I imagine 900 1-on-1s could not be done quickly and word would spread very fast that firings were ramping up around the company. This would cause a whole lot of stress for those not being fired, just waiting for a call.

Given the alternatives, the 900-wide bandaid-ripping-off method seems best.

Whoops! You are correct and it looks like OP is right. I am unable to delete the News app from macOS.

> Banning Trump

After years of letting him say whatever he wanted, they waited until the opposing party was firmly seated and the threat of retaliation was lowest. Good move tactically I guess but it took no bravery.

Overall I agree with you, however on that last note: iOS has let you delete pretty much whatever you want for a while now. I just deleted the news app from my iPhone to test this out, successfully deleted. Not just removed from the home screen, removed from the phone.

Could you go into more detail on why you think this?

Thats not fairness, thats a known dark pattern being pushed on people.

Not hardly.

All of your 'wuts' are easily verifiable via a cursory search. There are ads for various MS services all over Windows.

The problem is that less tech savvy people wont know how to turn this off. They dont need to be advertised inside a product they _bought_. Should be opt-in, not out.

MS Teams installation:? Neither linux nor macos install Slack/Discord/etc for you out of the gate.

Telemetry:? Same as Ads; should be opt-in, not out.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this?

Free relatively harmless large-scale pen testing! Nice work.

It means they should definitely be on HN where they're very likely to learn new things.

It totally counts, but the goal posts are much easier to move when you organize things in a very specific way.

I dont actually see a reason to believe that _any_ of them would be telling the truth _ever_. There's no incentive to be honest and there's plenty incentive to not be.

Well of course you're "still not sure why"; you've "never used vim". How does one understand something they've never experienced?

We are looking for full stack engineers (aws/docker, python/flask/spark, js/react) to help us build out our product as we grow.

We are a VC-backed data aggregation and enterprise search startup, with a mission to enable scientifically driven organizations to make their next big discovery.

We’ve created this platform with proprietary machine learning algorithms, are proud to count amongst our clients four of the top twelve global pharmaceutical firms by market cap.

Here’s the listing if you’re interested.

Why? This website caters to more than just you and other software engineers.

This is the "next" technology I'm excited about. A cap/something that lets me provide another input device to my machine where I can treat it like a keyboard. Imagine being able to think about a chord and have that input sent to stdin.

What could be extra cool is just imagining a loop construct in your head and it just appears in your text editor.

Is there already a scene for this? Sign me up.

The point here is that it seems extremely unlikely image search results is the actual result of a sift through the available indexed data. Meaning that some manual mechanism is responsible for the page being blank.

I've been slowly building a homemade quadcopter over the last few years. One of the first times I tested it out it with all 4 motors it immediately headed my direction and caught me in the ankle before I could get out of the way. Nothing a bandaid couldn't fix but it sure sucked.

It's tethered to a test-stand now.

It is absurd to assume that there were zero firearms of any kind at that event. There aren't zero firearms at children's birthday parties.

> we should learn from how they did it

Lockdowns and people immediately willing be a part of the contract tracing part.

I wish to point out that the hell you're describing is also temporary, and would have possibly been much shorter if everyone had just gone along with it from the start.

I can corroborate this, living in Virginia for the last 20 years. We used to get a lot of snow when I was younger, and now we get a lot more days where the heat/humidity is almost unbearable, and a lot more storms that result in less snow, and more ice. Charlotte county recently had about 80% of their electrical infrastructure taken down by an ice storm. Not fun.

Ive attempted to explain the weather as a pendulum, the highs get higher and the lows get lower as the system attempts to find equilibrium while having energy added from outside an otherwise closed system.

It would be helpful to maybe elaborate on _why_ that is a stupid thing to say.

For the uninitiated: why was this a bad move by FSF?

Maybe you should have just told them about the laws.

Thats great and all, but exercising ones rights as a citizen does not explicitly exclude them from being an asshole.

Doing some research on the place you're about to sign a lease on seems like an important step. I've done this for every place I've ever chosen to live and it usually works out great. "We were here first" is plenty of justification of a whole lot of things.

Cool cool, new automated tests for deepfake libraries.

The tweet said: "The only good Brit soldier is a deed one, burn auld fella, buuuuurn."

Seems pretty innocuous compared to the stuff we normally see online. Hardly worth government intervention. Interested to see where this goes regardless.

Neither can anyone else, which I think is why we are where we are right now. TSLA shot up on what I'd always assumed was the equivalent of a feedback loop. I dont understand what will happen if/when that comes down but my blind guess is that it won't be pretty.
