<p>i’ve become convinced that the devs that talk about having to fix the code are the same ones that would make incredibly poor managers. when you manage a team you need to be focused on the effect of the code not the small details.<p>this sort of developer in a pair programming exercise would find themselves flustered at how a junior approached problem solving and just fix it themselves. i strongly suspect the loss of a feeling of control is at play here.</p>

<p>sure, but no one is making love to their wife so they can feed and house their family. work is not something most people do for pleasure, it is forced on them. this is a clear misrepresentation to frame the argument as stupid, the literal definition of a straw man argument.</p>

<p>i think the idea here is that a staff engineer should be identifying what needs to be done, figures out how to do it, works to push the team and project in that direction, and provides insight to the org as to how it is going</p>

<p>honestly there's too many quarter baked ideas. catalina can control time, but it's not used for any reason. megalon can build a building, or make a medical device for dogs or be used as a biofoam-esque bone restoration thing for catalina post gunshot.<p>where is the clock catalina and juila spend time on? what was the house with catalina's wife supposed to represent? why is clodio even in the film? can we explore the tiny bow and arrow that is used to kill wow but only hit clodio's butt? why is clodio killed for that?<p>i understand that it is a competently developed film, but it is full of unexplored concepts and poorly formed sequences. i'd argue it is much more like a well produced album that is devoid of any meaningful songs.</p>

<p>imho it comes from western states not simply rounding them up. in atlanta, before the peach bowl the cops would descend on downtown, arrest all the homeless, bus them up to cherokee, and then the time it took them to return was greater than the length of the event.<p>now that's a little less common and the yearly doctor conference has noticed the homeless and is complaining about it. i think homelessness is a consequence not of any one area but of the american way of doing things. we treat it as an incurable disease, like addiction, but that we don't care enough about to fix.</p>

<p>i suppose the point being made here is that we are currently in a place of racism, and anyone advocating that moving waway from that place is bad, happens to be advocating for racsim indirectly. i get that that is not the intent of the person, but it is the end they found.</p>

<p>as an answer for you:<p>Political scientist Angelo Falcón argues that the use of broad terms like "person of color" is offensive because it aggregates diverse communities and projects "a false unity" that "obscure[s] the needs of Latinos and Asians"<p>more or less creating a group that simply ‘is not white’ is disparinging for all of the folks in that group that feel more unique than simply ‘not white’</p>

<p>women of color was a thrid wave feminist creation. it was made by white women to describe the non-whites that were asking to be seen. anyone calling anyone a person of color is def a latent racist, as it is always talking down. we can just chat with others wothout acting like we are 5 years old and need to show them we have identified a color or shape that is different!</p>

<p>historically, i get what you mean about ‘ghetto’ or ‘rough area’. i see your point about not intending to be racist, and that’s fair. words have history, and ‘ghetto’ has long been linked with minority groups in a negative light. i’ll be more conscious about the terms i use.<p>about the dashcam footage, i think we’re seeing different things. it’s true, some of the behavior in the footage is similar to what’s normal in parts of asia. cultural habits can clash, and it’s rough to see. but i agree, it’s probably not deliberate, just different habits.<p>and you’re right, some drivers are just inconsiderate. but an autonomous car, with its 360-degree awareness, might handle things like unexpected merges better than we think. it’s a good point, technology might adapt to these situations more efficiently than we anticipate.<p>‘jaywalking’ is racist in origin, a term used to denote ‘jays’ who didn’t understand the rules of the road because the rules where so new culturally. it’s a fitting term, but poor narative, for the clashes you’ve identified in social expectations</p>

<p>what does this fear come from? the logic doesn’t hold up with any automated mass transit i’ve seen. why aren’t people standing on the train lines at airports? why aren’t people trying to hit the distribution robots in Japans airports?<p>do you really think there’s a future where people in ‘rough neighborhoods’ (this is very poorly hidden classism/racism) where they are jumping out in front of cars? there’s very little evidence that people in a mentally sane state, read not incapacitated, will self harm to spite technology.<p>i know living in the bay i’d mess with the self driving cars, but never by getting in the right of way and risking my damn life, only by signaling a left and forcing them to slow down behind me. i never once tried to get infront of the car at the last moment to see if i could be menaingfully maimed. i strongly suspect the desire to not be hurt will trump your concept of how ‘poors’ live</p>
