I started hating web dev in general after working in web dev for few years. It's the same CRUD operations over and over again with some massaging of the data. On top of that everyone wants to apply their latest and greatest idealogy (tdd, pair programming, agile) like they are trying to solve world poverty or something.

I moved into high concurrency, low latency back end programming, jvm tuning sphere. Much more demanding and satisfying. Plus, no cookie cutter BS. I never want to go back to web dev again.

As a rabid liberal, I think this is a stretch.

That's how that works. Take for example, HIV. Nobody dies of HIV, but because HIV causes immunodeficiency, you can die because of common cold or flu. That doesn't mean the person died because of common cold, they died because of HIV/AIDS.

Similarly if you have type 1 diabetes and you get infected with corona, you probably died with diabetic complications, but without corona you would have been totally fine.

Not sure how that doesn't change your point. In fact you are conflating two different things. On one hand you are arguing about overreporting and on the other hand don't even want to take into consideration common practices in disease statistics. Almost makes me think you are not arguing in good faith.

Ok, NY counted some that they shouldn't have. There's a vast majority of the country other than NYC that is affected by the virus and vast rest of the world too. You decided to nitpick one example and made it sound like a pattern.

That sort of proves my point. UK didn't even want to restrict anything. Netherlands, Italy and Spain acted too late. Sweden decides to selectively restrict. In US people are willing to sacrifice human life for economic activity and no wonder all these countries are worse off as far as fatality rate goes compared some other countries like Germany or India.

And how do you know the fatality rate of flu? That stat is not even reported. Even CDC only has an estimation of flu deaths.

Besides, many strains of flu has a vaccines available. Nothing of that sort exists for corona.

May be for healthy, but not for the people with certain underlying conditions like diabetes, high BP, obesity etc. Also even if you are not vulnerable to the disease, you could be spreading this to the others who are even without showing symptoms.

Look at Sweden. They decided to let the people at risk stay home while others go out and about their business. Didn't work out too well for them.

I don't see the link here. Yes there are 22 million laid off. But given a choice between being alive and being jobless, I think people would choose being jobless. The people protesting are not the same people lining up at food banks.

I have seen wapo video of Michigan protest. People there were angry because they want to get their hair done or buy paint and fertilizer. They want others to go to work to they can stay home.

Did you even read the links I posted?

Your claim that the ensuing poverty will cause more deaths then corona virus. Do you have anything to support this? You made a claim so the onus is on you to provide supporting data. I don't need to refute anything at this juncture.

You have no data to support this.

You should know that this is not a grass root movement rather someone astroturfing.

Also take a look at this Reddit comment

I vouch for this. That's exactly what I ended up doing, in the same order even.

As another guy from India who was on H1B and started a company. You can start a company but you may not work for it. You can attend the board meetings and that's the extent of your involvement. If you do anything, even clean the floors of the office you are technically breaking the law as your h1b allows you to only work for the employer that sponsored your Visa.

Problem is finding people who have enough experience and skillset that matches with that experience. One of the places I worked at, I interviewed 4 candidates, but they couldn't even explain the stuff that they wrote on their resume or answer basic technical questions, questions related to simple data structures or questions about their primary programming language.

We literally gave up on the position and after two years the position is still not filled.

There isn't dearth of candidates, just the competent ones.

I did the exact same thing. Worked for two huge multinational corps and now working for a company thats is about 12 year old and employs about 30-35 people including the founders. I love it. Mostly because the people I work with are very easy to get along with and I have freedom to propose ideas and implement them.

First time in last 10 years I haven't updated my resume after being at a job for an year.

It's not like crypto hasn't been used for ransoms and such. This gubment is bad bullshit from libertarian idiots needs to go away.

Some of these laws are absurd. How would prosecuting this girl would benefit anyone?

There always will be certain population that believes in conspiracy theories, magic, God and angels, trickle down economy, flat Earth so on and so forth.

There needs an invention in medicine to make these people rational.

That may not work. The TOR proxies are either blocked or using them means solving captchas for every website you would visit. Even google asks you to verify that you are not a robot if you are using TOR.

If you like your job and it pays well, why leave it. Your problem is not job, your problem is that you haven't taken any vacations. Just take a month off and plan a vacation. Or just stay home and work in your health.

I used to pool my vacation and take entire month of December off and just relax. I used to work out in the gym almost every day, wake up late, take naps, watch movies. Other times, go travel to far away places etc.

If you come back and have forgotten passwords, then you have used up the time well.

Seriously? How do you propose he do that while not having a place to live or money to spend? How is he going to put food on his own table?

Kenya is not wild west where there's a new resources to be found, leave alone by someone who is new to the country.

This is ridiculous.

Huh?

Visit Apple store with proof of purchase of the phone. They will unlock it for you. I have done that with my old phone.

wow! aren't you edgy?

I could, but I work for a small company and there's no space for larger office or installing cubicles. So I am not sure how that request will go.

Pull up BBC articles about India in past 10 years and I guarantee you that 90% of politics related opinion and news pieces are very biased.

How much South East Asia related news do you consume?

The title of the article reads "Harvard Immunologist to Legislators: Unvaccinated Children Pose ZERO Risk to Anyone"

This is the recent news article that contradicts the claim: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/02/24/unvacci...
