I haven't been in a position to proscribe process, I'm just a consumer. We have tried leaving messages in Slack but that process always ends in a matter of days from disinterest.

I think it's mainly that was is messy and hard to report on in the moment. There's propaganda coming in from all angles, of course, muddying the water further. FWIW Washington Post reported on Russian success in Lysychansk just th

Slack huddles have poor ergonomics what with their use of global keyboard shortcuts. I avoid them whenever possible.

It's too bad we don't know the names of the other companies that bid for the rights, not the amounts. They might be just as bad as the winners.

Further, people are too quick to dismiss the culpability of engineers in the design and implementation of these technologies. It was programmed by software engineer; people like many of us on HN. This should serve as a cautionary tale for u

To me it sounds like a 70 year old talking the way they think 19 year olds talk.

> Soon your bill will be linked to how much you make. So if you're in the top half of income earners, then you'll be charged more. That's already the case where I'm at (not California). The electric bill often comes w

I'd be interested in reading more about this. A lot of the cost of medicine is overhead interfacing with insurance providers and all the layers of profit therein, but I don't know exactly how much.

Have you read the relevant research on the subject?

We're using Bitwarden for this, on the free two-person organization. It works pretty well when we remember to save passwords to shared folders.

In addition to all that you said about key management -- if you do manage to leak your keys and you chose a bad passphrase good luck proving to anyone that any correctly signed transactions were fraudulent/performed by someone else.

Your citation doesn't entirely support your argument. The court said "[vast] economic and political significance." This seems like a power grab by the court because now they and they alone can decide what has "vast signi

I haven't found it yet, but Twitter only shows me two or three replies at a time. Seems like this post should have just linked to that.

I think I'm missing all of the context. Who is this person? How do we know he was fired (or worked for the company)? All we have here is a video of someone talking to camera and no other information. And yes, I did search, and the only

If I got banned, I don't know what I'd do first -- open a bottle of champagne or dance a little jig?

I'd love to have multiple windows. At some point in the last few months Slack broke the command-up/command-down shortcuts that would take you to the next conversation with an unread message -- if you restart it'll work for a

That does make sense. Of course it's the result of lobbying and not some high-minded concern about privacy or espionage.

I didn't like Trump but that wasn't why I was opposed to the TikTok ban. I was opposed because it was pointless and stupid. If we want to ban Chinese businesses because of human rights abuses, fine, let's start banning import

IME it's a sign of one developer doing their best to get a system up and running well enough for business to get by (basically a MVP) and business not providing the staff necessary to improve upon it until it is too late. Maybe it need

If China really is as bad as all that (and I think it probably is) why are we wasting any time or energy on TikTok? It'd be a lot more effective to sanction China over those human rights abuses than to ban some toy app.

And then there's Mary Miller (R-Ill) who celebrated the ruling as a victory for white life. She claims it was just a mistake, but she's also the person that used a quote from Hitler in a campaign speech so "who knows." I

Alternatively it's "we would have made a profit this month but a bug in this one service chewed through our budget in one hour". Sure, you might be able to get a refund, but that's no way to plan a business.

That's what makes it a wedge issue: there isn't much room for compromise. If one side believes abortion is literally murder, they're not going to say "well, a little bit of murder is OK if we get <foo>".

It's a wedge issue where neither side will give any ground, which makes it exploitable. If you figure out a way to tie a wedge issue to the rest of your political platform you're virtually guaranteed support from one side or anoth

"I will, begrudgingly, acquiesce to your demands. But know this: I hold you all in contempt." Good way to generate business for resume reviewers, I guess.

I think the same arguments could be made if you swapped in-person for remote (nearly) throughout. There are those of us who prefer remote work and have been told that we must spend dozens to hundreds of hours a year just commuting in order

Don't worry about climate change causing the sea level to rise. If your land is at risk you can always sell it and move, right?
