> "Gleefully taking away people's livelihoods will be met with violence, and nothing good will come of it." - fixed.

This statement is not decoupled; if anything, it is a more generalized one, as it does not point at any cause or causes for livelihoods to be taken.

Yes. And not only for responding to a page, but also for being stand by outside working hours.

Good and all until you need to debug a weird behavior in the CI platform.

That IS the central issue though, processes, techniques, and so on are not a THING until they are. And something has to change for that to happen.
Until the AWS credit card gives up.

Any additional insights or information on how latencies relate to number of connections?

Thinking that social issues can't and should not shape technical discussions, even more when talking about one of the most important technological platforms for society is rather limited and short sighted.

Well, for me, this article and the previous one that was on HN some weeks ago were just propaganda to push the service they promote for eventual monetization. Something wrong with it? I don't know, well may be just lack of transparency I guess.

"living off a spouse working" is not exactly "broke as f*ck". If that disappears, then yes, is mostly about money.

Can't you keep a whitelist/blacklist of tokens in a memory cache like redis/memcached and go from there? As far as I know that is the standard practice to invalidate non expired sessions tokens.

Mayor issue here seems to be not validating and sanitizing inputs before a DB insert.

You know, except for handling over that juicy telemetry data!

Aren't many of those only available in pro/enterprise versions of Windows?
Re:Google’s caste-bias problem on Thursday August 11, 2022 @11:00AM (#32426789)
You forgot the most important statement from which is clear casteism is a rising problem:

>"T.G.: There was my own obvious background. My parents immigrated from India in the early nineteen-eighties. I was certainly familiar with the topic. In September, 2021, two employees approached me. I hosted D.E.I. office hours every week where people could come in and talk about these topics, confidentially, and multiple Google employees came into my office and reported that they had faced discrimination when trying to talk about matters of caste in the workplace. There was already a public condemnation of caste discrimination at Google from the Alphabet workers’ union. They had put out a press statement when the Cisco case broke. There were reports from at least twenty Google employees as well. [In June, 2020, California sued Cisco and two of its managers for engaging in caste discrimination. Afterward, Equality Labs received complaints from more than two hundred and fifty tech workers, including twenty Google employees.]"

If I write an article about the benefits of X drug and have expressed publicly by other channels my support for the company that produces such drug, I think is relevant for the discussion of the article I just wrote. That's why I said that may be it is not the case here, as I my self don't see any relationship between the linked tweets and the article. But I don't think is to crazy to think that two related opinions can be analyzed together regardless of the channels of distribution.
Well, the "article" is mostly an opinion piece, it could as well be a Twitter thread. So, at least, there is some value when evaluating a personal opinion in the context of other opinions expressed publicly by the author. I'm not saying this is the case, but I don't think is invalid either.
Why bother giving explanations of the true self and showing the other, a person with which you are going to have little to no contact, a glimpse of how you truly feel, more so in the event of trying to secure a position that will dictate how you live your live for the next months to years financially speaking. It is in my opinion, better to say what they want to listen, to sweeten every managers and upper management ears with faked feelings of team player and how amazing you are with people, rather than let them know how you feel deep inside, solely for their own satisfaction of believing they are making a top tier team. At the end the only thing that matters is how you perform, what you deliver and the quality of it.
