We know for a fact that pedophiles, kidnappers, and murders exist. I think we just always thought we could sniff them out by knowing our community. That was probably a false sense of security all along. Now we mostly live in communities too plentiful to know everyone so our fear is unchecked.

Agreed. I sometimes feel tense crossing big box parking lots where mostly no space has been designated to walking. Imagine a small person surrounded by pickup trucks and SUV’s from which they’re completely invisible.

My point is the author claims that it’s origin is such and such political affiliation “unquestionably”. Prove it.

> Despite crypto’s unquestionably right-libertarian roots

I had trouble reading beyond that in the second sentences. You can’t just retroactively assign a political affiliation to the origin of an algorithm application.

I would guess the entire Western hemisphere and 99.99% of the planet has zero concern for a Marmite shortage.

My mobile phone’s voicemail is configured to accept zero recorded messages, and my no-answer/busy recording asks callers to text or email me. I’ve had no issues with this setup. Everyone’s in the same boat so I think people immediately understand.

I can’t speak to that timeline but I’ll add that I have a use-hate relationship with Reddit. It’s a source of great information and misinformation, caring and callousness.

The points are essentially:

* ski trips and the like build good rapport

* chance encounters with colleagues are valuable

* steps make you healthier

The world is realizing that these are so much easier to solve for in remote-first work than it is to solve the problems associated to office-first.

I’ll admit I didn’t read the whole thing but this sound like hyperbole

> And GitHub cascade-deleted our community that took 10 years to build.

How does losing stars equate to losing the community? Won’t actual fans be right back using and contributing?

If you remove a contributor of a private github repo it deletes their remote fork and all of their remote branches. To me that’s real loss.

I’ll pay extra for lossless compression, which is some Black Mirror stuff.

Hosted Jira was working fine for me yesterday.

I don’t think the analogy is correct. One is an abstraction to remove low level commands and the other is a GUI that applies the same commands.

If I need something to look good as text without any rendering I write text (a .txt file). Even the most basic features of markdown (inline code, italics, etc) look pretty nasty without post rendering.
