dkdk8283··on Pfizer pushes back FDA submission for pediatric Covid vaccine
The impact is negligible, just more virtue signaling.
dkdk8283··on Bay Area car owners leaving trunks open while parked amid wave of car break-ins
SF is signaling it’s ok to be a criminal, because maybe someone was poor and doesn’t know better?

even if it’s true there will be people to take advantage of it. the sf bay created its own toxic political environment and they’re paying the price.

dkdk8283··on San Francisco exodus isn’t over, according to new migration data
And intolerant of entire schools of thought
dkdk8283··on Netflix Executive Sentenced to 30 Months for 700K Bribes, Kickbacks from Vendors
It’s human nature to scratch each other’s backs. It’s happening, will continue to happen, and there’s little which can be done.

It’s always a game of cat and mouse. Legalizing small time bribery where it can be done out in the open would probably be far more effective then advocating for things like increased workplace surveillance.

Thinking commerce can happen without corruption or kickbacks is just naive.

dkdk8283··on San Francisco exodus isn’t over, according to new migration data
Is there anything left of SF? It’s been a shitshow for years , why anyone wants to live there is perplexing.
dkdk8283··on Don't start with microservices – monoliths are your friend
Which can also be done on a right sized ec2 instance.
dkdk8283··on Pelosi defends stock trading by lawmakers. ‘We are a free-market economy’
Pelosi is vile, not only in her conduct but what she represents. The sooner she leaves office the better off we all are.
dkdk8283··on Reddit files to go public
I would change careers if I had to work in VR. I don’t like people and wfh is a dream. I’ve been doing it for 10 years and won’t ever go back.
dkdk8283··on Don't start with microservices – monoliths are your friend
Knowing k8s makes it a lot harder - there’s nothing wrong with apps on ec2.
dkdk8283··on Reddit files to go public
Shut it down. It’s toxic and shouldn’t be fixed. It’s perpetuating a echo chamber, slippery slope. All echoed ideas are bad as they discourage critical independent thought.
dkdk8283··on uBlacklist: Blocks specific sites from appearing in Google search results
Are you referring to default black list?
dkdk8283··on Cultures where men and women don’t speak the same language (2017)
I think I am missing the punchline.
dkdk8283··on Rising groundwater caused by climate change could devastate coastal communities
Climate is changing. Time to move.
dkdk8283··on The business phrasebook: A short guide to what your colleagues mean
I read the book awhile ago and practice it extensively in my personal and work life.

Being up front and honest about what you want, including what you don’t want, is an incredible force multiplier.

Some people can’t handle it and that’s ok with me. It just means we likely won’t work together effectively. I view it as a matter of maturity, we’re all adults here.

I don’t pander and I make that clear up front. Almost everyone respects and responds positively.

dkdk8283··on Teachers and parents will say goodbye to public schools in 2022?
It’s a matter of time, for me. I would also be worried about socializing from homeschool.

I work full time and my wife uses the time the kids are at school to manage activities, the home, etc.

Home school would be explored if we had a live in nanny and perhaps someone to help design a curriculum.

dkdk8283··on There are 11M open jobs as the quitting spree continues
Crappy candidates in my opinion are the ones who go into dev for money.

It was so niche back in the day the applicants were prequalified by just showing up to the interview.

dkdk8283··on It Will Make Scientific Sense to Offer Booster After Three Months
I’m referring to the mental toll the protocol takes. I am sure for some people it’s a win.

It seems like overkill, a massive over reaction, to me. It’s just a feeling, and I look forward to the mental health studies that will eventually come.

dkdk8283··on Ask HN: What things has tech made worse in your life?
iOS has something called time sensitive notifications which when allowed solve that issue, at least for me.
dkdk8283··on It Will Make Scientific Sense to Offer Booster After Three Months
My friends wife lost an eye due to complications from a booster.

The vaccine has real side effects, the faster we can have a civic conversation about it the better off we all are.

I have severe cardiovascular problems and cannot get the vaccine. I’m judged and called an antivaxxer all the time. It’s not us vs them, we’re all in it together.

Being open and honest is always the best path. Especially when you disagree.

dkdk8283··on It Will Make Scientific Sense to Offer Booster After Three Months
That sounds horrific, I would much rather opt out of that event instead of going through that.

I refuse to live in fear.

dkdk8283··on An Oil Spill Helped One Billionaire Avoid Paying Income Tax for 14 Years
The climate comments here are virtue signaling. Like it or not it was completely legal.

There is a price for everything, including human lives. Lose a limb? Eye? There’s a price for it all, even a oil spill.

Whether it’s enough is an entirely different conversation.

dkdk8283··on Ask HN: What things has tech made worse in your life?
I’m militant about disabling notifications. My phone is on silent 24x7 except for certain contacts that bypass DnD. I’ll get to it when I get to it.
dkdk8283··on An Oil Spill Helped One Billionaire Avoid Paying Income Tax for 14 Years
There’s nothing wrong with write offs, about half of my income is paid to the government. I will always do everything I can to minimize my tax liability, and it’s natural to do so.
dkdk8283··on HashiCorp IPO today
Way better than CDK.
dkdk8283··on There are 11M open jobs as the quitting spree continues
As a hiring manager there are a lot of shitty employees. It’s hard to screen someone, and firing someone is a pain. Better to avoid a crappy hire.
dkdk8283··on Facebook and Snapchat iOS Apps Still Tracking Users Despite Opt-Out
Is using ubo/sponsorblock unethical? I have been blocking ads for so long I cannot bear to see ads in any shape or form. Our attention is abused.
dkdk8283··on Teachers and parents will say goodbye to public schools in 2022?
It %100 is indoctrination. I have my own gripes with the public school system that go against woke culture but there is literally nothing I can do except pony up for a private education.
dkdk8283··on The U.S. Air Force Has Doubts About the F-35
Isn’t it sensational to say all of our infrastructure is falling apart when the emphasis is just on bridges?
dkdk8283··on The U.S. Air Force Has Doubts About the F-35
Can you elaborate on what infrastructure is falling apart?
dkdk8283··on From the Great Resignation to Lying Flat, Workers Are Opting Out
Giving away wealth isn’t a viable long term strategy either, people will come and take everything they can and disrespect the USA while doing so.

The post you replied to is spot on.
