JaceLightning··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
> doesn't make sense for ICE to behave like some unaccountable secret police that hires the biggest assholes they can find who can then do whatever they want

ICE is run by the same people today as it was under Obama. No one had a problem with Deporter-in-Chief Obama. Any notion that ICE is "some unaccountable secret police" is unsubstantiated nonsense.

JaceLightning··on SpaceX is suing to bust up federal union protections
Oh that's easy. *They aren't*

An employee has one job: to help their employer make money. That's it.

If they aren't doing their job (by harming the reputation of their employer), then they shouldn't be employed.

JaceLightning··on SpaceX is suing to bust up federal union protections
Title is misleading. Has nothing to do with union protections.

Sounds like a strong case. Why should companies be forced to employ people who actively work to harm the reputation of said company?

No lol we won't have fully self driving cars in our lifetime. We would need cars to fully understand human speech and understanding and be able to react with 100% accuracy 100x faster than humans.

Possible? Yes, but not for decades to come.

JaceLightning··on Goodbye, clean code (2020)

Write clean code. Write better unit tests.

JaceLightning··on Justice Department says Google destroyed evidence related to antitrust lawsuit
Google Chat autodeletes ALL conversations after 24 hours. Not a legal thing. Not only a Google thing--it would do this for any other company using GSuite.

It's a bit of a stretch for the government to assume this feature exists solely to piss off the government.
