Neurodivergent folks often need a little extra time to learn or for somebody to sit down and explain things to clearly. We do not need a carte blanche for decades of sexual harassm…

Yeah I agree that catching things in the moment is also great. It's all just tricky.

Author here, wasn't advocating for this. Proving intent in court is an extremely high bar, and means that a lot of stuff, such as fraud, goes unpunished. So, I'm not sure that this…

you do not have to be a data vendor to have sensitive data on your servers

Customers will probably be less upset if something leaks internal to a party during a primary than they would be if something leaked to a different party.

Support doesn't have to be voluntary, and often isn't. If you are coerced into supporting the status quo, that doesn't mean you aren't supporting it, it just means you lack the fre…

It is possible to run into more than enough trouble with data without being a data broker.

Going to especially second that last bit. Not everybody is expressly data science, but most companies start running into some sort of data at one point or another. Campaigns aren't…

That remains terrible branding. Branding is part of marketing. Her dog is not part of that.

So much for Sincerity and Integrity in Dealings between Man and Man I guess :p

In a world where you have a massive backlog of good content, yes. Unfortunately, I struggle to find content which is both high quality and easy to learn from. Do you have suggestio…

Heretic. Kernighan and Ritchie is the one true gospel.

This guy is nuts. Basically every article I look at I wind up reading multiple times and get new information each time. If I had the attention span to keep reading them I would pro…

I don't think I'd ever do an embargo in a cold pitch. My experience is that cooperation is best assured with an incentive structure, and you don't really have the power in a cold e…

I am not a lawyer. We operate very very differently than Chez JJ did. Because of our community focus, the vast majority of the residents in the house at any given time are long-ter…

Cool! TIL!
