I have a friend from Donetsk too who grew up there, don't worry. He was making molotov's cocktail when there was a threat that russia would capture Kyiv.
russia and soviet union are not too far apart actually. Let's not make victim of poor russians, while so many of them fight now and fought in the past to kill independent nations.
Countries with similar civilized values should not be naïve and be ready to stand up to barbarians including being aggressive when needed, and yes, EXPAND!
And certainly the West should not be ashamed for standing for its values and what is right, otherwise there is a wide range of ambitious nations who think that their way is unique and the only way to deal with others is power, while despising fundamental human values.
While power may beat everything in some cases, but for some reason citizens of those barbarian countries want to move to the West rather than enjoy their countries' glory in a concentration camp.
>You think HN is filled with people from the humanities fields?
You are right.
>known people who are very smart that don’t work in such fields.
True.
But the whole framing of the article is nonsense including a job title of "Gender, climate and sustainability reporter".
Which makes me doubt intellectual and/or ethical capacity of people who downvoted/supported this nonsense and whole gender war agenda.
and they go to work as a software developer or a quant or something like that.
People who are less gifted in realm of logic and reasoning go to humanities and become talkers - manager, gender reporters and do other jobs that require using trendy keywords without understanding the difference between correlation and causation.
Downvotes indicate there are a lot of these people on HN.
As if 'competition, individualism, and hierarchy' is bad. Well, somebody has to work hard, compete and provide to those who want to enjoy well-being and solidarity.
In the meantime, the left wants to use this as a selling point to abuse the power and be the one in control without paying the hard price of working hard and taking risk.
While I don't doubt Instagram can derail young girl's emotional reward system and skrew hew life long term, I believe IG derails young boys feeling of their position in the world and make them feel miserable.
Corporate world and media freak out when hearing even a hint that men can have their problems too.
Well, if there are software companies that have 1.5x growth and there are that produce 10x and some produce 100x growth, then by definition developers in the 100x company are 10x more efficient than those in 10x company, assuming the factor a developer plays in company growth is significant.
It feels like these myths busters are a bit left leaning.
Sames as a topic about whether Tim Cook deserves his huge pay/bonus, to which the answer to the left leaning academic is, can you find a replacement for him?
Can an intelligent conversation really happen like playing frisbee? Even court trials, where people want to get to the bottom of the truth, happen on the adversarial dialogue principle.
Also, most of the comments under this topic were ideological. The post itself is ideological. Ideological - where two competing ideas fight. Often ideological means moral in it's root. You don't like this? What is wrong with ideological conversations then?
I am the person who can analyse, think and articulate my conclusions, but, apparently, some positions and thoughts are not welcome here.
Apparently, everybody, you, corporations, government, society, my employer want me to be an empty headed craftsman who can talk only on technical topics and avoids social and political topics because it can be discussed by big boys only.
