The article was originally written for Financial Times, whose audience will have a general knowledge of computing. Also, what the heck is MRC?

Twitter is a private platform that has a 1st amendment right to exercise editorial control about what happens to their own platform. Same for a blog with a comment section, a restaurant review service, a moderated forum about tech news, an image sharing service. It shouldn't matter how large a corporate entity is. Same for the cable news networks. Same for newspapers and magazines.

Can we get new commentary from a person effectively living in a world without timezones, ie, China?

New York as in New York City? Everything needs to be trucked in and out and there are toll bridges everywhere. Go to the suburbs and food is cheaper. Go further and it’s way cheaper.

Wait, so did he get fired, or did he resign?

"What an imbalance of power and being an engineer who feels a strong desire to empower other engineers, I reached my limits and wanted out. A few weeks later, a developer on a neighboring team who reported to the same management resigned."

> No windows? Sunlight alarms exist. They're great. Modern AC is also great.

From an economic standpoint, why spend money on an inferior substitute when you can get the real thing for free?!

By that logic, we should all be living in prison cells.

The reason old NYC buildings have radiators that are so hot, you need to open a window to let in the winter air, is because they were purposely designed that way. Because of the 1918 flu pandemic.[0]

Also, there are a bunch of things that we consider normal that were born of crisis: [1]

NYC has a law that for a room to be legally called a bedroom, it must have a window that's not on a lot line. I can't believe California doesn't have a law like that.

Your thoughts remind me of this classic: https://xkcd.com/592

> What's worse, their pension plan was mostly invested in Nortel stock.

Why? Didn't they see what happened with Enron? Or did they try to diversify but couldn't?

Just take the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. Oh, there’s a toll? That’ll be a moot point when congestion pricing happens in 2 years.

What in the US Constitution is preventing Congress from passing a law establishing national identity tokens? I’d figure that would be done under Congress’s power “To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization.”

The CEO probably could’ve survived the data breach if not for the Target Canada fiasco.

Name a case.

So if you had gotten lost in actual NY, say, in Greenwich Village or another tourist-friendly rich neighborhood, you would’ve stayed?

I went to a Yale arts open house one time, and all the studios I visited had daylight and were about the size of a 2-person dorm room. Different departments with different budgets?

> A member of the public, who wishes to remain anonymous

If you had the option to remain anonymous by going to a trusted media organization that has a reputation of balancing the public right-to-know with national security concerns, and avoid getting Richard Jewell treatment, you’d take it.

JFK/EWR/LGA - it's the same congested airspace. Does it really make much of a difference?

The planned routes are EWR-LHR, EWR-FRA, and SFO-NRT.

United had pulled out of JFK in 2015, but just recently came back, because it turned out JFK's "prestige" factor impacted their business. EWR is a major United hub, but the idea of EWR being blessed with the "prestige" of supersonic flight is a bit funny.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if it gets moved to JFK as United rebuilds their operation there. A lot can happen in 8 years.

Why are we so hung up on keeping texts? (I'm guilty of this hang-up too.) I didn't archive my AIM messages. I don't record my phone conversations.

I realized that when I got to #24. The item is still valid, though.

So where would a EU fab be located?

My parents have an old Verizon DSL account, and their email got moved to yahoo, but the address still has verizon.net

That's the article, thanks for finding it.

I can't find the column right now, but the columnist I read said that some of the internal tensions of the New York Times newsroom that have spilled out into public (well, "public" as defined by Twitter's reality distortion field) are partly due to having employees -- specifically, the highly-valued and sought after tech employees -- having a greater say in corporate policy that their predecessors, the printing press operators and the delivery men, didn't have.

Making London bankers feel at home?

And JFK is not even in the actual neighborhood of Jamaica. It’s just an artifact of how the postal codes were assigned - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Queens_neighborhoods#P...
