Any place that judges you for leaving a toxic workplace is possibly toxic itself.

On the flip side, I was out of a job for about 6 months after being made redundant, the next job I applied for asked, and I was up-front about it. There were no further questions asked. (and I got that job)

I think the key is to be honest, let that filter out bad jobs for you just as much as the employers think they're filtering you out :)

I have not seen much of him, but I did watch a video from Jubilee where he was debating a bunch of people.

In that instance, I have to say I saw no indication of bath faith; to the contrary, he seemed to listen very carefully, and would use the most charitable interpretation of what people were saying. I’d heard a lot of negative things about him, so I was actually impressed. I might not have agreed with him, but he was genuine and respectful.

I think his death is truly a tragedy. I worry about how this will further radicalize the right, and the chilling effect it will have on already chilled discourse.

>He doesn't support the stoning of gays and that's another outright lie. He's pointing out that she can't pick and choose Bible verses because the verse just before talks about stoning gays.

Sure, if you ignore his exact words, the context, and his tone, you can convince yourself of that. Or anything. He says, verbatim:

> It doesn't just say love your neighbor though. It does say love your neighbor except in a sense as yourself But hold on she's not totally wrong when she says first of all The first part is deuteronomy 6 3 through 5 the second part is Leviticus 19. So you love God So you must love his law. How do you love somebody? Here we go You love them by telling them the truth not by confirming or affirming their sin and it says by the way, miss Rachel You might want to crack open that Bible of yours in a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is in Leviticus 18 is that thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death just saying so miss Rachel you quote Leviticus 19 love your neighbors yourself the chapter before affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.

Kirk states Leviticus 19 is "God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters." That doesn't rhetorically serve the argument you claim at all. That is his endorsement of the idea that homosexuality should be punished by death. You are deluded or lying to claim otherwise.

> He's pointing out the hypocrisy of San Francisco letting out people on bail for everything, but if they attack a Pelosi, they can't get bail.

And that's respectful, is it? Really, you think jokes like that can be characterized as respectful? And do you genuinely think men who are witnessed by the police beating an 83 year old in the head with a hammer are regularly getting bail in SF?

How about this gem? What's the ironic juxtaposition he's going for when he says this?

> They platformed a biological male who won a national championship and then was allowed in incredibly disturbing detail to be around you and your fellow competitors. And again, I blame the decline of American men. never should have been, you know, you should have, someone should have just uh took care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s or 60s.

Let me guess, he's saying American men in the 50s and 60s would give trans people hot cocoa and foot massages.

Nope, clearly calling for violence.

The man put hate into the world, and per Galatians 6:7, that's what he reaped.

Right but the purpose of the trip was to attend the business meeting and the person on the trip was also conducting their regular duties as a developer as well.

Attending meetings and conferences are rarely the main duties of an employee but they are the main purpose of trips.

Similarly to how, if you go to Mexico on a Tourist Visa but answer a critical work phone call you would not be breaching the terms of your visa as the purpose of your trip is still vacation. However if you rent a house for 5 months and spend most of that time doing developer work, I think that the authorities there might be a little upset.

It used to be a wink wink agreement between the US and Korea. Yes, Korean companies break rules, but a lot of it tends to be directly related to the terms put in by the government. There’s milestones and deadlines that need to be met to ensure money gets released. But we all know what happens to construction projects here. There were some people definitely working on wrong visas.

Every law has a lot of need for some interpretation. In the past the ESTA Business visa waiver was the recommended way in for short term working trips to the us office. In the past no one really worried to much if they typed a line of code or sent a work email. It’s clearly not in the spirit of the law to enforce too strictly imho.

This new extremely strict interpretation means that the only safe way to travel to the USA for work is on a h1-b or similar heavyweight working visas.

This is fine if you wish to interpret it this strictly. There are of course consequences and as noted by many many non-US people above the ESTA business visa waiver is near worthless under such strict interpretation. Which means no more short term trips to the US office nor conferences or trade shows. The lack of something lighter weight than a full working visa for these sorts of things means the USA is closed for business.

You think there would have been less death if both sides were actively shooting at each other? Are you really following your own logic here?

How did the Confederate uprising go with their arms against the federal government in the US? More or less than a hundred or so deaths? And this was also a country that still had elections.

Do you actually have examples of civil wars in large modern-ish countries where both sides were well armed that resulted in less than 200 deaths?

> The lack of something lighter weight than a full working visa for these sorts of things means the USA is closed for business.

What is “these sorts of things” to you? To me building factories and installing equipment on the factory floor is a different class of work that is generally prohibited under the lighter options like ESTA or a B1 visa. Here is what B1 allows as an example:

Consulting with business associates

Traveling for a scientific, educational, professional or business convention, or a conference on specific dates

Settling an estate

Negotiating a contract

Participating in short-term training

Transiting through the United States: certain persons may transit the United States with a B-1 visa

Deadheading: certain air crewmen may enter the United States as deadhead crew with a B-1 visa

> Is $95 million just cheap enough that they don't want to fight it?

Likely this. Also, the more they fight it, the more press it gets.

Even if no data was sent, the accidental activation is very annoying. I disabled Hey Siri on all my HomePods, because I got so tired of it going off while I was watching TV. Now the HomePods are just speakers I have to manually send music to.

Maybe $95m will be enough to get them to improve the feature so I can enable them again.

Do you believe the results would have been the same under a Stalin instead of a Gorbachev?

This isn't to take away from what Poland accomplished then, or to say that such methods can never work in the right conditions. Violent revolutions against established tyrants do not have a great history. But I have a hard time understanding the belief that these methods can work in the worst of conditions.

This overlay feature sounds attractive. It bothers me that there is no easy traceability or undoability when I perform random system-level Ubuntu configuration file edits to make things work on my system. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Sure I could do the professional sysadmin thing and keep a log book of every configuration change, or maybe switch to NixOS and script all my configuration changes, but something with lower effort would be welcome. Ideally you want the equivalent of "git commit -m<explanation>", "git diff" and "git log" for every change you make to system configuration.

> But if someone is genuinely a threat to democracy we should be able to express that opinion.

All claims I see of a person being "a threat to democracy" are super exaggerated, and almost always of the "a thread to our democracy" (which makes one wonder: who is "us" in that phrase, and what about everyone else?).

Exaggerating threats is itself an incitement to violence. Maybe tone it down?

> I dislike people all bunching up into cities

Are you talking about how certain industries are each concentrated to a small number of locations? That's for good reason. Suppose you were a software engineer, and every five or ten years you had to move across the country for your next job, because almost every single company is in a different city? Suppose you were running a software company, and it took every hire four months to start work because of the move?
by SilverElfin | 2025-09-11 04:27:19+00:00
The Guardian offers no evidence for this. Just a vague claim of some doc leaked from someone. But even that text doesn’t seem credible. Why would it say “not violating his B1/B2 visa requirements”? Which is it? B1 is a business visa. B2 is for tourism. It doesn’t make sense to claim they aren’t violating the requirements of these two very different visas.

When I worked at Salesforce Japan, I went to conferences in the US. I always honestly said it was for business when entering the country. I spent nearly the whole time at the office, and answered emails from customers and clients.

No one asked about visas. I didn't think that was an issue since I really was there for a week for a business conference, but maybe it was? After all, technically it was a "Tourist" visa.

In the end though, SFDC keeps almost all of its technical talent in the US. If the government really got annoying, they probably would have stuck to the local talent and forgotten about the rest of us.

You need some sort of critical majority that cares about deeper aspects of whatever (over superfice) or else everyone focuses on superfice, as that's what all the public debates are about.

But lacking that, lisp could improve its syntax (did that, BTW not hard, just added some containers and a few standard infix operators, which all compile to lists).

Who are "we," and what is it that "you're" not putting up with? The last act of violence comparable to this (against a Republican, that is—two Minnesota Democrats were shot in June¹) was the 2024 attempt on Trump's life, where the shooter was a registered Republican who espoused anti-immigrant sentiments on social media².

I give it better than even odds that the Kirk shooter, if they have any coherent political views at all, is right of centre. That's where all the violent radicalization is happening right now.

> This is why the US has strong protections for speech, so that we don't get arbitrary determinations of what's acceptable and what's not.

The First Amendment is about stopping the government from stopping you from saying the things you want to say. The First Amendment says nothing about social norms. People in this thread are asking for people to tone down the rhetoric, something that seems eminently reasonable. Think of it this way: if you want to insist that so and so are "a threat to democracy", what's to stop them from similarly inciting violence towards you? Generalized violence would not be good for anyone, including those who might currently feel safe from it.

The golden rule is always in effect.

Indeed. That's why I was transparent from the start. As I mentioned, using an API key this way is generally a bad idea. Even if I'm not a bad actor (which I'm not, but you shouldn't trust me), if someone compromises my server and forges requests, they could potentially access your projects.

JIRA's OAuth implementation requires apps to be registered, involves public/private key pairs, and changes the auth flow. That adds complexity and makes setup harder, which is why I opted for a simpler API key setup, you get the API key, you write it down, you can make requests. It is just simpler and does not require JIRA admin rights.

For comparison, JiraTUI also uses the user's API token. The difference, I guess, is that it runs locally on your machine, but they could also send it somewhere else. At the end of the day, it comes down to whether you trust what you're downloading versus trusting what runs on a remote server. It is true that locally you could potentially inspect all HTTPS or even TCP requests whereas in the remote server you don't have a clue.

The thing is, OAuth in JIRA demands app registration and certificate management, so I guess many developers end up defaulting to user API keys as the path of least resistance, even if they encourage OAuth as well.

Maybe I don't know enough about spreadsheets but two dimensions isn't enough for most applications. Maybe pivot tables? They are too hard to figure out. Need something like "SQLSheet" that takes a more complex data structure and presents viewing and editing it in a natural way with drill down and joins etc. AI should be able to help you design the DB and then create a tool to interact with it.

>Do you believe the results would have been the same under a Stalin instead of a Gorbachev?

A little different if you're talking foreign invasion obviously. In Poland's case it was Poles vs Poles and regardless of the level of tyranny, soldiers have trouble shooting their countrymen if they're sitting in a factory.

If the other guy is actively shooting at you though?... The logic is simple to follow.

In some states, the stores are the ones that owe the "sales" tax (which in these states are actually excise taxes that the business can pass through to the customer).

The "tax" the customer pays in those states is the "pass thru" charge. To make things fun, Hawaii imposes the excise tax (on the business) recursively on any tax charges passed thru to the customer.

Democratic Party voters seem to be more aligned with Euro-style socialist policies, but among elected Democrats this is a small minority view.

European socialists usually advocate for direct state ownership of certain industries, sector-wide union contracts, universal (not means-tested) child allowances, fully public health care, wealth taxes, free college, etc. There are a handful of elected Democrats that sign on to some of these views, but these have never been in the actual party platform, since the mainstream of the party roundly rejects these. Democrats are only somewhat radical in certain social/bioethical issues like abortion and LGBT rights (although the latter is being tested, with some influential Dems defecting); otherwise, the better European analogue would be Macron's Renaissance party (formerly En Marche), the UK's Lib Dems, the Nordic countries' social liberal parties.

I don't view civil wars the same way - these aren't individual protestors, but separatist military forces. They are violent by definition.

I did say maybe. Yanukovych ultimately fled - presumably he felt his position was threatened. We cannot know how many more he might have been willing to kill if he did not feel as threatened.

This is not advocating for a solution, only to point out that a committed tyrant can be next to impossible to dislodge.

It doesn't legitimize all police brutality, only whatever amount of it is necessary to keep your job.

And legitimising this is appropriate. The only other position -- requiring people to behave in a way that doesn't meet their basic needs for survival -- would be inappropriate. It is the responsibility of those in power to prevent society from degrading to a point where police are forced to be violent in order to keep their jobs.

Rich people are more likely to pay accountants to come up with complicated ways to exploit the tax system. If the top 5% had access to this loophole, you’d probably end up with some crazy outcome like 80% of money saved from this deduction goes to the top 5% of earners. And that would make the provision more expensive to include in tax legislation (trading off against other things like the headline tax rate). Since “no tax on tips” was a campaign promise, they probably wanted to keep the promise while setting limits to make it easier to fit into the rest of the bill.

I think that's the point.

The kind of individual who shoots someone for saying things he doesn't like is a narcissist.

Ideas anger narcissists because if they are counter to what they already believe, they are a personal affront, and if they cannot reason the challenge away because - quite simply, they're wrong and the other person is right - it creates a great anger in them.

And narcissism is prevailing in our culture currently. People far prefer to call the other side bad, stupid, etc, rather than introspect and consider that maybe you're not that smart, and maybe you don't know everything, and maybe what you believe is actually naive and just a manifestation of your sillyness.

The problem of course is that the only way opposing narcissists can overcome each other is by force. So there'll be less argument, and more go-straight-to violence.

You could just say you know someone at LG ;)

> However, ICE didn't need to arrest everyone. All they needed to do was send a warning. These companies don't want the trouble, they would comply.

The point is to reach quotas. Warnings and voluntary exits don't help with those.

> Now you have many Koreans very upset.

FWIW, the reaction among Koreans (i.e. in korea), especially the younger generation, has been quite mixed. Among age 20-39, only a minority expressed being "disappointed with the US' excessive measures". Among the older groups, the majority did react negatively.

How much did they make selling the data?

If it's greater than the fine, and they suffer no other consequences (e.g. nobody goes to jail) then the fine is just cost-of-business.

The fine must be greater than what they made, AND some executives or management needs to be held responsible - at least fired.

Otherwise it will just keep happening.

What would have stopped the Maidan protesters from being labeled as separatist military forces if they were well-armed? You're drawing distinctions where there are none.

Where do you think the Confederate forces got their firearms from? They just suddenly popped into existence the moment they became "separatist military forces"? They were the people with rights to bear arms bringing up arms against their tyrannical government.

If you trust ice it was a flagrant violation. If you don’t trust ice there’s a possibility these were engineers and management doing consultation and training as allowed but were caught up in minor technicalities of new overly strict interpretations of what counts as work.

I think many non-US residents observing this would be on the side of not trusting ice and are now less willing to travel to the USA for a work trip on a visa waiver.

In March 2023, around the time of Donald Trump’s indictment, Kirk said conservatives are being provoked into violence, and said “we must make them pay a price and a penalty” by indicting Democrats.

There are claims from media/reporters that Kirk made statements about “dealing with” transgender people “like in the ’50s & ’60s,”

Also the famous and now ironic comment that "Some gun deaths are worth it to protect the second amendment."

Who's inflammatory now?

Right.

I don't trust the government and if they are in fact violating the law than I hope that there is recourse, I would bet however that there is a clause somewhere that says that they can rescind status if they like.

However The Guardian's evidence is a couple quotes from a leaked document, not a scan of the leaked document.

We do however learn the worker was from SFA: https://www.kedglobal.com/korean-smes/newsView/ked2022050900...

So probably not doing construction work as some of the claims and only arrived in June so not close to the start term of the B1/B2 6 mo allowed duration.
