What is this "honk honk"? I've seen it lots of places. Might just be baader meinhoff, but I first encountered it in Chicago where aggressive drivers are constantly honking but its commonplace practice to give two loud honks o

If they’re scared to make money because it’s slightly harder or there’s a fraction less money to be made then the market will correct for this.

Its one thing to acknowledge that open source software doesn't get the review it needs. Its another thing entirely to suggest that major platforms in use today are sponsored by state actors willing and able to introduce vulnerabilities

I will have to educate myself on the specifics of corruption in Israeli politics, but we're dealing with a particularly virulent freewheeling kind of graft in American politics where pretty much any curb would be significant. Right now

Wasn't there a post here about how little review open source software actually gets due to the highly specific knowledge required to identify vulnerabilities? something like: https://www.itworld.com/article/2922074

Maybe you’re one of today’s 10000 https://xkcd.com/1053/ But it’s been widely accepted since West Wing first aired that corruption in America’s electoral system (and politics generally) can be traced back to campaign f

The law wasn’t designed with this use case in mind. It’s likely you and everyone you know break minor laws daily just by going about your day. The end result of this is wider application of flawed human judgement in enforcing laws that coul

My success as an architect or senior dev or supervising senior dev or practice lead (all hats I've worn just like the knit beanie I wear every day) all depend on a senior management team above me that remains relaxed, open to new ideas

Your manager should be called a practice lead and they should have recently been a senior dev. They should have been picked by other senior devs as the obvious choice since he’s the guy who spends more time on lunch and learns than writing

What toxic pit do you work in where junior programmers are ARGUING with senior architects and the senior devs aren’t mentoring, reviewing and empowered to make key decisions in another room before junior developers ever see a spec? And how

A company that cannot come up with a better more interesting process isn’t somewhere I want to work. How about making the questions broad enough for every candidate to have some input and evaluate them on what they choose to focus on? Somet

I worked with Michael Slaby in 2008 and 2012. He's an incredible technology manager. He's great at punching up and fighting for his engineer's perspectives and helping upper management understand limitations and then getting

I'm not angry. As they say in America, "I have no dog in this fight." It does not bother me in any way that the government in China gets to decide whether and where people can travel or work or live. I'm glad they don&#x

In the west the idea of a hukou has been used by kings, lords, police, governments big and small of all kinds for more than 1000 years. It’s not a new idea it is one that I think most western countries would say, “we tried it and it failed.

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, only the cost and timeline for a grassroots effort to prevent disaster. If we leave this up to local parties to solve our great grandchildren will be having the same argument

At the danger of DOX'ing myself I'll just say I was a hair's breadth from closing the loop on full online voter registration in 2008 but apparently local offices are not REQUIRED to accept faxed registrations and might FORGET

World governments and wealthy private interests are right now paying huge sums of money to interfere with election results. That's happening right now. Not in the past. That's why we need enough people who aren't in danger to

From one side of your mouth you're demanding perfect privacy and from the other side I'm sure you'll tell me its necessary because of the laws in the US for voting procedure and policy to be bottom up starting with localities

Again, this assumes a slippery slope. Organ donors abound. Should we be allowed to redact it on our driver's licenses for fear that we might be judged by our bosses and neighbors or compelled to donate or that it reveals our religious

I hope by the length of my next sentence I'll be worthy of some small part of the praise you're giving the Seattle Times here :-) It seems to me that the only difference between an exit poll and a voluntary disclosure checkbox whi

Pointing out a contradiction of policy and interest between civilian and military who each have independent concerns and capability doesn't necessary imply sarcasm. I took nimbius to mean that it will be interesting (as in get your pop

Which is why I advocate public intoxication and discussion of politics. It’s beneath the sort I oppose and would benefit the sort I support taking action.
