Yep, that's what's contested here and is unclear.

IANAL, but California is an at-will state. Again, IANAL, but my educated understanding is that you can fire someone for any reason as long as the reason is not illegal. Lastly, IANAL.

Prefixing this by saying I am not siding with Google (since people make assumptions). The standard approval process sounds like most merge review processes on any engineering team. There's a sort of assumed good-faith for this process

Nope, I am not siding with Google, if you'll see my other comments in this thread. It's just not super clear to me that there's agreement on what actually happened here.

It's still worth discussing if their reaction warranted the offense. Would they have fired her had she added a pop-up on Earth Day encouraging employees to recycle? Or would she have received a slap on the wrist for that. In other word

The article is confusing. She says she was fired for doing one thing. Google says she did something else (modified Chromium without permission). Does she deny their claims, or is her statement just spin? Given just her quotes you would thin

I've thought this since Borland fell apart. The ship sailed a long time ago. Unless you're a unicorn like Slack with cross organization appeal you have no chance!

It spills over into real life now, if you haven't seen "influencers" out doing photoshoots you're lucky. I was at a museum in Boston and couldn't see some things because an influencer would spend 5-10 minutes settin

11ty solves static site generation to me. What makes it unique is it's simplicity. Unlike others it doesn't work on a lot of conventions. It supports a bunch of template formats that can be nested. And that's pretty much all

Gatsby sites are bloated with JS that is mostly not used. If the goal is a static site then Gatsby might be the worst possible choice.

Using web components or something else is only one small part of the performance question. They could be using both web components and React for all we know. They could be using any number of JavaScript libraries that could be harming perfo

Great, so there's 1 example. That doesn't negate my point.

Not just event movies, any sort of movies that can be considered "feel-good" in any way is pretty outside of what Scorsese does. I haven't seen Hugo and maybe that applies! Maybe he's had 1 or 2 or 3 that apply, I can&#x

Happy to hear that you've moved past that human emotion, but you don't need to insult those who still experience it.

Well Superman is the story of an immigrant, Captain Marvel is an orphan boy who was living on the street and even after he receives powers has to work a job to survive, Miles Morales is from a middle class family who is unhappy about having

Happy to be educated. Movies about crime and organized crime in particular is a major part of Scorsese's filmography, and certainly his most popular films. I haven't seen every movie he's made but I'm not aware of any th

They are both escapism and stories of the human experience. Spiderverse, for example, is partially about overcoming self-doubt.

His point was to move the genre away from movies he likes into a box with things he perceives to be lesser. But he's wrong, a movie has more in common with other movies than it does a physical location where you go to have fun.

Cowboy movies (westerns) and plays were the superhero movies of the past couple centuries, until they faded out (from mass popularity) in the 1970s or so.

This criticism seems similar to the criticisms that Bill Maher has leveled in the past (of course Moore has much more understanding of the culture). They both are based on the premise that we must live our entire lives focused on cultural a

Scorsese misses the point of the genre. Superhero movies, and any sort of movie franchise, are about getting to revisit a world that you like. We care less about whether the story represents a "window into our soul" and more about

A lot of prominent Rust people, in fact, aren't using it in production. The Rust community is large and not everyone works for Mozilla or Cloudflare. I'm not going to call these people out by name because that would be a mean and

> People build libraries to solve real problems. Not always, some Rust community members in fact don't build any sort of applications with Rust at all, and only build libraries. I think it's reasonable to be skeptical of this.

This is the kind of article that keeps me coming back to HN.

I didn't state that no one builds anything in Rust so I have no need to square it.

Strong agree. I feel like the opposite is true of the Rust community. I follow a lot of prominent people in Rust and all they tweet about is intricacies of the language and new features/libraries. I'm not sure these people are eve

That sounds like a typical retail job. Up to 10 hours doesn't mean it will be normal, it just means they might ask you to work over when your typically flaky co-workers don't show up.

Why would they murder you when you have access to invaluable data they can get from you at any time? If anything they might blackmail you to do future investigations for cheaper, but why would they mess with a good thing? We're talking
