Yeah we’d just have to legally mandate its existence…

Oh of course if the CLO runs out of statistical life another would be appointed by the board only from the existing C-suite, even if the board is part court-appointed…

(Hey, friend. I meant this as a lighthearted take. I have no power to write this into law) I don’t think at all anyone should do this cheaply haha. And imagine if the CLO told the board the other C-suite were squirreling secrets away. And i

I like the idea of a Chief Liability (or Lamb…) Officer, a person who serves with the understanding that they’ll be the person who serves prison time for the felonious crimes of the corporation “I’d sign that purchase order, Bill, but our C

HN relatively deweights posts that get a lot of argument without a lot of insight. Things about politics, or tech involved culture war, or continuous divisive news stories disappear from the front page quickly. I would classify that as ‘gen

Can we not keep Musk discussion to Musk threads? There seem to be enough of them, and this sort of comment just attracts cheerleading and booing with no analysis.

I think you think the fediverse is far more monolithic than it is. Gab is there, so are a bunch of trans activists. Their content don't intersect. I don't win if you're unfulfilled in friends and content, you don't lose

In theory, yes. In practice, what legal resources does the average person have to bring a case? How do their political connections compare? Oh, they died, no one saw, here’s a voucher. Have you looked at the odds of a cop getting charged wi

While bodycams are generally a good and necessary thing, a general pattern that's now widespread is officers selectively covering up and turning off their cameras or putting up their car hoods during stops to avoid accountability and

Wow I absolutely love the styling on that page on mobile. When you scroll past the "8 signs of successful musician" guide to the list of musicians, it pins the guide to the top of the screen so you can compare every musician. Real

Square laws are applicable in situations where a traveler can travel from any arbitrary point to any other arbitrary point. Bandwidth isn't considered, but it's definitely the greatest limiting factor for routine human travel toda

I sometimes prefer unittest too! Pytest is very opinionated about how and when it's going to be run. If you want to put a test in say, Jupyter or a Markdown block, unittest is much more amenable to just doing what you want without havi

In this case the result was positive, and it netted the company a very productive team. That type of situation is definitely risky though

I believe the parent is referring more to referral/promo networks. For a positive example, I knew one of my senior managers basically brought 15 people from his previous company, to the point where a comfortable majority of people unde

As mostly a heavy user, most of the time I find emacs quite snappy. Where do you find your package code most throttled? Do you have a top-3 wishlist you would want the core team to put in?

It's interesting for me to imagine explaining this comment to a person in 1995 At the very least I think it relegates people to buckets of either "People who believe tin foil hats give them privacy", and normal people. Either

Generally, any time you have a pairing of an "op" to a variadic list of arguments in a transfer format, you have an s-expression. This method, like many others, introduces a bunch of new characters: - "op", "path&qu

In my experience of psychology/sociology classes, the concept is called a hierarchy and depicted with a pyramid. In practice always accompanying a thing with a metaphor isn't too different from naming the thing after the metaphor.

An inner city road doesn't need to be 4 lanes wide if it's primarily carrying small box trucks to local stores. And I think it's pretty apparent that quite a lot of restaurant employees rely on public transit, or feed a subst

I fully recognize that people exist in shades of gray. However, I also believe that there are actions that people can and do take that put them beyond what contrition could repair-- and Musk hasn't publicly apologized for this, even.

Man but the bad 10% is so rough. The Thai diver situation wasn't some off the cuff rant, that was someone wealthy and influential in concerted effort to utterly destroy someone who had done some good in the world. Intellectual genius b

One could use an argument much like this to argue for compelling other self-incriminating testimony.

I'm guessing it was quite a lot easier to guess who was an outlander if they were travelling through the country. Far fewer people travelled great distances, travel required burdensome preparations, and if you wanted to bring any kind
