The Hegelian dialectic inherent in both.

A dialectic method of historical and philosophical progress that postulates (1) a beginning proposition called a thesis, (2) a negation of that thesis called the antithesis, and (3) a synthesis whereby the two conflicting ideas are reconciled to form a new proposition.

Exactly. Universities have become a sink of misandrist neomarxist thought.

It has led to an atmosphere of intellectual immaturity and victim-mentality-agrandizement. Universities now feel more like a coddled highschool experience than adulthood.

Don't expect intelligent, strong-minded, strong-willed men to accept such silly, degenerate distractions from the supposed goal of these universities (to provide "education", skills, network, etc.).

Not so fast.

First review the blatant, widespread corruption in Chinese academia, before you consider fully accepting the value of education in China

"In 2015, for instance, Britain-based publisher BioMed Central retracted 43 articles, including 41 from China. Later in the same year, Germany’s Springer retracted 64 papers, nearly all from Chinese scholars, while the Dutch publishing company Elsevier retracted nine medical science articles written by Chinese researchers.

"In what is said to be the largest single-incident retraction of journal publications in history, Springer Nature in 2017 retracted 107 articles in Tumor Biology published between 2012 and 2016, all of them authored by Chinese scholars from universities in Shanghai."

That's what I immediately thought, "How convenient, a photo that suits article's the narrative: that all young men are NEETs (not in employment, education, or training). I suppose they couldn't have shown a productive young man as it would be antithetical to the author's thesis.",

How does someone become a billionaire while actually maintaining the principle of equitism?

Billionaire equitism-- an oxymoron, no?

I don't know exactly what is meant by equitism, but Urban Dictionary suggests this: "A desperately needed socioeconomic system in which the workforce environment distributes gains within reason between the employees' wages and management's compensation."

Some even consider the financial rape of divorce.

And quantitatively speaking, surely there is some amount of money, which when lost in divorce, is tantamount to the original definition of rape.

(That is, a thought experiment whereby a person might decide a certain amount of money is worth the allowance/aversion of rape of the said bargainer-- such a threshold is different for each person but arguably represents an approximation of a financial quantification of rape-- which, perhaps that amount of money, when lost in divorce, can thereby arguably be considered financial rape)

Especially given that in public health administration, life and health is quantified in monetary terms.

I think you mean

- "the more open minded ... as long as it's open to what I like and closed to what I don't"

- "do as you like as long as I approve"

And I'm not speaking to you-- But rather extrapolating these as they represent the fake tolerance of the anti-traditional neomarxists-- SJWs who typically exhibit substantial fascist traits

* --> See those downvotes? Point proven :) The hypocrisy of those who claim tolerance of different perspectives *

I like the product, there's a large market for it.

I see it as another case of developed -> developing country labor arbitrage:

I imagine the work can be outsourced to IT people in India (or possibly another country), and accomplished using a variety of code & low-code tools such as using Zapier, MuleSoft, etc., right. And then the end product & process just needs to be managed & delivered by an American IT people.

Excellent. There is a silver lining:

It will lead to the end of Facebook and hopefully these practices you’ve described... once the lesson is learned.

The end of Facebook, Snap, and other scientifically-designed-to-be-attention-exploiting apps/sites would be very positive.

I use these simply to spite Adobe.

Sick of Adobe's greed-driven lack of respect for customers.

Also, after interviewing with Adobe (granted this was 3-4 years ago), I was not impressed. I was asked who I voted for in the 2016 elections.

If i's so easy, why aren't you one?

"On his first day in Japan, Cook met with the 84-year-old Masako Wakamiya, the world's oldest app developer who released her first iPhone app in 2017, and 13-year-old Jun Takano, who's believed to be the youngest in her profession."

You cannot equate being a tradesman to a software engineer:

Being a software engineer requires highly intense focus for hours on end, unpacking and repacking equations in different languages, which you must continuously teach yourself while using them to build things.

Also, here's no reason you cannot become one.

Unless of course, you're not willing to do what it takes. And guess what amigo: It takes time, effort, and the ability to simply sit and focus at a desk for 4-8 hours per day and teach yourself several related languages, and client (browser) & server (such as 100% free, open source, Linux) configuration methodologies.

Can you do that?

So don't blame anyone but yourself for your choice not to go to google right now and search for "Roadmap to becoming Full Stack Web App Developer" or "Roadmap to becoming a Mobile App Developer".

Unity is not profitable. And they underpay employees relative to market rate.

Weird to see Unity spend money externally rather than fix itself internally.

I worked there. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. (It’s Management heavy, a big reason I left— too many managers)

And thank the neomarxists and communists for that.

Capitalist society -> Slowly institute communism -> Slowly destroy economy to reduce purchase price of assets (real estate, infrastructure, industrial businesses) -> Elites with cash stockpiles buy those assets at low cost -> Power & wealth further centralized -> Just before moving economy/society towards Capitalism, sell off public property (such as natural resources) to your cronies -> Reimplement capitalism, now with more power than before.

Wash, rinse, and repeat, until you reach your desired level of wealth centralization in the hands of the "Qui?"'s

Apple’s Mistake 5 years ago

It's... code for a meme which is... representative of a tight knit group... speaking any criticism against whom outlawed in many countries. Hence I can't even say.

Sooo... once child predators switch from iphone to a regular camera ... then what, Apple? Fuck everyone's privacy though?
