The city has consistently shown they're unwilling to do this. Getting a CCW is something you as a citizen can do now. Personally, I'm in favor of having an option other than being a victim.

I know that several average (non-connected) people have received their CCW issued by San Francisco, which would be absolutely unheard of before Bruen.

Should we take them away from the cops as well, so only criminals can have them? Or should we allow law abiding citizens to defend themselves, so you have an option other than becoming a victim?

I asked llama2 why I should use it over chatgpt: " llama2 and chatgpt are both powerful language models, but they have some key differences that may make one more suitable for your needs than the other. llama2 is a more recent model, a

True, I think if they fought today Zuck would win. However, given enough training, Musk can close the gap. If he trained hard and they fought a year from now I'd put money on Musk, hands down.

The thing is you can use all of these for different use cases. I have a car which I take to anywhere I can park easily (which is a lot of places in the city if you avoid downtown). I don't own a bike but I know many who do, and just ta

Spicy take, but isn't this kind of a blessing in disguise? Plastic in this form wouldn't be disturbing the ecosystem as much. This is better than microplastics being found in fish or choking turtles.

This felt especially like a middle finger to employees because it boosted the stock price exactly during the 1 week window that determines how many new RSUs will be given to employees as refreshers for the year. Higher price = less shares.

Official perf reviews recently switched to yearly, but there's a "touchpoint" every three months, which is just a very light perf review with no ratings/direct outcomes until the annual one

Terrible idea. What incentive do restaurants have to increase their wages to make up for lack of tips? They restaurant owners are already not getting the tip money. Net effect is just going to be poorer servers and richer restaurant owners.

Kotlin. Seems like the true successor to Java rather than Go. Comparable speed but much more enjoyable than Go due better type system, quality of life features, and the massive ecosystem of Java.

When layoffs are common, a new one isn't news. It's a great time for companies to offload unproductive employees. If they did layoffs during a bull market it'd draw a lot of attention and negative PR.

Interesting, I was going to come here to say the exact same thing. Rust if you need the performance/low level features, Kotlin if not. I think Kotlin's niche overlaps with Go but just so much more pleasant to use, I really wish it

Tiktok is not banned in China, it's just rebranded as Douyin.

Realistically I think most of the TikTok content creators would go over to Reels and the net effect on attention-destroying time-wasting would be small.
