Is this really that surprising?

Postgres is a RDMS, with transactional support and everything. While Redis is powerful, it is much simpler and focused, not nearly as comprehensive as Postgres.

TL;DR Postgres is doing a lot more heavy-lifting than Redis, it feels slow because that much of work is not necessary for simple kv lookup

Not all women are poor, not all men are rich.

If discrimination is THE issue, then woman specific job ads also needs to be banned.

> This is how much a developer should make. We’re not paying a penny more.

This almost reads as if there is a cast system, where there is place for everyone to be comfortable with and shut up demanding more...

Also US can weather itself the best if the status quo is broken, because it is currently on top. Other countries won't be so lucky.

Trump's actions feel dramatic, but mainly on the magnitude and fast aggression. Something is due to happen and the world needs to adapt to that new normal.

> The growing confrontation between the West and China seems to me to boil down to a philosophical problem

It is not West VS China, it is mainly US VS China. EU and other Asian developed economies might disdain China ideologically, but I don't think they have the appetite to break the status quo this eagerly.

And it is nothing philosophical about it. It is geopolitical, and it is human nature. What you are saying are just intellectual seasoning, it may be necessary to intrigue the audience, but not for action.

China is a new world power that competes with US both militarily and economically. Post WWII, US had fought with Soviet/Japan on those fronts separately, but China looks like a combination of both, makes it even more threatening and hard to tolerate.

Much needed to detoxicate Twitter itself.

> How have we gotten to the point where a company that is considering a $10-46B IPO is in a position where 1/3 of its staff is redundant and can be laid off

I don't think those are contradictory to each other. And in WeWork's case, they were posed to 45B IPO, now it is down to 10B, the trajectory is now totally different, as with the staff that needed.

> Religious orders in Germany are disappearing because so few people want to dedicate their entire lives to God anymore

Is there anything weird about this? Entire life is a pretty hefty price to pay, what needs to be changed is religion itself, if it wants to find more new believers to keep itself from disappearing.

Intel doesn't have anything 7nm yet, there is nothing to consider in the first place.

They failed hard at their 10nm process, and are still struggling to recover from that.

TSMC is the the indisputable leader on fab technology at the moment

Can't we all agree ORMs are just leaky wrappers of SQL? Almost all of them need a backdrop workaround to issue raw SQL to the backend DB to avoid being a blocker at some point.

China itself doesn't have fentanyl issue to start with. Nor other Asian countries.

Why is US singled out here? Can't US just ban it?

You forgot kubernetes

It is definitely not a monopoly...I for one goes to Wallmart.com frequently depending on price.

- Facebook is a US company

- Facebook is at best tolerated by the European countries, they 100% didn't trust it. It is one step away to be claimed as public enemy.

Basically Libra is treated as erosion to EU's governance, and transfer that power to US government. Why would EU welcome this at all?

> no private entity can claim monetary power, which is inherent to the sovereignty of nations

Well said, that should be self-explainable enough.
