no, I’m sure the majority is in poorly paid roles: janitors, food prep, entry level techs

The average Windows user might not care, but the average Windows license buyer is probably a corporate IT department, which tend to care about compliance quite a bit…

Jeff Atwood (stack overflow and discourse cofounder) seems pretty cool for someone who made a shitton of money in tech. Everyone I know who’s met him says he’s a nice and normal human being, and he’s currently funding a UBI program as well as giving copiously to high-quality charities.

Poor Visual J# (literal Microsoft Java) isn’t even in the picture

This seems like a big usability cost. I wonder how long it’ll be before someone introduces an extension to re-add functional visited links (slowly and in JavaScript with some big unprotected IndexedDB instance)…

“Anti-vaccine advocate” is a weird way of phrasing “random unqualified non-doctor who got in trouble for working with his dad to chemically castrate autistic children”

Focusing on airbag-deployments and injuries ignores the obvious problem: these things are unbelievably unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists. I curse SF for allowing AVs and always give them a wide berth because there’s no way to know if they see you and they’ll often behave erratically and unpredictably in crosswalks. I don’t give a shit how often the passengers are injured, I care a lot more how much they disrupt life for all the people who aren’t paying Waymo for the privilege.

Gotta love a company that will sue you if you benchmark their software…

The companies that run these residential proxy networks are sketchy as shit and in a better world would be criminally prosecuted. They’re tricking random low-information users into installing VPNs and other software with backdoors that turn them into a veritable botnet.

Part of me wonders whether the whole thing is just a set up so Trump can look good for shutting them down…
