I think most people would agree that it's a bad thing to mislead people, yes.
Straight white men are arguably no longer the group which is most favored by the status quo. The remainder of your post is sound though, the "I have nothing to hide" translates well into saying "I am in a position of power, fuck you".
"Everybody lies". Even if the majority of people's history and proclivities are considered "vanilla", those individuals themselves don't want that information being made public, would likely feel some sense of shame if the information got out, and want to avoid any situation where they would be judged or teased. Even if that content is considered relatively tame by a tolerant society.
For such a "progressive" city, San Francisco sure is against progress.
It might make sense if Francisca had just said "from Córdoba" and Jayalalithaa "from Erode, Tamil Nadu". Since everyone was talking about countries rather than states, one would reasonably expect Peter to do the same, and thus assume he is from Georgia rather than the USA.
There's a big difference between "I want to make <thing>" and "I want to do <thing> that experienced individuals who know this rabbit hole and enjoy similar things but are scared of <thing>".
Interestingly - Isaac Hayes wrote and recorded The Theme To Shaft over a weekend too.

The theme here is that a (small) win is not worth a life-ruining liability.

> You know both Russia and China are perfectly capable of targeting and destroying satellites, yes?

This would be an act of war and open their birds to retaliatory strikes. Tracking down the receivers and levying draconian punishments on those caught would do the trick. Moreover, from the example of Chinese students abroad, it's unclear access to information would do much.
Shouting isn't great but to be honest I'd much rather have a very detailed if slightly macho technical discussion than some nonsense HR-gremlin driven "motivation" session.
No need. You can use whatever Twilio defines because they obviously must have defined something to be able to state they acted anti-racist.

(The reality of the whole thing is so obvious that they paid some contractor to say they’re antiracist without actually changing anything they did.)
Are you implying strong believes do not provide adequate protection from pervasive, non discriminate surveillance?
I was fully expecting to be disappointed and turn it off after a few seconds, but I can tell you, I was transfixed.
I suspect this won't meet with popular approval, but it's a serious suggestion.

Do nothing. Allow your mind and body to unwind. Allow yourself to sleep in. Allow yourself simple pleasures like walking, cooking, sharing a meal with friends.

But in general, if you have your next gig already lined up, its perfectly acceptable to do absolutely nothing and enjoy it!

Be well friend, and congrats on making changes in your life.
San Francisco makes it hard to do any type of construction. Check JWZ's adventures in getting work done on the DNA lounge, it's crazy to read.
I stopped using streaming services as I tend not to listen to music in the way they want. I always listen to full albums in order and tend to listen to albums on repeat. I tend to focus on my music, and want zero interruptions, so an offline, dedicated music player works best for me. I can't stand my music randomly disappearing, so I purchase it all. That means I am reliant on finding new recommendations based on something other than my listening history!

I primarily subscribe to the RSS feeds of a few smaller review sites and blogs. I listen to a specific subgenre of metal, and so angrymetalguy.com is one of my favorites.

I also heavily use bandcamp. Because I listen to a more niche subgenre, the labels tend to be small, independent labels that only focus on that genre. So I subscribe directly to the labels in bandcamp, as they advertise new artists and releases on their label.

Bandcamp only supports using their in browser feed or getting emails, which I find annoying. So I use imapfilter to automatically convert those bandcamp emails into an RSS feed.

I also follow a few subreddits that just post new music for very niche genres to help find some things I might have missed. I also pull these in via RSS.
When you use a stall in a public restroom, do you close the stall door or leave it open?

Everyone knows what you are doing. You aren't doing anything immoral or unethical. But you want (and deserve) privacy anyway.
As opposed to execs getting rewarded no matter what so they can be open about their failures that they won’t resolve.

There is a point to not executing people for failures so that information isn’t hidden but when “not getting paid massive amounts of compensation” is equivalent to execution I think you’re going to have the same bad behaviors.
> Cost of an RTX3070 right now is about $550 on Amazon

The GPU market is beyond saturated, with prices crashing. There are predictions of new 3090's being $500 in 6 months as NVIDIA and their partners get desperate to offload 3000 series inventory to make room for 4000 series cards.

Everyone and their cousin has a gaming PC now and even if a service like this were to take off, they'd have no shortage of suppliers (and competitors) and thus prices will plunge.

I can't see this being a sustainable business model past 6-9 months from now.
I can't find out exactly why. The ACLU might think that being able to marry is a right worth defending for emancipated minors or something along that line, but it doesn't look like a strong argument (I think that marriage shouldn't exist in general, at least as an institution with legal recognition, so maybe I'm missing something).
> You don't use it because "you don't have a choice"

I do.

There are many dev communities like Svelte which use Discord so I'm forced to use it although I kinda hate it too.
U.S. to discuss new chips bill with Taiwan next month
Idle question,

I have always assumed screen name and badge are just-in-time, reflective of present account settings, modulo caching etc., and not pinned so to speak to their state at the time of a Tweet.

It's got to be the case, or you could just keep flip-flopping and have a dialog with yourself that looked at a glance like an actual interchange (until the account handle was examined)...
Almost nothing to be honest. I just added a battery percentage display to the other info I show when starting a new terminal and it worked out of the box. Same for architecture which I added to make sure I knew if I was in an arm64 terminal or a x86_64 one run through Rosetta. On the G4 it happily reports "Power Macintosh."

I have had a few issues I can't recall off the top of my head just down to really old versions of stuff. There's always "the old way" to do something and it can be fun to figure out.
I think mobsters used to kill people like this.
> The sexuality and race is kind of irrelevant to the point, but I agree with the rest.

Thank you for speaking up. For some reason, some people think that generalizing negative attributes to some groups is fine. It is not. If you claim that behaviors/attributes are had by race/gender/other-unrelated-attribute you are part of the problem.
> I still have a single (1) on my direct messages link and I cannot figure out

Maybe it's a friend request?

> And that all after I had a little red dot in the taskbar discord icon for like a year which I somehow managed to get rid of.

This is the most annoying thing. I think it means you have "some" unread messages. A single message in any of the 100s of channels in a dozen "servers" you're in will trigger that with default notification settings.
i think everyone's point is taking race into account in any shape or form is illegal, so not firing black people but still needing to fire 11% means in turn you are firing more non-black people to fill the gap, meaning those people were fired based on race and not performance, which IANAL is illegal
It took over like wildfire because it had 10x better UX than any combination of alternatives - and you definitely needed a combination to match the features. Start with the fact that it's not just chat, but also video, voice, and includes things like multimedia uploads that are a modern baseline, but still absent from many other services.
Not mine, I am not affiliated with this tool, but I thought along the same lines as you and found this tool, could you give it a try and let me know what you think?

> easily stay up to date with them

How do you stay up to date when there are thousands and thousands of messages generated per day or even per hour?
Is Discord's UI/UX just hideously awful or is this just me? Here are a few highlights:

- Icons for the servers you're on. I know what it's called. I don't know the name. Maybe there's a way to search for that? If so, it doesn't appear to be obvious;

- Multiple places where you set settings;

- You can create an alias for a given server but you have to do this manually. If you forget (or possibly people can see it anywhere) your identity is linked or can be leaked. Why is there no cohesive model for pseudonymity?

- Searching and indexing. Nuff said;

- Discord gives you a collection of essentially walled gardens. Personally I find this to be a subpar experience;

- You can follow certain channels in another server. Or sometimes you can't. No idea why. Did the owner block it? I have no idea. Sometimes you just don't have the option and there's nothing to tell you why. Overall this is just a bad experience also;

- Discord seems to be built for people who are terminally online on that server. People who see every chat message. If you're not in that category all you see is a hot mess with no direction;

- Direct messages are another hot mess. Finding particular DMs or people can be a challenge. It's also used for spam and scams where servers haven't locked down the ability to DM other people on that server;

- Discovery of servers is awful. You're relying on other sources for this in its entirety.

So now we're having another communication model: forums. Great. Forums don't work for finding information. There's a reason why the likes of Reddit or even Stack Overflow supplanted forums: you can bubble up good comments or answers and skip all the noise that inevitably pollutes forums (eg "first!", "you shouldn't do X").

At least Discord has some authentication mechanisms to tie in with other platforms and the ability to make bots (note: I've never actually made one so I have no idea how easy or hard this is).

Still, it's another embedded Chrome Electron bloatware nightmare.

I've never understood the appeal. What am I missing? Because I'm sure I'm missing something.
That’s the creepiest thing to me - employers tracking your race seems … strange. And if they’re not tracking it it’s even worse because that means they’re deciding your race for you!

I watched that office episode came out and I didn't realize this was a thing (watching the logo and cheering when it hits the corner) outside of The Office, so it seems like the aside was necessary.
How did you find jobs in the past?

I just found a 6 month contract at £600/day after a 2.5 week job hunt. 2.5 weeks from first message to a recruiter to getting a verbal offer. The actual contract took another week to come through.

I just went to all of the job boards, searched for contract jobs and applied by sending my CV with no cover letter. Four recruiters got back to me and one of them had a contract that was at a good company.

Just send out lots of applications and you'll get something.

I'd say there are expectations, rather than rules. If you know your audience is likely to care about these sort of things then it's indeed a good idea to correct them, and it's usually best to be conservative in formal writing. But that doesn't really mean there are "rules" which cover any and all usage of the English language.

Joining words to one compound word is pretty much the example of language evolution.
Not trying to hate on PHP, but deployment is one of the features that is so great with Go. It's about on the same level of abstraction as PHP and it's just a breeze to deploy stuff.
> And if his project was fully up to code but still denied—which would likely be illegal under another state law that bars arbitrary housing denials—he could sue all the way to a state judge and set a precedent.

> So he set out to get the project denied at the Board of Supervisors so he could settle out his building rights in court

> Knowing he was likely headed to court, Tillman refused to jump through the hoops normally required for getting a housing project off the ground in San Francisco.

There are a lot of real issues here, but this article gives a skewed picture of the problems by focusing on a somewhat unusual example, in which the owner actively resisted the city's process with the intention of going to court. Tillman has done plenty of media and activism, and it seems his goal was not just to get the project approved in order to proceed, but to use the legal system to clarify developers rights more broadly. Whatever you think of that approach, I think "sue all the way to a state judge and set a precedent" was always going to be slow.

UPDATE: to clarify, I'm in no way trying to defend the city's process, corrupt officials, etc. I just think the article could have illustrated the problems better by focusing on a project that took the typical approach and paid out X, was delayed Y years etc, rather than Tillman's more unusual strategy.
I'm confused, it sounds like you're asking for more censorship on Twitter, which is not even the subject at hand. Unless you're suggesting bots are killing people.
They made changes in reaction to the feedback.

Do you mean that unless they "stop this annual tradition" as requested by this one tweet, they are "refusing to listen to the community"?
Usually the objections to changing laws like this are driven by a few very fundamentalist religious groups.
Sqwok – A new place for live conversation on the web
Greetings all, I hope this blog post explains what Sqwok is and why it exists.

Very simply I wanted to build an open live discussion site that used chat instead of threaded comments, and was tailored for a general audience to discuss the topics people find interesting.

It's been a passion project and I'd love to hear from the community on what sorts of features you'd like to see, or other feedback you have, realizing that it won't be for everyone, but hopefully some will find it interesting.

Please feel free to share the blog post and let me know if you have any questions!
Nowhere in my post did I suggest CEOs reaching out to "Linux virtualization companies" themselves. Even the linked reddit post doesn't. It's talking about CEOs ordering someone/some team from their company to contact a tech consulting company to figure out whether switching to Linux based virtualization would be feasible.

CEOs hearing about some stuff and immediately jumping on it and ordering someone to look into it is quite common.
Set aside "hard-working," just for arguments sake.
If you fire these people you don't have a company anymore. You cannot hire new people who know how to run a railroad. It is suicide.
Your cynicism is uncalled for IMO but also misses the mark factually.

SpaceX is not a publicly traded company so the specific way you've chosen to express your cynicism (this is just for pumping stock prices!) isn't even applicable.

Starlink might eventually be spun off into a separate publicly traded company - some statements to this effect have been made - but that's not what's happening right now.
Russia’s Secretive Long-Range Bomber Operations Against Ukraine
There's a whole crypto scam industry where hackers/scammers will sell accounts they've taken over to folks who immediately start shilling NFTs and pump/dump coins.

The economics of it are interesting, the accounts can be expensive. But it must work out otherwise nobody would do it.
Another thing which is missing is in the area of employment law, particularly as it intersects professionals who also consult. For instance I work on open source software, and there's usually little or no recognition of this in the typical employment contract.

For instance I used to have a "tools of the trade" addendum (that I worked up together with the barefoot lawyer over several years) but that was before "open source" was much of a thing. It'd be worth several hundred dollars to me to have timely, pertinent boilerplate for that.

Or, there was the situation where an employer took VC money and wanted everyone to sign new contracts. I hired the lawyer they'd want... if they were hiring a lawyer locally. (He wasn't on retainer with them, so that was good intelligence to obtain.) I paid about $700 for the advice that "this contract is an intelligence test: if you sign it you're too stupid to work there". So I followed my lawyer's advice; I suppose it worked out as well as it possibly could have.
Uh, what?

SDEs with a few YOE are getting this no problem at top companies. Why wouldn't the CEO of the fifth biggest website on the internet?
Sure, but the problem is that so many communities are moving discussion around solving domain-specific problems to Discord. And the collective wealth of knowledge - some of which gets accumulated across decades - instead becomes an amnesiac experience where answering one person’s question provides no gain to the next person with the same question in a year’s time.

I’m not sure why this move is happening.

Do you mean json for saving the data?
I wanted the file to be human-readable. You can simply have a markdown list and open it in this application and work with it as a mind map. Also, most of the content one may paste into a mind map is an indented list, and when they copy something from the map, they expect it to be like that. Therefore, the application must be able to process from and to indented lists anyway.

> Can't tell which side you're on based on this comment

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I needed to pick a side first.

I have no involvement, don't know the facts, haven't followed the discussion. From this thread, I gathered that people are being obnoxious and so they whipped out an ancient law to round them up for. Is selective enforcement good? Probably not. Is it good to stop people from being obnoxious at any funeral? Generally yes. Is the situation GP was posing comparable (random funeral vs. the queen's funeral)? No. Is royalty good? I don't know, I've heard pros (stable face of a country, for foreign relations, without the same person always being in power) and cons (costs).

I'd rather argue about merit and facts than "sides" you're on

...but probably that doesn't fit in a comment anyone is going to read and upvote, so alas.

Sometimes I toy with the idea of having difficult discussions (best example might be nuclear fission energy) in the form of a wiki, where the contents embody the current best known facts, with conclusions logically following from facts. When you change a fact, it cascades and the "thus"es are marked as needing an update. If you don't care for the whole discussion, you can just read the conclusion and find a "because" that you think is wrong somewhere and argue about that. But then, who'd find that enjoyable?

That is in the US, though.

San Fransisco is the epitome of visually seeing what is so messed up about our current breed of Capitalism.

Orlando was very similar when I lived there - with Disney World literally on the other side of the highway from extremely derelict project housing. I would drive through I-437 and just shake my head in sadness.

It's an eerie reminder of how fragile life is and how little we collectively care about solving these problems above making money for our individual selves.
