You already valued your own labor at zero by giving it away for free. How is taking something you give away for free suddenly considered "stealing"?

In what world is the technology for an autonomous car “repulsive”?

It seems like you’re into using new technology like AI, based on the success you’ve had using it:

Or maybe you think autonomous cars are as evil as AI:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49644738 > There is no room for nuance. AI is capitals access to our labour. It's evil. The end.

Your views on technology sure are interesting, to say the least.

Interesting. Everyone that read the article also heard that.

Why stop at a free password manager? Why not free food, clothes, cars, and everything else while you’re making demands?

Or is it just software that has zero value to you because it’s intangible and you intentionally ignore the time and effort other people spend on it?

No, it just shows they will kowtow, not that there will be any consequences if they don’t.

Meta is. That’s very clearly stated in the article and literally no one is disputing that fact.

> Yeah... as a US citizen and taxpayer I think I'd like that $4 billion back.

It was never yours in the first place. It was their money they kept, not money given to them by the government. I don’t know why this distinction is so difficult for people.

It’s kind of funny that all of the complaints about optionality apply equally to Vulkan. Google even created the same profile solution with “Android Vulkan Profiles (AVP)”.

I suspect Vulkan suffers from the same design by committee problem, which similarly caused it to miss seemingly basic features in the base spec that then need to be filled in with extensions and also made it too difficult for developers to want to move too.

Considering Intel has vulkan video disabled in Mesa for recent chips, I’m guessing very little.

It was sanctioned by the CEO. How much was their job actually at risk?

Apparently they live in a nursing home in 2020 still, because no one else is dying of covid anymore. Especially not young or healthy people within the last few years.

> They’d even distrust “stand further apart” if the wrong person said it.

They shouldn’t believe it no matter who says it. The entire concept of “social distancing” was completely made up and had no science behind it. It belongs in the same bucket of nonsense as “mask up between bites.”

Enforcing a healthy diet and exercise would have a vastly larger impact than any seatbelt laws in terms of reducing health care costs. Seatbelts and smoking always seem to be about as far as the advocates are willing to go though.

What is a speed light camera?

> When code is expensive to produce and is likely to stay in production for many years it's obviously important to review it very carefully. If code is cheap and can be inexpensively replaced maybe we can lower our review standards?

I don't care how cheap it is to replace the incorrect code when it's modifying my bank account or keeping my lights on.

This is the same thing as `git rebase-update`, available in Chrome's `depot_tools`, which deletes merged branches.

Beyond that, this is just OP learning how `xargs` works.

If my car’s brakes have a design flaw and don’t stop my car reliably, I don’t expect to have to keep paying for my car to get them fixed. The manufacturer’s warranty covers that, and bugs in your software fall into the same bucket.

> Their standards forever dropping

And yet their standards still haven’t dropped low enough for Linux to be an acceptable replacement. I don’t think that’s a knock on the Windows user, but an indication that Linux desktop (and its replacement applications) still isn’t user-friendly enough for most people.

I expect the formatter/linter to be run as part of presubmit and/or committing the code so it doesn't matter how it's edited and saved by the developer. It's strange to hear of a specific IDE being mandated to work around that, and making quick edits with tools like vi unsupported.

No one has ever cross-shopped an S2k and an FF.

My first thought is using your union representative to amplify your voice. Presumably the union doesn't want to be associated with, or known to be representing, racists so it's in their best interests to denounce these types of statements.

> There’s little doubt that racism played a role in identifying children as gifted even though the label was based on supposedly objective criteria.

Why has the LA Times settled on racist teachers as the only reason for the skew in enrollment numbers, and why aren’t teachers upset the LA Times are calling them racists?

I’m constantly surprised how often accusations like this are thrown around and how little pushback there is by those accused of it.

The reasoning I’ve heard is that Bluetooth traffic is easily snoopable without physical access to the device. Someone could potentially steal password keystrokes while sitting outside the office building, on the other side of a window with the shades drawn, whereas with USB you still need to get past the physical security and be at their desk.

> Good heavens. How were we meant to know that?

It’s literally referenced in the comment that poster is replying to. It would have been less work to just pay attention.

> The ability to focus on some things but not others is perfectly consistent with ADHD.

This is an insanely broad definition that literally the entire population would fall under.

> You might find it easy but that doesn't mean others will.

No one finds concentrating on any and every subject easy. Assuming this is due to ADHD, and not something in their control, is a cop out.

Sublime does it, at least with Merge.

It’s weird to think Linux programs would somehow be different from Windows in this regard. Why would a program running in Linux are more altruistic (for lack of a better term) than one running in Windows?

Both of the examples in the quote give you the answer: talk to someone that’s actually done it.

It’s always amazing to me how often the person 3 desks over has already solved the same problem, but is never asked how by the next person. Instead, too many people act like they’re the first person to ever attempt whatever they’re working on.

Are you asking or telling?

> Why am I expected to pay another $10 to block ads.

You aren't.

Twitch Turbo costs $12/month. If you're spending more than that on multiple subscriptions then you're better off getting Twitch Turbo and not getting ads on any stream, rather than just those you subscribe to.

I tend to agree, assuming there are no false positives. Admittedly, I’m not sure how often that occurs, nor if we even can know that based on all the various work environments the cheap table saws are being used in today.
