So this is probably a dumb question...but is the clock at all accurate? It says it stops periodically when there isn't sufficient fluctuation in temperature so do they manually correct it after?
> The organisation acquired its own servers, and began encrypting its communication yikes, sounds pretty sloppy from all sides
I am also wary of the mass legalization of illicit drugs, mainly because of the already huge problem my states has with opiates. I think it's a good goal, but should I really believe that the "regulated" decriminalized…
True, but what's troubling isn't that he was fired, it's that the memo got leaked, caused a bunch of controversy and basically forced Google to take a position on whether they want to discuss this stuff. Yes, one guy…
In case it hasn't already been posted, this (apparently) is the original memo which includes sources and reads much differently. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-I...
Give me a break. 1. It wasn't published anonymously 2. What he's saying is not even close to promoting slavery or legally allowing religious discrimination 3. The entire point of the screed was that the diversity issue…
I think we're in agreement on what the original author personally believes about diversity programs. But there is a difference between outright calling for the end of diversity programs at Google and wanting to discuss…
Although it is tough to tell, it definitely seems like Gizmodo may have stripped out some of his sources. From Gizmodo's preamble: > Two charts and several hyperlinks are also omitted. I think we should give him the…
I think he's saying he accepts that sexism is present in the hiring process, as are all biases, but the answer to that is not diversity programs. My guess is that he believes market forces will sort it out (i.e if…
I would disagree. While he obviously sees the diversity programs as misguided, he stops short of calling for an end to them. To quote: > Have an open and honest discussion about the costs and benefits of our diversity…
Yeah, what was up with that? I was really disappointed that stuff was omitted and assumed it was why some of the author's claims seemed so bold. Is there a link to something closer to the original around?
What I've found after living in a few foreign countries (originally from the US): If you balk at minor incidents of xenophobia and in so doing generally act as if you don't belong, it will only make it worse. If you can…
Thanks, I forgot about the automatic increase/decrease in difficulty as miners come and go. Why won't increasing the transactions per block scale forever? I see lots of people saying it's not a permanent solution. Is…
As someone with a basic Comp Sci understanding of crypto currencies could someone explain to me why there is a scalability problem? I thought one of the primary benefits of Bitcoin was that higher transaction fees will…
yeah, I think we're pretty much on the same page
Okay, but if journalists had no ethics whatsoever beyond a legal obligation, than no one would want to talk to them and we would not get to listen to people's stories. It's not so much about what you could get away with…
I don't know...Reed at one point exposes something John specifically told him to keep off the record and he writes it off for two reasons, both of which I take issue with. I can't explain it without getting into…
I'm living in Kyiv right now and it this seems like the most reasoned response in this chain. Expats tend to have an overly optimistic view of Ukraine because they don't have to deal with the day to day bullshit native…
Yeah, but I'm guessing they cost a lot more than a raspberry pi, they mention these systems in the article

The internet greatly magnifies the perceived prevelance of this "infantile culture". I think most people do not see this effect hardly at all in day to day life, but love to get enraged about it online. It's a fad…
Apple says this shit every time it has a major press event. Saying it mocks poor people is digging around for something to be offended about. Is the author really offended every time they see an ad for a newer car model…
Regardless, it's difficult to think of any situation where a All _______ should use _______ is really justified.
I got one that was just: "write a web application". That's literally all they gave me for parameters. I decided not to be a dick and send them 5 lines of code returning http 200 so I set off and started a side project…
