Can you please define a) what you mean by “woke”, and b) exactly how Bloomberg (a financial publication aimed at the ownership class) qualifies?

Last time I checked with my sources at Antifa headquarters, they weren’t getting the latest treatises on Marxist thought from Bloomberg

No idea, but this makes me less likely to go for HP metal next time I buy servers.

Who knows if the brilliant business minds currently in charge of the printer division will bring this magic to servers. I for one have no interest in finding out.

Yes, it’s utterly nonsensical if you truly believe in the original goals of Bitcoin.

My main issue with urllib is it requires too much boilerplate and it ends up being harder to read the code at a later date in my experience. In general I prefer the standard library, but it’s a bit of a toss up in this case.

At this point I’m open to new and exciting problems, whatever they may be.

Hell, I’d be ok with leeches making a comeback if it meant I didn’t have to pay a copay on top of a premium.

I’m very fond of both New York City, and spending time in nature for the same reason: you just don’t know what you’re gonna see when you walk out your door.

Am I going to hear a violin performance on the subway platform that is utterly sublime from a world class performer?

Am I gonna see the rarest bird in North America perched branch in front of me?

For me, the worst is the middle ground between crazy urban and pure nature where there is low probability of seeing anything exciting.

Yeah, its *super interesting* at first, but once the novelty fades you aren’t left with much.

That said, nowhere on earth had better driving directions on apps since people will notice the bugs on the drive into work and fix them. ;-)

They have to make their own, and it’s not fair trade.

It’s more aggressive in guessing your location to comply with local laws. Ironically you may get less spying.

South Bay is just like a giant company town, it’s actually pretty boring - 60% of people work at the same handful of giant companies, the other 30% work at a startup, and the last 10% serve the first group fair trade coffee.

The weather and climate are amazing, but socially its suffocating when everybody you meet is a variation on a tired theme.
