What does "Bernie bro" add to this?

NYT's GDPR compliance UI is hilariously user-hostile. You can't even opt out. There's no chance this is accidental.

> In response to a Colorado state law that requires employers post salary ranges in job postings, companies are simply refusing to consider applicants from the state.

I laughed in Cyrillic at the accidental Cyrillic ("к").

> Houdini was immediately suspicious. The message was written in English and his mother only spoke German. At the top of each page was a cross. His mother was the wife of a rabbi and devoutly Jewish. There is no way she would have drawn a cross. Finally, the day of the séance was her birthday. Why didn’t she mention this?

The mindset is basically: Programming is hard so we're going to block as many non-paying customers as possible to limit the blast radius when we inevitably fuck up. And inconvenience those paying users too, because we can't figure out how to mitigate DoS attacks at the edge. And then we'll give a talk at a Next.js conference or something.

If you're good enough you can pretty much dictate your working conditions. But it's bad advice for most people. I've seen plenty of mediocre devs take this kind of advice, and it's sad/embarrassing to see. Anyone who's decent figures out that they can cut corners at their first job. 90% of the devs I've worked with (conservatively) should never cut corners and should've been putting in more hours to become adequate. Most feel-good self-help advice like this is worse than useless, it's harmful to anybody who finds it novel.

When I start answering these hard questions about my ethnicity, one result is strong sense of white pride. It's hard to tell if that's the desired outcome or not; I'm skeptical of the sincerity of these people looking for "allies" through insults.

You had to apply and be accepted to the university, and their confidence that you won't turn your apartment into a crack den is factored into the monthly rent.

you're crazy, I love you, but you're crazy

This seems like a flame. Anyway, strategically speaking, US COVID-19 deaths had little impact on the country's fighting strength. So they're not really comparable to North Vietnam's war losses.

The hand wringing about batteries blows my mind, it's like everybody forgot about Shell Nigeria. Anyone should be able to see that this has nothing to do with technology or rare earth metals, it's simply a pattern of exploitation.

> good refs (necessary for future employment)

Unnecessary if you have chops. Interviewing a candidate's references is a sucker move anyway.

I sort of doubt that you've spent much time in the most problematic parts of DC/Philly/Baltimore. Their peers are Chicago, New Orleans, and St. Louis. Not remotely SF.

Read the contribution log, it's another "community leader" who barely writes code, who cares. Somebody wants attention.

Strong disagree, in fact I'd say that apart from Bayview, all of SF is safe, there's just lots of property crime, which I'll grant is shitty. North of 110th St? All of Manhattan's been safe for some time now. 110th St isn't even a little iffy. There are parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx that are no-go zones that have no comparison in SF. If you want screwed up, you have to go to Oakland (and boy is it... Oaktown does it all).

SF is a very densely populated place, so that shouldn't be a surprise (if you live in NYC, I don't believe you).

Anecdata is andecdata. I've visited SF a ton for work/business and for tech events and never see anything that I haven't already seen in Boston, LA, DC, any major city. I've always had a great time in SF. It's beautiful, especially at night, usually pretty decent weather, great food, lots of cute girls (everyone disagrees?), a fun place to hike around especially compared to the flat midwest. I don't know if I'd pay what it takes to live decently there, but I'm always happy to travel to SF.

This is rich person thinking. Somebody who's willing to smash your car window for a camera really doesn't care if you "embarrass" them for a few minutes.

Exactly, we need three categories: M, W, ?. In ?, anything goes: Hormones, steroids, doping, etc. We can't let nature hold back sport.

When I'm bored at work I imagine ways to sew discord with tasteless emoji. It's not a sincere temptation.

Yep, and anyone who thinks SF's homeless situation is bad needs to take a trip down to LA. LA's a step away from favelas.

It's surely a firable offense, but part of me is so tempted to give a dark-skin-tone thumbs up in Slack as a white guy.

> underaged users who actually do not have any experience with adult material.

A vanishingly small group. Most people aggressively seek that shit out as soon as they hit puberty.

Pretty sure it's paved with ill intentions.

At least two!
