Unless I am mistaken in my reading-between-the-lines, he is upset about the volume of discovery in the State of California lawsuit against Amazon where he has been named an expert witness. The volume of discovery would be completely normal

We are past the point where sigils are useful for a modern compiler or machine interpreter. A limited ability to avoid collisions with "reserved words" ... would be more of a mis-feature than a feature. The value of a sigil is fo

Is the problem that Google's existing customer base doesn't want the restrictions of GDPR, so Google is tying itself into knots trying to achieve the impossible? Or is it simply that the concept of "an American company proces

It is disappointing how all the "union victories" these days seem to involve under 100 employees, and are often motivated by "fake" grievances such as the end to temporary pandemic policies.

I continue to struggle with the various reasons people seem to insist these days that being allowed to be successful is a bad thing.

This misses the point. The limiting factor for solar isn't real-estate. It is inverter production, battery capacity, interconnect, ... basically all of the parts of turning solar energy into grid electricity other than the land for s

I commented on this 18 months ago: https://www.newslettr.com/p/when-do-they-learn-algebra As time passes, it looks more and more like policy in SFUSD is being set by various individuals whom, for their own reasons, thi

Call me jaded, but I am tired of these doomer takes. It seems like every place on earth is filled with "unique biodiversity" these days. And Musk's unwillingness to do years of extra "safety precaution" studies, bi

15 years ago, GFS had "bytes" quotas and "files" quotas for internal users. That doesn't matter directly here, but a file-count limit is an extremely natural thing to have from an operational perspective. Clearly G

Not sure if this is canvassed voting, or a ton of people reflexively vote up anything negative. Based on the entitlement throughout ("rescinded my offer" when the interview process clearly hadn't completed), I'm not surp

Hacker News is full of people who believe anything they read on this site if it fits the narrative, even if it is from a throw-away account that clearly doesn't understand the banking system.

This isn't "you can't run Twitter with half of its 2021 headcount". This is "Elon Musk is deliberately mandating bad software engineering practices". I will decline to speculate whether that is out of malice o

If inflation is high and expected to remain high, it would make sense to purchase things now rather than to wait for them to get even more expensive.

The other problem with the survey is: if I think "it's okay to be white" is a stupid slogan used mainly by trolls, do I "agree" with it or not?

This is ridiculous. I'm getting downvoted for this, despite the various comments demonstrating that they aren't sure why WMF is involved either. My recollection from reading about this way back in 2016 was that it was about commu
