I (mostly) liked him before the twitter saga. Not anymore. I liked him because he was working on serious technology that was going to make us better. But this twitter adventure is a real problem. Twitter is his spruce goose. His purchas

Sure, but there is an actual moral distinction between seeking the most by endangering the livelihoods of ~7K-10k(the number of employees, dependents + indirectly supported workers) and seeking the most by ensuring the worlds wealthiest hum

Why is it the entrepreneur’s moral right to seek the most for themselves, but when employees do so you act like they’re children.

If I worked at twitter I'd unionize with the remaining employees.

California law requires 60 days notice or 60 days pay, so I'd assume that's what they'll be getting.

Yes globalism leads to greater homogenization, but the style complaints this article levels aren’t the consequence of foursquare, but the nature of trends at the time. In 2016, Faux industrial was on its way out, but in the 70s it was the

If you’re in LES, I’d really suggest Scarr’s over Joe’s.

I don’t have experience with JWTs, but if you can encode data, why couldn’t you encode a “freshness” time stamp and just invalidate the token after an elapsed time. Does this compromise the encryption?

I was using the phrase “turning the red button blue” as a description of the fundamental toil that goes into maintaining complex systems. There might be thousands of people who find that work interesting, but there are millions of buttons.

It’s fine to say the best engineers want to work on the most interesting problems, and that’s totally valid, but truthfully Google and other big tech companies need an army of highly skilled engineers to turn the red button blue. A simple f

I think people need to accept that any form of communication will result in “radicalization”. This was true of the printing press, the radio, tv and the internet. If the government is concerned with these things, they’ll do better by fulfil

how is this being overstated? It's fairly neutral toned story being published in a highly specific trade journal.

I don’t believe that it’s unique “thing” is pretty widely used in a similar way.

what's incredible about this is that Activision remains an industry leader whereas I'm not entirely sure if Atari even still exists.

Who cares what Chomsky thinks. He’s a genocide denier (Bosnia & Cambodia)and blames the US (via NATO expansion) for the invasion of Ukraine. Let’s be real, no one forces Iran to fund terrorists who murder innocents, to seek weapons of

Are there accounts of the sherpas that you’d recommend (ideally instagram)? That sounds really cool.

The added sound is a travesty. I totally understand the enthusiast perspective, I enjoy f1 and find the sound of formula E to be grating. However intentionally creating and amplifying sound to the point it is louder than an airplane engine

To be fair to big tech/software, it was the thing that me work from home, for some people (like my mother) that probably saved their lives. Not to mention all the digital services I relied on to keep some semblance sanity. I was stuck

I think that overall crime rates can have severely skewed reporting. Homicide rate in NYC is 5.5 vs US average of 7.5, But manhattan's is even lower. The last time the city reported the borough by borough breakdown (2019), had a homic

NYC is generally safer than the rest of America. NH is typically the safest region in the entire country. But the truth is that there are high numbers of relatively rural areas that are substantially more dangerous than NYC. Also, I thi

What are you talking about? I’ve worked in two top tier companies and the most I’ve ever paid for the coverage is $120/month (1 firm I paid nothing). How are you paying $2,000/month at a “top SV employer”. I’ve never had to pay m

I love things like this. There are so many parts of the world that feel hidden from the mainstream view (I grew up in one such country). We go throughout our days ignorant to the many millions who live within these nations and cultures.

Kind of an unfair statement because those buildings are actually in downtown Brooklyn, which is a dense downtown in its own right. I don’t think there are many brownstones in that area. The buildings in the more residential areas tend to

its possible that what's bad for the billionaire is good for the rest of us. They could just maintain these backups in to evade something like a wealth tax.

I don’t believe the historic record shows this to be true. The liberal democracies (all capitalist) of the west have the least amount of censorship in human history. Communist regimes would(and continue) send people to camps, monarchs woul

You’re being extremely naive if you think of yourself as a traitor. If you stopped performing at your current level due to a major life event, most companies would fire you. You’re a resource being expended by your employer. Even if they

I don’t doubt that many have achieved great things in Akron, but was rather arguing that the relative level of opportunity is lower in Akron (median income 23K) than SF (54k) or NYC (32K). The typical person is more economically productive

A big part of the problem is distribution, a home in Akron isn’t as valuable to society as a home in SF/NYC. People are locked out of opportunity (which doesn’t just enrich the individual but broader society though taxes and more effi

Interfaith marriage is illegal (people with money have interfaith marriages overseas), and if you have a child with a married partner of another faith the child will not have the father on the birth certificate.
