Bad faith moderation is why this site is a ghost town. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/146144481666247... How's that for upping the level of discourse?
Arright, calm down Tipper. Let's not pretend Youtube is edgy or "Rock and Roll". Its the most banal money farm ever created. Let's focus on how they're driving content creators to actual suicide by arbitrarily cutting…
we had that. It was called livejournal. And everyone stopped using it.
Funny, I thought the lesson here is that if you take away the barriers to the entry, all regulation, most of the financial burden, and provide nearly complete anonymity for disseminating news and information then…
In Chicago I saw first hand how it turned the Mayor into everyone's favorite punching bag: Housing prices go up. Developers move in and scoop up desirable properties, remodel the kitchen, paint it grey, and sell to a…
If you're the best engineer for a company who's bottom line is not direct sales of engineered products you are a middle tier or bottom tier engineer on the open market. You're the best engineer willing to work in a…
And... now you understand how China feels about American tariffs?
Oh, we've had very different experiences relating to project management! I've never had a PM that was a former developer, and in my world senior developers usually act as solution architects without the title, mostly…
I thought I emphasized the point pretty well: Get involved in the process if you're managing a team of developers and don't just look at metrics. They can be misleading if there is no way for developers to communicate…
"Don't be afraid to filter people out, it happens that some beginners take a toll on the time of the team, because they develop errors / don't test code." I would put a huge caveat here: Make sure you're deeply involved…
Sorry, that should have been followed with an, "As they do in China." In the US its more like, "report the issue and watch US authorities sit on it and do fuck all"
When US intelligence goals directly oppose US business goals then the enemy has already won.
Perhaps US police have shoved too many of these cases under the rug and now they need a scape goat because it is becoming too obvious that US companies cannot bribe, influence, or demand justice from their own…
If a spy leaves his disguise in my trash can and I take it to the police the spy exposed themselves. Taking steps to intimidate a citizen because your spy screwed up is an act of war, but not by the citizen.
There is one hitch and it’s a doozy. This invasive targeting may be neutralized by market forces when it comes to buying dish soap but it’s proven frighteningly effective in swaying voters even before the internet.…
Bonesaw is, indeed, reeeaaaaaddyyyy
Title is misleading: Article is about how Facebook facilitates authoritarian governments in silencing dissidents: even poor or ill equipped ones. The title leads you to believe Facebook has or had any interest…
If it’s legal to drink alcohol and poison yourself it’s no different than pouring arsenic in the water supply and poisoning everyone right?
Speaking of platforms: In the Bernstein timeline someone went to Stockholm and convinced Notch that a cross between Steam and Kiva kicks off the next cultural revolution and all we need is a little “mancala money”
Probably buying it above market price and therein lies the problem
It’s shorthand for a whole range of economic factors, housing costs, school quality, local politics, etc. Most big US cities have had waves of immigration that concentrate themselves in various neighborhoods ands it…
Incentive for a company to say "No" when the FBI offers to "fix" the problem quietly either by going up the chain of command internally to get answers and stop a blown attack on a US owned and operated business or use…
Seems like all US conflicts are now an excuse to race to the bottom with whoever our "enemy" is. We imported torture from the middle east and now state run news and corporations from China.
Just like gravity, its not the influx of cash that causes fear, its the sudden stop at the end.
Plausible deniability. Wouldn't surprise me if China is getting the blame for a LOT of US hacking.
