This conversation feels like there's just a slight disconnect between what "trustworthy" means. It's either an intrinsic quality that one possesses, or it's an external quality created by outside perception. It eith

How would that work as a broad industry practice though? If a dev wants to change companies, they would have to start all over as a QA somewhere else? Most people would rather find another industry their skillset is compatible with than do

The town I grew up in was small enough you needed to be rich enough for boarding school to have a "somewhere else" to send them.

I believe it's just a reference to 4chan, where asking someone to post a shoe-on-head for verification was a meme, being a .org domain.

Sure, but how big is the overlap of that set of companies and the set of companies the US government would pick? It's not really a matter of which you trust more if you're being asked to trust both anyway.

Half the public ads in SF are weed delivery services. (The other half are trying to sell software to start-ups.)

> I really should call XY is such a common thought that fades away a second later. This is exactly right. I am constantly thinking of people that I should get in touch with, but never at a time that would actually be appropriate to do so

For me "oryx" does sound like "are-ricks," but "our-ox" is basically indistinguishable from "are-rocks." Only the one slight vowel sound of difference.

I'd go a step further and make it explicitly opt-out. How confident is the average person on exactly what point they are entitled to a lawyer?

If the rules are arcane and specific, then the system will just reward the most competent criminals at the expense of the unprepared and the falsely accused. Making innocent people's lives harder just to catch the least prepared crimin

If you completely ignore the context of the conversation, sure. The way "textiles" was thrown out implied that by shopping for textiles, one should know and care about the actual material. The reply was asserting that they judge t

Depends on the kid. I did plenty of quiet waiting on my single mother when I was five, and portable entertainment has gotten a lot more engaging since the mid-90's.

I don't watch mainstream news, but I got the exact same impression from people. Usually from the tinge of disgust in their voice every time they say the word "China."

It was the % in the show title that fouled up the Mazdas, so they were already doing that before the fix. Even then it was a nearly invisible problem for the podcast itself, not something that would have been significant enough to investiga

I'm turning 32 this year, and I've honestly never used phone calls as a way to talk with my friends (outside the quick calls that texting replaced.) When I changed my phone number a few years back I told like 5 people, all family.

My father doesn't have any sort of web-connected camera, which caused a whole set of problems with his unemployment that I can't remember how they got fixed. On a similar note, I don't have a lot of documents tied to my name,

Do you have data on that, or are you just asserting that your personal experience is more universal than their personal experience? I don't think they're totally off-base: I haven't used my phone contact list for personal con

Exactly. Strip away all of the usual Rogan drama, and this situation is a case study on the strength of podcasting's distributed nature, and the danger that comes with giving that up to cash out.

Yeah, there's a big difference between "We don't want to host your content on our public-facing platform" and "We don't want to sell you digital infrastructure." I'm all for the right to control how y

I was already primed to leave Spotify because of that very tension. I never had any desire to play music and podcasts in the same app: I swap between them pretty fluidly and the separate apps keep everything in context. So the second that t

"Twisting the truth" in this case is using a term that literally everybody except for one deliberate contrarian understands to mean the same thing. A good faith argument shouldn't come down to semantics. Once you realize that
