Elon Musk letting all the neo-Nazis and racists back on Twitter certainly didn't have the effect of making people more dismissive of those viewpoints

We can't rely on the assholes running these site to ban pedophiles. They'd endorse a pedophile president if they thought it would give them less taxes/regulations.

This is a prudent move, we've only seen the very beginnings if the sorts of indoctrination and manipulation our kids might be subjected to.

Never thought I'd sound this way, but i can no longer ignore reality.

Even GitHub provides more sophisticated metrics

No, completely hypocritical filings that argue completely opposite political stances depending on how favorable it is to them is a hallmark of everyone involved in this administration.

Supporters of terrorism

I think you mean, "opponents of genocide". Common mistake amongst genocidal fascists

Some easy tasks involve pumping out mounds of code/commits, some tasks involve monumental amounts of inter-department cooperation or design discussions with open source communities online or at yearly conferences and result in relatively small amounts of code especially in terms of LOC/day.

This study purports to take this into account to some degree but i call bullshit. I can barely explain this level of nuance to anyone above my first-line manager everyone else is just like what's taking so long can we throw an intern on it to speed things up? and its like sure... after you hire them full-time and spend the next couple years training them. Oh you want me to do it that too?

The whole tone of this "researcher" makes the bias so clear but I'm sure we'll have all kinds of fancy new monitoring and lay-offs of good people thanks to these sorts of bullshit metrics.

If you want to know whether employees are a waste of space or not, hire good fucking managers that know what they are doing. If they farm that out to tools like this, it's a good sign they don't.

Trump will handle it. 2 weeks, max.

"During that time, the ship’s transponder, which charts its movements on the so-called Automatic Identification System, shut down in what is known as a “dark incident” in marine traffic jargon. The ship then continued even as the dragging anchor greatly reduced its speed, according to satellite and other data reviewed by investigators."

Double oops!

So blatantly obvious. There should be serious consequences. Banning Russian-crewed ships seems like a reasonable start

Accurate.

And now...

Ooof... that one time I showed up to 11th grade 1st period late because i was spiking my hair for the first time and it was incredibly obvious that that's why i was late
