Hm, that bot makes loaded statements and attacks some groups. It also directly mentions several persons by name. Yet another sexist and racist troll on twitter.

nothing true is ever said in Florida

you can't be sexist to men

straight people don't deserve pride

Any chance to start a new company? I think original company failed because it had too much overhead (SF office, marketing, investors...)

There is a good brand, existing user base, big customers with references...

Lean distributed company could make a good profit here with minimal investment.

Earth-Centric model was actually scientifically better at that time. With Occam's razor you would prefer it.

- Even church agreed that Earth is not static, but is rotating.

- Nobody observed star parallax, major proof for Copernican model was missing until 19th century.

- Ptolemaic model with its epicycles provided better predictions.

- Copernican model is also wrong, planets are orbiting around center of gravity, which is outside of sun..

In my experience most writers are paid by word, and write very fast. Most content writers at Upwork seems to have very little procrastination..

In other terms, image as coder you are paid by number of lines you produce. And there is no compiler, no unit tests...

About page: "...goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black"

I can provide much more links; BLM wants separate government, budget, no police intervention... I think we all get it.

To carve out a safe space on campus where black students can get support from people who look like them and share similar backgrounds

That’s one reason another institution, the University of Connecticut, earlier this year announced a living community specifically for black men.... the school pointed out that young men of all backgrounds will be permitted to apply to the living community,

I think this is just a word-game and schools are backpedaling to remove ugly word 'segregation'. But in reality 99.9% people in those safe-spaces will be black.

It is nice they do something for men, but it will not help unless underlying sexism is solved.

Private offices are common, but not in the Bay

- It is a form of compensation. Cash/stock is preferred form here. To get other benefits (private office, remote) look at different place.

- Office space is at premium, private offices are expensive. Again look somewhere else.

- Startup culture is associated with open office. Large corporations are better with this :-(

- 'Extremely unproductive' is not an argument. Managers believe that programmers are equivalent/interchangeable cogs. There is no such thing as 10x ;-)

I would recommend:

- Block visual distractions as much as possible, 3x30" screen in pivot mode should do.

- Move into corner.

- Invest into big closed studio headphones with amplifier. Not active noise cancellation, but passive which covers entire ear. I got DT 770 PRO, best investment I ever did.

- Get ready for starting your own business and working remotely. I am afraid it is the only way :-(

Perhaps, but it made sense with 16MB RAM and 486 CPU. Current implementation uses 31 multiplier which is useless over 1M entries. This problem is also in Arrays.hash*() and many other places.

They should have done this 5 years ago. Dozens Chinese companies can produce quality phones with keyboard.

Imagine if BB would produce hardened-secured-enterprisey version of Android, rather than doing their 'not invented here'. They could had 30% of market by now.
