> what is the right way for him to assert his own moral grievance before this whole matter wraps up? No one owes Replit success. It doesn’t matter what the CEO says, I’ll be using alternatives. There’s really nothing to “wrap up”. Othe

I really respect that the author wrote this post. He may be just an intern but he was trampled on and exposed the true nature of the “leadership” at Replit. I will never use the service again and thank the author for speaking out and this

I’m saying you need to read actual history as you seem to think that starving a population won’t lead to a revolution. > Now, would you like to give me a brief summary of how, biologically speaking, you recon being malnourished fails to

There’s certainly systemic discrimination and exploitation done to the food supply of the poor (e.g. food deserts). Being too fat/lazy to “rise up from the couch” is an ignorant stereotype.

No, not books like that. History books (not pop trash). Books like this: https://www.amazon.com/French-Revolution-Enlightenment-Tyran... Also, cf Japanese rice warehouses in early Tokyo and why they exist.

If you actually study history (not YouTube, history books) you’ll find starving people and human rights violations to be a common cause for revolution.

That’s a ridiculous stereotype. Regardless, how long do you think one can stay obese without food?

Not really. He’s embedded himself in public policy to a dangerous degree. He was advocating to horde vaccines for instance. And like I said, his Epstein stuff was post-MS.

Like I said, Gates relationship with Epstein is well documented. Go read the New York Times or The New Yorker pieces on it. What we know already disqualifies Gates from operating in the public sphere. He met with Epstein dozens of times a

Epstein and Gates relationship is well documented with more being uncovered regularly.

It’s really unfortunate that Bill Gates has the capital for such large scale projects that have a huge impact on society. He made that money unethically, his “charity” has upsides but mostly results in Bill Gates having more control over th

> Maintaining a remote team is significantly more management and communication overhead than simply having people in one place. I’ve managed both types of teams and haven’t found this to be the case at all. In fact, quite the opposite.

“Hallway conversations” were literally the first point the GP made and the person you’re responding to correctly refuted that. They’re an anti-pattern, and if your company is benefiting from them, then they’ve failed in process, vision and

There’s something hyper draconian about a billionaire CEO demanding everyone return to the office so he can see their faces. Apple execs have enriched themselves by capturing way more profit than regular employees (Apple engineering pay is

It wasn’t worth reading the first time and it is definitely not worth reading again. It’s LiveJournal level writing and philosophy. It’s also quite possibly the most banal thing I’ve ever read. I can think of nothing more predictable than

People are “WFH of bust” for several reasons: 1. While some employees legitimately like the office, the push to return there is coming from executives. The motivation is pretty clearly control. 2. For the first time ever, work style is fa

It seems like a great way to filter out any functional adult who doesn’t want to read junior high, 4chan style edge lord rantings. I have far better things to do with my time then listen to a billionaire say “retard” because he thinks it ma

This seemed like it would be very at home on /pol/. They literally spend paragraphs saying “retard” as much as possible. Total edgelord stuff.

Wow, what a terrible interview. It was so bad I thought it must be satire, but apparently it’s real. Andreessen comes across as mind bogglingly ignorant. Who could possibly care what this guy has to say about anything? > Two of your lat

Neat. It feels like there’s space for browsers to “browse” non-html content. This is a great example. So much of my browsing is media based, it makes sense that the web browser should have media controls and features. I wonder if generating
