There seems to be an inverse correlation with spending money on social welfare and your economy's growth It's like repeatedly spoiling a child, they'll just want more and more and will never be satisfied Instead of teaching the importance of frugality, the value of money and not wasting it

But Europe has 35 hour work week, two weeks paid vacation, free healthcare, free education..and homeless shelters, food stamps. Meanwhile China has none of that, because China only spends 8% of its GDP on welfare.

Google just made me go down to CVS and buy 5 giftcards to verify my account, this is getting insane.
Google just forced me to film myself on my laptop camera for like a minute just to log into my email. They must be under full assault.

honestly pretty accurate. You no longer have to code. You have to help alleviate bottlenecks for the agents.

SOC2 don’t do shit for a company when an engineer is physically compromised
By the way, in case anyone was still wondering whether they are completely useless, Binance holds SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and several other certifications.

Legitimately would have thought Instacart was bigger than door dash
Today we’re announcing @DoorDash’s intent to acquire @Instacart. Both DoorDash and Instacart share a mission to help local businesses succeed. Together, we could give grocers and retailers of every size the best of both in one service: DoorDash's delivery network and Instacart’s grocery and fulfillment technology, along with the advertising and AI tools each company has built. Until closing, DoorDash and Instacart will keep operating as separate, independent companies. Find out on how we’re helping Main Street compete and keeping more dollars local: shoplocaltogether.com For important additional information, read more here: ir.doordash.com/news/news-de…
