Absolutely. Insightful LinkedIn posts from thought leaders who complete every sentence or utterance of a thought with two line breaks...

Like this.

Aren't going to write themselves, are they? :D

Side tangent: On one hand I have a subtle fondness for PHP, perhaps because it was the first programming language I ever “learned” (self taught, throwing spaghetti on the wall) back in high school when LAMP stacks were all the rage.

But in retrospect it’s absolutely baffling that mixing raw SQL queries with HTML tag soup wasn’t necessarily uncommon then. Also, I haven’t met many PHP developers that I’d recommend for a PHP job.

It’s wild when you put it into context. I remember when Gmail first opened to the public with a whopping *1 GB* of storage… now the app alone almost exceeds that.

"objectively distasteful" - citation needed

Are you okay mate? Frankly your comments are absolutely unhinged. And that's not a value judgement, that's an observation.

As another AWS shareholder, I can agree with most of your points however this one requires citation (emphasis mine)

> numerous underperforming hires _made to meet diversity targets rather than capability needs_

> The Biden administration had (and used) the ability to demote conservative news outlets on Facebook and Twitter.

This is categorically false. Are you referring to this story, where the Biden administration asked Facebook to take down Covid misinformation and "expressed a lot of frustration" when Zuckerberg told them no?

If not, then where did you learn that the Biden administration "had (and used) the ability to demote conservative news outlets on Facebook and Twitter"?

Correct. The word headcount is not new but referring to employees as “heads” on a podcast while openly gloating about firing them certainly is. Also, a leader of a company using the word “I” instead of “we” when talking about said company is certainly telling.

"She had been doing crap job" with all due respect, citation needed.

With all due respect, your comment is absolutely unhinged and that is the best faith interpretation I can infer from it. I sincerely hope views like yours are in the minority.

No, that is indeed what you argued. I suppose I’ll repeat the same question you’ve been asked several times now, do you have an actual argument against the valid skepticism of Elon’s robotaxi business?

Whoa hold on. I was with you until “the overwhelming majority of incels are android users.” How did you draw that conclusion?

I’m going to be honest, I try to assume good faith from others on this forum but your comment makes that particularly difficult. By “issue that you and I would rather discuss” are you referring to the Secretary of Commerce’s unprecedented public endorsement to buy a specific stock, of which the President’s primary advisor is the majority shareholder? Because if that’s what you’re suggesting well, that’s pretty wild. Especially considering the second paragraph of the article highlights exactly what the article is about:

“Why it matters: Cabinet secretaries don't typically recommend individual stocks, much less those linked to the president's closest adviser.”

> What the OP and others like them actually want is a total lack of accountability for bad actors, and they will pick whatever argument is convenient in that moment regardless of consistency.

Thank you for eloquently putting this into words.

I visit hacker news for insightful discussions and this ain’t it chief. The world is much larger than your bubble and sticking your fingers in your ears doesn’t change that.
