dtmooreiv··on Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera
Funny. In my experience, nobody fights the “leftists” harder than the Democrats. I think the Republicans fight the Democrats harder than anyone else, and aside from the “leftists”, no political group seems to really fight the Republicans.
dtmooreiv··on OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining
An aside, but what does "spherically awful" mean?
dtmooreiv··on Cursor Camp
100%, briefly playing this brought me right back to that for a second. I'm glad others felt that same vibe.

haberman's requested translation (that would cause the comment above to be filtered out): this stranger on the internet has nothing useful to add and so their comment does not appear.
dtmooreiv··on California bans masks meant to hide law enforcement officers' identities
Why do you want their identities hidden? What are you planning or hoping they're planning?
dtmooreiv··on When Your Exit Strategy Dream Is My Customer Nightmare
I believe the parent commenter prefers honest products; ones that don’t pull the rug on you after you’ve purchased it.
dtmooreiv··on Waymo to test its autonomous driving technology in over 10 new cities
I think you mean their stated intent is to eventually make this technology available to own (I haven’t watched the video you linked but I’m going to charitably assume they say what you’re asserting).

I, and many others, are past the point of trusting their words.

dtmooreiv··on Show HN: 3D Terrain simulation for hiking, skiing etc.
First off, thank you for building this open source tool folli! With companies changing their subscription terms (eg: GaiaGPS) or shutting down (eg: FatMap), I and many others are looking for alternatives.

Chiming in to +1 SteveVeilStream's point about, "I often want to visualize a planned route". I personally care very little about statistics for a past activity and care much more about route planning for an upcoming activity and route tracking during an activity.

If you're firm on CubeTrek being a diary of your activities, then that's fair but it means folks like me, SteveVeilStream, and anyone else who's unhappy about the changes happening to paid GPS apps will need to continue searching.

dtmooreiv··on I worked in Amazon HR and was disgusted at what I was seeing with PIP plans
Yes, managers do. This article is about a manager who got PIPed. From the article, "So my manager took away all my direct reports, and shoved me into a small box, and said you could do this and try to work yourself out of it."
dtmooreiv··on I worked in Amazon HR and was disgusted at what I was seeing with PIP plans
His manager was likely upset because the guy left before he was put on the PIP and so wouldn't count towards the HR VP's (and by extension his manager's) 6% goal.
dtmooreiv··on Microsoft “lobotomized” AI-powered Bing Chat, and its fans aren’t happy
In this reply, I saw you end your sentences with “a lot” a lot ;)

dtmooreiv··on Wisconsin's Foxconn Boondoggle Is Getting Worse
I disagree. SOME rust belt towns are not dependent on a single corporation. Other rust belt towns are and when that company ceases operations there, the town experiences rapid decline.

If you disagree that some rust belt towns are dependent on a single corporation, I think you are either using a different definition of dependent than how I read the original comment use it, or you are not aware that towns where a single factory employs a significant portion of the towns population exist.

dtmooreiv··on ‘The Senator Be Embezzling’
Because they're human? Because wrongful convictions happen? Also, the deterrent effect of prison is more dependent on certainty of punishment, rather than severity of punishment.[1]

You think warning Israeli citizens of missile strikes is silly and pointless?
