<p>>  Respectfully, would you have made the same comment about 'finding a place in your heart for the humanity of the other' if we lived during the holocaust, where 'one side' was being maimed and killed by the other, more powerful side?<p>Yes..<p>> Should we _always_ be looking to find the humanity in the other side, or is there something fundamentally different here?<p>Yes..</p>

<p>> The article's claim that AI is responsible for a shrinking job market is tenuous at best.<p>It serves its purpose as a clickbait</p>

<p>Why not email groups? (also known as mailing lists)<p>Email groups are still actively used, provides pretty much same user experience usenet provides, can be decentralized (federated), easier to filter spam, can apply moderation (approve contributions before publishing) and all of us already use email for a reason or another.</p>

<p>I tend to focus on what I can control:<p>I cannot make the job market makers play fair(?) game, but I can reach to current and past employees on linkedin and get the salary range myself, and discard interviews where it is hard to negotiate to an acceptable salary.<p>Also, some keywords in job ads shows more probabilty of lower than market salary, no company is really looking for someone who is looking for new challenges or who can wear many hats, they are just looking for affordable candidates</p>

<p>It is quite the opposite.<p>As a junior, you are more desperate for work to get experience, have less liabilities and would accept anything anyway, so the salary won't make much difference.<p>As a senior, your time worth more and you should not waste it on companies you are out of their league, you are less likely to accept a low salary as your liabilites need to be covered.<p>Yes, you can negotiate but your prespective assumes most companies would give you what you want eventually, which isn't true.</p>

<p>> If you break your legs and spend a few months in a wheelchair, you might not feel legitimate to use the term "disabled" in comparison to someone who has never been able to walk and suffers more from it.<p>I would say "I am hungry" even if I have food in the fridge, I do not need to compare myself to poor starving people and decide to say "I am currently hungry" or "I am in a situation of hunger"<p>> Not letting that disabilty define you as a person. I am not disabled, I am Sunderw, a complicated person with many different aspects.<p>also I am still a complicated person and hungry does not define my personality.<p>> Including more person means reducing stigma and reducing the gap between abled/disabled.<p>Actually, taking too many steps to think of how to describe a person with a certain medical situation already increases the stigma, I would feel more bad if people try to avoid calling me "sick" so I don't feel bad about being sick, this is even worse.<p>Imagine calling a midget "A person with less height" or some nonsense like that.</p>

<p>> Employers don't pay $5 per hour because they wouldn't make a profit either.<p>Nope, they might be able to make profit at $5 or $10/hr, but there it doesn't make sense to pay more than you have to, that's why Chinese devices are significantly cheaper than their western counterparts, they can still compete if they raise the prices but they can allocate cheap labor in china that allows them to become a strong competitor</p>
