>Wasn't a lack of transparency one of the original issues folks didn't like about Digg?

For me it was a slow gradual build up of stuff. Lack of transparency played a role but it was* more the features added/removed. The final thing that made me switch to reddit was the changes to power users. They basically allowed power users to completely control the front page. There are tons of reddit threads that go into a lot more details.

Crowdstrike brought linux machines down earlier this year in April. There* are several posts in this thread about it.

Honestly in the past year or two I have been fairly impressed with recent grads I have worked with. On the other hand I've run across several people that got laid off from one of the big tech companies and I am shocked how little they know. Things that should have taken a week or two such as setting up an api endpoint to return records or consuming one of our apis ends up taking 4+ months for them to complete.

I am a little confused what you are saying here. Are you saying Newsom doesn't deserve all the blame, because I agree with him not deserving it all, but I don't really see anyone claiming he is solely to blame (other than you implying it).

I live in CA. I blame everyone down the chain. Most people I know say the same thing. Its not one person or entity. Its the entire chain that allows this to happen including the legislature, business owners that are lobbying, the governor that is signing these bill, but most of all the citizens voting in CA. We voted for this. IMO we are the one entity the most to blame.

Until we, the voters, step up and take responsibility for our actions nothing is going to get fixed. After all why would the business owners, legislators, or governor be expected to take responsibility when everyone who votes in the state gets to pass the buck?

>> however, I do not think there is any real danger in airing with the side of caution and trying to fight the innate biases in the training data. It seems like this was Google's goal.

Could you please provide evidence of this being google goal? From everything I have seen, from the posts of google employees who worked on it, to Geminis own responses, they were being racist against white people. In fact considering google retains so much power over your average person I believe it would be considered systemic racist.

To claim it is being overblown to me sounds like you are trying to say this form of racism is okay.

Check out the book empire of pain. It goes back the beginning of the Sackler rise and covers how we go to where we are today.

The problem I have with your statement about the legal system is IMO Purdue and the Sacklers corrupted the justice department, legal system, and various Federal agencies. This was not some overnight thing. This took decades of works by multiple generation of the family. The system we have today is in large part thanks to the Sacklers.

I think they were comparing losing a home to losing a service that your business or income source depend on. The second actually seems worse to me as losing your source of money means you lose your home along with everything else.

Thank you very much! I don't know how I haven't seen this in the past 2 months.

No I was being serious. Searching turns up defeating the system with someone in the seat but not without. The other commenter provided a video showing it is possible from two month ago.

I have not seen any easy way to get a tesla to drive without anyone in it. Any chance you could provide a link showing this?

Your comment is a little confusing to me.

>>The priority should be to stop the spread of fire not prevent houses being burned down.

This would imply you think DLNR should have released the water the West Maui Land Co. as they were using it to "help prevent the spread of fire" (direct quote from your quote). Yet you say at the beginning.

>>Reading the article this seems perfectly fine.

Do you believe DLNR acted appropriately by not releasing the water which increased the spread of fire or do you believe DLNR should have released the water to help stop the spread of fire?
