da_big_ghey··on Meow Hash (2018)
Seahash came out very well last I have seen in it, any comparison? https://docs.rs/seahash/4.1.0/seahash/
da_big_ghey··on CNN goes first two weeks of October without any program reaching 1M viewers
No, he did not take horse dewormer paste like some person have when they had no prescription. He received prescription and took human formulation. This "horse dewormer" description is only some effort at a smear campaign.
da_big_ghey··on Banks, gangsters and the strange resurgence of cash
No this probably is astroturfing a fear of what is being done with cash, try to make it seem like having cash is not normal and only for crime, then government can ban it to gain more complete control on monetary system and all transaction.
da_big_ghey··on Banks, gangsters and the strange resurgence of cash
I dont think either of those is any great option but government has really damaged our banking system. Having no ability to withdraw own money or having the IRS snoop if you have more than $x in an account is so really wrong and makes me want to look elsewhere, just there dont seem to be many good alternatives.
da_big_ghey··on Head of California's largest union arrested for theft, fraud
I can not tell, is it better because he employ them or worse sense he probably pay them below market and so is "exploiting"? Sometimes it is hard to find how Californian thinks.

I do not understand why you mean, it is obvious no.
da_big_ghey··on Apple fires leader of AppleToo movement
I guess i forgot some consideration that disaffected brogrammers may start new revolution for payed only $85,000 not $125,000.

Guild is some exception, not so common in unions. Always it end up more like typical aflcio union. I also have made some switch between front end and back end in job, have done some security job and back to normal developing, all these are usually harder in unions. Maybe in theory it is not required but in practice it is almost always this way.

Also I have started prior tech company, it would have been hugely difficult if i had to make negotiations with unions.

Why it is selfish for me to want my paycheck but not when you want me to take some maybe paycut to pay you more?
da_big_ghey··on Apple fires leader of AppleToo movement
But if i turn over to a union there is small assurance i will not take some pay cut. I doubt people making so much are top of bargaining priority list, probably more rank-and-files level are their focus. And then I have turned over my rights to majority, so it is suck up what my coworker wants or leave. It is similar for employer, i must suck up what it want or leave, but I already known these terms are okay with employer. Since i am not in majority bracket of workers this probably is not good.
da_big_ghey··on Apple fires leader of AppleToo movement
But industries are always joining some of the mega-union because they have most effective lobbying, I will quit before I join aflcio or similar.
da_big_ghey··on Women earned the majority of doctoral degrees in 2020 for the 12th straight year
So much condescension in your response, no I am not expecting a child to find role model, only that there is more place than public school where child finds the role model. This is exactly why I had a list of others, church, boy scouts, etc. I knew some growing up who had no good father figure, these were places they find them. I think we must limit degree to which government employee acts as role model for child.

I do not think child participates in "patriarchal aristocracy", I only say that me and many other people I know have found other role model than biological father even without having male teacher. I do not know why there is pertinence on children out of wedlock, we mostly still see it as bad but I think you have already some anger on this subject and it has no relation here. Are you making statements that government school must provide male role model so women can have children without marriage and those children have role model? In loco parentis is not the intended normal course for all children to such an extent.

Its not criticism that is any problem. Its going to press to try to force some change when you are not getting entirely your way. This is a bad thing. Correct answer if this person was seriously in the interest of Apple would be write letters to shareholders/board if management has ignore the concern.
da_big_ghey··on Apple fires leader of AppleToo movement
Agree, I am confused why the surprise that somebody bad-mouth an employer publicly and get fired for it. Ask, if you were in a business, you have a problem employee who will not stop talking to press to make a public damage against your reputation. How can you handle this when this employee will not stop? Said person is now working against your company interests and not for.

Along with a file sharing app where she could have moved basically any data (google drive) yes? Not a good look for her. This was work device, I am surprised people still have not learned that no personal thing can ever touch work device.
da_big_ghey··on Trust-Busting as the Unsexy Answer to Google and Facebook
What do you believe to be a "legitimate" use for this data then once it his holding by such a company with register and bond? Most times somebody need to authorize data for HIPPA people just sign and say it is fine, why wouldn't this happen here? People become used to some site saying "this site needs access to your data"? How is there any difference except one more layer of indirection? Or perhaps I am misunderstanding your statements.

I dont know if this truly is a core problem, boys have a father for role model and many other places in their community they can get one too: church, boy scouts, friends fathers, others. For a long time teacher was only a job for young unwed women, but we did not have this problem with boys, so I am thinking it's not a sole cause.

Cant believe unsubstantial lies on election fraud are now in HN also. I demand sources.
da_big_ghey··on Southwest new CEO denies walk-off rumors, defends pilots amid schedule meltdown
Some of those jobs went to people who now have power, former mistress with some such job is now Vice President. So no surprise in there.
da_big_ghey··on JPMorgan's Dimon blasts Bitcoin as 'worthless', due for regulation
I am not always crypto advocate but how can any person take this seriously, what a massive conflict of interest we have here. If I ran some large business I probably also would say some potential competitor was worthless and due for regulation. Maybe bitcoin is not a competitor, but maybe it is, and maybe some other "fintech" or "defi" is a future competitor, if Dimon tar Bitcoin as a bad scam tech now and get these regulations he is stopping future competition before it becomes any problem.
da_big_ghey··on European Parliament Calls for a Ban on Facial Recognition
Well i don't trust government to collect data on movements of every person but only use it with a warrant... i have issue with red-light camera for exactly this reason, we are not london, we should not have constant government surveilling. I am also concerned significantly by ring doorbell and similar, but unsure for what solution we need use. I think maybe as a first step we say they may not record any outside of a person's own property line.
da_big_ghey··on I'm sorry
Maybe since this person has a prominent place there is an attempt to set a better example for others? Not a cool move by Oren but maybe a "teachable moment".
da_big_ghey··on European Parliament Calls for a Ban on Facial Recognition
Only if face images also are acquired from a legitimate investigation (ideally a prior criminal conviction). Police cannot observe a face for years until they get a warrant then all suddenly have years of data, that is wrong.
da_big_ghey··on A trillion-dollar coin could be minted within hours of an emergency decision
Military entire budget is less than 1 trillion though, it is these entitlement spending that consume most dollars at the federal level.
da_big_ghey··on A trillion-dollar coin could be minted within hours of an emergency decision
And we were told these ideas were rediculous, look now what we are seeing though.
da_big_ghey··on A trillion-dollar coin could be minted within hours of an emergency decision
Spend less now so we can use the saved money for paying off old spending?

Constitution is whitelist not blacklist, what part give it permission?
da_big_ghey··on New York's largest healthcare provider fires 1,400 unvaccinated workers
Unconstitutional. It is unconstitutional. And morally wrong, and very corrupt (look at literally anything Hoover have done, or recent scandal with spying, or Page and Strzok.)
