As a designer none of these make me worried about my skill set, they all look pretty bad with the slightest amount of attention.

The real concern is how ugly a world the capitalists are willing accept to cut labor costs, and we know the answer, just look what capitalism did architecture. Dogshit buildings everywhere designed by contractors to avoid skilled labor. What an ugly time to be alive

I think it’s cool watching giant companies fumble over and over strategically but see comments applauding cutting workers. Why would you trust their wisdom on this decision? So weird how this country admires the most dogshit performing executives

can't believe i've been reading his site since 1998, Jason is internet pantheon in my book

Starting to think Elon maybe isn’t capable of running a profitable company without massive government subsidies?

Who on earth would want to advertise on this service?!

Maybe true but still a bad take. Reducing the surface area of a problem like this makes its much easier to iterate on energy efficiencies than having millions of cars to replace periodically all with variable lifespans

I can't imagine wasting that much water by having a pool in Phoenix, insane

Can you elaborate more? Most of the 'specificity' I see missing just lives inside SwiftUI and IB now. The platform/OS manages so much layout automatically these days I think the 'design' work is moving up the abstracting ladder as well, or are you talking about something totally different?

do we know the margins on Tesla Powerwalls?

there's a decent history of hijacking viruses for targeted delivery:

these articles are funny to me "gee why can't we save this animal?" we all know, its because the ruling class decided the biome will be managed by the free market, and thats exactly what's happening. The free market has decided much of nature shouldn't exist, like reefs & forest etc...I don't really know what anyone expects?

I get sad when I think of the amazing things my children will never see but wow, its cool to see the stock market doing good or whatever new startups are making more dumb useless bullshit nfts or whatever

true but its not exactly the first time :

I can't stress how true this is. I've never seen the police solve any crime they were called for. They just show up and shrug.

However I recently saw the police raid my neighbor in full swat gear cause someone on Nextdoor said they saw a guy walking down the street with a gun (it turned out to be a cane). About 15 out of shape suburban dads playing operator terrifying children and high fiving each other after literally doing nothing. I don't value this institution very much anymore.

yes, some people care, also SF Mono is a really great font too! Its ok for people to like stuff that doesn't make sense to you

Made a a pretty sick vacuum tube in high school with clear acrylic and put a shrader valve on it so it could be easily decompressed with an auto shop ac recharge machine. I won the shit out that science fair showing a feather drop like a rock

I guess since I'm not a student there this doesn't make me that mad. Why would i care? Did they remove his research & discoveries out of the libraries too?

You’re still gonna hate this, but try it in landscape.

For real. Whenever I hear "diversity of ideas" I know for a fact there won't be any Polanyi, Marx or Bakunin etc...

I’ve been doing UI for 20+ years and most of what I’ve worked on is determined by marketing & engineering. I understand & totally sympathize with not liking the results, but in my experience the designers rarely choose what (ui) problems need to get solved. Also I have never worked in an org that shipped “the design”, it’s inevitably compromised by high level management’s personal feelings or lack of engineering attention to detail (I don’t blame eng’s for this, anytime the project schedule gets tight, they immediately cut resources to UI/UX). Anyway, I agree most updated UI’s fail to deliver improvements to end users and let me tell you how shitty it feels to take the blame for stuff you didn’t like either.

My partner is a nurse, and something I think that gets lots a lot in discussing these stats is that many times 'surviving' doesn't mean 'back to normal like nothing happened".

Her stories of it radically complicating totally unrelated illnesses and the potential severe long term effects are more than enough reason to take precautions seriously despite what group or demographic you might be in.

Nobody who travels ‘wants’ to burn oil. Capital decided oil is the most profitable way to deliver that. There was never a point where individual personal consumption habits could have changed this course.

What does the term “woke” mean in this comment? You use it like it has a specific set of definitions I should know, but it mostly looks like a catch-all for any uncomfortable positions someone would rather not confront.

I wish I hadn’t read this, what a bunch of sociopathic horseshit

Yeah I’m curious too..like do people remember a time when everyone formed unique and contrasting views about national subjects they didn’t personally have in depth domain knowledge of? Whats the expectation here?

also starring a pizzagate promoter, which seems a whole lot darker now than it was at the time: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/janelytvynenko/fcc-chai...

The us military is a tool for economic imperialism, if they existed to protect individual freedom they might try and stop the Yemeni genocide or generally maybe not help overthrow democratically elected governments.

A lot of these "keep all politics out of work" stances feel inherently reactionary and could passively ossify some pretty gnarly social issues.

I've been in software for 30 years, I can't imagine management attempting to formalize how racist & sexist it was back when I started. Pretending it's fixed now so we can all just move on is a pretty big yikes from me.

Sorry that it makes people uncomfortable or could get in the way of profits but even though I don't enjoy it either, thats what progress has to feel like.

I agree with some of your post but I also think that reducing it to body count is sidestepping just how differently police treat black communities.

Cops have done horrible things to every race, they are especially aggressive with black people.

Wait till you find out how unnatural most meat is. Its totally full or hormones and ammonia...And just to get ahead of the inevitable response, no, the vast majority of consumers do not buy grass fed / free range / whatever. Its a dodge and impossible to scale to current consumption levels based on land availability.

Honest question Dang, why is it ‘flame war’ to denounce racist monarchs?

Honest question, who are the people who need more chargers? Definitely being anecdotal but everyone in my circle is drowning in generations of random usb adaptors, myself included. I’ve been very supportive of removing wasteful redundancy but again, this is subjective
