Who cares about them when we can vigorously virtue-signal by shitting on tech workers?

Incredible... a meaningful risk of doing business in SF is the exposure to socialist / progressive extremists in the city government.

Same here. Total nuke of the project with no warning even though we were an established paying customer, and there was no fraud involved.

If I am dying, what right have you to tell me what experimental treatment I can take or not, if I otherwise have no hope to live? You would condemn me to no hope at all in order to save me from what you consider to be unproven or possible quackery.

The idea that bureaucrats and scientists should be able to decide what experiments a terminally ill patient should be allowed to participate in is a deeply evil one.

If a game has multiple sound effects controlled by javascript logic, then what is the "individual media element"?

How are HTML5 games supposed to deal with this? They don't really have media that you click on.

I wonder what this sentence in the Google product status page (https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/7622138) means, particularly what the inter-guest attack refers to:
"Compute Engine customers must update their virtual machine operating systems and applications so that their virtual machines are protected from intra-guest attacks and inter-guest attacks that exploit application-level vulnerabilities"

Handoff is definitely a weird one. I don't think I've ever gotten it to do anything useful. Its functionality is seemingly limited to popping up a random icon to the left of the dock from time to time to distract me.
