I think it’s really hard for people to shake the old work ways. Once we went fully remote my whole department fully embraced flexibility. And guess what productivity was good and work was getting done. People worked all kinds of work hours to either care for children, sleep in, do whatever who cares. I’m more productive in the afternoon so I log in late morning. I could log on and get nothing done but I’d rather sleep in. There are no expectations to respond to messages in off hours. You get to it when you’re working. You are not expected to work extra. It’s taken a bigger adjustment periods for some of my people but we are getting there.
Sorry, what makes them scummy? Because they want random squatters who are stealing stuff and not paying, while dealing drugs to not be in their accommodations that they created?

This kind of comment is exactly why “we can’t have nice things” when low-life’s are always defended, while those of us who actually meaningfully contribute to society are burdened to pick up the pieces and put up with illegal behavior.

Your sarcasm actually doesn't fix anything, but, for all your sarcasm, you apparently didn't read very carefully.

I pointed out it appears to not solve any problem that currently exists, yes.
But I also qualified it by saying it doesn't solve a problem that people seem likely to have anytime soon, ie the future, either.

So the latter statement you try to prop up doesn't change anything - it does not have obvious value compared to today's standard, but it also doesn't have obvious value in the future, either.

So no, the latter statement is not a thinker in comparison. In fact, as i said elsewhere, there appears to have been zero diligence on product/market fit. This appears to be something that was done because they could, not because anyone actually seems to want it.

Good luck on turning that vision that solves nobody's problem into a thing anyone cares about!

> I couldn't care less about what this one individual has done.

Tough. If you lay down with the dogs, you wake up with fleas.

If you post Donziger's personal tweets about Chevron, then it's about Donziger, not just Chevron. It's about a case which arbitrators in the Hague called "the most thorough documentary, video, and testimonial proof of fraud ever put before an arbitral tribunal." This is a case about blackmail. This is a case about bribery. This is a case about fraud. This is a case about racketeering and corruption. You have set it up so that "the rainforest" gets to fight with all that before it even gets to fight Chevron.

This is like complaining about real problems in social media moderation by posting the tweets of Josh Hawley, Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump, the complaining that people object to the messengers, instead of the underlying problem.
I find it amusing that there are (at the moment) 8 comments that label this "stealing", as does the submitted Tweet, with no one objecting to that terminology.

Whenever such usage comes up when movie or music piracy is discussed any such usage is quickly objected to.

Anyone want to have a go at trying to distinguish the two?
How to deal with my startup stock options?
I started at a small but growing startup about 8 months ago. I know that equity was in my contract and I hit my "vesting cliff" soon. The trouble is, I don't really know what all of this means.

I left equity at my old startup job because I'm not even sure what it means much less how to cash out on it. We hear so much about startup equity and how it can be "life-changing". Is this ever really possible? Do most startup employees leave their equity on the table?
I on the other hand prefer the internet post social media, in which I would include HN and similar.
How can I help make sure the people who could sue because of this actually do?
Modifier keycombos are often harder to use than simple keypresses. First of all because it involves two hands (if touch typing) and second of all because you have to coordinate the hands so that you type the combo in the right order (e.g. control before C).

“But the home row.” Right. And that’s sometimes a plus. But (1) moving your hands a bit is often not a big deal (unless you have to go back and forth a lot—then I think it’s a drag), and (2) even if things like using the (F key layer) arrow keys might be comfortable, it might not be comfortable to have to use yet another modifier key in order to use common functions like move-by-word (e.g. Ctrl+Left) or even move-and-mark-by-word (Ctrl+Shift+Left).

It’s not an objective win either way. So you definitely cannot just say that it “isn’t a big deal” as if having to use another layer has no cost associated with it.
What is the advantage of this over a static site that is hosted on the internet in the traditional Web 1.0 way?

How much does this cost to do?

Interesting. I'll just have to read it I guess. Is this sort of a scientific gold standard on that 99% consensus I hear about?
I think a direct war between the US and China is as likely as a direct war between the USSR and the US was. I.e., it is extremely unlikely.

There is no way for either side to win and, worse, since both sides are nuclear powers such war would mean mutual annihilation like in the good old days of the cold war. Therefore, it won't happen.
It’s true. Spend a few minutes reading comments on major news sites’ articles and they’re always full of people making up theories that the article directly contradicts.

Nope, you are wrong. There have literally been supreme court cases about free speech rights of students.

Thanks for that.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is whether or not private keys can be stored in HSMs with age. I'm guessing since the authors recommend against password-protecting private keys that the answer is "no" but that's one reason that I pick GPG for things.
I'm aware of some possibly related notions in the context of speech.

That is, there are distinct modes of speech:

- Dialectic: aimed at arriving at truth or understanding

- Rhetorical: persuasion

- Imperative: directions or commands

- Phatic: social context only, such as greetings or farwells

- Performative: speech which of itself performs some action, as in "I do" in a wedding ceremony.

- Narrative: telling a story.

- Descriptive: relating a fact, scene, or event.

Et cetera.

I'm not quite sure what you have in mind as "types of thoughts".

The field of psychology, and subfields of cognitive psychology and ideation might be closer to what you're looking for. (I have a heck of a time formulating useful queries / questions on psych topics myself, for some reason.)

See e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideation_(creative_process)
>nothing can beat the ease of use of native product, built for the platform

Yes, you can. A "native" port of Among Us would literally not be better than using proton to run it.
They're kinda pushing for that (like every other tech business, sadly - and I get it, everyone wants to have that sweet subscription model cash flows), but you still have an option to run a local controller without any cloud nonsense, just have to click some small link beneath some form.
Again, no.

They specifically said that it has advantages over current apps, and compared what happens with your current apps when you don't pay your AWS bill.

They then later, after lots of comments pointing out that nobody cares, said "well you can't really compare it to any of those things".

You seem more sane in the sense of what you think this stuff will do.
Facebook Marketplace is also really convenient.
Being aware of biases is difficult in an attention-starved society, where specific opinions and confirmation biased news reports are pumped to social media with a Denial-of-Service-like frequency. Tribes have formed. We've gotten to a highly polarized society where every answer begins with "But they...". The most hardcore partisans I know follow and share news to essentially keep up with and mock what "They" are up to.
I particularly avoid discussing politics with family and friends. I've started to tell my family and friends that there is no "They". There are only individuals. I'm also fairly convinced that roughly 5% of the population is insane, although the more political you become, you start to believe that number is closer to 50%.
> Anecdotally, Americans across the spectrum are at least weary of China if not openly hostile.

I don't think so. Just look at what Americans buy. Money talks. Lip service doesn't count.

>on an individual level, I don't think it's that's dramatic.

the frog just doesn't notice the boiling. For example how discussing Chinese origin of covid got branded as racist in the public mentality - i think that branding is a great PR success pulled by China which as a result turned public attention away from and severely eroded public support for covid origin investigation especially in the earlier days of pandemic when evidence/witnesses may have still been available.
You don't give a shit because you're happy to see Facebook silence opinions you don't want to hear.

What, you think a tech monopoly will always be on your side? Or that someone will care when news that YOU care about will be censored / defeated / fake fact checked?

You're just a propaganda cog with such an attitude, no better than dumb antivaxers who don't care about facts either.

You didn't really give any legal perspective. Either Facebook owns the content and the liability as a publisher, or it's a platform and shouldn't fixing content towards what they want to show.
It is not possible to collect party affiliation of those who die of COVID. County level is the closest we can come.

Republican voting counties are 60% vaccinated. Democratically voting counties are 91% vaccinated. Covid vaccination is known to be 90+% effective at preventing death from covid. Covid deaths in Republican voting counties is 5.5X higher.

That should be enough for party leadership to start realizing it’s bad strategy to encourage your most vocal supporters to behave in a way that will literally kill them.

But, heck. I’m not a political strategist so what do I know? Maybe killing their people is part of some devious master plan I can’t figure out.
In every cult I know of, the worshipped man is physically present to benefit from the worship and control the followers.

Christianity didn't really have that, ever, even if you take the Gospels as sober, rigorous history. They claim that Jesus ascended to heaven a few weeks after his resurrection.

So, I think that's actually a significant differentiator.

I seemed to have missed the part in the article where the author explains why long rituals matter.

If you want an answer, I think it's because they help us cope with death. By participating a ritual that predates us and outlive us, we feel like our actions help maintain something that will still be there when we are gone. We commune with the ritual to be part of something bigger and longer-lived than ourselves.
During the time of a polytheistic roman empire, Christianity was literally a cult, and an underground one at that. Judaism and the Roman pantheon had more adherents. Outside of the Roman controlled spaces, Zoroastrianism certainly did, as would Hindu and Buddhist faiths. Probably more Celtic believers.

The transition from cult to state church must have been tremendously affirming for some, but probably accepted with resignation by as many, for some time.
The rest of the world can just email them. It's not like facebook employees are cut off from the rest of the world.
The same thing happened to me in 2019. I fought hard for a while and then gave up. I thought maybe I could drum up some public support (and work my way to a facebook connection who could restore it) by blogging about it and posting here...but nobody cared.
Donziger managed to get a 9.5 billion dollar judgment against Chevron, therefore from Chevrons perspective even if they spend 9.4 billion fighting the judgement and destroying Donzigers life it'll be worthwhile if successful.

Donzigers treatment is a warning to all who dare take these companies on, they have no problem causing billions to suffer the impacts of climate change if it benefits their shareholders, destroying your life to save a few bucks won't even be a question to them.

They could just provide legal support without being the plaintiff. They have done so before (or rather the Software Freedom Conservancy (Conservancy)):

>That is how the FSF and Conservancy have always handled compliance. The FSF has done compliance work for the GNU Project for decades, and in all that time, we have only been forced to file a lawsuit once. The suit came about after years of working with the violator trying to correct their compliance. Even in that instance, where the FSF eventually did have to sue, the violator later went on to become a contributor to the GNU Project, and continued other free software activities as well. Conservancy has a similar track record of avoiding lawsuits; they are currently funding Christoph Hellwig's lawsuit against VMware in Germany, which marks the first time Conservancy has ever been involved with a lawsuit regarding Linux, and their FAQ explains the lawsuit came after four years of friendly efforts by many parties asking VMware to follow the GPL's requirements.

https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2016/fall/the-role-of-lawsuits-...

>Conservancy maintains this FAQ list regarding Christoph Hellwig's lawsuit against VMware in Germany over alleged GPL violations on Linux as a service to the Free Software community, and in particular, the copyleft community. Conservancy realizes this lawsuit generates many questions and interest from the community. Legal counsel (both Conservancy's own, and Christoph's lawyer, Till Jaeger) correctly advise us to limit our public comments regarding specific details of the case while litigation remains pending in court.

You're not alone, a lot of people don't understand the contract they sign (myself included). The first thing to know is that the contract isn't designed with you in mind. It protects the company by default. There are companies like secfi (https://www.secfi.com/) etc. that specialize in answering questions and have lots of free content

As for whether it can be "life-changing", yes. I know a number of people who are liquid/paper multimillionaires from startup equity. It's one of the few ways to build a ton of wealth. Hard to get this rich on salary alone

TLDR on equity is try to get a 10-year exercise window so if you leave the company before a liquidity event, you're not forced to come up with a ton of cash to buy them out or give them up: https://www.productlessons.xyz/article/how-stock-options-for...

Nearly all employees leave equity on table by virtue of not staying for 4 years, but many more simply can't afford to exercise which is far more disappointing

There are a lot of things that a production can't recover from, no matter which other elements are excellent:

* Bad director

* Bad cast

* Bad writing
