You identify with dev and gamer culture and feel that it reciprocates a sense of belonging. Therefore you have no reason to protest; all your interests align and not protesting is the path of least expended energy. The people complaining do

Given the list of what makes an execution person, would be a dumb mistake for someone like that to work for someone else. If you can do it all yourself, others would just slowly you down, seemingly.

Yeah, state-actor scale sabotage was one of my first thoughts. And it gives me no joy to contemplate it. Secondly, the researcher’s attitude sounds high and mighty - making process improvement suggestions when their own ethical compass is i

I would question how much this is also a function of the company or industry in which the union operates. Maybe the company the union negotiated with stipulated such terms, or the union enforces those kind of rules out of an abundance of ca

You can request/demand to be forgotten by services, but a reasonable person can’t expect other people to forget them just because they asked services to do the same. Stored data and human memories are not the same thing lol

I do agree on services sharing banned users data, for safety or compliance reasons. But this should be limited to a set period of time, because the person you were 10 years ago grew up from who you are now and will be in 10, 20, 30 years fr

Disagreeing without providing substantive proof is ~wasted breathe~ just venting neurosis.

No. Unmoderated and anonymous dialog has a way of straying into mudslinging on subjects of political expression. From your suggestion: flagging the “ad hominem part” is moderation and could be open to interpretation if flagged statements ar

When you have that many users, their yearly dues is no longer as valuable to the company and its partners, as user data.

Thank you. I’ve been hoping for a book like this for a while.

No? I did respond with the President’s response, and his response is called fomenting - the reason for the ban in question. > an eventual reiteration that the elections were rigged, they should be furious, but now they should go home and

People branding his flags and hats stormed the Capitol walls and Senate floor, as he delayed an eventual reiteration that the elections were rigged, they should be furious, but now they should go home and that he loved them very much and we

There’s also a mitigating liability aspect to this. If you start providing minutiae detail, you may start revealing pretty big faults that have escaped to prod. People question the safety of your product and now you’re open to lawsuit or at

This is a classic argument for doing nothing, which is a stance promoting existing systems of inequality. Ask government to solve it, they propose paying for services that help lessen inequality with tax strategies that target those most ab

You could also spin this argument to say that testosterone aggression causes people to fail to cooperate and societies would soon fall into chaos as everyone is out for themselves. These pseudo/pop scienciness is poor logic and unprofe

And often every price the dental office provides you is an estimate, as once they enter each procedure’s code the insurance may price that work above or below the estimated price. That’s dental, which often isn’t life or death. If you’re in

This sounds like ennui brought on by burnout, perhaps not necessarily arising from physically manifested work but just overthinking. Totally empathize. Perhaps speak with a therapist to get started. It may not be about rediscovering your lo

The performative sense could have to do with a lack of personal connection to it. It’s a frustration for something not wholly understood, specially when the “performative” express strong conviction. I’m trying to understand how one could im

And then how often over one’s day-to-day career? It’s farcical.

I’m not sure how unique that is, though. Most companies once you’re in doing technical, your peers will trust you to switch teams or broaden out a little. Re-testing a coworker would come off anywhere between amusing and insulting.

Hard to judge without the story published, but it also sounds like the company is frustrated it didn’t get line-editing power. This is in contrast to even showing gratefulness for being alerted about the story’s imminent publishing and prob

I have virtually no cap. But in regards to bandwidth speed. That’s about my marketed down/up anyway. It’s what they sold me, big asterisk, but I usually get 1/5 - 1/4 of that, which is still decent. However, if they have a fa

Yeah. The alternative is they see a lot of big tech regulation headed their way. They preemptively set the rules of the negotiation by pushing their limits that come into question. After that, negotiating down a little makes government fund

I believe it’s a platitude of “fair centrism”, not for its concrete weight but it’s symbolism in addressing “both sides”. Veracity and sincerity come to question, when I see this.

Not disagreeing, but I think calling it political correctness is actually granting those folks too much credit. It was people who were unqualified to process or understand the company’s findings chiming in with pop interpretations, just bec
