I have been stopped, searched, and detained in handcuffs for over an hour because I "fit a description." (I was fired for being late.)

I have missed international flights because I was "randomly selected," again, to be subjected to additional screening and interrogation.

I was held at gunpoint in middle school while officers tore apart my backpack looking for a stolen pen.

I am a cis white male, the paragon of privilege, and I'd be standing right there with you if you would only stop excluding me based on the color of my skin.

Pot, meet kett--no, wait, I didn't mean--it's just an expr--aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I was unaware, and searching suggests you are referring to him sleeping naked in the same bed as a 17 or 18-year-old, without touching them, supposedly to test his celibacy.

Which is, quite frankly, hilariously innocent compared what "sleeping with children" implies, particularly in the context of being contrasted with Epstein.

> None of the women who participated in the brahmachari experiments of Gandhi indicated that they had sex or that Gandhi behaved in any sexual way. Those who went public said they felt as though they were sleeping with their aging mother.

If this is horrible enough to outweigh the good in his life, hell better make room: we're all coming.

It is only while posting this that I am making the negative connection to things like "legacy code," but the concepts are distinct enough to me that they might as well be different words.

She explained that legally, the company already owned any software I made on company time, but she wanted to buy it from me properly anyway, and asked me to write down a price.

I wrote down what I thought was a completely insane amount and she frowned and shook her head. "Sorry, I don't think we can pay that." She wrote down another number and passed it back.

She'd just added more digits to my number. It was more than my take home pay for the entire year.

After I accepted, she explained how sometime in the past they'd paid 10x that price to a "professional" firm for a prototype that didn't even work.

Several years later, at another, bigger company, I created a solution to a similar but larger scale problem we had in my spare time and offered it up for free. (I never learn.)

Instead, they signed a $2.5 million deal with a "professional" firm to create something.

That CEO bet me $100 it would be running smoothly in production in 6 months, but I could only take the bet if I didn't quit. I patiently explained how their proposed solution could not even work in theory, and wished him good luck.

10 years later, they were still doing it manually.

I asked if I could just have access to the origin database instead of getting printouts, automated the whole thing, and continued to get paid for 15 hrs/week or whatever the legal limit was to spend about 4 seconds clicking "run" and the rest of the time goofing off.

Even convinced them to let me set up remote access and work from home once I demonstrated how much faster I could work that way. Good times.

Curious to see how all-cause numbers will be affected.

(data still supports your point - thanks for perspective.)

How?? For who??

The web in 2010: type something into Google, click first result, enjoy life

The web in 2020: type something into Google, try to figure out which results are ads, click several results before anything is useful, click through cookie disclaimer, refuse to allow notifications, decline to download the mobile app, attempt to dismiss surprise autoplay video that pops up once you scroll, except one of 30 scripts didn't load right or something so the popup's background stays covering up the page, disable javascript in frustration. Oops, now Cloudflare thinks you're a bot and all you're allowed to do on the web any more is teach Google's AI what traffic lights and crosswalks look like.

Understanding a little can make embarrassingly cheesy and saccharine pop lyrics take on a profound poetic quality.

Growing up on anime and Japanese video games is probably a big contributor to finding the melodies appealing.

Also, dude's got a giant concert video in view pretty much constantly, so image is probably part of it.

hope this helps

[2003-10-14 02:51] <rizzou> hey moot - there's this cool website at http://www.4chan.net/ you should check it out. it's really looking like the next big thing, you know?

Many privacy-conscious people make all the same tradeoffs that everyone else does; like you, they've decided that what they're giving up is worth what they're getting in return. The problem with this change is that for many people there is no benefit and they were not asked, so they feel they are having something forcefully taken away from them without getting anything in return.

"I raise elephants, but they are bred to be as small as possible."

"They're _either_ elephants, _or_ bred to be as small as possible."

Note in particular it is a different officer who is talking in the video and created the whole situation.

The clipboard lib you're using just spawns xclip (or xsel) on Unix. xclip has a -loops argument that is the maximum number of pastes. So you could just spawn:

  xclip -loops 1 -in -selection clipboard

There are clipboard manager apps that could grab the paste immediately and persist it, but I'm not sure how common they are or if they are default anywhere.

I am a nobody, have never worked at any high profile tech darlings, was not returning to another job, have no money myself, and contribute nothing to diversity (white cis male).

I thought I had no chance.

I was accepted and had a great time.

Hope this helps.

Actually, it looks like output from a popular tool (Sentry MBA) specifically designed to test if "generic credentials" from other password leaks "just happen to work" on popular services like Spotify.

I run two stock JVM instances and Redis on a $10 DO VPS that serves ~700k pageviews per day
