Amazon, Google and Microsoft are clipping 10,000+ people each from their roster. Can someone explain why is this happening?</p>

<p>Started applying for roles recently and was wondering about this.<p>Friday seems less ideal to me, being the end of the work week and perhaps managers/hr aren't too keen to open such emails.<p>There is the risk that notifications and emails will get buried over the weekend in other communications.<p>By this logic I feel Monday morning is the best time. Anyone agree/disagree?<p>EDIT: Am I over thinking this?</p>

<p>I'm pleased to see accuracy in the history of techno.<p>I for one did not know it's roots took place back in the 70s and from the black community.<p>These days when I look at techno artists and their raving followers, its prodimently white. I have since taken active steps to seek out the lesser know black artists to support.<p>Many modern music fundamentals are origins from the black community and very little is correctly attributed and/or black artists are sidelined.</p>

<p>I believe the language revolving around AI has been construed by those who are not knowledgable technically but spout nonsense to appear knowledgable to attract clicks and sell books.<p>It doesn't help when laypersons see anatomical terms like neural network and get the image of a computer replicating a human neuron. In fact its merely a fancy for loop. The same results can be achieved with a few nested for loops though not as efficient).<p>AI at the moment is a term flung around too much. There are some faux AI tools out there to cash in on the trend. Others can be simple implementations of predictive analysis with AI label slapped on the side for grandeur.<p>Like another poster said, its about managing expectations.</p>

<p>It would be helpful if the title was more specific as the blog post discusses GDP specifically.<p>More to the point, GDP isn't everything. There are many factors at play. It is possible to cherry pick a multitude of attributes to compare Europe with the US and have either appear to be failing in a graph.<p>Think about how the graph would look if the following were considered: education levels, clean air/water, broadband connectivity, health care, inner city and suburban public transport.<p>Also when comparing Europe it would be fair to include Europe in the data rather than a select few countries, otherwise the title (and the argument) becomes more misleading.</p>
