I hope you never are homeless, drug addicted, or mentally ill. I have been all of these things. I can tell you first-hand forcing people to comply makes things worse. That you don't care about someone's wishes is deeply indicati

Well, certainly we can agree to disagree.

This is, in all honesty, a terrifying point of view. Forcing people to take part in a society that has already rejected them and conform to someone else’s view of normal, healthy, stable, etc., that, to me, would be literal torture. I don’t

It most certainly is not difficult . The ethics of it are exceptionally straightforward. Greed is at the root of your conundrum. Put that aside, and you'll see more clearly.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil . We only get to choose between candidates who are corrupt in different ways. That isn't the fault of the people, it's the fault of the incumbent politicians who game th

This feels like an attempt to normalize wage reduction & reduced benefits in exchange for working from home. I call BS. No one should accept this.

I wonder how much has been spent over the years suppressing this?

Every corporation has secrets they’d like to hide. No one is beyond reproach. I don’t think anyone is disputing that — but every thing Google is doing is the result of fallible humans acting in pursuit of profit. It doesn’t matter who or wh

Okay, but we can agree that IBM powered the holocaust, and that those tattoos on survivor’s arms represented the punch cards for IBM systems, right? Because really, when there’s a profit to be made, American companies are there to fill a “n

Ah yes, the legendary honesty, integrity, and forthrightness of Silicon Valley, and Corporate America in general. My father, an ex-Navy man, pointedly asked me once: “why do you want your own country to lose?” I don’t! I want us to be hones

Back in 2004, I had a phone screen with the folks at Time, Inc., for a systems admin position. Now, I'd been out of school for about 10 years at that point. The interviewer's first question was "what was your GPA in college?&

For what it’s worth, I made the same decision several years ago. I am 110% happier! I can look at myself in the mirror and feel good again. For me it wasn’t just tech though; its all of corporate America. I just can’t take the lack of human

I currently use 1blocker. I also run a local pihole on my network for dns blocklists and rarely is my phone away from wifi. Seems ok.

So what you’re saying is: it’s reasonable to dehumanize blue collar workers because they might be lazy?

This reason is why I personally would like separate app stores. I'd _really_ like to see an iOS app store, curated by the FOSS community, focused on privacy and productivity -- actual productivity, not mind-numbing dopamine fix loops!

If you’re putting things in binders, print out the full headers of the emails. Maybe even the raw mail; though I admit html mail makes that very unpleasant.

This feels like a solid tip, thank you. One question: can you specify separate payments methods per child account? It would be useful to have, for instance a personal Amex & corp Amex setup on the parent, and only the corp Amex availabl

You might try actually talking honestly with some women about this some time. Every woman I know has a story to tell. Nearly all of them would make you weep. We could do so much better, but then people like yourself just straight up don’t b

The last company I worked at renamed every department in this fashion. Sales? SalesOps. HR? PeopleOps. I worked ... in operations. We didn't get a shiny new name. But then, we actually did WORK, which had to continue at the datacenters

This is basically what I do too: Tmux, vim, and some tmux-fu to enable copy-on-select with the mouse.

The question I’ve been asking myself since skimming through the report earlier is this: Why should I take Facebook at their word for anything? If the data is publicly available, then it can be verified. But until then, I don’t believe Faceb

It's been painfully obvious that money laundering is one of the primary activities of the CIA. Doing illegal things to get money to do more illegal things is the name of the game. It's a sign of decay.

I've been thinking along these lines myself lately, and I can't help but think about something I'd read from a tweet, which I'll paraphrase (at much greater length): In business, its very hard to hire an employee over th

IANAL, but I don't believe that the fiduciary duty a corporation has to its shareholders allows it to ignore its civic duty to follow the law. Then again, rarely is lawbreaking by corporations adequately prosecuted. Even more rare are

I wish they’d start switching back to “Don’t Be Evil”. But hey, shareholder value, right? Waaay more important.

This is an ad, meant to convince you to buy more stuff, its ok everyone is doing it now!! I call BS. Consumer culture is a cancer; best to excise it.

Apparently we no longer trust each other not to lie? Honestly I feel this applies so much more widely; it’s frightening to think on too long.

His great hair won’t make up for the gross overreach they’ve made. Maybe they should try and Think Different(TM)?
