hraedon··on FCC Passes Strict Net Neutrality Regulations on 3-2 Vote
An "error" that only exists in the most tendentious possible reading of the bill isn't evidence of anything other than the intent of the people challenging the ACA.
hraedon··on AppleID password brute force proof-of-concept
One of my credit cards requires a password no longer than 16 characters, no spaces, no special characters. They're only a few more restrictions away from just requiring that it be a significant birthday or something similar.
hraedon··on Rich Kid, Poor Kid: For 30 Years, Baltimore Study Tracked Who Gets Ahead
Hard to sustain the fiction that people deserve or earned their outcomes if hard work/effort/gumption/ambition doesn't make up the vast majority of the equation.

Establishing that most/many people are effectively doomed from birth even in the US takes a lot of the validity out of the "personal responsibility" argument.

hraedon··on Metal – Apple’s new graphics API
A7 and above, if the keynote is correct.
hraedon··on Penny Arcade’s Insultingly Horrible Job
God, did you even read his response? He took a similar job for a few years out of college but required and received competitive pay and equity (!) as well as a reasonable work/life balance. He was allowed to learn parts of that job on the fly: ie, he didn't come into it with the expectation that he know every aspect of it day one.

PA wants someone who not only has expert-level experience in several disciplines but is willing to work such a job to the exclusion of anything else while not getting paid a competitive salary nor receiving any sort of stake in their gaming media empire. This is absolutely in keeping with the worst inclinations of this industry, made worse by PA's knowledge of these practices in many of the companies they cover.

So, no, they are wildly different. This job is a good deal for no one and you do an immense disservice by carrying water for people that should know better.
