I’ve worked with some truly excellent people who came from Theranos.

Gebru.

I’ve never read that quotation, that’s amazing. Thanks for sharing it.

I can still remember, on an evening back in the 1980s, newscaster Gerrick Utley commenting on “this particularly slow news day.” Even as a dumb kid, I understood that to be a good …

Part of the issue here is that the military establishment and its peripheral industries in the US are so enormous, that most people who aren’t in the military are close to someone …

Maybe I should qualify that with, “outside of China.” If you’re using Apple phones in China, you should assume your data are available to the CCP. Otherwise, I have yet to see any …

Many comments here boil down to “if you want privacy, buy an iPhone.” While true, this is another exhibit of privacy now being only for people who can afford it.

I’m confused. This looks like soccer, yet none of the players are flopping and pretending to be injured.

I’m not so sure about that - Zapier has a number of use cases that are completely unrelated to AWS.

Fundamentally, your retort to the parent’s (poorly expressed and now dead) reply is sound, though I believe they might have been circling the concept of negative vs. positive right…

Agreed, SSH-based remote development could certainly be smoother. But I love the way PyCharm uses pydev to run a Remote Debugging Server - that works for most remote-development us…

So we agree that mean and racist tropes are bad and should be shunned. I’m glad to hear it.

I perceive the "It's okay to be white" slogan as a very moderate and constructive reaction to the propagation and even normalization of anti-white messages and memes. And I specifi…

That’s always going to be a WIP. If artists want to cut out Ticketmaster, they already can, and sometimes do. Ticketmaster exists solely because artists want to charge lots of mone…

Another suggestion: eat seitan, if you can. It’s basically wheat gluten, made into dough and baked like bread, but it has a meatloaf-like texture. Add in spices and nutritional yea…

I nominate this: https://github.com/maduce/fosscad-repo/tree/master/Firearms/...

Except the company isn’t named anywhere, as far as I can tell. So at the moment it’s not any kind of PR.

That the Wal-Mart sample wasn’t adulterated isn’t surprising at all. Wal-Mart is notoriously bossy and intrusive to its suppliers; it’s sometimes said that if you sell to Wal-Mart,…

Eh, you should meet some of my coworkers.

I don’t think those people had a binary choice between starving and a Ph.D. program.

The story of how AWS started is a common misconception. Yes, it began with S3, but it’s just not true that Amazon externalized its internal application hosting technology.

They’ll pay in exposure.

Be quiet.

Morgan Stanley already is betting on a return to positive growth sometime in late Q2. I won’t bet against them.
