either way we need a law so this can be adjudicated and argued, and a legal process. not just the whims of the biggest corporation and oligarch in the world.

i and many others have taken this as a wakeup call that its not safe to build our companies on someone else's platform. hopefully itll have a big enough effect to hurt AWS in the long term but i guess well see.

the bbc is pretty biased. there is no totally unbiased source

i’ve come to the conclusion it’s impossible to be unbiased and to pretend it is, is a total farce. the best we can do as readers is read multiple sources from different sides and try to piece together the truth from it. journalists are 99.5

you haven’t pointed out a logical inconsistency. please point out the inconsistency in my statements: 1. Companies are legally free to ban anyone they want. (in fact i side with right of the christian baker refusing to make cakes for gay we

speaking for myself, i’m not dumb and don’t think it’s illegal for them to stop free speech. but i think we are allowed to be upset and criticize it or call for boycotts and condemn them. that’s our free speech. just like if twitter banned

yes everyone who disagrees with you is a hypocrite and dumb and it’s impossible they may have actual reasoning behind their thoughts. you’re very empathetic

we already knew it didn’t work considering Putin imprisoned the richest man in russia and nationalized his oil company. don’t think the US acrually expected the oligarchs to overthrow china as they are in bed with the ccp.

ironic coming from a country whose source of wealth has been (a large part) natural resource extraction.

https://twitter.com/navalny/status/1347970421161922560 does this make you reconsider at all?

welp, guess stripe is actually evil. that sucks because i considered working for them in the future (had an offer from them before), but guess not anymore. plus their equity vesting structure is absolute trash and doesn't allow employe

so you’d support them say banning anyone who supports bernie sanders? that’s also a physical threat, not a political idea. so don’t get your point

funny how all the #resistance and #defundthepolice folks are actively working with the feds and law enforcement and cheering them on

reminds me of 911 when they took an act they had always wanted to do (patriot act) and used the circumstances to crack down on individual freedoms. this will be the last time i use twitter

imo with such a doubling down on politics and partisanship, reddit is limiting its own audience. just visiting the front page for me is enough to dissuade me from using it with all the cringy center left takes being used on every subreddit

not true. people usually have a large cliff after four years where their compensation goes down. because they ir initial grant is no longer vesting so they go from: initial grant / 4 + (refreshers x 3) per year to: refreshers x 4 per y

its a paradox because they should be slower when they have so many things depending on them and they can't afford to fail. so being quicker would actually be dumb of them.

from my experience at google. everyone is so obsessed with promo that no one does 20% projects because it distracts from their main project and hurts their performance review and delays their promo. its not even 120% time because if you hav

thats great it exists for you but having worked there a while and known dozens of other googlers, ive never met anyone else who worked on one. so for a lot of people it doesnt exist.

agree but you have to look at their plans to do it. their implementation is all about cutting stuff back, not improving tech. that’s why they worship greta and not elon

i know they got the data they needed/wanted but can you really call it a success with that ending? on a side note: how much money do they lose whenever they have a crash landing like that?

says the same people who cry if someone makes a mean tweet or a comedian tells an offcolor joke and calls for them to be deplatformed. how about i argue for them not to censor, and you go to another platform if you want your safe space.
