How is there absolutely no further comment about that in their RCA? That seems like a pretty major thing...

Personal accountability

That’s never been my observation. Tech people are some of the most arrogant people I’ve encountered, often asserting things outside of their domain. The delusion that being right in one area makes them right in other areas is real.

It’s the whole circle jerk about STEM being the ultimate degree fields in university, while humanities and liberal arts are looked down upon and sneered at.

This sentiment is so incomplete as to be utterly useless outside of a very narrow scope.

Good engineers are right a lot very specifically within their technical competency.

Simply saying "good engineers are right a lot" has pretty clearly resulted in a large group of people who think that because they're right a lot about things within their field, that quality of 'being right a lot' extends to things outside of their field, and that is terribly wrong as often as not. The hubris and entitlement that I've seen engendered in people who take this creed too seriously is really something to behold. It's part of what directly leads to the 'techbro' stereotype.

No, Kyle, just because you're right a lot about all things relating to Rust does NOT mean you know a fucking thing about economics, healthcare, or whatever the hell else it is you espouse your strongly held opinion on.

You're an ace at reading comprehension, friend. What part of 'if there's fraud it should be prosecuted' was missed by you?

My interpretation of OP's comments was as a call to sympathy. I'm saying I have very little.

If there's fraud, then prosecute it legally. But I am in no way obligated to feel any sympathy to investors getting fleeced. It's their responsibility to do their own due diligence, and if they're getting taken in for, I am hard pressed to give a shit.

Hard to believe his company was okay with paying for all of this, but neat! I’m jealous.

Not just networking issues, there are plenty of reports with external drives having problems as well.

Oh, I am so, so sad that this can’t be done remotely :( MASSIVE football fan, Burnley in particular. Go Clarets!

He’s absolutely correct about the ridiculous complexity of cloud tooling. The number of services, features, knobs, etc., available in AWS is borderline comical. I’m skeptical that half of the products they have really fill a gap and solve problems people had. Who’s asking for all of these new services that are constantly being rolled out? There’s so much cruft in their product offerings. Promotion at AWS is kind of like how it is at Google now, where a product is launched because someone needs to get their L8, not because customers are asking for it.

You can’t be that naive, can you? It’s obviously not the Tweet they’re worried about. They think the Tweet is indication that he supports Hamas enough to aid or promote them secretly. “If this guy is this outspoken publicly for his support of Hamas, what must he be doing to support them behind closed doors? Does he donate to them? Organize for them?”

Whether or not that’s enough to search him is another debate, but that’s what their thought process was when they decided to detain him.

Good lord, did that ever strike me as pretentious and cliche.

…right. Don’t blame the manufacturer for making shitty drives, blame tech review sites for testing those drives with the tools available and reporting the results of those tests. This is some 4D level victim blaming shit. I’m almost impressed at the absurdity of this argument.

I see the logic here, but I’m highly skeptical about how valid such a tool would be.

If a researcher comes out and says, “Surveys show that people want X, and they do not like Y,” and then others ask the researcher if they surveyed people, the answer would be “no.”

Fundamentally, people wanting feedback from humans will not get that by using your product.

The best you can say is this: “Our product is guessing people will say X.”

Agree. https://beehaw.org in particular is great

It’s kinda like email. You wouldn’t create an account with Google and expect that login to work anywhere else, would you? But your Gmail email address can send and receive to anyone else from any provider.

As far as which instance to join, well, that’s kinda like email, too. Look at the instances that are out there (the email providers in this example, like Gmail vs Mailfence), see if you like their policies and moderation and community “vibe,” and join the one that suits you.

https://beehaw.org is a big one that I like very much. Not really any memes there, the user base tends more toward the mature and considerate, and overall the level of interaction feels much better than Reddit ever did, post Digg exodus.

To be fair, neither is Rocky.

LOL my mind didn’t even go there, but now that you’ve said it, not sure how it didn’t

`man man`

I was using Kagi, and while I paid for them for a good while, I switched to DDG because I just can’t afford to subscribe to so many things. It’s money well spent and I agree with and support their philosophy, but man, all these monthly things add up.

Absolutely. His books are like slabs of lead (in the best way). Sitting down to read Cormac is a decision

No, it really doesn’t.

If they paid their mods, it might be a different conversation.

No one on Reddit asked investors to come over and invest. They did so because they thought they could get a return. Well, that’s the risk of being an investor, isn’t it?

Reddit brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year ($550m is what I recently heard). Let’s not pretend that the community is at all taking advantage of Reddit, right? I’m firstly skeptical that a site like Reddit can’t turn a profit on HALF A BILLION dollars a year, but fine. Let’s accept that’s the truth. They could have worked with the community on this. There are things they could’ve done. They could’ve:

- engaged the community on the changes

- given devs more than a mere 30 days to figure something out

- responded to repeated requests by the devs to work together

- provided options to the community on various methods of getting more revenue in

They did NONE of those things. The CEO lied and spat in their faces.
