Hezbollah and Hamas are awful terrorist organizations (that do not really compare to the IRA btw) that also commit human rights abuses constantly. Obligatory fuck Israel and the IDF.

“Haha, I prefer the less-bad human rights violators”

Where’s the joke?

Ahh yes, fruit = meat

He continues to do all he can to help Putin and sell out veterans and the elderly by attacking veteran benefit funding, cancer research, Medicare, social security…. He’s an extremely loud and proud anti-union anti-worker rights advocate, sexual predator, all-around man child who is determined to topple democracies and lift up authoritarian groups like the AFD (Neo Nazi party is Germany who supports Putin). During the election he joked about Kamala getting assassinated multiple times, I could go on and on and on.

But yeah, so weird nobody fucking likes the elitist bastard… how strange.

A bit defensive there…. It’s quite literally a harmless meme

Also, how does this have anything to do with house brain? Most hotels and apartment buildings don’t even come close to the sizes of some of these massive ones in China.

Because just that one company has shifted to cheaper offshore work right? Surely the entire industry just about isn’t doing the exact same thing right?

OH BUT THE ANSWER IS SOOOO SIMPLE! Just start your own business, everyone!! That’s all you need to do!!!

Literally everyone who voted on your comments downvoted you, aside from yourself…

My company is WFH but they tell me if I move more than a few hours drive from my local “hybrid” office it’s akin to quitting. My company is not alone in this.

You had to work with Indians to realize they’re just like us? 💀

I’ve had really good and really bad experiences with contractor companies from India. It’s truly hit or miss and more often than not you don’t get the same quality of code or commitment (contractor or not)

That said, I agree with pay. They work for cheap and it really hurts the industry here at home while helping the c-suite pocket more of the profits.

Not to mention the fact that the qualifications and the ability to communicate complex concepts and information without issue (in the language used by the rest of the company on shore) are almost always extremely subpar.

Too often I’m asked questions and I give thorough examples and ask if it makes sense and get a “yes” back immediately and then the next day rolls around and I’m asked the same questions by the same people and am forced to repeat the process.

I’m told these contractors are seniors with 10+ years of experience but act like junior interns.

But hey, the c-suite sees the real incentives here! Cheap labor!

All of your responses are being downvoted and for good reason. Maybe you need to rethink some things

Well done, great responses :)

Oh, well, if it’s not proprietary anymore, no problem!!! Did you not read the context regarding the impact to other existing and in-progress projects?

Also I like how you threw out POSIX as if that somehow makes this concept not only feasible but also fits into profit margins to be able to secure the additional funding. Who will sign up to contribute time and resources and stick to those same standard long term? EA? Ubisoft? I didn’t say it couldn’t be done I said it’s not something corporate would ever go for.

Go ahead and tell those big corpos to stop being anti social, I’m sure that’ll secure the funding and commitments necessary industry-wide

Yeah that would be awesome but it’s easier said than done (to no surprise, I’m sure).

One of the big issues I see from a developer standpoint is the potential for leaking proprietary code that they may not want to publicize like things related to authorization, server side anti cheat implementations, etc.

Why would they care? The product is done right? Well every project is not written from scratch and so to publish this stuff it could incur risk to the org’s other current/future projects in addition to helping outside sources get a leg up on said other current/future projects.

This could be dealt with potentially as well but that means extra dev resources and time and potentially inter-org collaboration to develop common OS standards but again that’s work that does not generate $$$

I’m not defending these assholes mind you, I just understand the blockers in the way. The greedy fucks could indeed do this but they never will because of said $$$

it died a long time ago

It’s absolutely not street legal in America either, this asshole just hadn’t been caught yet. As other commenters have mentioned, this vehicle was likely involved in a collision not a cool mod lol

For the most part yes, but not always and also once it gets too big you lose those same creative minds to the sea of trash and mediocrity

Everyone who uses hair dye is mentally ill haha so funny!!!

Who upvotes this braindead shit?

At least NCD is a snark/meme community and not a whole ass instance lol

as dubious as the value they provided

Go look at bitcoin and tell me the value dubious. Here I’ll help: https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/BTC-USD click the 5y view at the bottom.

Yes crypto is full of scam coins, but scammers permeate everything, should we give up on email too for the same reasons? Saying crypto in general is a scam is just ignorant.

XMR as well provides key privacy protections, etc.
