I think by attributing it do incompetence you're missing the incentives problem. Others point this out, but Google just has no incentives to improve this UX. Think about who makes the decisions to use Google cloud and what criteria the

I have a few different sets of headphones ranging from cheap workout bluetooth ones to the over ear I use for work. None of them have the issues you imply. They all happily switch from phone to laptop to other device, going in and out of ra

Great points. I remember back in (good lord) 2011 when the MRI research was shown [1] I'm very excited about the new m1. While I'm tempted to buy it, I also can't wait to see what they do with it in their pro models. Or what

I honestly don't know why you're being downvoted. I think for some people (eg my oldest brother), the iPhone is "the best." He's not a tech person - and that might be perspective that you're missing. I tend to

I was careful to hedge that becoming a tech hub is not an inherent boon. It "could" be great, but I'm pretty sympathetic to locals being resistant to a bunch of tech cos and workers coming to their area and dramatically chang

That fact that it's hard for you to imagine just means your imagination isn't very good It happens. People leave tech communities because of it. I don't know what else to tell you. I've provided citations to this effect

Of course you don't need a CoC to enforce anything! You can moderate aggressively without one. What it does is sets expectations. It sets expectations for everyone involved in any interactions. In general, this should give you confiden

I think the problem is essentially this: if you're a white male, you may essentially never experience or see racism / sexism in tech. If you are a woman or black or ... you will very likely experience sexism or racism. You will pr

I agree (as someone to left of the wsj median), but it's worth knowing that the editorial desk is an entirely different team from the opinion desk (with different standards etc) Is this good? I don't think so, but it's worth

Without a CoC, it's hard to know who to talk to. Conference organizers are swamped. In another comment I elaborate on what the point of a CoC is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24930887

I can understand how you might think that code repos are different from other social media sites. However, they aren't. They require moderation because people are rude even when not anonymous. Here's a quote from the vscode repo m

This begs the question of who decides the rules of an organization. I want to attend events with rules I like - I might like them because they're fair, I might like them because they ban symbols I find offensive. Ultimately, it's

This is a great response, thanks! I think I agree with 99% of it. I'll take the rest of this comment to note that elsewhere I'm lauding codes of conduct because they are lighter-weight than certain legal processes.

by wrsh07 6y ago
I actually disagree The whole point is that the legal system is very slow, very hard to report to, and in some cases actively discourages assault / rape claims. CoCs can do better because they don't require as involved of a proc

I think in your cynicism you've totally lost all meaning and purpose of the code of conduct It's not a piece of legalese with which you can bludgeon people to get your way (I mean it can be, but that is not and should not be the p

I'm not going to provide a better response than geocar, but I have two things to say: 1) I really wanted to give out the free advice that people should plug their yubikeys into their monitors. Get two so you can have one in the monitor

Ways they could solve their problem without significantly compromising security: 1. Plug the yubikey into the monitor 2. Use an extension cord (as they did) 3. Switch back to an otp app (eg Google authenticator or Duo) 4. Credit to conk [1]
