I read a post from someone who got as far as showing up to view an apartment on reservation only to find there was no reservation or available apartment. "Oh, that's our chatbot!"

There are plenty of reasons to not like him. Few of them relate to business.

Both sides pledged to support and defend the constitution when they took the job. One side is refusing to do that. The compromise is they pay their debts and think about this the next time they want to give billionaires a tax cut.

> "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

The GOP has gotten increasingly radical since throwing in with Evangelicals and segregationists[0]. It accelerated with the Tea Party[1] wave which dragged the party further to the right, and keeps getting worse. We always came back from the brink because a shrinking number of cooler heads prevailed. Coming back this time depends on there being enough cooler heads.

The constitution is, in the end, a piece of old paper in a climate controlled box. It's on humans to bring it to life. Humans don't always do the things they say they will on paper even if they put one hand on a different book of paper and swear to while everyone watches.

A bottom 20% can become a top 1% with more life experience. Humans are versatile.

Losing a job, like any major life event, can cause a rethink on this sort of thing. The average age of a successful startup founder is 45 for a reason. Most of them spent some time employed in the industry of the startup. Before that, they probably bounce between a job and trying to make it on their own.

You'd think she would have been more sympathetic to trans people and understanding of the anger underlying a lot of the response, given all that.

It's true that not enough space is given to de-transitioners, but much of the discourse focuses on the very, very, very tiny number of people who did it because they didn't have dysphoria rather than the vast majority who did it because the social stigma and difficulty with employment turned out to be worse than the dysphoria. Detransition is turned into a weapon against trans people when it should be something that exists at peace with the majority who transition and are happy with it.

Calckey recently gained the ability to migrate posts. Even from Mastodon. Maybe that'll motivate Mastodon and the forks to prioritize it.

Sidekiq seems to be the culprit from what I've seen and read from people who've run into this issue. It gets overloaded fast if you don't have enough processing power in front of the queue. Lighter implementations apparently do something different, or are more efficient in handling their queues without whatever overhead Sidekiq adds.

There's a discourse clash.

AT and Bluesky are unfinished. Not ready for primetime. It's not fair to compare it to mature, well-developed stuff with W3C specs and millions of active users on thousands of servers with numerous popular forks.

But, also, everyone who hates Mastodon and spent the last months-years complaining about it is treating your project like the promised land that will lead them into the Twitterless future, somehow having gotten the impression that it's finished and ready to scale.

I think most critiques of Bluesky/AT are actually responding to this even if the authors don't realize it. They're frustrated at the discourse, the potshots, and the noise from these people.

It was probably the violent, racist screed that came out during discovery in the Dominion suit on top of the sexist stuff. Even Fox News has standards. Specifically, hosts can't be seen or heard saying the quiet part out loud.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Athens, GA is good if you want something that feels a little more small town but still has (free!) bus stops everywhere, the occasional rainbow flag, and enough food and entertainment options that you'll never be bored.

Jordan Klepper comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1VpraYEUPk

He can interview the most self-stereotyping person, mock them mercilessly, and they'll have no idea because he's so earnest.

The existing pipeline is increasingly an app. (anecdotally from friends with kids in school)

It's another in a long line of front-line reactionary thought-terminating clichés. It replaced "SJW"

As always, there's a good classic sci-fi story on this subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profession_(novella)

Except kids learn everything with tapes, updated and improved using new knowledge created by a rare few, beamed into their heads rather than depending on LLMs.

It's also a Stargate episode: https://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s3/learning-curve/

Your lack of familiarity with the phrase and misunderstanding your own source does not actually prove anything.

Here, I'll give you a head start on doing what I suggested.

That sure looks like a phrase used across a wide range of contexts and unconnected fields, too wide to support any notion that it's obscure. There's even a non-English news outlet using it in its English coverage.

2008 started in 2006 when the housing bubble started to burst. It was a slow burn through to 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed and revealed how bad things were. These things are always cascade failures that start slow and isolated, and no one has been able to predict each domino before it falls. It could be years before anyone can draw a line back to the stage-setting events of the next collapse.

I don't know what they're looking at, but I suspect there will be some fallout as we find out how many complicated investment vehicles were wrapped up and set on top of cryptocurrencies.

It looks like two ordinary but partially deflated heart-shaped balloons tied together.

Grow weary (tired of) and grow wary (suspicious of/concerned about) are different things though. Irregardless is a modification of the already useful regardless. I'm not sure how they're comparable.

You said it's not a thing. It is, in fact, a thing. I've heard it and said it often enough to be sure it's not so uncommon that it's reasonable to say it's not a thing.

You also need to keep in mind what Google Ngram is.

https://books.google.com/ngrams/info

> "When you enter phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (e.g., "British English", "English Fiction", "French") over the selected years."

It's a collection of books. Books remain relevant, but it tells you nothing of usage outside that. You only have to run a search on Google to see that it's used in a wide range of unrelated contexts. It's not some obscure anachronism or regionalism.

Always remember to mind the y-axis and scale when looking at and thinking about graphs. They can be deceptive even without meaning to.

Their comment appears to be about ability to pay, not value.

I wonder what the industry attrition rate is. How many move to another tech company, and how many move on to a new career? This boom is old enough that a large portion of people who got in at the start out of college (or by skipping college) should be in or approaching their 30s where people start reevaluating their priorities.

MHTML is almost as old as Google and was first implemented by Internet Explorer in 2001. They're identical to .eml files too (it's plain old MIME), so you can load them in your email client if you're so inclined.

What's weird about posting news of a breach of a major site on a news aggregator?

Same, except I found out on Mastodon and posted it to HN.

They were lead generation for his paid services. Unless premium means something different in Israel.
