How is he the exploiter if he contributes so much to the project? What, because he prioritizes his hobbies like race matches? Or because he elects not to spend an entire day at an event? Does an OSS maintainer not allowed to have a life?

Noted, I never delved deeper into the definitions - it was hard enough as it happened. If that's not burnout, then I don't know what is a burnout, apparently. I never even considered that.

At one point in my career, I've been a CTO of a startup company. I worked 12-14 hours a day, including weekends. My relationship with the CEO was bad, and he actively added "senior tech leads" to the company to compete with m

The Replit CEO has proven himself time and time again to be.. this. I hope that every potential customer will consider the culture he cultivates. We don't need this in tech.

By definition - if you want to immigrate to the US (legally) you must be successful. For example, L1 Visa, will require your company to employ at least 15 people in the US by the end of it. So you either start a company successful enough to

^^^ this. Starting a war and losing it should have consequences. They tried to genocide the Jews in 1948 and lost. If there are no consequences for what they did - they'll just keep doing it until they'll be successful. Which, coi

If anything, Google should be more aggressive with getting any politics out. Politics essentially botched their Gemini AI release. The politics are beyond harming the company.

No, it did not. You made that up. Read their decision again.

That's a lie. Israel always allowed as much aid as needed. Hamas kept stealing it to create the crisis and have useful idiots say it's genocide.

The lie of "genocide" again. Genocide is what the Palestinians attempted - killing civilians, burning babies, and raping teenage girls. Losing a war you started isn't genocide.

I expected the third step to be "shortage of FBI agents lead to deteriorated quality of service". But what you described is far more scary. And this is obviously true for all jobs that hold power. Combine it with bribery that can

I won't blame VCs but the 0% interest rate environment. When money had no "price" to it, it made absolute sense to borrow as much as possible from the future, and thus delaying profits for growth. That's why we start see

The ~400,000 figure is WITHOUT targeted technology, obviously. Why do you rush to attack?

Amazon has a kidnapped employee currently being held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza: https://nypost.com/2023/11/30/news/amazon-silent-on-israeli-... Their disregard for their employees is beyond shameful

The massacre was in Israel, when Hamas mass raped and murdered Israelis. What happens in Gaza is a justified war to prevent such attacks from occuring again.

Palestinians have higher moral ground by raping innocent teenagers and then shooting them in the head? Yeah, some moral high ground. Your comment tells more about you than about this conflict.

Because most of the Muslim world shares false propaganda against them, and they are billions of people against ~10 million? Why does tech used have any effect on what is true? If you don't fear the truth, you should be happy that the m

You want me to criticize fighting terrorism? I will forever support fighting terrorists. You know, since I have a moral compass.

What blockade? They have a border with Egypt. Why won't Egypt let them leave? There was never a blockade because Israel never surrounded Gaza.
