I disagree. I think No Fly Lists absolutely need the highest scrutiny, but I don’t know that there’s a good argument for individual airlines to not be allowed to restrict who flies with them, especially given the last few years of nutcase

Absolutely shocking advertisers are fleeing. Cue the whining from “free speech absolutists” who think free speech is them speaking and nothing more.

That seems like an odd takeaway from the link.

That’s a interesting opinion. It seems like saying if you won’t bother bending over to pick up a penny, how can anyone expect you to bend over and pick up a one hundred dollar bill - one is worth the effort and one isn’t. People regularly m

How many people really care about encrypted text messages? Most of the time, I’m sending my girlfriend pictures of our dogs. If I cared about encryption, we’d download something else (or use gchat or whatever). This just doesn’t seem like i

That’s a ridiculous reason to demand an open protocol from Apple. I get that it sucks when you’re in high school and kids are massive jerks about social standing, but this can’t be a serious use case post college, right? Anecdotes about mea

Why are y’all so intent on using iMessage? I (honestly) don’t understand the serious passion behind forcing Apple to open it to everyone. SMS still gets through, and other apps still work. It seems weird to focus so much on this and not on

I’m confused. Do you think that SpaceX, who demonstrably failed to make those arguments, doesn’t know what it’s capable of? Or that they’re not smart enough to explain it? You seem to consistently ignore that SpaceX didn’t even make that ca

I don’t understand the push to convert to residential. Absent proximity to jobs, who’s clamoring to live downtown in just about any city? Maybe downtown SF is still “cool” (for whatever value and age group you want to assign that to) and I

We had home ec in junior high and high school - students just chose not to take it. I’d add that those are 3rd grade “math” concepts - not replacements for actual math courses.

I’d just add to this excellent comment that, when I was in school a few decades ago, we also did essentially no proofs. Geometry was presented as rote memorization (as was pre-calc). I was utterly unprepared for college physics and differen

Is this a serious response? You talked about moving the entire office. Clearly the owner neither wants to live in Bangalore, nor wants to sell the company to someone who does, ergo, the entire business does not move. On the other hand, he h

Exec leadership/management doesn't want to move to India, therefore moving the whole office is a ridiculous non-sequitur that has absolutely nothing to do with the ease of moving a few roles or role-sets. This isn’t a complicated

Yeah, I’m missing the connection. Is he supposed to hold his stock forever? The stock didn’t crash on announcement of his departure, so even if you’re not aware of scheduling, there was no advantage that I can see to him. Smells like outrag

Of course not, unless you move the entire office and all roles. It’s like you’re intentionally missing the point (or at least the stated reason) behind returning folks to the office. To be clear, this is not a defense of RTO policies.

Most remote companies don’t need time zone restrictions, and many Indian contractors are already working weird schedules to at least partially align with US time zones. I don’t expect that every company can outsource every WFH job, but the

No one you’ve responded to is defending Disney. No one is looking the other way. They’re telling you that you’re conflating unrelated things. You spinning that into “actually that means you approved of CSAM” is teenage Twitter bullshit, fra

And if you don’t, who cares. Failing at 23 isn’t fatal and probably teaches you a lot more than mediocre success. Everyone’s so scared of going for something and missing, or deciding it’s actually not as fun or interesting as you thought. Y

Google is selling ads - their search is designed to show you whatever will push more ads. They not only have no incentive to hide SEO nonsense if it has advertising, they are clearly breaking search to push more advertising in the results

Absolutely. $120/year, to me, is cheap to have a search engine that actually, fundamentally works. That it keeps me out of the Google ecosystem a bit more is a massive added bonus. I pay similar to stay out of gmail and the rest of t

by jmye 3y ago
Google isn’t, to all outward appearances, trying to do search well, though. I mean, you can want them to deal with SEO better/differently, but it’s clear the goal is to drive advertising and to do whatever it can to serve you more ads.

Really depends on the company, in my experience. They should be lateral, but especially larger/older companies, the path from, for instance, analyst->sr analyst->manager is pretty defined, and there’s not often a separate path
