Love it (no sarcasm)

You sound as equally fun to be around as the manager you are describing.

"The interviewer couldn’t help but notice her name, Nephele. It sounds Greek. But he didn’t ask, not wanting to get off on the wrong foot with the promising candidate. He made a mental note to look up the name afterwards."

Sad, I'm so guilty of doing exactly this - right away. I love etymology / genealogy, and am always curious.

Its in no way negative, its literally just my curiosity taking over. Sometimes I hate how ridiculous we've become.

You're missing the point. This is the real world, not the try Olympics. If I buy a burger from you at a fast food place, and you bring me back a bun, but you tried really hard to make me that burger -- I don't care. Go get me my burger.

If you're trying really hard no to, but still facilitate 1000x the amount of violence (made up statistics), it doesn't matter. The real world results are what matter. At least, its what should matter.

So lets think about this for a minute. What is the goal? To stop violence and to stop promulgating illegal material? Or to make it look like you want to stop violence?

If its the latter, then lets continue to deplatform people. If its the former, then lets ban facebook, twitter et al given their proven history of allowing violence and hate speech and as an essential tool to organize mobs.

The logic here is terrible and you can't argue against that. No matter how many users parler gets, it won't even come close to having the same reach.

Imagine congress understanding a word you just said.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We've been watching this happen for a few years now, and some of us are actively paving the road.

I'm about as deep in the user space as you can get, and it would take YEARS for a new company to have a proven record before my company would even consider adopting it. years. And not only would it take years, it would need to prove that it is better than AutoDesk, not as good, better. Most likely, orders of magnitude better. We are so far deeply entrenched into AutoDesk ecosystem that any change would probably be on the scale of decades.

It comes from the fictitious idea that if you play with bits, you're smarter than most people. My outside-of-industry perspective has me come to this conclusion.

I suspect he'll be figuring out more new and unique ways to serve us ads.

edit: and that's no knock on this kids skills / talents!

I'm guessing the CEO is not anti-money.

Stopping a mid-rise building during SEPA review because of migratory bird flight paths is one thing, but macro scale environmental impacts that could occur during the constructions of freeways etc - yea we should review thoroughly.

yeesh. I wish someone would 'attack' me by accusing me of working at apple. A boy can dream...

And what happens when you require a bailout because the government forcefully shut down the economy? You need to critically think about what you are offering up as a solution.
