Germany's bigger problem is caving to the anti-Nuclear sentiment, which, sure, NIMBYs (or environmentalists as they call themselves today) had a hand in defeating.

The top results of your google search for me is from Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank PAC. There's better data on this. The Ninth circuit has had the most cases heard by the Supreme Court, and over 79% of its deci

Sometimes I wonder if all the security features GitHub slathers on top of `git` lull people into a false sense of security when fundamentally they're working in a fully distributed version control system with no centralized authority.

Prisons serve many purposes and rehabilitation should be lowest priority of them, after incapacitation, deterrence, and retribution. Prisons are for society’s benefit, not for prisoners. If inmates can be rehabilitated, great, but all those

The point is, people shouldn't have the right to shove something in front of you that might inspire you to iterate, remix, or derive from that, while penalizing you if you act on those ideas. Intellectual property is mind-policing. Its

Yes I want congress to write, debate, and vote on legislation. I don’t want to abide by a dictatorship of an unelected administrative state.

Yep. I loved clojure’s spec as it was really easy to build around and then I moved to elixir and found that I have to… drop down to an old erlang library (propEr) to write tests like that. Pretty disappointing.

Your understanding of these issues seems entirely colored by incendiary headlines and the communities around them. If you want a deep dive into Supreme Court rulings and what they actually say, give the Advisory Opinions podcast a chance. S

Essentially the only thing this study is saying, without the social psychologists themselves realizing it, is that people who stick to their views despite a majority of their peers disagreeing with those views tend to be ostracized from soc

The only reason our 2000-employee company switched to Teams was because it was cheaper for the decision-makers (who to this day only use email - seriously!) than paying for slack. It was the only reason. The calculus is not based on feature

Event organizers shouldn’t centralize on Facebook. A substantial number of people I know under 40, myself included, have deleted Facebook or logged off indefinitely (my spouse still has it so that’s how I found out.) The meetup I regularly

That seems like a much better discussion centered on the research. The article above has an ad every other sentence, only has a little pertinent info entirely in the first paragraph, and doesn’t even link to the paper it’s talking about. Th

First time in recent memory that I’ve been totally blown away with a macOS announcement. I’m excited for a majority of the features here. Maps, tiling, smart reader, info extraction.

At the macro level, landlords and property owners stand on one side opposed to developers on the other. Developers are incentivized to add housing supply and the others are incentivized to secure it against competition. Tenants _should_ sta

I’m aware. And the company has shown its market-driven motive to be superior in pursuing these goals to the “micromanage-to-death” motive of a reactionary yet uninvolved board. Like imagine if chatgpt was held back where would openai even b

This is painting by broadest brush imaginable. Boards routinely hold back the success of organizations, and ousting those boards can be in the best interests of the company. This is pure idealism. Some companies are better with passive or a

Activist boards are not good, and this was a successful strategy to oust a board that would have micromanaged and ultimately hindered the company’s success. I think Altman did the best thing for the company and hopefully the new board will

This is a straw-man argument and a false dichotomy. It is in fact good for society to not tolerate weeks of illegal property occupation, wanton destruction, mob rule, and harrassment of the certain people public on “free speech” grounds. Th

First, you did not answer my question. Let that be clear. A protest is not a hostage taking situation, and when you treat it as such, don’t be surprised when laws that apply to all of us all the time are sometimes applied to your protest. W
