Yes hopefully this is people trying to do the “right” thing in the face of a tragedy (whether you think it is the right thing or not) However, even from a cynical pragmatist view the attack causes previously high engagement “viral” content

I was saying the individual app’s TOS typically prohibit hate speech against classes that typically align with judicial cases of what constitutes a “hate crime” against a certain class or category of people

Why would they need to be accountable? They aren’t breaking any laws and they aren’t elected officials... Sure the government could interfere and make more laws and regulate but the typical conservative position would not be in favor of gov

This is pretty lackluster reasoning, it would follow that since Benjamin Franklin was the discoverer of electricity and DARPA Net came from that so.... Taxpayer funding has no bearing on the commercialization of products down the road. It i

This is true for what the government can do legally that infringes on your right to free speech. Yes they can violate your first amendment rights in that case. However, this does not apply at all to private companies. They could, theoretica

Protected from persecution by the government, which means it has absolutely ZERO relevance to the actions of a private company that has its own right to free speech. They can ban whatever they want! They could say “if you don’t use the oxfo

Big Tech Cos have a lot of candidates. A false negative is a lot harder to deal with than a false positive. Sure there are good engineers that are bad at hacker rank questions. But there are fewer bad engineers who are good at hacker rank q

Having a bunch of replies on the thread that don't bother to read the terms of use or the explanation of the ban is spam as well. Spam fighting spam? Spamalot?

I don’t think a lack of concern and thoughtfulness around hiring is an irrelevant or nuanced signal. Having been both a manager and an IC I strongly believe that hiring is of the utmost importance. The same thoughtfulness, care, and respons

No, never this. If the hiring manager won’t be your manager or in the same tree, run. If they cant be bothered to read the job description they put out, run. If the technology is critical enough to need previous experience managers should k

Miraculously I am still on my one and only VP. Had the matte black and it has been scratched and used so the brass underneath shows through, I am pretty attached to it now. I strongly recommend Nanami Papers Journals and other Tomoe River p

If you want the luxury of scale problems down the road you do RoR until you lock down that first couple billion dollars of valuation. Just ask Stripe, Github, AirBnB, Gusto, Shopify, Coinbase, Dropbox, Twitter, Door Dash etc. Then you can h

That’s totally reasonable but just be aware side projects have severe diminishing returns after awhile. Unless you are shipping complex software as part of a team it is not preparing you more. You will still be junior. The exception being i

Overall I agree but I take issue with the Twitter smear. People who were on Twitter saw this coming weeks ahead of everyone else. There is a reason Twitter the company (and square) went full remote before anyone else did and that reason is

I can’t really understand what’s happening here. Getting good at surfing is hard. Getting up on small, mostly foam waves is not hard. Typically achievable your first time out, nobody I know that is remotely athletic has struggled to do that
