Oddly, although I can use chopsticks to eat, I can not visualize what my grip is from these pictures. It’s delegated entirely to my hand at this point and I don’t think about it any more.

All these fuckers are our neighbors and for many of us former employers.

We know exactly how they think, and what they think of us.

Andreesen is the tip of the iceberg.

I found that keeping up with people over video works better when you’re in the same time zone. When I was managing teams at +8 hours and -12.5 relative hours, communication and trust just weakened steadily over time and creative collaboration stalled. Spending a week there in person usually got things unstuck.

I know people on split engineering teams between LA and Seattle who prefer all virtual and it’s worked long term. LA to NY I think would be a heavier lift.

And, of course, this whole discussion is always dominated by software engineers; there are lots of jobs that involve actual manipulation of matter where in person collaboration is essential to communicate skills.

Yeah the US has been far far more outspoken about defending Taiwan than Ukraine.

A lot of them (Alphabet in particular) overinvested in commercial real estate and are now sitting on a huge sunk cost.

England has explicitly had a non-autocratic king since 1215, the idea that the King of England “owned everything” is ahistorical.

Do some research on the British East India Company before you’re so sure about how things worked in India. It was the first multinational, and it ran India as a profit center.

One thing I find interesting about your comments is that you’re using a very Marxist framework to talk about pre-capitalist modes of organization (which is reductionist and partly why he is not taken seriously as a sociologist in most settings).

India under the Raj. Ireland under the UK.

It’s official Lemmy, we have our first astroturf campaign!

Using the right tool for the right task is a big part of being a good engineer.

Liftoff is pretty good as well.

It was really unstable during the first big reddit abandonment.

Came here to say this.

Throwing a punch worked way way better.

Fan base probably is fairly right wing anyway.
