Blocking people who are harassing you seems like a reasonable balance to free speech.

Just because you are saying things doesn’t mean another citizen has to listen to them.

It would be ideal to wait for the people you hate to express the ideas you hate before hating them.

If you have young children, better not take pics of them, lest apple inc accuses you of being a predator.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Lot of weirdness on the Internet the last few years.

It is shocking to me that anyone would consider Wikipedia as an irrefutable source of truth.

Logs are only useful if they are monitored.

This individual seems to look at events that happen that don’t align with their prejudices and assumes that the signal is an aberration.

Nihilists get burned. You have to hold people accountable for the consequences of their action rather than their intention.

Wow. Wonder what Alan Einstein is advising the leadership on the effectiveness of this approach. You should work hard to minimize all of your taxes if this is how they are going to waste it.

The weird culture around social justice and systemic racism gets treated with the same respect as Jehova’s witnesses, Mormons and Scientologists where I live. What’s commonly accepted as progressive online seems to be widely perceived as rehabilitating race-based discrimination here.

Is that consistent with your experience?

I currently look at Twitter as a destination for socially approved statements.

Twitter is a place where you are either celebrated for having approved perspectives or risk professional destruction.

New users can only be craven popularity chasers. Old users either conform or quit. Why would anyone play in that sandbox if you have any respect for diverse opinions?

In the mobile industry at the very beginning of the introduction of iPhone/android devices, we referred to “feature” phones (e.g Symbian), “smartphones” (e.g Android and windows phone)and “super phones” or “the hero device” which was exclusively the iPhone. I always thought Hero was an odd reference, but maybe there is a connection to Oshima’s request.

“The huge success of the mRNA vaccination platform”

Does anyone know what the agreed upon criteria for asserting the success of mRNA vaccinations is?

Aren’t we anticipating an uptick in cases in the US as we approach winter? Why are we assuming success already?

That intellectual might of disagreement by mouse click is underwhelming.

The only thing downvotes reliably represent is the zeitgeist of the average user (and certain power users) of this site.

Downvotes provide a safespace from uncomfortable truths that challenge orthodox beliefs.

It’s been almost 20 years since Bill Gates committed to giving away his money, and somehow he is worth more now than when he made that public commitment.

The man deserves recognition for the scale of his lie, and he is hoisted up as some reliable resource on vaccination and global pandemics. Serious topics deserve credible spokespeople.

To do the opposite of what the author writes, first you have to finish reading what the author wrote. In the post script.

Sources are first hand- sorry. Don’t have documentation to point to. Know of a two healthy people who were diagnosed with diabetes within a couple days of the second shot.

Apparently this phenomenon is known for actual covid sufferers.

Does the fact that the major vaccine vendors are encouraging placebo recipients to be notified about their receipt of a placebo, plus encouragement that they go get the vaccine affect your confidence in the trial process for this vaccine?

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/02/19/9691430...

“According to Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, interim analyses after approximately 2 months of follow-up suggest their vaccines are 90% to 95% effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, although no peer review of the data has been conducted to date. Both companies now claim they have an “ethical obligation” to offer vaccine as soon as possible to all participants who received placebo, considering the strong results and participants’ contribution to the research.“

What is the right way to collect this data, given that the frontline practitioners are actively discouraging any patients from making a connection for adverse reactions with the vaccine?

Put another way: Isn’t VAERS a necessary solution to ensure that the healthcare system does not misrepresent the safety of the vaccines? Transparency should be a first principle requirement for science.

I’ve started shopping explicitly for conservative colleges for my kids.

I don’t understand why anyone would go into debt for institutions that want to crucify youthful stupidity. Oregon in particular seems to struggle with this topic.

This is a post mortem for a corpse that was already dead.

Trump derangement syndrome guaranteed this outcome.

Reap what you sow. American mainstream media is pure propaganda, full stop. The national voice is the pr teams of our most valuable corporations. The patient is dead.

When was the last time you thought about what Julian Assange is going through?

That gif deserves an NFT.

OP’s structure of argument should be a well established anti-pattern.

I wish more people recognized that it is a tempting and lazy logical fallacy. It is fundamentally disrespectful to assume that people who don’t agree with you are too emotional. If you make this argument, you are killing your own argument, unless you support it with facts. OP demonstrates this uncharitability by asserting a lack of data, and then assuming emotions explain it. Go hang out with a more diverse crowd, OP. You are robbing yourself of life’s tapestry.

A distributed ledger eliminates the risk that the third party hosting the record can be hacked or that the operator fraudulently lies in the record.

Your kids will voraciously consume every moment you can give them. Your ideals will dictate how many moments you make available to them.

I’ve worked harder established companies than I ever did at startups.

Being a parent is hard no matter where you work. Those who talk about balancing their career with their desire for children might as well dream about winning the lottery.

All of your high minded ideals will be directly confronted by a screaming baby who can’t clearly express their needs for another 6-12 years.

I don’t think this problem is truly unique to startups.

People who have experienced brain trauma present significant initial relief when they are told they have condition that has a label.

They tend to relapse every two years and select a new diagnosis after they don’t get better. It’s heartbreaking to watch when you know to look for the pattern.

I’m 20 years into my career and my perspective on this topic has changed from being a supporter of RTR to being generally tepid.

Most IoT is shit because they compete on very thin margins. This presents a problem for folks who consider both security and customer ownership rights- what is the more important priority? Right to repair, or Authenticity of software?

1.) I currently index on authenticity of software. It should not be easy for someone to augment your firmware with spying ability.

2) there is a plentiful ecosystem of inexpensive suppliers for homebrew types that want to build their own purpose built devices. This wasn’t the case historically. In the past, I felt like you didn’t have an economical alternative path. Now you do, so why is it so important to demand the ability to Jerry rig someone else’s appliance?

3) I don’t think RTR is compatible with secure boot, antirollback, etc.

I do believe in RTR for laptops, John deer tractors and cars. But I find it a waste of time for inexpensive iot gear. Am I alone? Would appreciate others perspective.

My immediate reaction is the diff between CEO and QA is that QA doesn’t negotiate well.

They’re willing to endure bad work for limited pay. You don’t want this type of person leading a company.

I’ve also worked (and left) the field of gaming QA. FWIW, I’m not trying to being controversial- this is my sincerely held belief. I think gaming QA is a good foot in the door to a career in tech, but something that should be abandoned as soon as you get a feel for what it takes to work in an agile environment and make your deliverables. The gaming industry seems like the place where you go to kill your health and happiness to me. As long as people keep signing up for the work, conditions will be awful.

I find this statement strange. Curious if others experience aligns with mine:

Being a CEO is all consuming.

You don’t want to be a parent and a CEO, cause the company comes first.

You don’t want to be married and a CEO, because the company comes first.

If you could “automate” this job, the developers behind the scripts become de facto CEO. Their scripts cannot fail. They will have to make the same sacrifices as the meatspace CEO.

I dunno if it’s an Icarus thing or what, but the closer I am in interactions with ceos, the more I pity them.

Asking these people to trade their lives for the possibility of no payout seems doomed to fail. The only reason people trade their lives for this role is because it is worth the personal damage and risk.

80 year cycle won’t last much longer.
