With all due respect: you drove up to the an area that was mostly built up from nothing in the past 2 decades, is being developed as a “second downtown” and you feel sad to be out of place? Have you been downtown of any major american city?

This is why I sincerely believe that you can’t really judge a city without living there. Some cities are geared towards tourists, others towards residents and it shows.

Ive lived in Austin and San Francisco. Austin has amazing Mexican food if you know where to get it (Chuys etc. I forget the names because its been so lokg but I can look it up). Tex-Mex is imo Americanised mexican food which doesn’t suck lo

The Author is using some motivated reasoning to justify some prior hypothesis. The paragraph about people not talking about National politics/culture wars is especially BS. I was in Austin in 2016, there were watch parties in bars for

Right, but only regional powers have a real chance of doing that. Before you have a military industrial complex, you need the industrial complex, or at least the capacity to develop one. Smaller countries with scant resources are vulnerable

What you said is all true, but the Nazi thing is almost certainly propaganda. Putin wants to restore the USSR and his justification for annexing Ukraine has been to question the existence of a separate Ukrainian Culture and State. You only

Maybe unpopular opinion: Its actually good that we may not have the industrial capacity to supply large scale conflicts for great lengths of time. There’s a simple solution to prevent conflicts like the one in Ukraine: expand NATO membershi

SOX compliance is a huge PITA but has driven engineering changes that have made the orgs Ive worked at much more secure. In particular, rules that require code reviews, auditing around production deployments, regular patching and exercising

If you’re gonna go with anecdotes, its been going pretty well as Valve with having no hierarchies (aka “devs in charge”). But that sort of conversation isn’t really useful. Study after study has shown employees’ job satisfaction doesn’t sca

I get the impression that a lot of Software Devs buy into libertarian philosophies. I think this is changing though. There’s a lot of people working in tech and with the kind of abuse that’s been reported (ahem, Amazon) we might see that ch

Im not sure that “Unions slow innovation” is true. As a counter: in tech, its the workers that generate a significant amount of value by writing software and building products. Giving them more control and a seat at the table can be useful

This is my biggest gripe. I make an effort to write detailed comments about what I did, what I discovered etc. This is really helpful to reproduce the issues, and a few months down the line it helps to clarify exactly what happened. JIRA te

Not surprising considering housing costs. It would be interesting to see more granular data though; this sort of number is nice for vapid, sensational headlines that generate lots of clicks but don’t really further our understanding of anyt

Ive done this quite a bit and I agree. There is something really amazing about getting intimate with a person you don’t know all that well. Expressing intentions, getting the logistics right, all require a certain level of skill.

Data driven people know that the quality of data and how its collected is important and justifiably dismiss anecdotal data which doesn’t meet those standards. GIGO.

Nah, still not evidence of anything, it’s still anecdotes.

Fair. I guess my point is that it’s the easiest kind of intellectual fallacy to fall victim to, so it’s worthwhile to question your biases. It’s also the least fulfilling kind of conversation, to reject a solution if you personally observe

Every time there is a discussion about ways to remedy a racial issue there is someone posting a “rebuttal” where the supposed remedy went “too far” anecdotally and generalizing from there. Every. Single. Time. Here’s a suggestion: what if t

The reason this doesn’t happen is that farmers/farming lobbies have a lot of political power, especially in rural districts and no politician wants to be painted as anti-farming interests.

Union is not a “mob”. Whataboutism is the dumbest way to make a point.

If the management wasn’t adversarial towards you they definitely were towards others in the non unionized workplace, you probably just happened to be in the blue team.

People like him never really change. Bill Gates did a good job of reputation laundering through his foundation trying to reinvent himself as a “friendly elder statesmen”; then the whole Epstein shit came to light, his wife divorced him etc.
