Not any director. Her job is Director of Government Affairs. It's a clear conflict of interest for her to be launching her own political campaign while employed as a corporate lobbyist. Her frivolous lawsuit will get tossed.

Why do you want to exist in an echo chamber? Suppressing ideas doesn't make them go away.

We've heard ad nauseam that the rich need to pay their fair share. This goes for importers as well. Pay your taxes. The real substance of these complainers is that they can no longer dodge import fees thru de minimis exemptions. Tough

Your reply to me is all emotion, no facts. As for "economic damage", this is where you really diverge from reality. The S&P 500 has risen back to pre-Liberation Day tariff announcement levels. Gasoline prices are down. Egg pri

Trump was elected on deporting illegals, closing the Dept of Education, removing men from women's sports and to stop sending money overseas. The insular HN community doesn't understand this is what the majority of American voters

It's funny you say science requires a lot of honesty and trust, then point at what happened in the past 5 years. Very few people believe "safe and effective" was telling the truth when it neither stopped someone from getting

As a US citizen, revoking visas from criminals and people who espouse hate has been a huge net positive. We don't need visitors bringing their third world blood feuds to our homeland.

The primary technology we are lacking an implementation for is voter ID. After we ensure only eligible voters can cast a single vote, the next valuable technology is education.

Across the board budget cuts say nothing about supporting the scientific method. These university could easily fund their projects out of their massive multi-billion dollar endowments. We should ask why they aren't.

Not that old talking point. American left and right are judged on an American left/right scale.

The article says her editorial was written to criticize her employer. Was she hoping to get fired instead of politely being told no?

I would expect the M4 being a newer generation of the chip to be faster than a M3, but apparently that's not what Apple did.

You have to see what already exists in X11-land before judging that simple wasn't hard to do. (e.g. xterm)

But what did those 15k people do? If their job was to audit family and small biz returns, I don't think anyone will miss them.

I have always pronounced lib like the word liberal. I was mind-blown the first time I heard someone pronounce etc as "et-see". et-see rolls off the tongue so much better than ee-tee-see that it makes perfect sense now.

I think that is only part of it. Musk gave an interview where he talked about how the woke medical establishment trans'd one of his kids. They falsely told him to do the transition or his child's death was a near certainty. Europe

Elon is not getting an artificial boost. The people reporting about Elon's posts being artificially boosted either don't know how X's features work or they are engagement-farming for clicks. X has two user feeds controlled by

I don't know what kind of content these other people are curating with their X accounts, but I never see bots. I primarily follow entrepreneurial & fitness accounts. Honestly X, youtube and HN satisfy just about everything I need f

The big difference was in C you had to implement it yourself. Choosing a hash function and managing memory with malloc() was a hang up for a lot of people. It was quite common to say hashes and the various tree data structures weren't

I guessed it was about the (Hayes) AT Command Set for modems. AT vs AT&T phone company and childhood memories. (Clearly this was wrong after clicking into the article)

Promoting the dominant culture doesn't get you fired from your job. The dominant culture took him out.

The dominance of queer culture goes much farther than simply existing. Criticize it in even the most mild way at most companies and expect to be fired from your job. The dominance goes even further. Direct criticism isn't necessary. Tr

Your mistake is looking at what twitter has been in the past and not what it could be with a fast moving entrepreneur driving the ship. Twitter has been too complacent in the market of communication apps. By all reports, including from Elon

There is no way I could stay in a job where I loathed waking up every day. Remember fail quick, fail often? This is a fail quick situation. See it as an opportunity to find something new that you really enjoy.

Plus a few hours every week to chase down reports of emails not being delivered, spam, etc. As someone with many servers and a previous career managing an email service for a university, I would never run my email through anything except G
