It is a bit of an art to separate those who are discussing a point for sake of clarity or persuasion, from these bastards whose only goal is to get a rise out of you or consume your time with their own amusement. Disengaging from those conv

Well, that's a bit broad interpretation of 'manipulated'. If someone legitimately didn't know that there was more recent information, and made that post, it would be reasonable to post the more up to date info in whateve

Not so bad an analogy... Venezuela is suffering just so.

He personally benefited by the increased share price of the company, which would have been vastly less if the policy choice had gone with fiber, which is the obvious choice for an infrastructure _upgrade_. Personal financial gain by abuse o

So... if he hadn't pushed for copper and instead did the 'better for society' fiber solution, the company wouldn't have been worth nearly as much, possibly much less. And those stock sales would have been much less profi

Hooray for Goodhart's Law... Now all we need to do is convince marketers and advertising that it applies to them as well.

Sure - it's the one that's firewalls all the way down.

I don't think there's much overlap between "managers who select developers who can be controlled" and "managers who are receptive to new ideas".

At the start of shipyard periods, they will have unloaded just about all embarked equipment, the planes would be based elsewhere nearby, fuel stock unloaded to minimum levels, all ammunition stores unloaded, the spaces to be worked on would

> we don't use it for tracking True, you're just facilitating, not profiting. Such a clear and obvious good reason to drop support and walk away.

So do what the GP was hinting at and drop support for Facebook login, drop the SDK, wash your hands and sleep better as well.
314.
by zentiggr 6y ago
An SDK that large must have an obvious signature. Block it. Don't allow the files to install. Block all communications. Ban it completely except in the Facebook authored apps. Q. E. D.

Sounds like a good reason to stop trying. A bit of snark but also maybe stop trying to use a data collection engine to leverage anything for yourself?

Would you rather be on life support, incoherent, for years, because of the lack of a right to choose... Or be able to choose what quality of life below which you prefer to pass on and not endure constant indignity?

Maybe its VCs responsibility to respect what they say in public and give disadvantaged founders the extra support and consideration they said out loud in public? Companies can't be doing plenty if they say 'we will help this imbal

And VCs who stated in public that they were open to changing their criteria and actually helping that less experienced founder flat out didn't live up to the words they said in public. That's what she called out very specifically.

How about the idea that there are implicit biases in all three of those variables and her experience proves how much they multiply?

So first time leaders are out of luck, or have to be stellar. Gotcha. And women even more so, not because of any inherent differences in anything but the selection process biases. Women of color even more so, not because of any inherent di

Hadn't heard the name but glad I did. I was going to look for a live CD distro with good NTFS read support for the old drive recovery. This sounds good.

by zentiggr 6y ago
Fair point, but honestly I'm in the "don't have enough time to Gentoo this build" category. If I know I can avoid Snap crap by changing distros for now, that's what I have a timeslice for.

I have a laptop that I'm planning on rebuilding from a failed NTFS/Win10 system to Linux something. Now I know it's not going to be Ubuntu or anything else derived from Canonical.

I don't run any APT based distribution right now but I understand the issues... I think the biggest problem I see is Canonical developing what looks like a very useful tool but holding it proprietary. If Canonical provided the snap cre

Or maybe even make the project, leave it off per user by default and include directions on how to opt in?

What does their export market and foreign currency reserves tell you? (I don't know myself, just suggesting the points of leverage.)

I'm not personally knowledgeable enough to suggest how this would behave in geometric algebra, I'm just smart enough to think that this would behave much cleaner in that framework. Would really like to have that free time to delve
