This is a long post about someone who has very obviously just gotten into politics. It is good for people to try and see how to impart change. Here are some constructive critical questions for the author:

1. Why no mention of No Tech For Apartheid or Google Workers United, who have been doing similar work for years?

2. What about all of the other police, DHS, and military contracts Google has been a part of? Did this problem really just start with the second (not even the first!) Trump presidency?

3. What does a focus on exclusively those at the top levels of a hierarchy, with minimal focus on incentive structures and wider systems, say about your theory of change? Was there a power analysis done, or was it assumed that "big title" = "powerful"?

Side Note: Incredibly insulting of James Dean to say email 3 CEOs.

Not to be rude, but this post just puts unwarranted faith in "science" and "experts".

For example, experts apparently collect evidence in "an unbiased, objective manner". What? Says who. Those "methods have to be available to other scientists for replication." Seems like an odd thing for an article with no author and two citations.

Frankly, there is no objective research, and fetishizing authority and "experts" (a group of people where, e.g., African Americans are underrepresented) is both harmful and dumb. There is a ton of literature on how science often does not follow it's systematic claims at all, check out Kuhn's work for an intro.

the point is the people in power represent a limited set of elites that are not invested in the best interests of anyone but themselves

This book was absolutely revolutionary for me

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right but either duktape or WebView might do what you want.

A far more interesting article with less focus on discounting feminist concepts out of hand

this vaguely aligns with my experiences

If you could anywhere it'd be the east side (think starting in NY), itd be a lot easier if coaches and trains were allowed though.

I mean...hopefully eventually ..

I wish I could tell you, there is something to be said about 1) being live with no recording so records of dissent dont exist and 2) like the other commenter said slow government response

I suspect it's a lot of small things and social network multiplicative effect

I'm an Iranian-American and it's MASSIVE in Iran, only heard about it here and there in the US

That's so cool! Are you able/willing to share the course name/a course page?

Probably true, but the point was that the daughter was capable of quick multiplication, the age of the dog was..decidedly a minor detail.

Some things just need more memorization than others. I used a ton of flashcards for Latin vocab and learning the farsi alphabet but almost none for my CS classes (used notes for those).

Hello! I'm an osu student that has taken the calc sequence and very much appreciates the effort. I'll be watching the repo for sure

I don't think that's what they meant but it's a good point! I've seen embedded developers write some...truly terrifying code though.

Communism is not built on equality really "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" conveys inequalities everywhere.

Yeah the serif/sans distinction is definitely down the list compared to font size, column width, line spacing, contrast, etc. I just brought it up because I consider it part of the "LaTeX" style. But you're right...something something premature optimization

I think it depends on the language and background. Learning Go is maybe a 20 hour enterprise. Learning C++ if you're coming from Rust? Maybe 20-40 hours, not sure. Learning C++ coming from Python? Well....buckle up.

Same in reverse btw. Going from C++ to Python is probably easier than Python to C++, but it's still not going to be as easy as, let's say, java -> C# imo.

I also forgot to mention that for most people at low dpi (I would say 300dpi and lower, but I personally wouldn't use a serif till ~1500dpi) sans-serifs are more legible. This blog post has some good information: https://geniusee.com/single-blog/font-readability-research-f...

I had better sources at some point but I'll have to dig them up.

This is maybe the third time I've seen the concept of a LaTeX styled html page and it never seems like a good idea to me. I'm all for math typesetting in HTML, but I no longer "believe" in justification, especially not browser's dissatisfying one-paragraph based techniques. But even with knuth-plass I have reasons to suspect ragged right text is better, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27189306 I'm willing to change my mind with more evidence, justified text is pretty.

I use the mobile YouTube website, surprisingly usable and I dodged the whole weird YouTube quality selector thing. (Things usually trickle in later though, they only added the weird comments-not-at-the-bottom thing recently)

Good story but for some reason has a distinctive...LinkedIn story vibe. I can't put my finger on it.

The problem with running my own email is I don't want the hassle of convincing Google I'm not spam.

I also use the bridge with Thunderbird with no problems.

I didn't get it till reading this.

If you want to really get into. A general note is the context around the image is just as important as the alt text.

This as of now also applies to most Rust UI libs, hence why I don't use them. At least in that community each UI kit has an 'accessibility' issue though so hopefully improvements to come.

Very interesting, I didn't know pkgsrc could be used on Linux, I'll check it out. In general the only things keeping me from BSD are non free apps like Zoom so the next best thing is to BSDify my systems.

Could probably find a more authoritative statement but just a quick search.
