Two thoughts. Firstly if that's his point, his conclusion should match. Saying there is "no correlation" is a reach. Secondly, I'm not convinced I even believe that point. So is he…

I can't even bring myself to read this. After perusing and seeing it gets so emotional (bringing up eugenics, morality, etc), I have a hard time believing it's going to be objective. "T…

Meh. I think you can assume the average person is casually well-meaning. You can't assume the average person is trying to help you with all/most of their actions. I don't think you can …

Kind of a tough situation. I personally wouldn't be ready to accept this is the last such vulnerability that will be found. In light of this attack, maybe going forward have a setup script that c…

My main impression was that this site was blurring the line between professional "Bulletin" and scare-mongering. > Even if you didn't notice any unexpected symptoms, please: nuke and…

What are you talking about? It explicitly calls that out as 1 of 2 theories " After all, the pandemic has thus far tended to hit more liberal regions, like New York, harder than more conservative…

>>> If you're here, chances are you're already compromised. WTF does that mean? Our salt implementation is on an entirely private network, so why would I be more likely than not to …

"No I won't read your amateur Special Relativity 'Research Paper', you dumb patent clerk"

The point is -- at one point the founding fathers of America were terrorists, according to the government of the time. Those in authority will never be above questioning and doubting, even if that mea…

Well, as somebody who is unimpressed Amazon's corporate dystopia, yet also owns a significant amount of Amazon stock, I don't think the stock market is the place to look for these changes. A…

Eh, I know several of engineers who wouldn't interview at either facebook or amazon, because of their reputations. Maybe not a lot of people quit in disgust on the spot, but I have a hard time be…

I think the story is that he's a government official, presumably operating on inside information. Thus it's a conflict of interest. If I'm an official charged with managing public healt…

>>> To replace out MediaWiki with a Java-based alternative (XWiki) ended up taking a total fo 24 dev-years over 4+ calendar years for the team He can call himself 1x, but if he can stop just…

Meh, give us data or nothing. The secondhand (hearsay) of an anonymous internet identity is inadmissable in the court of my opinion.

Uh great, then he should cite his own test's accuracy rates and the other tests' accuracy rates and let the data bear that out. Conveniently, he refuses to say how accurate his company'…

A hundred times better than teenagers smoking.

Deleting email messages is 100% a thing. I saw it happen myself (and confirmed with coworkers) at one unicorn I worked at.

Which is why employees are disincentivized from trusting those managers.

Meh, it's been my experience that those charts are borderline worthless. The truth is promotions are probably only fractionally about performance. A lot of it is budget, creating pr/"bu…

This will be a boon for their competitors

Not to be a buzzkill, but I'd like the exact opposite. An operating system with no asm, no C. Processors are over 1,000x what they were when I was young, I wish I could trade some of that 1000x f…

Uh great... yeah just walk right into the CEO's office and tell them what's wrong... 0% chance of that coming back to affect your career....

Maybe not surprised, but morally outraged certainly

I think people are outraged not because it's illegal, but because it's unconscionable. I think the general understanding is people shouldn't have outside-work activities be held against…

I think it's fear mongering because it makes people worry whether grocery stores will be able to stay open. As somebody who lives in NYC, I can tell you right now, that if they didn't, it wo…

Well, these store have to stay open, no matter what. So I guess there's nothing to be done, other than have low-risk populations ready to fill these roles. Seems a little bit scare-mongery to me.…

How is you calling that guys numerical point worthless any different than if you said "Those grocery store workers aren't professionals, they don't know the odds, their opinion is meani…

What? So only people who bag groceries are allowed to double-check the math?

Seems fine. I've been using Skitch for a while, which seems to have all this and more (except gifs). Super easy to drop annotated screenshots straight into slack. https://evernote.com&…
