GoodJokes··on Are readers generating fiction with AI models?
Don’t outsource your brain. Give your brain a whack at it.
GoodJokes··on The Light Phone III
It’s all about durability. For example, that phone is not going to be up to the standard of an iPhone when it comes to water resistance. What’s better constantly being able to fix your own phone or never needing to fix your phone. It is a spectrum, but I think for environmental and most consumer reasons, one wants it to be more towards the later.
GoodJokes··on Why so many of us were wrong about missile defense
Noah is a genocide apologist and kinda gross. The big take away is Israel needs help to defend itself and should be taking orders from the US, not the other way around.
GoodJokes··on OpenAI is working with the US military now
Yes but most of you are just trying to retire early and will work for anyone.
GoodJokes··on Kanye West is buying Parler
I can say whatever I want to my friends or cat. The people who want free speech in the internet just want to broadcast offensive or dangerous speech.
GoodJokes··on Meta has banned the personal Facebook accounts for everyone on our team
Get off Facebook idiots
GoodJokes··on Apple's director of machine learning resigns due to return to office work
Unions are for poor people. This person can be much more self righteous by quitting for another 6 figure paycheck. Very little risk.
GoodJokes··on Governments are failing to understand global catastrophic risks (2019)
You are talking about tipping points and those are most certainly covered and inserted into IPCC models. AMOC and permafrost has been covered in the most recent report.

You either are getting your shit from Reddit or worse.

I highly question the veracity of your comment. It looks like copy pasta from one of climate subreddits.

GoodJokes··on Amazon moves employees out of downtown Seattle office due to crime
You are not describing homelessness. Andre has a home. You are describing a class that has resorted to this type of activity due to inequities in society.
GoodJokes··on Finland or Sweden joining NATO would spark Russian response, Russia warns
Putin has been saying for the past decade that he would not tolerate further eastward expansion of NATO, a thoroughly anti-russian alliance. It is a reasonable position. No, invading independent countries is not reasonable. One can hold both these thoughts in their head.
GoodJokes··on A Survey of Programmers' Cannabis Usage, Perception, and Motivation
Citations? From what I know cannabis can give you really good "deep sleep." Which is just as good as REM sleep.
GoodJokes··on Why I'm donating $150/month (10% of my income) to the musl Libc project (2019)
this person makes $1500 a month?
GoodJokes··on Something weird is happening on Facebook
Delete Facebook. By god. How many articles do we need to write to communicate the same sentiment.
GoodJokes··on Berlin buys thousands of apartments from corporate landlords
You live in bubble and are failing to look at all aspects of your situation including your own wealth.
GoodJokes··on Amazon has ruined search and Google is in on it
Failure of imagination of the bad things Amazon would go on to do seems like the hallmark of the early days. Great job. Did you also game out the exploitation of warehouse workers?
GoodJokes··on Amazon Is Creating Company Towns Across the United States
Companies don’t provide jobs. People provide labor and companies exploit said labor for profit.
GoodJokes··on Apple employees say the company is cracking down on remote work
“Most others” Jesus, imagine thinking that most people have kids. If you want what you say you want for your kids I would probably get of the capitalism merry-go-round if you have that privilege. Otherwise good luck with that thinking you can work at Apple AND be the type of parent you want to be.
GoodJokes··on Lina Khan, Big Tech Critic, Will Lead the FTC
Please be more dismissive and patronizing of a person you know very little about. A DEI story? You are showing your insecurity.
GoodJokes··on Win at Risk by using systems thinking
I dislike games where it’s just a system to win. Kinda defeats the purpose. No actual gamesmanship.
GoodJokes··on Job board to work on problems like climate change and food insecurity
Problems like climate change and food insecurity are not technological problems at this point. They are political problems. The job board you want is the board that organizes people to demand political change.
GoodJokes··on Salary Negotiation: Make More Money, Be More Valued (2012)
Imagine a world where you don't have to put on a show to get paid fairly.
GoodJokes··on Amazon deletes job listings for analysts to track ‘labor organizing threats’
At some point you have to question people that choose to work at Amazon who have other options. At the very least.
GoodJokes··on Instagram kept deleted photos and messages on its servers for more than a year
Whenever someone writes a comment like this complaining that something is too hard I always want to remind them that that isn’t an excuse.
GoodJokes··on Elevator.js – A “back to top” button that behaves like a real elevator
Hacker News attracts a lot of readers who THINK they are smart or whatever that means.
GoodJokes··on Why are there so few black people in STEM?
So it is racism then? Its ok to say it. Its racism. OC was racist too.
GoodJokes··on Caught on camera, police explode in rage and violence across the US
Let’s be very clear, police are assaulting citizens in order to protect capital. Police protect capital not humans.
GoodJokes··on Proposed amendment to expand Patriot Act with warrantless access to web activity
VP breaks a tie.
GoodJokes··on Major union launches campaign to organize video game and tech workers
Sounds like you just had a bad union or said union was handicapped. A lot of unions now are not even "allowed" to strike, which is THE tool to secure better working conditions.
GoodJokes··on Amazon is about to host a homeless shelter in its Seattle headquarters
Or they could you know not blackmail the city into not raising its taxes. This is hugely cynical PR move on its part. Everyone know any one of the top 5 could solve homelessness in their cities if they actually cared about it. Arguing differently is just being needlessly Naive. Yes, we are all literally working nihilistic inhumane entities.
GoodJokes··on Labor board rolls back employee email rights after Google recommendation
Google doesn’t want its employees organizing. Why? One of the most crucial things about organizing is being able to contact your fellow employees. Yes the equipment is Google’s, but also I would contend that conversing with your fellow employees is in service to the company, in service of making the company better.

If I am trying to organize I would just send a blast asking everyone to add their personal emails to list. Could google call that organizing and penalize? What if I just wanted a personal email so I could schedule getting a beer.
