Either these bozos are starting the car and then skooching over into the passenger or god fuckin forbid back seat, or some psychopath is starting the car, setting it in motion and then jumping??

Are there any projects out there trying to archive YouTube videos? There's so much genuinely useful information on YouTube, seriously, but YouTube itself isn't a good archiving tool. Users can delete videos, they can close their accounts, videos might get copyright striked etc. It's weird to imagine in maybe 20 years a lot of the videos we see on YouTube might be gone, if the platform still exists. I guess this is a general problem with digital media and the websites that host them. America Inc. fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Apr 21, 2021 |

When paywall went up while it was running, there was freakouts in various internet corners and a bunch of stuff like tumblr people sharing accounts that got banned, etc... The picture is a group costume of various characters from the game + one person dressed as the paywall

It easier for people to run games I wrote for the TRS-80 and the Apple II (via the Internet Archive) than stuff I designed 6 years ago.

evilweasel posted:the other obvious argument for a third-party is "you claim to have made an AI that can safely* drive by itself* ... but can't make an AI to tell if there's actually a human in the driver's seat?" It's even easier to trick a Tesla into thinking there's someone in the driver's seat than I thought! https://twitter.com/ConsumerReports/status/1385260821324914690 It doesn't even check if there's any weight in the seat. Only that the driver's seatbelt is buckled, and that there's a little bit of resistance to the steering wheel's movements. We're absolutely going to see "hands-free self-driving" kits sold by third parties along the same lines as those "seat belt alarm stoppers."

You don't even need one, those D-shaped latches for the car door are perfect bottle openers already. Just open the door, crack your stubby, and enjoy. I discovered this when we were at a campground, my mates added the "do it while the car is being driven" aspect to it. No open container laws in the state we were doing the roadtrip in

That one specifically was becasuse there was a goon doing a live-translation LP of some animu game, at a time when no other translations of the game existed. Lots of kids on tumblr who were into the dangan ronpa fandom wanted to lurk the forums to read it, and probably didn't have their parents' credit card.

Basecamp, the perennial "we aren't like those lame VC companies, we're the cool progressive tech company" decided to pull a Coinbase and say, yes, we are actually like those lame VC companies. https://world.hey.com/jason/changes-at-basecamp-7f32afc5 My favourite bit is how they're doing everyone a favour by getting rid of those 'paternalistic' benefits and helping everyone out by eliminating all that pesky fairness and accountability in reviews, or employees getting together to discuss things or have opinions on politics.

So their CTO can constantly tweet and go on podcasts about politics during work including amplifying Glen loving Greenwald but now the actual workers can't discuss politics. Nice.

I actually agree with the removal of 360 reviews, they often are just a performative exercise where you don't get much meaningful feedback about what you're doing because you're asking people to remember that time you worked with them 3 months ago on some project. Then you meet with your boss and make up some BS goals for the year that you aren't actually tasked to accomplish. The banning of political discussion is bad, and I bet the company doesn't have any ERGs. What if you're in a minority group and you find you're getting underpaid, where's your support network? Is it "political" to suggest hiring practices might be racist/affected by bias? E: basically, it's a willful denial of reality to believe that you can simply isolate politics out of the workplace when issues like systemic racism and sexism are omnipresent and unconscious.

The answer is in the blog post, and it's apparently "talk to the white lady in HR": quote:The responsibility for DEI work returns to Andrea, our head of People Ops (I know that ERGs aren't exactly the same thing as all DEI, but in a company as small as basecamp I'd be shocked if there was any additional resources available for employees). The 360 thing on it's own isn't a big deal, but it definitely feeds into the whole picture of "we're just going to call the shots and you can all get back to work and stop having opinions". enki42 fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Apr 27, 2021 |
