okay fine i’ll get some

My machine is not a workhorse. I got it second hand. It has around 8gb of RAM, and an 80gb HDD I found in a laptop.

But it’s enough to work as a testbed, so it’s fine with me.

I’ve finally powered on a 15 year old machine to run a bot I’ve been writing. The thing is slow as dirt and stuck behind a flakey power line network, but it’s working. I got to write my first systemd service definition, which is kind of cool.

just one little drop

piss off notification horse

All existing health data and features, however, will remain free.

Perfect!

I’m not overweight, I’m prepared for the gathering storm.

I’ve worked with three incredible developers who I’d consider 10x: people who can reliably build a solution quickly, or debug problems that go deep into the OS. One would fit your description, one is a mom who shuttles her kid to after school stuff, and the other is a really nice music nerd.

Like the post states, some people are in the right place at the right time: they have the right background and temperament to do really well at their job. They don’t need to be shitty people.

I don’t really get what selling Chrome and Android would accomplish.

There was a leak of Google’s old page ranking algorithm (not PageRank, but how they change the order of results on search) - it looked like they used a bunch of signals from Chrome about the amount of time users spend on a page, how quickly they go back, etc. Chrome gives the search side of the business an advantage.

Conversely, Android feeds a bunch of extra data to the ad business about what people do in real life.

Both products give the rest of Alphabet a significant advantage over their competitors, and make it harder for new entrants to get a foothold.

Times are tough.

Not all morals or beliefs have to be unshakable or viewed as morally reprehensible for disagreement.

The tweet suggests the sample group disagrees with this statement.

I think you’re expressing the general consensus: people get a lot of their morals from their environment, but there’s some stuff that’s universal/non-negotiable; and we should be able to find common ground with that.

At least, I think that’s the general consensus. I’ve gotten into trouble with that assumption though.

Don’t trust anyone over 30, man.

goddamn CIA
