Most public service workers who take their job seriously. In my country, those include military personnel, teachers, actually competent politicians

I had a free Google Workspace account used for my family email since the inception of the program. Over a few years it went from free to USD$12 per user, with increasing restrictions put upon it.

From that point onwards, I never trusted any product from Google, and will never consider any in future. It's a company with no internal consistency, and has the motto of "we will do anything that's evil if it helps make us look better than Apple".

Yes I'm still salty about it.

Most recently tho, Netflix.

Ditto, I have to say I'm appalled on a daily basis how software developers I work with are so foreign with the tools they use to earn a living.

Extremely infuriating as well.

Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.

In Asia: our grandparents would tell us we were either picked up from the rubbish bin, or exploded from a rock

$300M feels like "Ahh we caught you now, bad boys, don't let me catch you again. Now go have your lunch."

These people should be punished harsher for all the lives they've destroyed intentionally.

Company hired 5 fresh ~~grass~~ grads, me included. Tasked to build AI products (this was when LLMs were still conceptual Markov chains and ANNs were the shiny new things) and other software products for huge corporations.

Obviously one of the projects failed, regional manager went into a meeting to discuss what to do with the failed project and told the client "we're not even a software company".

Started looking for interviews the next day.

Not 100% sure in the case of Singapore, but the double yellow lines indicate no stopping.

For places where we are allowed to park on the sides of the roads, there are either lot spaces already allocated and drawn out, or there will be no lines painted on the road.

Double yellow lines in the picture here indicates no stopping at all times, so it would be a little pointless to have the curb indicate no parking again.

The curb might just be for visibility, can't confirm.
