Want to make sure I understand: you think white males are disadvantaged at FAANG? What is the basis for thinking this, and have you weighed any difficulties for white males against the difficulties of other groups?

The launch of this phone was utterly botched. There's a hilarious dissonance between the talk of SoC design, AI, computational photography and ambient computing and the inability to handle a website with a relatively simple purchase f

I appreciate what you're saying -- that the end result of a Democratic majority Congress, in addition to a Democratic President -- is the same. However, I do think it's unfair not to acknowledge 2 points: - The executive isn&#

As someone on SSRI's as well, I think it's a bit of a mixed bag. I've definitely experienced CBT where my therapist and I worked to tear down some overly harsh views of myself (unrealistic). The flipside is my struggle with w

> It is not ok to be introverted nor socially anxious. Social anxiety is a clinical diagnosis that needs to be handled and treated, I agree there. However, I strongly disagree that it's "not ok" to be an introvert, and

Haha, absolutely, it's a terrible example with terrible design that I pulled out of thin air, but it was just to illustrate the point of how even seemingly innocuous changes can have major consequences.

The problem is the subset of devs who don't know what they don't know. Dev 1: "I'm just going to reword this error message because I think it sounds awkward. Harmless, I'll ship it" Dev 2: "Actually you&#x

Right, but it removes the opportunity for a second dev to see subtle but catchable issues that are the most likely to get missed in isolated testing by dev/first level QA. Race conditions, improper use of lifecycle hooks, scaling issue

Yeah the quote you pulled is a really unhealthy take. Requiring reviews is not lacking trust in the dev team, it's acknowledging that we are human, fallible, and that these systems are full of complexity that one person seldom understa

In theory yes. In practice, your test suites are not all-encompassing perfect oracles.

What are the reporting requirements? Will they lead to taxation? Overhead computing resource per block/transaction validated? Is this reporting only, or will it result in additional taxes? This seems light on details, and I really don&

Fair enough I guess, but parent was still to my eye misunderstanding what `x privelege` means. s/white/male/g and the point largely still stands with mildly adjusted examples. I'd argue overall it is on the whole easier

This right here is a demonstration that language around "white privilege" is too opaque, loaded, academic and at times outright hostile. It's failing at it's job of helping people to understand the problem. Privilege is

Average consumers don't care about codecs. Google runs a video streaming service. Paying codec royalties is a cost of doing business unfortunately. If we could snap our fingers and make it go away, then great but holding consumers host

It's not backwards compatibility support, it's warranty. Google is running Youtube. It's very profitable. They can afford the maintenance burden of running these apps for the supported lifetime of Roku devices. It's real

But if the app is working, why shouldn't it be on the store?

by JediWing 5y ago
Yes, exactly what I meant. If they want to be on the device, write within the bounds of the device and support it throughout it's lifetime. Don't hold your massive customer base as leverage after having supported multiple apps on

by JediWing 5y ago
This is all so ridiculous and anti-consumer. There are working apps. Right now! The status quo should be that existing apps stick around. As far as codecs, or anything of the sort, Roku has a device that they sell to customers. Google must

I would assume the guidelines for aspirating would be the same across all of these vaccines, though? If so the original point still stands regardless of adenovirus vs. mRNA

If this were the case it would be odd that this is happening a.) in a consistent subset of women 18-38 b.) that it would emerge in a 1-shot regimen rather than a 2-shot regimen, because it would seem more likely that any one individual woul

What I never see discussed with national sales tax proponents: a huge portion of the tax collected would now be on credit cards. As an layman to economics, this seems like it could be potentially disastrous.

I sort of disagree, and here's why: In your assessment of the situation, the equation is: value brought to company without overtime + value brought to company by doing overtime = salary but the overtime is paid, so: va
