@_danilo "We took a look at the kind of vast content and moderation problems that happen when user incentives are out of whack, and decided it was a feature and not a bug."
@jb_reefer@buildhomez No, this requires both the Secaucus Loop *and* Gateway full completion (new tunnels + rehabbed old tunnels). Right now Penn is slot-limited due to capacity in the North River Tunnels. Until there are 4 fully operating tubes every new train into Penn means one has to be evicted.
@figgityfigs Even tech-savvy people! "This thing has no intrinsic value and seems to be a collective delusion" "All art has no intrinsic value and is a collective delusion!"
I dunno man, I can hang a Monet on a wall. Also the Monet won't be a templated monkey smoking a blunt.
@figgityfigs I know it's petty of me but so many of my peers were sucked into this BS and I really resented having to even pretend that there is was one iota of reasonability to their views.
@rev_avocado Plus hotels require a lot more BOH square footage (housekeeping, laundry, kitchens...) that would more readily use up deep floor plates...
@un_a_valeable Normally I’d say this will be the thing that finally kills the site properly. But at this point I have no idea - this place has a Rasputin-like uncanny ability to survive no matter how much abuse it’s subject to.
@UberEats Hey, I had a horrible order experience last night and I'm out > $100 of undelivered food - and your Customer Service ticket system is entirely unresponsive. Can I get some help here, or should I stop using Uber Eats and cancel my Uber One entirely?
I don't think I've ever seen a purer distillation of the ideology of racism in a single post
The concept that people should be judged as individuals and racial groups do not collectively commit crime doesn't even seem to cross her mind
@rev_avocado Honestly, "how do you feel about Dubai" has been an awwwwfully good litmus test for people I want to spend more time with. Whether or not you can turn a blind eye to slavery because ooh shiny is a pretty decent test of one's values.
@MikeIsaac +1 on the Fuji X100-series recs. Also consider the Ricoh GR III. Compact, no interchangeable lenses, looks like old-school point-and-shoot cameras but gives lots of manual control and much better image quality than your usual.
@GergelyOrosz Overall lots and lots of code over the past decade was written with little regard for business purpose, and existed mainly as retention for key talent or for the general appearance of the company being cutting edge.
@GergelyOrosz 1) Frontend framework flavor of the week. So much migration done for its own sake with generally poor ROI.
2) Internal reimplementations of common business functions that is otherwise available OSS or bought. *Many* such were poorly justified passion projects for senior devs.
@IDoTheThinking The NYC ferry is a great way to see the city and IMO beats an expensive tour boat. +1 on Transit Museum. Flushing for food and a little slice of Asian urbanism in the America. +1 on Jackson Heights for an urban typology uncommon on the other coast.
Case in point: the early days of crypto was literally just redressing marketing material as a "whitepaper", making sure to write in LaTeX in the style of an academic paper. Snookered half the industry with that ONE trick.
Tech is almost comically susceptible to big words. If you want to express the most asinine thought, just dress it up in big words (even better, words you invented yourself) and the orange site will nod along sagely.
Like I really wish there was a more complicated scheme to gaming the tech community, but there really isn't. Just clone the style of debate argumentation and throw in a truckload of big/invented words.
