  Because the wealthy run the country and control the legislators who pass the laws. They don’t want enforcement, so there is no funding for enforcement even if the laws exist on the books to keep the middle class and poor in check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If college is a scam, where do you go to get better education?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  College is and never has been a scam. Some people have been mislead as to their job prospects, some assumed that having the diploma was all that they needed to do, and others have gone through the process only to get the paper and not actually learn from the experience. What you get out of it is up to you. Are you willing to continuously grow? Then getting a bachelors will be a good footing to start out on.

  I’m so glad to see this comment. I have been worried that everyone would be all in on this. I am relieved to see that people can see the company for what it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont we say "WWW" in front of website URLs anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The goal was simplicity, not accuracy. To give the “gist” of it to someone who does not know much about technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont we say "WWW" in front of website URLs anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was also meant to be a simple answer rather than a deeply technical one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont we say "WWW" in front of website URLs anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Originally, companies had a much simpler infrastructure and the prefix before a server let you know what sort of server was. So you can imagine something like this:

  -mail.microsoft.com -ftp.microsoft.com -irc.microsoft.com -print.microsoft.com

  These sorts of services would have been in existence long before the world wide web became commonly used. When it started out, it was logical to put “www” in front of the server name.

  Now, DNS is largely used for this purpose. You put “microsoft.com” in your browser and it resolves, and is sent to MSFT. The servers on that end detect what sort of connection it is from the port number used and other methods, then forward your request to the appropriate server automatically. Any variation of it will go to the same place: -https://microsoft.com/ -https://www.microsoft.com/ -http://microsoft.com/ -microsoft.com -etc.

  Yeah watching commercials seems primitive.

  So it’s not that you’re eating the breakfast as much as taking some back to your room and then eating it after sleeping longer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was an excellent response

  I don’t know that most people can go back to sleep. You have a talent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New grads say employers set the bar too high for entry-level roles: 'No job is willing to give you that first experience'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it has been true since the late 80s/early 90s. It is getting worse, though, as there really are no entry level roles anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New grads say employers set the bar too high for entry-level roles: 'No job is willing to give you that first experience'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This sort of disconnection from reality is just what you expect from the MBA class.

  Finn. Long and thin is rare but lovely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Compsci grads facing recession-like job prospects thanks to AI - Slinging coffee and waiting tables ain't just for liberal arts grads any more, say Census Bureau economists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Computer scientists are among the most libertarian there are and will never work together in that way. They genuinely believe that, in the face of decades of layoffs, that they can do better alone.

  Universities have to carefully list comparative literature as C LIT.

  Or–and stay with me here–get some graduate certificate and make that the only thing that appears on your education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I feel invisible’: over-50s reveal harsh realities of trying to get a job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t doubt that there are people who see old person and move on to the next candidate. I also believe that many people do not redefine themselves in their careers and have not grown since they were in their late 20s. You have to grow and adapt or get left behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should the next President of the US pardon Trump for all his crap like Ford did Nixon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The pardon isn’t the problem, it’s who gets elected. The power of the pardon has existed for a thousand years or so in English Common Law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should the next President of the US pardon Trump for all his crap like Ford did Nixon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ford was a loyalist who put party over country. We needed a reckoning and that never happened. If it had happened, you’d have found a much different Reagan and Trump presidency.

  I am glad to see some good developers supporting their community. We need more of these.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Reagan's second term like Douche In Chief second term? Where it was finally revealed Regan had full alzheimers for the majority of his second? Were there signs the public saw something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There also wasn’t social media and news companies still had this sort of “you respect the office” mentality. I don’t know that they would have come out with some expose if there were a link, for instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Reagan's second term like Douche In Chief second term? Where it was finally revealed Regan had full alzheimers for the majority of his second? Were there signs the public saw something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As many flaws as Reagan had, he actually was a very intelligent person who cared deeply about politics and had the experience to back it up. It makes sense that he was surrounded by like-minded people. He was still a horrible person who made the world a worse place, but he was reasoned and not a hack.

  I am surprised at how often I will do something like “Play ‘The Apple Orchard in Saghmosavanq’ by Tigran Hamasyan” and I get back “Now playing Christina Applegate”. It’s like AI latches on to they biggest keyword it can detect and focuses on that even if it violates part of the search parameters.
