I think you're both wrong :-) GP is wrong because Magnus won this tournament – but he did lose to Pragg three times along the way. But I don't think you can say you are "losing well" when you congratulate the silver m

> A non-productive worker is probably worse than no worker at all. There's no "probably" to it. Offering a fired employee the right to stay around until their time is up is a mindbogglingly stupid idea. It's a recipe

Do you really think you'll get quality work from someone who knows the clock is ticking & they'll be out in 12 weeks? From someone who is going to be busy looking for their next move? And that's ignoring the chance that

This analogy is likely based on a pair of complimentary theories in criminology. The first is that criminals commit crimes in an area they know, so their activity is distributed close to home. The second theory essentially says “yeah, but n

It’s this: western standards of living are fueled by armies of child laborers picking our cacao, coltan mined and smuggled out of conflict zones, abused sweatshop workers sewing our clothes, and barrels and barrels of oil to move the machin

Go to any gym with a focus on weightlifting (ie: not a Planet Fitness). Lift weights. Strike up a conversation with other people who lift weights. Soon a new world of injections and supplements will be yours if you want it.

I did phone support for a dial-up ISP 20 years ago. I can still remember their IP for www., as well as ns1. and ns2. And I’ll probably take the root password to their RADIUS server to my grave.

Funny, I have always seen “work as community” to offer an illusory connection at best. At its worst it is exploited by employers. My coworkers are my colleagues. I don’t mind sharing a beer with them once in a while, but apart from “work” w

Oh man, this is been my exact experience. You can pretty much chart the growth of a company by watching how much marketing is done with in house teams and how much goes to external agencies. And as soon as the external agencies are involved

I’ve heard the idea of “competing jurisdictions” advanced here: run your own Wireguard VM in China or Russia and route traffic through that box, with the goal of essentially introducing unfriendly international borders in your traffic. Idea

Morally speaking? Yeah, you should probably not use those banks if you care about the ramifications of money laundering. Practically speaking? HSBC laundered $881 million in 2012 – but they had trillions of dollars of assets under custody

It’s a gray area. These sanctions went against Tornado Cash, the entity. Does that extend to core devs? Anyone who did a PR? That’s the question GH’s counsel has to interpret. > deletion of accounts seems more like a CYA move than a stri

That license binds people who use the code you wrote & protects you from their legal claims. OFAC isn’t using your code. No open source license is going to protect you from US sanctions. From the Twitter thread it appears that the devs

Because others are answering you in much more detail, I’ll give them more generalized answer – This is quite simply not how a sanctions regime works. The US government does not make a list of all the sanctioned persons’ assets, then start g

Dad’s hate “Chinese crap tools?” Say it ain’t so! The average person that says “I need a chainsaw” will likely be well served by renting one from a home store, or buying a cheap one from Harbor Freight. They’ll probably use it a dozen time
