Yes kicking them out is the best way to address this matter with teenage boys, who were silly enough newly acquired excels skills to record a ‘Lockeroom’ type conversation that many teens have.

- Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’ 6 months ago:
Please treat this as an explanation, and not an apology for big tech. If you work tech, or are thinking about, understand the rules of the game :
-
First, a new skill goes hot - maybe functionally superior, may just be a trend. In tech, it’s always the new shiny.
-
Demand for skills outstrips supply
-
Salaries go up !
-
Big tech flex, offer big money to hoover up the talent. Sometimes it’s for projects, sometimes it’s just to keep them out of the hands of competition, in case the trend becomes a standard
-
Time passes
-
Chasing big salaries, lots of people acquire the skill.
-
Supply outstrips demand, skill becomes a commodity.
-
Salaries come down
-
Big Tech is still paying huge salaries, for skills that may have stopped trending, but at the very least - are now available at market at a much lower rate. If you include globalisation, it could be 30% of what they are paying.
-
The high salary hires get cut, because there’s a new skill trending, or, the same skill is now available at much lower rate .
-
Everyone is shocked !
This has been tech workers life cycle for at least 30 years, and I don’t see it changing

- Comment on ‘They Are Just Pissed Off’: Scott Galloway Warns Young People Are ‘Opting Out of America’ As Older Generations Failed Them 6 months ago:
it’s not really about what i think, but it’s an enormous claim to make, based only on your general understand of American history.
I wonder if you dont find it a bit dismissive, and disrepectful of the challenges faced by those born into the great depression ? or into world war ii ? or those conscripted and sent to die in Vietnam ? Surely, anyone coming of age in those times, would be entitled to think “boy, the adults have really fucked shit up for us ?”

I think you just need to know what you are getting into.
It’s a private company, it’s closed to sourced, they capture and monetise your data.
For people who value transparency and privacy, there are better options. This emulator project, should have known better than to use is.
aaalll of that being said, it’s very popular and if you are not concerned by any of the points raised in this who threads, it’s a good place to meet people to chat about Warcraft or whatever your thing is.
Just be aware that any thing your write, effectively belongs to them forever.
