I'm not against gay marriage. I'm using it as an example.

But you're really illustrating my point here, by arguing not that there hasn't been a shift but that the growing hatred and intolerance is in fact a good thing. I feel like this is a more honest position than pretending that prevailing attitudes haven't shifted.

As a personal example, last week I had a comment deleted on Reddit for being "hatred" because I described drag as a form of kink. Maybe I'm wrong on this, but this kind of banal censorship has become a regular experience for anyone who offers any sort of resistance to woke narratives. If you think this is a good change, then I disagree but at least acknowledging that there's been a change puts us in the same reality.
> I just doubt that ordinary voters will allow it to get that bad

A lot of people said that in 2015. And in 2016. And again in 2019. And here we are.

Ordinary voters want this stuff. They don't know any better, and the UK press does its best to keep them that way.

Since you seem to agree with the user above, can you give any concrete examples of how the left "went off the deep end" or just explain what you take issue with the left doing?

I am particularly curious about politicians and their actions, rather than woke twitter users, since we are discussing who we vote for. Please do mention if wokeness is your main complaint with the left, as it seems to be the case for many conservatives I know, but I felt the need to mention I don't believe wokeness is actually relevant amongst politicians.

As far as I can tell, left leaning politicians have not gone off the deep end in any objective sense. Their voting patterns seem to be mostly centrist/conservatives leaning and have remained that way for some time.

Without concrete examples, it is really hard to accept "people want different things" as an explanation for statements that I would consider to be outright false. So I ask in hopes that I might understand the opposing perspective on this.
It's really nice that you care so much. I had a similar problem, worried everything around me might come tumbling down. This was 10 years ago. Over time I just stopped caring and started living my life. Then war in Europe broke out and it all came back. I almost emigrated with my whole family because of my reflex. In the end I almost had an anxiety attack thinking about what the hell am I doing to my family and why - because Russians might come? I burned out one night and the next morning I decided I am not going anywhere. It felt like someone removed a million tons off of my chest. In the end the Russians turned out to be totally incompetent and (at least for now) they weren't coming for me.

You can't control everything (actually there are very few things you CAN control). But there is one thing that is in your control, and that is you. If you feel like you are losing control, go and talk to someone - after all, what is the money good for if you are not well.

>as well as more mass immigration

I really haven't seen this with "left wing folks". That sounds more like some folks talking points they want you to buy into.

I think you might be mistaken. Any immigration /= "more mass immigration".
> Channel reading and writing is isomorphic to read() and write() syscalls

This is a very bad mental model because channels operations cannot be canceled (without using select on two channels) or return any error status (at all).
I've had comments incorrectly deleted in Reddit but I didn't think of it as political persecution.

Same on Twitter. A lot.

And if it were political persecution, which it very well could be, Reddit is moderated by absolute randoms from the internet. Starting new subreddits and moderating to one's one preferences is very literal free speech.
You jest, but they are absolutely on it
Kalanick resigned because of a culmination of controversies, not necessarily visiting a bar with escort services.

Firing a CEO for purchasing escort services would be quite a low bar to set. Note that I'm not saying I support the act.
Same. My last doordash order was for 20 dollars of food and after tip (the suggested) it came to over double the original food cost. That's just not sustainable for anyone.

What if you could evaluate a company in a way that you maximize your chances. So look at things like options expiration, founders. Kind of what VCs do. Maybe that's why you should assess the startup you want to work for.
From the tech side, I'd say Amazon and Facebook are by far the most frequent to reach out on LinkedIn asking if I want a job compared to other big tech companies.
I upload files all the time and for some reason I don't encounter this problem in gnome. Just give the files appropriate names?

Seems like a channer problem. It's not suprising that no one from /g/ has made a patch yet.

Edit: Actually, I just checked and apparently it's because the file picker actually does show thumbnail icons, just very small ones. For example, https://files.catbox.moe/h3s3c3.png

I guess I can usually make out what the image is from the small thumbnail icons!

I remember a friend telling me about this forum called 'Digg' back in 2006 or so. 'A bunch of cool libertarians' is how he described it. I discovered reddit a couple years after that and would've described it the same way. Times change.

What’s so funny about these types of stories is that they’re always about the response to some action, and not the action itself.

What is Elon doing in public that’s so bad, exactly? He’s against authoritarian governments? The horror!
I passed the edit window. I missed what you said about your close family and relatives. So maybe I understood wrong, you're worried about your future.

This is also true. Yes, in places with lower social equality – higher pay does not lead to less anxiety, on the contrary it leads to more. No amount of earning will feel enough when there are zero social nets for people around you. People earning much lesser but in environments with good social nets are less anxious about their future.

In this case, I would recommend what the others recommend: Find a shoulder to cry on, and keep chugginng along. Therapists, trusted friends, relatives – people whom you can trust and vent your insecurities safely on. Remember, people earning lower have it even worse.
In Turkey SIMs must be linked to ID. If you change owner of a phone number it goes trough approval from the government which takes a day.

IMEIs must be registered before sold. If you buy mobile phone from abroad you can use it for few months without registering the IMEI. Then the mobile networks do not respond to the mobile phone, even if you change the SIM. Registering a phone requires a passport, that proves you have visited abroad in that last 6 months. If longer, you cannot register. And the IMEI gets tied to the SIM. Plus, it is very expensive, like half minimal salary.

Sure. Someone who directly depends on Musk not going to jail for their employment to not disappear isn't exactly the best judge of character. She can even be a tech sis if you want, or a 10xer, pick your favorite.

What % of the population of the US labor force currently shops on Amazon?

Amazon has become the substrate for more than tech- ordering stuff on Amazon is practically a utility like electricity, water and internet now.
What I should have said is Sway properly supports high bit depths and color formats that can support HDR. It still has no protocol for actually negotiating HDR, but I also don’t have HDR displays, so I wouldn’t notice the difference.
It's kind of interesting because Amazon has built a reputation for being absolutely ruthless to their workers (not just delivery or warehouse).

You have the notorious NYT article from 2015 (the article mentions this):

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-...

The online perception is that it has only gotten worse. It doesn't take much to find stories on teamblind, twitter, reddit, or even hackernews about hire to fire, stack ranking/pip, and even just general mental abuse.

I mean just read this excerpt from the article about a working needing to go see a dentist about an infected tooth:

> The problem, he said, was that he only had seven hours of unpaid time off but ended up missing 20 hours of work; he had enough paid vacation time to cover the absence, but he said the company did not pull from that separate bank of days because Pagan would have had to apply for vacation time in advance. Pagan said he also had a doctor’s note but was told the company did not need to accept it as an excuse, even though he had been excused from work with a doctor’s note previously. He said he worked for another full week without issue, until he showed up one night for his overnight shift and his badge no longer worked. He was eventually told he had been terminated.

At what point do we simply ask if Amazon leaders have no sense of decency? [1]

It demonstrated that the requestor had not put in even the minimum amount of effort to identify the data present in the paper and lacked an understanding of how the entire domain and process worked. It is similar to going into a restaurant, ordering something that is not on the menu, and then being outraged that there's no wonton soup at the hotdog stand.
The second response was also very rude. If someone is screaming at you that their taxes paid for your work, it is never polite.

That's completely wrong. Fuel is a tiny fraction of a rocket launch. At best, SpaceX's Falcon 9 costs $15 million to refurbish and re-launch (according to Musk). About $200,000 of that is fuel. That works out to 1.3% of costs which is far from "the vast majority."
It's an interesting strategy, really -- build a sorta-neat stable business, and affiliate it with a buffoon who constantly overpromises to his cult following to inflate the stock price to outrageous values.

Then, your "sorta-neat stable business" has MASSIVE amounts of value from stock grants, capital it can use to hire more, pay more, finance debt for large purchases, etc. Kind of a superpower for an otherwise unremarkable company.

Of course, there's other externalities from the buffoon and his cultists. They can drive away good workers, or pivot the company in unpleasant directions, or just leave some day, tank the company stock, and then the company loses the superpower and all of the things that come with it. But if your main mission is growth, well, it makes a lot of sense...
As a longtime gnome user I knew exactly what he meant. Icon view is what we want. The others are practically useless for quickly identifying a file.
Man, that's awesome. How does it work for recipes? I know there are a few solutions out there for this, but I absolutely cannot stand the 10 pages of narrative and prose before getting to the actual list of ingredients/steps.

Probably depends on region/country/situation. Applied for an engineer position in Europe a few weeks ago, got to the last round of interviews, was rejected (probably because I'm horrible trying to explain things with that STAR method, I think the rest was ok).

I don't think they have a lack of candidates to be honest.
Nice! Your suggestion is particularly helpful. Thanks a lot. I can envision this might work.
As a note: the US Military isn't going away from cluster munitions because we don't want to leave UXO for civilians to accidentally blow themselves up with, but rather because we don't want to leave UXO for US military to accidentally blow themselves up with. If we drop 12x M26 missiles on a grid square, then that's something like 7.7k submunitions. With a 14% dud rate, that's 1k submunitions somewhere waiting for us to roll over them.
Wow, this is the utterly most uninteresting aspect of city planning. But good that that problem is solved.
This is simply laying down groundwork for hiring temporary foreign workers.
Aspergers does not explains his behavior. It does not explain grandiosity, oversensitivity, lying, egoism and so on. Also, Musk is pretty good at negotiating, manipulating and can be very charming, people with asperger are usually opposite.

So, that diagnosis is some minor influence somewhere, but does not explains the rest.
I have reservations about this because in a lot of the news today the actual details, the important ones, are so buried in the body of the body that it probably won't be surfaced given all the fluff.

I was unable to find actual published numbers. The only figure I found is that a starship spec’d specifically for comfortably carrying crew members can carry about 100 people.

I think the reason I can’t find an answer to the general case is that you wouldn’t typically have any crew on board a starship that’s designed for cargo.
This is such a wrong summary of the thread you linked that you are obviously just trying to stir up a flame war. Flagged.

Being fired was a consequence of their free speech.

Musk has only ever said he believes people should have absolute freedom of speech; he hasn't said people shouldn't face consequences for what they say.
Speech about working conditions is indeed protected. Nothing in the letter is about working conditions.
My brother in law lived in Austria, he was paid similarly to any other job there, there was an impassable ceiling, so he moved to San Francisco and makes 10x.

I looked for software development jobs in Spain, and they pay even less than in my native Uruguay.

Likewise, I’ve always found it amusing that right wing business guys pay lip service to being against illegal immigration, yet they move their meat packing plants to nowhere-ville.
My top gtk3/gnome 30 wtfs:

- the (all too well-known) file picker issue where when you type something it interprets it as file name filter rather than, you know, the file name you want to save under

- missing top menu (but a bar is still there wasting space for a ... clock wtf)

- general window positioning; like, if you open an app, rather than just opening a window as new top window, gnome opens it behind others and pushes a notification "FF is ready" wtf

- mainstream desktop apps not ported to dark mode, so those icons look even more puzzling

I could go on, but I'm definitely leaving gnome/gtk apps behind. I've eyed KDE Plasma which could give me everything I ever wanted from a DE, but I was using Ubuntu/gnome because it was mainstream enough that everything just works OOTB. I'm also totally not looking forward to wayland, containerize-all-the-things such that basic file workflows stop working, and other attitudes, all the while the apps I'm using are exactly the same I've used 15 or 20 years ago, without new ones coming.

I think I'm going back to Mac.
It is allowed, but your boss is also allowed to fire you. Ianal
If retention and recruitment are impacted, then working hours become longer. If company values are enforced internally but publicly the CEO is acting against those values, then it becomes harder to understand what someone might be disciplined for. The connections are, imo, there.
It turns out when you treat your employees as disposable resources to be exploited, instead of human beings, people don't want to work there. I have several friends that worked for Amazon as engineers and from their stories, I don't think I'll ever consider working for Amazon. They probably have some good teams in there somewhere. And let's not forget their "hire to fire" practices to meet their turnover quotas.
Free speech is about opposing government restrictions in the public sphere though.
This doesn't even seem like it'll accomplish what's intended.

The goal is to hold the company accountable, but it sounds like they just created legalized paid-fall guys.

If the government wants to pierce the limited liability veil, they should either go after the persons in the company either directly or ultimately responsible (eg the direct manager, or the C-suite). Letting the company decide who takes the fall just means they're going to foist it on some uniformed schmuck.

You get paid more for being on-call - now wait until you see the legaly-liable-for-the-entire-company bonus!
I'm not trying to malign anyone here. I'm pretty sure more mass immigration is a left-wing opinion, and I thought that much was uncontroversial. I don't understand the distinction you're making between "any immigration" and "mass immigration". The US already allows a lot of immigration.
A lawsuit was filed over it wow:

https://www.cnet.com/culture/tesla-motors-founders-now-there...

"On Monday, a Tesla representative said that Eberhard and other principals in the dispute have come to an agreement. The company did not reveal any details of the resolution, except to say that there are now five, rather than two, agreed-upon "founders" of Tesla.

In addition to Eberhard, other founders include current CEO and chief product architect Elon Musk, current chief technology JB Straubel, Marc Tarpenning, and Ian Wright."

This question suggests that you no longer have the intellectual curiosity to imagine an alternative to incredibly dull, surface-level questions even on subjects the interviewer claims to know about, except for... incredibly dull, surface-level questions.

And that's pretty depressing.
Yes, that's all true, but that does not support the claim that the "American radical left is the European conservative right". In some ways, some of the demands of the American radical left mimic some of the expectations of European right-wing platforms, but the American radical left would still be identifiably left-wing in Europe, mostly due to their positions on immigration, regulation, sociology, and taxation.

The follow-up question to demonstrate this point would be "would an American who identifies as radically left-leaning join a European conservative right-wing party if they moved to Europe?"
Boris Johnson is the only hope, in my opinion. Yeah he's a slimy, entitled, lying, racist, upper-class con-artist, but he's a populist at heart and has no principles beyond what he thinks will make the public like him. Yeah that's disgusting, and yeah it's the best of the worst, but it's still better than Cameronism, which simply doesn't care what you think. If an uproar comes, which it hopefully will, at least our fearless leader will listen, if only out of self-interest
Same. I’m not on Facebook’s radar, but I get Amazon recruiter spam to my inbox every 2-3 months. This is a far higher rate than any other company.
