I could be remembering incorrectly, but back when this was occurring no one knew that issue was specifically limited to "mob spawns attacked certain people". The more honest description is the line about "From the beginning o

Strange to see this exact topic come up twice in two days (the other on Reddit). But as a huge fan of the original AC, it's always fun to see it come up still.

Replace "male chicks" with any other baby (even human) and you may have a different reaction to masserating them while they're alive. I guess, where I get confused is why grinding up baby male chicks is terrible, but lettin

Unless Sony is "doing a better job" solely at selling copies of Call of Duty, then I'm not convinced that this merger is a huge threat to their market position. People aren't buying Sony consoles because of the games put

The track record of "ex-<Popular Game/Company> devs/etc" splitting off for new companies/IPs isn't that compelling to me personally. Lots of games have been sold with that angle, and few that I can rememb

Yeah, this basically summarizes my thoughts regarding this issue. To over-simplify, I foresee two possible outcomes. 1. The merge makes AB worse. That's fine because while I somewhat enjoy their games, they aren't doing anything g

If he doesn't visit for a few weeks, nothing gets done. Wow, if his leadership results in such a bad situation at SpaceX I can only image how poor the result will be at Twitter with whatever is left.

The twitter check was never a mark of credibility. I mean, you are right, it never was a mark of credibility. But no one really claimed it ever was, so it's confusing that you are using it as an accusation.

At least one person seemed to know what they were talking about. Unfortunately the comment was flagged, which is interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31738560 > Very different approach to Bryan Armstrong, w

I think there is a middle area between being a "nice boss" and being a boss who calls out internal engineering implementation concerns (rightly or not) on Twitter. And then fire people who disagree in a response.

I won’t get into why... You mean companies like Apple and Google specifically conspiring to suppress wages and cross-company hiring? Yeah, I can't imagine why people who could be impacted by that would be bothered by reporting that s

And sometimes people are looking for a fight and will search it until they find it ... and then leave. I've found the more likely result is that people looking for a fight will find it, and then stay because they've found a targ

And if you're paying for it, you're still the product. Just a product with slightly less disposable income.

That can't be true though. OP knows they are pushing woke policies, so that information is out there.

People seems to be focusing on college level work. Isn't this going to also cause huge problems at the high school level? When teachers are dealing with large classrooms and a very limited amount of time spent in class, sentiments like

Let me rewrite 'equating women with "nurturing" characteristics' into "women are more caring than men". Or alternatively "men are less caring than women". Do you see the problem now? I would say you

Yep. And calling it "benevolent sexism" is absurd. By that same logic the bias that "men are smarter than women" is benevolent sexism. I don't see the logic there. The "benevolent sexism" is in regards t

The main point is, in Puritanism, thinking the wrong thing is a sin, so even writing it down is seen as bad. Other cultures can discuss without dirtying their souls/minds/egos. The issue isn't that "writing it down is

And why is that? Because Americans are puritanical. I don't think "puritanical" is the right word in this case. Unless you are implying that smoking being considered unhealthy is something based on Puritan or other religiou

When you have debt you have to make payments. If you don't (can't) make the payments, the people you owe money to get upset. So, if the payments are easily made, then this isn't a problem?

I think it’s revealing that the founder and operator of WordPress.com openly admits he makes content decisions based on the values of executives at Apple and at credit card companies. Another way to word this is that he is making a busine

I don’t think it’s the YouTube economy so much as it is the creative economy. If you produce creative content, you are at the mercy of the whims of your audience. Even in profitable or well-funded businesses, there’s a constant existential

Isn’t that true for everything though? More bad devs exist than good one? It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a large number of users in this community have actually worked in a bubble of tech outside the norm where most devs were
