Burma is the/a historical name for the country. Myanmar is what the genocidal military junta that currently runs the place has called it since the 90s.

'myanmar' is also a historical name and is basically 'burma' just in a different register

yeah, it's literally the same two-syllable word with formal/casual pronunciation which pretty much just changes the initial consonant

english speakers just have no idea how to pronounce either version, particularly americans who assume that 'r' is supposed to be pronounced as a consonant when in both spellings it is merely indicating that the preceding vowel is to be lengthened.

indeed, why would one assume a transliteration using the letter R indicates the transliterator intended you to read an R

Optimus_Rhyme: Apr 15, 2007; are you that mainframe hacker guy?

To everyone's shock and surprise facebook is sounds like a great place to work:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/charliewarzel/facebooks-tensions-zuckerberg-sandberg

quote:

�Now, people now have burner phones to talk poo poo about the company � not even to reporters, just to other employees,�

...

People are �hoping for a Sundar or Dara moment,� one former senior Facebook employee told BuzzFeed News, referring to past leadership changes at Google and Uber in which founding employees stepped aside from top jobs. A second senior employee echoed the view, suggesting that some inside the ranks are looking for a shakeup to come from the outside. The chatter has made its way outside of the company�s Menlo Park headquarters. �Senior people there know the only way out of this is by hiring a Dara,� a senior executive at a rival company told BuzzFeed News referring to Dara Khosrowshahi, the Uber CEO brought in to replace cofounder Travis Kalanick last year.

...

�In some buildings, there are more �Black Lives Matter� posters than there are actual black people,� Luckie wrote, adding that �Black employees are commonly told �I didn�t know black people worked at Facebook.�� That post later mysteriously disappeared from Facebook after being flagged for violating the social network�s �community standards� before it was later restored.

...
On Blind, a semi-public app that allows current and former employees with a company email to post anonymously, Facebook employees on Facebook-related message boards are openly speculating about and arguing over Sandberg�s fate.

...
�I love Sheryl. Because Mark loves Sheryl. This is Mark�s company, not yours. He knows Sheryl better than you do and knows what this company needs better than you do. He gives you so much you get confused in your entitled rear end that this is your company,� one user wrote. �I trust Mark. And if Mark drives the company into the ground it�s his company to drive into the ground. Go work somewhere else or go start your own company if you know so much better than him.�

Not all agree. �Funny, Hitler�s followers said something similar. We all know how that went,� one user replied.

Broadly, others seem to be questioning the �sycophantic� nature of the conversations across Facebook�s internal Workplace system.

�We have an intense culture of conformity,� one user said. �It could be that this pressure to drink the Kool-Aid and to only talk about positive things is a reason behind the large number of leaks we suffer.�

This is your reminder to delete your accounts, or at the very least delete your mobile app.

quote:

Pay workers fairly; treat customers well and protect their privacy; produce quality products; minimize their environmental impact; give back to the communities they operate in; commit to ethical and diverse leadership; and create abundant job opportunities.

you'll be shocked to discover that this includes several of the tech collusion companies, oil companies, banks, insurance companies, and defense contractors
