qshaman··on Cuba jamming ham radio frequencies [video]
That's not how it works, before Batista's coup, the president was Prios Socarras, that had no beef with the US, I would say the opposite. Batista's coup, was an inside job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgencio_Batista#Military_cou...

> The US backed a coup that put Fulgencio Batista in power Source? Not even Cuban propaganda have said that ever, read a little bit of history.
qshaman··on Tech workers swore off the Bay Area, now they’re coming back
I didnt say you were a "white" european, I said: "IF you are....", there is nothing racist on what I said. You are using a common pattern the far right uses here in the US, ala Carlson Tucker "What is white supremacy anyway?". I agree there is racism everywhere , between all races, religions, etc... But , we were talking about the US, and the differences between regions regarding racism, etc. I was also exposing my personal experience. Also , the argument of "there is no such a thing as racism" is itself racist, regardless where you are from and how you look. Disregarding other peoples unnecessary hardship and the problems they have to deal with, just because they look different or come from a different place, is truly immoral.

As a latino, I can tell you what type of racism I have faced in the east coast, for example: - While chatting on the phone with a friend in Spanish, I get people screaming at me: "Speak English! This is America, go back to your country!!. ......" - "Chinga tu madre!! Mexican!" (I'm not Mexican) - "We dont speak Spanish here, sorry..." even tho I can communicate perfectly well in English. and many more, in my personal experience, the west coast is way better regarding racism, I have Pakistani friends who have had a pretty rough time living in Oklahoma. I agree that racism is being using as a political weapon, and all of that, but is truly more common in some places. If you are a white European, you will have a hard time seeing racism, compared with people who are not white.

Mexico is literally run by narcos, and the government can't do anything about it. A failed state? depends on your definition of it, a narco state?, for sure. - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/19/mexico-amlo-el...

Agree, people love to hate on Apple products for no reason.

this reads as wishful thinking , in which universe is safari 3rd technologically speaking? what technology does Chrome or Firefox have that Safari doesn't? Safari performance in MacOS is better than Chrome and Firefox. Can you provide any data?
qshaman··on Facebook keeps recommending political groups
I closed my Facebook account years ago, but is not Facebook alone, Youtube keeps recommending me far right extremist channels, I'm a POC immigrant, is that just bad luck? I'm the only one?. Is f*cking cruel at this point.

qshaman··on The Sad End of Jack Ma Inc
Lol, is not , but thank you
qshaman··on The Sad End of Jack Ma Inc
Yeah, I feel no sympathy for him, he was one of the 9-6-6 work hours system supporters, I'm not sorry he can't get away over there with things billionaires get away with , over here in the US. His end is not sad, nor fair. A fair end would be he loosing everything and the people that worked their ass off to make his wealth possible getting compensated.
qshaman··on So, You Want to Become a Digital Nomad
I wonder who in a foreign country, let's say Japan for example, will be checking on a tourist, to see if he/she/x is doing work while on a coffee shop, or just watching youtube. How can another country prove i was working over there, and not writing code for an open source project or something similar? I'm honestly curious. Is there any mechanism for that?
qshaman··on Americans are on the move, but their stuff doesn’t always follow
Yeah, thats the reason I wont move from the west coast, unless it becomes unbearable. Most people here would downvote you, just for suggesting human interactions are necessary, but yes, in places like SV, Seattle, NY, you get to meet smart and interesting people, learn a lot about the industry, life in general, I also get how some folks would love to make 300K in the middle of nowhere, paying none to little rent, and enjoy being the richest person in a small town, but I think there is a reason why most of the population is concentrated in a few cities.
qshaman··on Americans are on the move, but their stuff doesn’t always follow
Yes , I strongly recommend you Florida , central and north Florida have the best spots to live in. Sell your place in the west coast and move to Florida, is amazing. https://youtu.be/HeGbDRbodNQ

qshaman··on Tesla loses U.S. designation for some advanced safety features
Elon have a cult like following, he can manipulates stock prices and crypto prices with a single tweet, also Tesla was first, and its brand recognition is amazing. Most people think of Tesla when they hear "electric car". I also doubt that Chinese electric cars will ever make it to the US. You cant get Vivo, xiaomi, huawei phones in the US anymore in traditional ways.
qshaman··on What if remote work didn’t mean working from home?
Is it insane tho? Reality you said? Are you sure you want to make that argument? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_States , your ”argument” is as racist as Carlson Tucker’s “What’s white supremacy ? anyway”
qshaman··on What if remote work didn’t mean working from home?
That is just not true , at least in the US. Minorities and immigrants are treated considerably worst in rural areas than in the cities. I get some people want to live in the country. As I said , most people like to interact with other human beings, outside the Sunday church gathering. Being from a rural town in the US doesn't make an outsider in any city, I would say the other way around is correct, the city is big enough you can find a bar where your country fellas go, people who "hate the city", what really hate is diversity, competition and civility(with exceptions). In the other hand, a family of asian immigrants, for example, will have a hard time, in a white evangelical small town anywhere in the US.
qshaman··on What if remote work didn’t mean working from home?
How so? There is way more stuff to do in the city, than in rural Ohio (for example), friendliness is very subjective, if you are "one of them" then yes, they will be nice to you, if you look different, then things change. More space? duh, there is a reason no one wants to live there. Less people == less crime and violence (most of the time). Less noise, yeah, thats true.
qshaman··on Launch HN: Fig (YC S20) – Autocomplete for the Terminal
^this. At least at FAANG , you will get flagged by opsec using a tool like this. Also, I don't think engineers here need something like this to be productive, nor having the same email domain means they use the same tools, but maybe is just me, as other people said, there are other tools that provide autocompletion, offline and free(as in speech). But maybe if you get PG to say this product will be the future of development, people will buy into it. I truly wish the founders the best of luck.
qshaman··on Saying Good Bye to Hey.com
Because they wont be able to plug in RoR or rant on how you should "embrace the monolithic" and use Hey as a success story, and their fans will be very unhappy ;) Because with those people, is their way or the highway.
qshaman··on Saying Good Bye to Hey.com
I have, and went back to Protonmail, pretty much for all the reasons the author show. You didn't miss anything good to be honest. Those people at Basecamp do know how to hype things, and they use HDD twitter cult as leverage to get lots of customers, but at the end , keeping customers is where they struggle. I can see the "but they have a lot of basecamp paying customers" coming, lol, yeah, sure.
