I certainly didn't say anything akin to the recent racist tweets from another Doge staffer, no. There's also a very large unspoken piece left out of your sentence, which is that they are an asset if taught and guided well. Do you

It's been very funny hearing neighbors talk about how the literal billionaire is somehow just a common Boston man and Michelle Wu is an "elitist carpetbagger". How are all these billionaires being seen as relatable and meanwh

Anecdotal, but I see a ton of people who were anti-trump and protesting just a couple years ago celebrating and thanking Trump for saving tiktok and making them happy again. It's wild. If someone banned youtube or HN, I'd be upset

I mean, he's still a nutcase. He can be right about some things for the wrong reasons. If you hit upon a scientifically accurate conclusion through an unrigorous process, basically by pure chance, this doesn't make you a good scie

Safety razors are amazing and life changing. Even if you have something basic it's better for your skin than a cartridge razor, plus it's better for the planet (way less plastic), plus it's way less expensive! I don't kn

This one C level individual failed to do the most important part of the job, which is to build the team of people who have shared knowledge to understand and prevent these issues 100% of the time.

I wish everyone shared your philosophy! I once worked at a company where it was expected to get 10+ pages per day, and worse, a configuration error by a customer success team would trigger an engineering page because the error handling didn

While I agree taxi regulation was done badly, effectively removing all regulation I don't think is the answer. There are huge negative externalities to people who are neither drivers nor riders that should be protected by the law as mu

And enough usage in the general public to have "politician X will ban uber" be a negative campaign position. Same reason AirBnB works despite many laws to the contrary. If you get popular enough that the public will vote against p

What a terrible world to live in, where you can lie to your employees and as long as it's not in a contract, they deserve it for not having the "business skills" to know you could get away with lying.

I disagree. Lots of people are perfectly happy to ignore externalities that happen to others. Just try to get a bike lane put in and you'll see it for yourself. Or as a lovely neighbor put it: "if you die, why is that my problem?&

It wasn't a proper same-origin check - the server code was checking to see if the image was hosted elsewhere, and if so, it would download and self-host it. The code to check if it was on `chess.com` probably just checked to see if the
