You mean Don Jr.’s father? I heard his money is tied up in court. I mean, women have been accusing him of rape for decades now… just like Don Sr.!

I just wish these features could be updated and integrated into the OS or new app instead all these vestigial apps hanging around.

Like bringing the airport utility’s functionality into the OS proper should be part of the OS updates.

But instead, the network section in system prefs somehow gets MORE obtuse over time while good functionality languishes in a forgotten app and major OS updates are now primarily new emojis for messages.

DAMN

It doesn’t work that way because, for instance, the congressmen that celebrated the 4th of July in Moscow belong to a political party that weakened campaign finance law and allowed the potential for foreign influence while nominating a man who they themselves claim is paid by Vladimir Putin; a political party whose voters fly the confederate flag, threaten fellow citizens with “2nd amendment solutions”, who say they want to drown the federal government and constantly argue for states like Texas to secede…

You know REAL AMERICANS.

Bullshit and it’s right there in your comment: devs are not the only ones capable of assessing difficulty. The entire team should be doing that COLLABORATIVELY well before any dev touches a keyboard. Code isn’t some arcane black magic and we’ve all built products before, heard these excuses before… so stop saying “that’s not your job, that’s not my job”. Not a good look.

Suddenly declaring something is too hard and ignoring specs during the build phase is not a part of any dev’s fucking job, though you’d be surprised by the way they act.

Which is encapsulated perfectly in your comment. You mention it’s someone else’s job to handle business direction problems while ignoring how the problem is actually the dev not doing their job to begin with. The product meets its goals by showing three points of data, but a dev said fuck it and only showed one. That’s not a business issue, it’s a “I don’t want to” problem. Just like in your comment, any issues with “business direction” did not exist until you cited it to cover up for not doing the work that was already planned.

It’s not scapegoating to point out actual behavior. Behavior I’ve seen for 15 years and behavior you reinforced with your comment. You completely ignore the role of collaboration. It’s insulting to have a dev define your job in order for them to justify making decisions in a vacuum.

It’s especially maddening to hear this after I’ve spent over a year working directly with the CEO and CPO on a new product, lead focus groups, spoken with 100’s users on the issue, designed prototyped and validated solutions with additional testing… all alongside dev leads to expose any concerns early on. The board is happy, the c-suite is happy, the users like it, and we’re all set except some jackass developer thinks that since they know C# no one else can weigh in on all of their reasons to just not build what the TEAM designed.

Hell yes!

Does your wristwatch carry a history of use in terrorism? Did it once raise flags at the border if you had more than one? I’ll wait…

In my experience it’s been more like…

UX: “users said they want these three pieces of info”

DEV: “I typically only look for one of those pieces of info, so I built this to just show the one”

UX: “users said they want three things for these reasons… only one isn’t as helpful and it’s not hard to add the other 2”

DEV: “well how’s that supposed to fit?”

UX: “like the designs already show”

DEV: “well I’ll put a ticket in the backlog and someone can come back to it, if they have time.”

PM: “I see no reason to prioritize slight “UX improvement” tickets over shit like new features or bug fixes…”

REPEAT X1000.

Then sit through months of user testing where people keep saying exactly what you are saying. “Why not add x? I guess someone thought it’s cleaner that way” but all these little pains add up to “death by a thousand cuts”

Then everyone complains and scapegoats design.

If abortion access is going to be on the ballot hopefully dems can make some serious hay and get out the vote.

Oh it’s only about a primary? No reason to think their beliefs will exist beyond the primary…

Certainly no reason to think that they’d consider a vote for Biden tantamount to supporting genocide OUTSIDE OF A PRIMARY. I’m sure repeating that comparison over and over won’t affect a single voter outside of the primary.

No by all means I’m sure they’re actually organically starting a movement to work with the dem candidate to get traction on their views.

Oh wait they are associating Biden with genocide. I’m sure that isn’t going to come up in the general election and if it does it’s totally not by design. FFS

Just like the walk away campaign pay attention to their actions. Regardless of their stated opinions, we can all support the end of Israel’s genocide, at best these people are self defeating.

It gets a little weird with the web of ownership, use case, contract details and people involved.

Ok it can get really weird… hear me out.

Basically in most cases the vessel owner is only liable up to value of the vessel itself. It’s something that like much of the maritime industry came about from practices in the 19th century and vessel ownership back then. Unfortunately, the vessel is likely worth no where near as much as taking out a fucking bridge. Also in any given scenario a vessel could be owned by the captain, owned by a corp, leased by a corp to a captain, leased by a corp to another corp etc. weird ownership scenarios like those are commonplace in shipping.

In certain circumstances a company can be on the hook but the other big wrinkle is determining who is liable in the first place like the vessel crew, or port crew (but for instance if someone from on shore is working on the vessel at the time they are considered acting crewmembers). This is compounded with the whole mechanical error issue and how supposedly the vessel was having maintenance work done before hand, but then lost power twice? Insurance inspectors are going bonkers at this point.

Point is this is a way wackier scenario to deal with compared to your average fender bender. But in a way kinda has to be, not because of lobbying or corporate malfeasance but because of the complex nature of maritime law, shipping, and insurance.

What else are they going to spend that money on? Crap like deescalation training and non-lethal equipment?

AI is the subject not the creator in this case.

At this point I’m starting to think that paying her off is the point. Everything else is collateral damage to things they don’t care about anyways. If you’re willing to hire this woman, stuff like “journalistic integrity” doesn’t matter to you. Plus you get to knock down your claims of “liberal bias” in the news, and friends of friends get a legal payout to pay them back for lying about the election and Biden.

Little bit of controversy, “liberal bias” takes a knock, storm then blows over and a total piece of shit just so happens to walk away paid off.

Yea but that would have required NBC execs to not actively subvert any newsworthiness the network had in the first place. I’m starting to think there is a conscious effort to do the opposite, possibly just to legitimize payouts to fascists.

It’s really weird how frankly corporate-centrist news orgs keep getting purchased and then “both sided” by execs who inevitably saddle them with insane far right fascists under the false pretense of “balance”. Look at what happened with CNN... it’s not like CNN was some socialist rag, they just didn’t actively lie like Fox News. So apparently that meant they needed to be sold to new owners who want more Jan 6 level BS, “Biden Crime Family” BS etc. all in the name of “balance”. In the context of many stories like that, it’s hard to see what happened at NBC as an accident.

It’s almost like any idiot could look back at Jan 6, at Fox News and the Dominion lawsuit, and say “that’s definitely not the proper actions of a news org, but even still it’s clearly bad for the bottom line.”

Instead NBC execs looked at people smearing shit on the capitol and said “that’s a political viewpoint we are just not representing enough.” Or a small group said “fuck this liberal noise let’s give her her dues.”

For some reason they felt very compelled to bring on someone who may cause them to absorb the risk of a BS conspiracy theory that already cost another network billions in court fines.

I remember when this was aired live on the news and called freedom.

Left in a field to rot? You say this why? You assume someone graciously assigned value to trash and that’s why museums are full? Why would you think that?

That’s nothing like what actually happened though. But in case I’m wrong please tell us all how the royal arts of India, various different African countries, statues of marble and plates of gold were magically removed from their country of origin and ended up Britain.

Because you claim they were just rotting in a field? Do you know how far off the mark that is?

All this guy is basically saying is “why make a movie that isn’t exactly the way I think?”

Embedded in his mindset is the idea that black people don’t deserve their own audience.

It’s just, you know like… your opinion man.

At this point, the only real news would be if his supporters grew a brain cell and actually began to notice/care about his lying.

Yea but don’t forget, since I’m not getting 100% of what I want, the way I want, achieved precisely when I want it… then they are both the same.
