The good news is my Acura has a manual transmission so the number of people who can both hack and drive it is a bit more limited at least ;)

Given home prices are what they are now, I don't really think it's reasonable for mid or Sr level engineers making less money than what's required to afford a mortgage

You're 100% right and I see this kind of attitude all the time and it drives me crazy. Especially when people are worried about what others are doing, or complaining about second hand smoke outdoors, etc. People really need to learn to

This is only tangentially related but at some point we need to get over the desire of homeowners in large cities to continue to increase the value of their million dollar homes. This doesn't seem possible at the local level, so maybe t

I'd definitely prefer this outcome but I have a feeling we're going to go right back to where we were before as soon as interest rates come back down. Big tech starts aggressively overstaffing again while VCs pour money into mostl

Many tech companies are both unprofitable and contribute near 0 value to society. Not unique to crypto. Be careful what you wish for, or the only people left paying software engineers might be non technical companies who pay $80k a year.

I’ve been using EndeavourOS lately. It’s less of a distinct distro and more a really convenient Arch installer to get to a usable system quickly. And without all the extra BS of Manjaro — once you’ve installed it, you’re basically just runn

I'm in this group. There isn't really a better and cheaper alternative to streaming for entertainment imo. But cooking is a better and cheaper alternative ative to eating out, so that's where I've been saving money.

This is true, but not because demand for Model 3 and Model Y are much stronger than expected. It's because scaling production is taking longer than expected.

It might happen but it might not happen as quickly as they would like. Recent geopolitical issues have substatically harmed supply chains for EVs. There's a reason Tesla has abandoned their plans for a mass market vehicle and are inste

What you are saying basically amounts to "My political opponents are Nazis and so is anyone who associates with them, so they should all be silenced." And yet you're not taking the extreme position there. Interesting how th

Generally speaking they also don't pay software development well so I would guess they aren't exactly getting the best talent either. I think cars are cool, but I wouldn't take a 50% pay cut to develop software for them.

If they really wanted to make open source more secure they would just pay people to audit & submit fixes to widely used open source software. Of course the reality today is that the opposite occurs -- when federal intelligence agencies

Well in that case...it sounds like Amazon is abusing their position in the market and ought to be broken up into several smaller companies :)

My biggest complaint about velocity is that most people I've worked with don't actually think of it as velocity, they think of it as speed. The vector aspect of it is often ignored, and of course if you're going fast in the w

I don't like the idea of pausing / censoring reviews in general, but its understandable given the hate brigading thats going on with this show in particular. Hopefully they stick to no censorship of reviews/user ratings after

No, I didn't. This is an inherent part of adopting Proof of Stake that anyone paying attention would have been able to predict. The only reasonable possibility is that it's being done intentionally.

This isn't a bug, it's a feature. It's also something Bitcoin maximalists have been warning about for a long time.

While that strategy in general makes sense, energy is much more critical for the buyer than the seller and that ultimately gives Russia leverage over Germany instead. You want codependency that harms both parties as equally as possible

These are all good & fair points. I think in this case "but trying to prevent the discussion from happening does suggest that you benefit from the status quo." would also apply equally to someone trying to silence any dissent

If the system for reporting and handling these cases on an individual basis actually worked then there wouldn't be a problem. The entire point of discussing this is to make those systems work better. Presenting counter arguments is fin

That guy was wrong. He's also looking at it from a binary perspective when that is not how any of this works.

I think we sort of ignore this as an industry because we still look at DE&I primarily through the lense of representation and proportions and not in terms of actual power being wielded for the benefit of an in-group at the expense of th

I've seen something similar from the other side except it appeared to be religious discrimination. We had a new CTO who was Pakistani and not a single candidate we interviewed made it past a phone screen with him who wasn't Muslim

I suppose you could make the same comparison with whites as well, I get that there is somewhat of an issue there because it's so inflammatory to discuss whether these things are fair or even effective at helping people etc. I think the

Not only is it not a good comparison but there's not even a good thing to compare it to, which would be some other form of discrimination happening within the work place that can't be discussed. What you're saying sounds to m

If Google doesn't have a blind spot towards caste bias than why where they unable to even have a talk about it? It seems like it's a topic that cannot be discussed and as such I really doubt it doesn't represent a problem
