No, didn't mean the Gov did it... they just did a ton of shady stuff that lead up to that. It does raise the question of _who_ would care enough to firebomb his house though... I mean, just a few months ago a local gov official literal

I never read the docs (ok, I do, eventually) but I actually never saw that "tidbit" but it just seemed intuitive that having a million classes wasn't good... but that's why I almost always make what I need to make and th

Say what you will about the US, but the UK and Australia seem to be trying to competing in a speed run to see who can reach ridiculous authoritarianism faster. I thought it would the the UK with the way they have literally arrested people f

Yep! I just thought it was mostly funny how a "better solution" is claimed and then after looking at the problem that solution only exists in theory, lol.

This reminds me of an debate I was having with another dev who said python was "pointless" and that there was a better, more elegant way to do things. I asked him what is a better way to quickly/easily stand up microservices&

>Wouldn't it be useful even if people have done criminal acts to let them speak about what they have done? If not to hopefully prevent it in the future, to be able to understand the motivation behind it. Sure. I don't see why

Wow. Honestly shocking the difference in money raised/spent. I bet if you polled the average person, they would guess the exact opposite.

As a cliché independent, I can't imagine the media storm if the 2nd top donor to republicans during such an important election got all of that donation money by essentially defrauding millions of customers. I've only seen article

I wouldn’t be surprised. There were definitely a few bugs. I think ppl unhappy with Elon overplayed things though and now it will look silly. Our expectations were anchored by the idea that Twitter would cease to exist. So very real probl

It was if I was in two realities the other day. I did experience a few bugs but twitter never went "down" for me, despite everyone claiming that 1) it would and 2) it already did. All 10 of the "top trends" for me were

I never really trust the media because 1) I briefly worked with a few and 2) I've seen them report on areas of my expertise and they got so, so many things wrong or misleading. (and this was before our world became highly politicized t

I honestly think it has less to do with money and more the fact they want to save face. They spent the last few years building him up. Whether the pretty generous donations contributed to that... would almost be irrelevant. All I'm s

There's honestly such a clear bias in how they're handling this whole thing. I see the tides turning slowly though. I just don't understand why they're handling this with kid gloves when you see other people absolutely

Ah... I think you've given me the missing puzzle. I will say I don't get sucked into those "one up" wars (I really hate spending money on things I feel are gimmicks) _but_ this makes a lot more sense.

Sure. Not at all happy about that either though. If China also fed its users nonsense, it wouldn't be a very useful weapon.

Agreed. I know several people that think capital gains are "unethical" and would have no qualms about stealing that. They would think they're doing good.

I'll have to watch a doc or something but two quick questions if anyone knows: Was this even in the realm of possibility? What lead her to start this company? Was it 90% scam, 10% "trying" or just 100% scam? Thanks!

You don't have to look any further than the content curation for the US vs China. They feed US users absolute nonsense while restricting that for their own people. It absolutely is a weapon that people need to take seriously.

I will _never_ understand sinking money into a mobile game like that. Blows my mind. Couldn't even be worth the effort.
