Historically it’s a pretty straightforward to argue that pretty well any technology directly enabled human rights abuses on a scale never before seen in human history. Radio, telephones, railroads, you can basically go back as far as you wa

You should probably rephrase because it’s ambiguous whether “himself” is the house or one of the losers. Although maybe that ambiguity is actually accurate.

Curious how you define “top 4 biggest media networks.” If you mean the traditional big 4 US networks (NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox) they’re mostly part of pretty large media conglomerates (i.e Disney, Comcast, Viacom) that are each smaller than FB

In a linked article it’s mentioned that the son’s money is from a trust, so I wonder if there’s some kind of loophole like the Florida principal residence exception.

I suspect the revenue from passengers in this case looks like a rounding error. But the PR and feedback from early adopters is very valuable.

There were numerous temporary hospitals (i.e tents) last summer. Presumably they were staffed.

Can we get the title changed? I thought this had to do with dynamic programming, it’s actually a dynamically typed programming language.

You’re incorrect. People are moving to urban centers, many in the south, all of which meet your your criteria of “tax, tax, tax and waste money.” According to the conservative lens, which doesn’t really grasp the concept of “per capita.” Me

1. Yes 2. I don’t think so. But the way way people describe the geography here is weird. Usually people say it’s the southern end. 3. It’s pretty sprawly, car is king, generally the threat of earthquakes and nimbyism has resulted in low den

levels.fyi has LinkedIn broken out from MSFT even though it’s wholly owned by them. And LI levels seem comparable to FANG. Also GitHub is a subsidiary of MSFT that seems to pay better than the parent company.

I had trouble getting past: "Imagine a heavy, cast-iron kettlebell. If you put it on top of a paper cup, it crushes the cup. Put it on top of a concrete block and the concrete block supports it just fine. But if you lift that kettlebel

Similar. I mostly got tired of switching back and forth.

Is that comparable though? Seems like you're comparing the 2021 Android "experience" to the 2016 Apple "experience."

SF has microclimates and for my preferences the southeastern part of the city (the Mission, Potrero Hill, Dogpatch) have perfect summers. Highs of 65-75, and then at night the fog comes and cools things down for perfect sleep temperatures.

I think “Borg” comes from “Cyborg” which comes from “Cybernetic Organism.” https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cyborg

There is another way to look at it. The conservative agenda (for lack of a better term) has been pushed aggressively for 30 years, well beyond the point where most people reasonably expect it should be. The “liberal agenda” is the pushback.

Or it would encourage politicians to make sure more of your paycheck is withheld, to make 100% sure you end up with a big refund.

I'm actually kind of shocked, but there are plenty of companies that don't give MLK day off. So those companies are probably not going to do Juneteenth.
