I was already convinced, you don’t have to keep selling me

Wow, what an incredibly bad take. Kudos, I’m genuinely impressed

What’s the vibe in there? Cause I don’t like the idea of punishing regular civilians for the government’s actions, so I’m not a fan of this decision. But I’m not gonna come in here and say something like “omg why though, Israel’s the victim!!!1”

I’m pressing X to doubt this

I think you’re spot on

Sometimes I like a little irreverence in my journalism instead of the constant stream of death and suffering

Painful read, as it resonates with me. I think I’m pretty hot shit but was humbled by the interview processes a few years back.

But in a different vein, found myself laughing at this reply in the comments:

Peter Lindberg 9 months ago

This reminds me about the time I almost got fired. I was at work, playing an intense round of table tennis, when the CEO burst out of his office. “This is it everybody!” he yelled, running over to the Big Wheel. He gave the wheel a spin, and then hurriedly explained “I’ve got a linked list and I need to know if it contains a cycle!”

I watched the wheel slow to a stop and panic set in as I realized the pointer was on my name. All eyes were on me as the whole team rushed into the Coding Room. I opened our communal laptop and started up notepad, which was the only application it was capable of running. The CIO loved to brag how he had cut 1% of costs by eliminating laptop and IDE purchases.

Everyone watched intently as I started to implement a linked list in C, which I needed to do before starting on the actual problem. I was pretty sure I knew how to solve this problem, so I started banging out some code. Then I hit a mental block. Someone behind me said meekly “couldn’t we just google this?” The crowd had barely begun to gasp and murmur at this suggestion when the CEO shouted “No! That’s not how we do it!”

I began to sweat. “How much time do I have left?” I said. “Five minutes!” was the panicked reply from one of my teammates. Suddenly I remembered the final part of the solution and frantically began to type again. “What happens if he runs out of time?” someone whispered. “Nobody knows… But do you really want to find out?” someone else said. I knew I’d be fired at the very least.

“Done!” I said confidently, and the CEO peered over my shoulder at the screen. After a few seconds, his eyes narrowed. “Ssssyntax error” he hissed. My heart raced as I scanned the code for the error. I found it just in time! A missing semicolon. Everyone sighed in relief and resumed their ping-pong and foosball games. I chuckled to myself and thought “this is why they pay us the big bucks!”

We’re not actually sure what the company’s product is. Whatever it is though, it relies exclusively on things like sorting and searching algorithms, and somehow doesn’t need data storage, infrastructure, networking, apis, or any of that amateur stuff.

Hates the right

Actively advocating for capital punishment

Yours being in the negative is the whole reason I responded to it, actually. I was hoping my context could make people see that yours was the appropriate stance for those who aren’t hopelessly naive. Sorry it didn’t work!

Honestly, this is a fair response to an outrageously sensationalist headline. There is promise in this particular style of vaccine, and it deserves further research, but to claim it’s going to cure all these disorders is something so far from the current truth that it really verges on an outright lie.

Yeah my dude, but that’s not the part I’m disagreeing with. You made one false claim and one true one, and I’m pointing out that the false one is false.

Any Tesla Driver Can Now Join Full Self-Driving Beta Regardless Of Safety Score

Tweet from Elon dated November 24, 2022:

Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone in North America who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have bought this option.

That’s not true. It’s been open to anyone who requests it for many months

What an outrageous take. I am making an exchange that makes me happier. I get something; they get something. Otherwise I sit and wait and fume and get nothing.

I can want one thing and accept that my current reality won’t provide it to me without being an enemy of the cause. I’m genuinely shocked that such a hardline, absolutist mindset is the prevalent one in this community.

The attitude of being willing to compromise to get what I want, rather than waiting until my perfect conditions are met? I just don’t think it’s a reasonable expectation for people to stop thinking like that. I use compromise every day of my life - I used it ten minutes ago, to choose a slightly damaged monitor for less money over a brand-new, more expensive one.

I am of the mind that the faster we can get a few companies offering a four-day week, the faster it will become standard - or at least common. We saw it happen with WFH: Companies now have to expect to compete with offers that include remote work, so they either have to provide it as well, or improve other parts of their offer.
