It seems similar to slavery. The employees work to produce a surplus and through a system of physical and ideological violence only the employer gets a claim on the surplus.

Even pointing out the facts of this material relationship is considered a thoughtcrime.

Now go back to work “partner”

Ban Google, make the internet a public utility, and fund a public search index.

What’s the value in verification, exactly? Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Do non-idiots really get confused into thinking Jack Dorsey’s account is someone pretending to be Jack Dorsey?

Before Twitter did any sort of verification it was not difficult to determine whether an account claiming to be someone was actually that person for anyone who was actually interested.

I suspect a lot of people have this delusional fantasy where “verification” is going to shape political discourse in their favor.

Most people have no idea what domain modeling is, what ERD is, why it's useful, etc.

Correct? Anyone who has worked with concurrency in Haskell is probably laughing... :)

Haskell's IO type system doesn't model concurrency at all. `IO a` could be a fork and join, an infinite event loop, really anything, it's a black box in terms of "correctness". Better than using JavaScript maybe, but hardly "correct" in any sort of formal, tractable sense.

It's been useful at our company. My only gripe is I'd like to run it locally. I don't want the feedback after I open a PR.

AKA fraud.

It doesn't need to be either or. "Forgot your password" could link to the magic link flow.

It’s too bad most UI libraries ate tied to a particular framework like React, Tailwind, etc. instead of self-contained web component elements.

Being an illiterate moron isn't fringe. It's quite commonplace. Educated and intelligent is fringe.

Because he can, and because "owning the libs" is the whole modus operandi of the Republican Party that put him there. Seems obvious to me that the reason Trump uses tariffs is simply because that's the only tool available to him to exert his power.

Tariffs let him wave his dick around. Cutting taxes requires passing legislation. Raising other taxes requires passing legislation.

It does if you're actually incorporating (C or S corp). You'll need to at least file both federal and state returns. And in many cases you'll need to pay money even if your business earned $0.

An LLC setup as a passthrough can get away with filing personal returns, but that only works for small freelance operations. Once you've got payroll or investors it's constant paperwork hassle.

They’re the most likely to go along. The whole point of the army is following orders. Congress doesn’t have the threat of jail for not listening to Trump.

Just like Trump said, he could shoot someone on the street and the bootlickers here would still justify it.

Sowell would be against tariffs, he’s a free market fundamentalist.

As usual, libertarianism is used as a justification for corporate fascism, mercantilism, taxes on the poor… basically the Republican agenda. Funny how that works.

> Your team really should be sitting together, pairing, and sharing ownership of their work.

I know the author meant to contrast real communication or collaboration with process - but I feel the opposite. The most effective orgs I’ve been apart of were characterized by clear ownership and autonomy, not by sharing work and consensus. There were clear owners in each area of the business and they had autonomy to deliver results in whatever way they wanted.

Contrast to most startup management culture I’ve encountered, where nobody is responsible for anything because “everybody’s an owner” and “every decision is a team decision”. The idea of code owners is widely rejected in favor of development by committee, under the guise of agile and sharing knowledge. The now widespread practice of requiring PR approvals to merge anything epitomizes this lack of ownership and expertise hierarchy.

A high bus factor means there’s no lynchpin, but no lynchpins means nobody at the organization is actually effective.

So greenarrays F18? :)

What is it with Americans these days?

In other words, issue tracker todo/doing/done lists have nothing to do with kanban.

Where's the best overview of this whole NSA mass spying story, starting from 9/11 era and the beginning of the dotcom boom? Any good books or documentaries?

USA needs to move out and stop trying to start a war with China. Taiwan is China. Historically, legally, even according to the US's own policy. The KMT lost. This fantasy the US has of toppling or splitting up the PRC in a proxy war is extremely deranged.

China has exercised incredible restraint over the actions of a belligerent warmonger US.

Good I hope it never comes back.

Huh that’s a perspective I hadn’t thought about before. Thanks for sharing.

What is the value add here over existing frameworks for multi-agent workflows?

Reddit didn't get extreme. Republicans got extreme. The Republican Party is intent on dismantling the very idea of liberal civil society.

American "conservatives" are against healthcare, clean energy, labor laws, minimum wage, public education, child healthcare, science, women's right to vote, equal rights for black people, rock music, dungeons and dragons, ... Whatever it is the Republicans are against it. Their entire mode of operation is to throw a wrench in things and then feign aloofness. Some of us are done pretending they are anything than what they've shown themselves to be.

A lot of blood was spilled to create a civil liberal society with basic things like equality under the law, public education, clean water, 40-hour work weeks, and on and on. And a lot of blood will need to be spilled to keep it.

Nonsense Republican propaganda with no basis in reality.

Single-payer healthcare and decent labor laws won’t make the sky fall. Republican BS.

Myanmar's dictators are far less educated than Trump, and also happen to be extremely superstitious. They also have basically absolute power and can kill or imprison anyone they want without any sort of reason or trial.

Imagine if The Trump Organization (the holding company) had its own army, the generals owned shares in the army's business, and there was no civil society outside of the army. That is Myanmar's situation. I can't understate how tyrannical and corrupt it is.

Deteriorate? Myanmar has been a failed state for 60 years. To give you an idea of what I mean, their current and previous dictators consult witch doctors for their decisions, and the largest city of 5 million doesn’t have continuous electricity. One of the many ongoing wars in Myanmar, The Karen conflict, is one of the longest-running armed conflicts in the world. Myanmar has been a total mess since end of WWII.

Sounds like Forth to me.
