wu_tang_chris··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
Until you people go after their peer, right? Then it’s “level3 is a private company”.
wu_tang_chris··on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler
They didn’t miss it, they don’t care. AWS doesn’t care about incitement to violence either, which I have never seen on Parler FWIW despite being a heavy user. It’s political grandstanding, and a lame appeal to their woke engineers to keep the dollars flowing in.
wu_tang_chris··on Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump
Hopefully you see what you did there as well.

Makes sense to me in the context of an assault on speech. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wu_tang_chris··on Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump
You’re almost close at the end there. The echo chamber of the MSM is worse because it has an air of legitimacy afforded by a history of journalism that doesn’t exist anymore. Once great institutions like NYT and NPR are scant more than propaganda arms for the left’s authoritarian communist regime. And you guys don’t realize you’re part of the echo. IMO the left is no different from us, we’re all trying to navigate this strange post truth world.

Neither accepts that it’s not just the other side distorting reality; both are oblivious to their own distortion.

wu_tang_chris··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
The disinformation is the notion that police are targeting black people (they're not). The entirety of BLM is built on disinformation. The violence is widespread and easy to find evidence of. There's plenty here, just scroll back to late May:

I was going provide a long list of specific examples but I am very skeptical it would have any effect, I'd rather not waste my time.

wu_tang_chris··on Trump administration announces overhaul of H1B visa program requiring higher pay
This is our country, where "we" are the people who already live here. Most of us were born here, many of us moved here, but we have a pretty good thing going on. New immigration should be a net benefit for our society and it should favor the side of the workers - e.g. Americans in general - not the bottom line of a business class looking for ever cheaper labor in order to extract additional money from their efforts.

Personally I'd like to see the entire H1B program scrapped entirely. If you can't find an American to do a job, hire and train one. If you don't want to, don't do business here.

The rest of your comment is semantic quibbling. "American workers" in this context means Americans. Nothing in that phrasing implies carving the country up into ever smaller groups based on certain characteristics and including or excluding them.

wu_tang_chris··on Dishwashing detergent hack: Two ingredients (2015)
I lived in a co-op in PA during college, we had a "dish sanitizer" instead of a dish washer. It was basically just blasting the shit out of the dishes with crazy hot water. We were supposed to wash them before we put them in there but nobody ever did.

OMG, thank you so much danso and all the developers of this app! This is the biggest inconvenience and overall PITA docking my MBP, it annoys me constantly on a daily basis. just tried it out, it's like my prayers were answered!

You realize that you can still tip, without all of us living under this broken system, right?

And it helps them dodge taxes.

> because FL is a right to work state and you do not legally have to turn in a two week notice

right to work or not, is there any state where you have to "legally" give 2 weeks notice? i don't think there is.

wu_tang_chris··on Keybase’s browser extension subverts its encryption
it wasn't purged, per say. if you click "edited by maxtaco" on KirtiRamchandani's first comment, you get a dropdown to select the versions, and you can still find the original text.

HN is a special place
wu_tang_chris··on Harvard Is Wrong That Asians Have Terrible Personalities
Because they think a "diverse" student body is better than one comprised of the best possible students, so they tweak the process to admit more blacks and hispanics.

> Am I using ping6 wrong?

I'm pretty sure the other end has to be running `pingd` to get a response from ping. Some do, some don't.

I might be wrong but that's always been my understanding.

Well it's probably not natives who'd be moving out there. Think of it as a polite invitation to transplants to go home.

wu_tang_chris··on Wells Fargo Hit with $1B in Fines
In-branch customer service has gotten super annoying in the last 3 or 4 years. I walk in to do something simple, there's like 8 bankers standing around in suits, doing nothing, and one of them rushes up to me like I just made their day and starts enthusiastically helping me with my simple thing... it's better than a long line and a disinterest in doing their job, but god damn it's creepy.

wu_tang_chris··on Who Killed the Junior Developer?
that's a super regular bar that anyone who's moderately able to program or learn new things should be able to jump over easily. details are important in a technical field.
