Hiring people is not autopilot. You can hire a CEO for example.

People googling Google, which is a lot.

I'm not sure if SMS and email are ever considered urgent enough for this purpose. The alert is sent out seconds before, it's either a loud and unusual sound or you might get to read/answer after it actually hits.

i.e. it'd be useless.

Absolutely shameless. I’m glad that they’re doing this in the complete open instead of painting themselves as the good guys (unlike, ahem, other western countries)

I’m curious, why?

I have no proof here, but don't underestimate the power of a rock near one’s delicate areas. It's easier to get a key by just asking politely.

You can’t start up the equivalent of “half a country’s nuclear reactors” in 2 weeks. For this to happen you must already have an excess of renewables, which they obviously don’t have.

What will happen is that more coal will be burned because coal always works and is instantly available; Sun and wind isn’t.

> Honestly my server at home has more uptime than US-East-1

Is this not antagonistic? It's pointless to make these statements, so your parent comment pointed it out. Go downvote the first one instead.

The problem I encounter while developing occasionally is that I encounter a series of errors and in the end you stop wanting to report the 5th bug of the day and just want to fix things the best way you can. Sometimes that attempt goes sour, sometimes it gets me out of the problem in 5 minutes.

> if only reported

Reporting bugs can be super time consuming, especially if your project is large and the maintainer has a high bar for bug reports (e.g. "provide a codesandbox link"). I can't spend 20 minutes reporting a bug that will be auto-closed in 6 months when I can attempt fixing it instead, especially if I'm annoyed at the tool already. This used to happen a lot with browsers and nowadays it happens with build tools and libraries.

The worst offenders for this are package bundlers. Like when they remove/change features and don't have the decency to leave a note saying what change and how to fix it. There are dozens of issues and StackOverflow questions dedicated to obscure errors that make no sense — if you're lucky to find them. Sometimes even specific errors come out but they don't make any sense. Could anyone add a link to these? No.

> the northern League wanting to break off from Italy and form another country

This isn't the 90's, that stuff died down when we all united against the africans. [1] There's no separatist movement in Italy other than in fringe groups on Facebook. Definitely much less than "Texas wanting to secede" anyway.

Supporting Taiwan is really not a question of opposing local separatist movements (at least in Italy) as much as just "losing China" and all that it'd entail.

This video is satire, racist POV

> It would be irresponsible to not talk about the role that race plays in this conversation.

Hard disagree. What you're saying reminds me of Seinfeld’s "Not that there's anything wrong with that" suffix and "I'm not racist, but" starter. You don't have to mention things that are obvious, you're just making the conversation awkward.

I fail to see how talking about race (keep reading) changes anything about the the concept at hand: People want you because you have "the Thing, and maybe only the Thing."

"Being an Asian woman" itself can be the Thing, that's still covered by the article.

> If you're NASA

I don’t think it's fair to pick something extra-ordinary to respond to the article. Obviously "no worries" doesn't apply if the stakes are high.

> Put all new code behind feature flags

How is that even possible? A comma change in a feature can break things, are you going to put that change behind a feature flag?

"New code" isn't just "new files/functions", so it's not always feasible to keep it behind flags, unless you use a "copy on write" methodology to all code.

Are you serious right now? Do you think white women are not fetishized by black men and Asian men? I live in Asia and let me tell you something…

Both your comment and the parent are racist because you’re applying common issues to “white men” while they’re really not limited by race in any way whatsoever. Whether this or that race is fetishized by which race is completely irrelevant in the context of the article.
