askimto··on The State of JavaScript - Brendan Eich
Now can you start ignoring haberman like you said you would? Your belligerent comments are getting a bit old at this point. You hate NaCl. We get it. Criticizing a slide makes you upset. OK. Understood.
askimto··on When Academic Disagreement Becomes Harassment and Persecution
No rebuttal of concerns in the "paper" except to say that it was improper to identify the schools?

No explanation of why she contacted the police about Wayne?

No explanation of why she apparently thinks hosting a not-peer-reviewed paper online is wrong?

No sympathy from me.

Ah, missed that. Thanks!

You mean like how the US prevented Gaddafi from slaughtering people in Benghazi? Yes I imagine even more people there have a favorable opinion of the US now.

Bezos and Musk deliver.
askimto··on One on One
The case for one-on-ones in the follow-up is better. I would have found your colleague's first post on the subject satirical if I didn't know any better. The overall topic was about what it takes to make a company a good place to work and includes a conversation that makes Ben sound like an asshole (does he think he sounds like a badass?) and ends this way:

“In summary, you and Tim are preventing me from achieving my one and only goal. You have become a barrier blocking me from achieving my most important goal.  As a result, if Tim doesn’t meet with each one of his employees in the next 24 hours, I will have no choice but to fire him and to fire you. Are we clear?”

Now really, just imagine the conversation with Tim and his boss later that day... Then the quality of all the one-on-ones with Tim and his reports...

Maybe you should get someone to review some of these posts because Ben just embarrassed himself with that previous one.

Please contrast with the executive management where you work because it would be nice to have some insight into what led up to recent decisions at Joyent.
