No we don't.

Misleading headline. Recognizing bitcoin as legal tender and adoption arent the same.

Almost as? Can anyone have imagined a more disorderly retreat? A mess is an understatement.

I cringe every time I see such comments. Ban bitcoin or ban beef because it uses too much energy.

Humanity will continue to require energy as it advances and banning anything "because it uses too much energy" is a ridiculous advice. How about we ban gold mining, or set quotas on the number of children people may have, that will surely contribute to our CO2 reduction goals. It's also Orwellian and reminiscent of how the world looked like for citizens of the USSR back in 1960-1990

Absolutely. If anyone believes this bs they're just enabling and encouraging musk to continue manipulating markets as he pleases. People will now start praising his decision but make no mistake, I don't know what was the real reason behind it but sure as hell it wasn't climate change and the way musk goes about releasing information that is moving markets is contemtable

> So I looked at my husband and asked the big question: How far would he support me in taking this? What if I didn’t delete the tweet and I got fired for it and we lost our health insurance? He told me to stand my ground, even though he’s in multiple high-risk categories for COVID as a cancer survivor with asthma, and that’s why I love him so much.

Heh I'll probably get downvoted for saying this, but that's not brave, that's just plain irresponsible and stupid, she's literally trading more risk(and that risk concerns her family too) for no gain whatsoever (it costs nothing to delete a tweet, but the loss of her job could potentially cost her everything).

Be smarter and pick your battles wisely.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. Crypto was always about freedom, and as things stand the right is advocating for freedom more than the left (gun rights, freedom of speech, smaller taxes).

Crypto was always about freedom, you're liberated from the dependence on your country, bank, or whatever else it may be. Your fate is in your own hands, your wallet, your funds.

I won't because I'm neither American nor a lawyer, but I will answer your question.

The person in question wanted to remain anonymous for good reasons, they didn't consent to have their true identity revealed and yet a powerful news corp decided to do that anyway, clearly in bad faith and for their own gain, violating that person's and their relatives' privacy. It's obvious the aim was to incite verbal violence against and "cancel" that man because he committed the heinous crime of wrongthink.

The whole story background story is extremely alarming. NYT unilaterally decided to reveal someone's real identity against that person's wishes. It should honestly be made illegal but given the current political climate it's doubtful such course of action will ever be considered. This whole situation gives even more credence to the idea that decentralisation is the only way forward for mankind if we intend to preserve the liberties our ancestors enjoyed for the past 300 years.

I mean, I share your sentiment even if it doesn't add value to the conversation, but they are communists, it's quite the opposite of fascism and equally as or more evil.

This sounds substantially overengineered way to justify his actions and relieve his conscience. In an organization of 17 people a person in his position would know exactly which people would work together to build a great team and which would not. In such a small team it's as much about the roles as it is about the people themselves, his method apparently completely dismisses that element of the decision.

Unless you want to redefine the word "stealing" it totally is.

Alright, and who is going to invest and build future apartments if there will be a high risk their properties will then be confiscated for "the greater good"?

So you're advocating for stealing these empty apartments from their owners and giving them to the poor, obviously, for free?

Indeed, that's what companies do, earn money for their investors and owners. Sorry to be blunt, but that's how the world works and arguably talented developers can relatively easily find other jobs that are less stressful.

that's what conventional-thinking people do. independent-thinking people don't want to fit in, they instead gather followers (other conventional-thining) to follow them

Loved this read. Looks like most hate towards the message of the article comes from the conventional-minded ;-)

I was actually baffled by this move. Is Netflix going to war with FB and Google? I mean, Netflix itself collects a tonne of data... The film called out FB, Google and Twitter numerous times while Netflix was conveniently missed.

Not saying I'd expect them to damage their own brand, but it's still very, very close to shooting yourself in your own foot.

Well, it tells a lot about how much you(and probably your management) care about your job.

My org was once hiring for a tech position, it was a new role, we weren't exactly sure if the process was right and one candidate sent us an email criticising the process and interviewers. We have apologised and thanked for the feedback, which was brought onboard and used to calibrate and improve the process further. Not every company is the same.

Besides, when we have received that kind of message it immediately raised some red flags. What if the candidate complains on glassdoor or other social media? It would damage our reputation. And frankly speaking, GoDaddy doesn't exactly have a good reputation.

While I understand the intention to highlight the other side of the problem, all these issues are significantly more severe for people in leadership positions.

I can't imagine taking more than 2 weeks off from work. These solutions aren't really solutions unless the person in question decides to quit their job. There is no snowballs chance in hell that a company will tolerate absence of their management staff that is longer than 4 weeks. A replacement or substituion would be required fairly soon.

Being open about one's emotion in a leadership position is a ridiculous advice, it's obvious that the authors have no idea what they're recommending.

And who shall be the judge of what is right and what is wrong? An internet mob? If an unknown woman issues a public twitter statement that she's been abused, is it OK to get the alleged offender cancelled before a court trial? What if they are innocent? How do you un-cancel somebody?

You don't. That's why the cancel culture is ridiculous and needs to end.

Cancel culture is a modern day equivalent of 17th century mob with pitchforks passing judgment based on rumour and questionable evidence.

The more interesting question is, even if everyone comes to the conclusion that this isn't right or just, can something be done about it? In 17th century mobs could be controlled by armed forces. Internet mobs cannot be controlled.

Isn't it surprising that Microsoft, Apple, Google, Netflix, Blizzard and others don't express their deep regret and support the people of Hong Kong? If they really stood by their values they would act in the same way as they did by supporting the BLM movement. It's just another proof that they only did that to get press coverage for being "benevolent" and not because they genuinely supported the people. Disgraceful.

I'm not American, but I don't understand those of you who support such decisions. The world of politics is infecting various gaming communities with politically driven changes that in many cases aren't supported by the actual users(or majority of the users, anyway). It's worrisome that many companies succumb to the demands of the mob just because they want to be left alone.

On another note, the fact that it's just the confederate flag and swastikas is deeply disturbing and acts as sound evidence that those are American problems. What about soviet symbols? Overall, the total number of soviet victims vastly exceeds those of Nazis or the victims of American slavery, why is everyone so one-sided in that aspect?

Indeed, some comments here are ridiculous. They are a company, they want to earn Money. Contrary to what people might think, just because a company tweets they support the BLM movement, that doesn't immediately mean(in fact, it almost never means) that they're genuinely interested in being benevolent. Stop being naive.

This is not going to last forever.

On the other hand, if it works the payoff will be quite significant in terms of impact to the economy compared to the rest of the world.

That's not how business works.

Totally agree. Helm is difficult enough to get up to speed with for engineers without prior experience with Kubernetes. Anything more complicated (and ksonnet was significantly more complicated, which is one of the reasons why it died out) is just not scalable. Helm is good enough and brings a decent balance between usability and complexity.

1. Donald Trump wins next elections.

2. Climate change turns out to be less severe than anticipated(by most) at the beginning of the decade.

3. Netflix faces more competition and struggles to maintain its position, potentially losing its significance and dropping out of FAANG

4. Significant advancements in fusion technology, but still no commercial solutions.

5. Bitcoin is worth more than 100k$

6. There is a global recession, but it's nowhere as severe as the last one.

7. VR and AR technology matures and becomes widespread.

8. UK struggles for the first few years after Brexit, but in the second half of the decade it prospers with GDP growth significantly outpacing that of Germany and France.

9. The EU struggles to keep up with the American and Chinese competition due to extreme regulations and bureaucracy.

10. Humans still didn't make it to Mars.
