How often can you get that week off? Most people I know working in the service industry have to fight to get that even once a year. Hopefully someone's OK not going home and seeing their family in a year to take a vacation like this.

No, they didn't. They talked about their process and their mindset. They didn't share the photo. Your response feels spiteful and needlessly mean. When someone is talking to you, listen to their words - such as their words talkin

The entire post is one big ad hominem. The entire premise is "these people's arguments don't matter because of who they are", which is a fallacy. I don't care if you think that a broken clock is right twice a day,

Farm subsidies aren't opinions to be changed, they're hard facts. I live in the part of WA state that subsidizes all the red agricultural areas that love to talk about how much they hate us, I understand how the money flows.

This gatekeeping is bizarre and weird. It's not OK to complain about the impacts of AI because you worked in the tech industry? Especially since it starts by complaining about Rob Pike's rant and Rob starts by complaining about t

Heavily subsidized rural roads and utilities, tax incentives, all sorts of price subsidies depending on the crop. Police (which act primarily in the interests of capital), fire fighters, food safety inspectors to give people the confidence

The gas tax has never paid for full road maintenance. It's always been subsidized from other funds.

The automation was only possible because of a digitized data source which was created as part of a modernization effort 18+ years ago - 18 years before DOGE ever existed - when it was realized this process needed to be improved and automate

This was automated because the need to do so has been recognized for decades. DOGE had nothing to do with it.

It's not hypocrisy or virtue signaling if people are choosing to be tolerant. If someone is standing near the train tracks and sees a train approaching a stalled car, they should be praised for choosing to run over and help even if

ACLs in Linux were tacked on later; not everything supports them properly. They were built into Windows NT from the start and are used consistently across kernel and userspace, making them far more useful in practice. Also, as far as I kno

Then develop more empirical measures of impairment. A device that tests response time, etc. Doctors have been doing that with a hammer to the knee for decades, optometrists do it with a headset that flashes lights where you have to press

The problems with management aren't the result of any one person - it is the ownership class, their lack of any feeling of societal obligation, the lack of consequences for their actions, and their ownership of media and messaging.
