FWIW: I realized this year that there are whole cohorts of management people who have absolutely zero relationship with the words that they speak. Literal tabula rasas who convert their thoughts to new words with no attachment to past statements/goals.

Put another way: Liars exist and operate all around you in the top tier of the FAANGS rn.

These people are putting their bodies on the line. It is a public protest. I cannot infer anything other than that they’re willing to risk everything, including their privacy to defend their ideas.

This isn't a cultural thing. Human evolution is ugly. Evolution's filter function is death. If you can't feed yourself, nature will use you for food.

You are coming from a place of extreme privilege lamenting that people get stressed about losing a job. It's not a minor inconvenience if you're working on something you think is important. Button pushers have little to mourn. People working on big projects have to establish new goals for themselves & align themselves with an entirely new professional network. These are not minor things.

edit: I don't understand the downvotes here. Is it considered poor manners to point out that people don't get to control how people perceive them?

“It was dark by now. I was tipsy, but not more so than a regular Saturday night.”

What a strange piece of [fiction || non-fiction].

It isn’t good to see large communities of humans burning mental calories to come to the same set of conclusions (I’m on team sandwich because $REASON | I’m on team taco because $REASON). It is a mental D.o.s. directed towards humans that tend towards herding.

Minneapolis is a farming transit hub that expanded organically. I don’t understand the underlying claims of racism here.

>>To take a person and alias them into being "good" or "bad" based on an action or a series of actions is to explicitly dehumanize them

The only reliable method for evaluating someone’s values is to assess the choices they make. What values do their actions suggest? Do these choices affect your ability to trust these people?

I fundamentally disagree that it dehumanizes to do this, and I also fundamentally disagree that anyone intends to dehumanize them with this approach. I find it troubling that anyone expresses such a black and white assessment of people trying to determine where others should fit in the herd.

Put another way:

the only way to judge someone’s ethics is by evaluating their action and comparing it against their words.

This is either a government honeypot, or it should be rebranded as “rusty trombone.”

Do you have some data that supports this claim? I haven't gone sniffing recently- but I believe T-mobile is still wed to 2G for the foreseeable future, and internationally, 2G is still in a lot of countries. I believe one northern european telco is going to decommission their UMTS network and support both LTE & GPRS.

This is an adorable project that assumes people who are familiar with nmap regularly scan whatever they can.

It’s cute, but I’d expect it to be pretty dull to watch.
