Usually, when there's smoke there's fire. For example, until now I haven't complained about Twilio or AirBnB despite having major issues with both recently. Most of us stay quiet and just switch vendors. People complaining on

Ah how convenient, that means they don't have to take accountability for the rest of their post being misinformation.

I disagree. American people and sites oscillate between moralism (generally) and prurience (maybe only on the left), and I'd prefer those that are designed as technical platforms to do less editorializing. Not everyone shares a moral c

Totally. Just takes a tiny number of problem users to cause major problems. In this case maybe it could have been handled better by temporarily blocking that repo instead of the whole account, since it was clearly a legitimate dev doing wor

Do we really want Github regulating links in repos based purely on the moral instincts of random support employees? Seems weird. It's just a link, and not even to illegal content (AFAIK, I didn't actually follow them).

This is obviously great for workers and competition. It's actually good for companies too, even if they are too short sighted to realize it. See: silicon valley.

As someone from a dense city with generally smaller roads than NYC (Philly), I think that's untrue. If NYC wanted to do it, it could be done. In Philly, trucks make it down alleys where the roadway is half the size of the truck. Or the

I think this is needed tbh. My fortune 10 company regularly pays our bills after the pay period - like 60 days late on a net 30. And then I, a technical person that just wants the damn AWS bill paid so I stop getting emailed about it, have

You missed the point, which is that these pronouns are explicitly never used when speaking to you. They are not used for addressing you. They are in reference to you, so they will only occur when other people are speaking to one other.

I wasn't advocating for a position, just explaining that they clearly lead (or led) in two big technological advances. It depends on what the company's core value proposition is. Toyota's is clearly a car company. Tesla is no

Well, they are at the forefront of two techs - batteries (which is more traditional engineering) and autonomous driving (which despite the problems, they are still known for).

This title does not match the article. This article / "paper" is barely a stub. No study was done and I don't think this could be called a meta-analysis, but rather a summary citing a few other articles (only 2 relevant

You need people to say no. You should be saying no more than yes in most cases. You have more important, more profitable paths to take.

TSMC is literally building out multiple fabs in Arizona to placate America's wishes, including a 4nm and 3nm process, which is more advanced than any they currently have. > Hell, the incentives don't even line up for shareholde

I'd expect debt instruments to be sold to debtors. Don't count on this.

Bringing up the debt was a useless strawman. The US government is not a corporation, and China definitely doesn't own the majority of the US. China isn't even the largest foreign debt holder either. And foreign debtholders don&#x2

TSMC is a public company. Last news I see shows a drop to 73% of the company being foreign-owned. The biggest shareholders are American. It might be more accurate to say it's an American company that operates in Taiwan.

Any site you grant this permission to could abuse it. The abuse is on the abuser, not the person granting permissions. Allowing the abusive behavior to happen at all - authorized or not - is on Github.

Philly does the same thing. You put your trash out on the sidewalk the night before pickup (or morning). You can put out a bin, but since there's no room to lift them by machine, bags get pulled out of the bin and often get ripped open

Have you really? I worked in an org full of fairly technical non-devs and never had someone ask that. Mostly because corporations usually have no problem paying for Word... and google docs exists.
