It’s rational if you cognize that being the beneficiary of a long shot scheme or gamble is the only viable path to economic security for most, given the overall trajectory of the economy. Simply plot the median wage in terms of gold or any other hard commodity (as opposed to the gamed CPI metric).

How much child sex trafficking ring scandal does it contain?

Nextcloud is not great, it's just the only available package that approximates an all-in-one GSuite experience. In practice, the UI is really janky and unpolished.

Headscale only supports a single control node.

Libya for one.

All the wars which are said to be for resources like oil are actually over the US financial system’s monopoly over access to such commodities as it tends not to be practical to execute complex resource extraction in countries devastated by war.

The US has pointed and fired guns at other countries for moving away from US treasuries, but alternative justifications are produced to reassure our domestic population that it’s really because the foreign leader is a very bad guy.

How do you know that conclusion is not the product of brainwashing? MKULTRA is just what we know about with certainty.

Even the official CPC line is critical of Mao. The assertion is not that all Chinese people believe the same thing or all necessarily belief different things from dominant western narratives on every issue. The assertion is simply that: some narratives are dominant in the West and treated as closed issues without any room for critical discussion or nuance. Deviating from those narratives is punished in a variety of ways through social and institutional enforcement.

The fact that you immediately think you know what the author I referenced has written and continue to plow forward with your pre-established conclusions is evidence of the “dominant western narrative” effect.

Accounts from well-off diaspora of any country will always be negative. It’s a self-selecting group with specific interests.

Read Dongping Han

It has done nothing for so long that it may now be impossible to make it do something useful.

Actually if you completely rule out the possibility of harshness then you are giving license to let yourself be walked over and for standards to drop to zero. It might make you feel like a big enlightened man inside to do so, but the proper application of firmness and pressure is absolutely effective in leadership.

I do about what?

I haven’t actually used harsh language with anyone so I’m not sure what your point is. I have been on HN long enough to know that expressions of strong negative emotion are punished here. That says absolutely nothing about the effectiveness of different methods of influence within an organization.

I think if people are rallying to defend GitHub due to some language that ruffled their feathers and not objective technical merit then they have completely lost the plot as engineers.

As far as Andrew’s goals, I think he has been pretty successful within the framework of the attention economy.

No but I won’t rule it out for the incorrigible

Why do you consider that a useful metric? Hit dogs holler, after all.

The methods for influencing results within an organization exist on a spectrum, and failing to adequately utilize the breadth of that spectrum is always counter-productive.

Why does intellectual work imply that people doing poor work need to be treated like fragile little birds?

Sometimes people need to be shocked awake. Reality is harsh, and gentle language doesn't change that.

Low abstraction overhead and no ‘big ideas’. It tries to simplify the problem of low-level systems programming by learning from the lessons of the past 50 years.

You're inventing a new definition of the term 2FA. The problem it was created to solve was the ability of attackers to remotely access services using weak or compromised user passwords. This is relatively low cost to do on a mass scale whereas rooting each individual's computer to compromise their password manager is not.

It does not defeat the purpose of 2FA as possession of the decrypted 1Password vault is the second factor.

So you think the free market should serve social ends?

You have a remarkably closed mind.

The only point of the web browser is to achieve the user value accomplished by web pages and web applications. My point is there's nothing about that problem which inevitably requires "incredibly complex" software.

That's not germane

You take for granted that delivering the user value of a web application needs to be in the form of dealing with "HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, SGML, SVG, etc. An entire runtime environment with garbage collector." There is nothing inevitable about that.

Have you shipped a commercial-quality 3D game engine and game? How long did it take you?

Are people allowed to lie and withhold information in politics?

What would he say differently if he also knew what they were?
