That's a propaganda you fell for. From the wiki page you linked

> There have been widespread misconceptions in media reports about a unified social credit "score" based on individuals' behavior, leading to punishments if the score is too low or rewards if the score is high.

Retaliation being war crimes. Killing infants, raping hostages, stealing land, burning olive trees. And the thing you _can't take anymore_ is activists speaking about Gaza.

> The investor Jason Calacanis stayed in touch with Mr. Epstein after his 2008 conviction and three years later helped the financier contact a pair of Bitcoin developers, according to emails included in the documents.

Did Jason ever mentioned this in the episode, can you ask gemini?

Perhaps they have a different take on engineering than you.

Shipping code is not the end goal of engineering. In fact, more code you ship more liability you have. Main goal is solving problems.

How capable it is do you think at this moment. I guess we need 30 more years for software to get better, so less than 20 thousand children dies in the Gaza genocide.

What exactly is your point? Is abandoning your religion and what music you listen a requirement of integration?

This is how your point reads like: Just cosplay as a white european christian, and if you still experience racism... well fuck those racists.

Archlinux:

> Arch Linux is intentionally minimal, and is meant to be configured by the user during installation so they may add only what they require.

They should have been like DHH, opinonated, convention over configuration and ship with minecraft pre installed

> Dragging somebody through the courts and fining them heavily for a simple social media post is pretty extreme

Simple cute social media post where she equates afghan refugees to gang rapists.

> Which opinions will get you a visit from the cops and a stern talking to?

Racist ones that leads to violence. Argument started from "going to jail in europe for posting memes" to "posting statistics" to blatant racist xenophobic stereotyping punished via financial penalty. Free speech crusade came all the way to this goal post.

No, she was not fined for posting crime statistics [0].

Congratulations. I have been following the retrospectives for more than 2 years now. I hope to keep enjoying your monthly posts.

My question is, did you change anything on your strategy after you were set on selling? Or the goal was still the same, optimize earnings?

It's so solid, you don't even get syntax highlighting in pr reviews. Solid single color like I'm reading a legal document.

You want to write suggestions in your pr review? You can only select a single line and you will have to write a regular code block not a suggestion block.

Your comments and discussions over that line? Gone, after a force push bitbucket acts like it saw the blinding light from men in black.
