You’ve gotta replace some stuff yearly on those houses by ocean spray, it’s actually a bigger problem than it might seem

The cynical read for “why wait until the last week” is to make China/US relations even more difficult for Biden. The Trump admin doesn’t have to deal with fallout.

Gluten free also refers to processing. If something is made in the same facility / alongside a product with gluten it’s a serious problem with people with Celiac.

It does.

They would play around with the definition of "commercialized".

"Technically we offered it on sale for $500,000; nobody buys it so we've never made one, but it's still on the market!"

"But you’ve had civilizations rise and fall by a change in material strength by a decimal point, and now you’re talking about orders of magnitude."

Does anyone know what he's referring to in this comment?

Why? If California is your norm, keep in mind that California has 20% of the U.S.'s homeless population (California, Texas, and Florida have 58% of the under-18 homeless population). It's really not a universal problem.

Sunk costs are sunk costs, and opportunity cost is very real. Don't sink more into it if you don't believe in the future of the product AND the team AND the company as a whole.

All the tech workers I know in the U.S. have very satisfying careers, but it depends on your metric and who you're talking to. Many of my Southeast Asian and Indian tech friends work hard to get to the U.S., and I don't see the reverse happening much.

Huge congrats to Jon and Tim! I worked with them in 2011 and it's an amazing team that I'd be honored to work with any day. Yahoo! is lucky to have them.

Slow-mo exploding things for the win. Also this is a super good, interesting explanation of nothing I never would have cared about before.

I question the idea that 90% of the U.S. has foreign ties, but your point (it's absurd) remains.

Actually I'd really like to see how much of the population something like FISA actually applies to.

> I don't believe this was a Python problem or an issue of the Python community, it's a general issue plaguing technology.

Obviously broader than the scope of this conversation, but let's not forget that /society/ is bad at this. You carve out a subsection of the larger culture, and, surprise! Sexism is still a problem. I find it absurd that anyone would think the larger tech community /wouldn't/ have this problem.

Thus, I'm pretty happy that, fex, the Node community seems to have a decent grip on keeping things under control, at least in the early days. There will be occasional trolls, newcomers, and people that don't "get it" yet, but I think the community leaders are leading responsibly.
