"Open source has always worked on a system of trust and verify"

Not sure about the trust part. Ideally, you can evaluate the change on its own.

In my experience, I immediately know whether I want to close or merge a PR within a few seconds, and the hard part is writing the response to close it such that they don't come back again with the same stuff.

(I review a lot of PRs for openpilot - https://github.com/commaai/openpilot)

> People who join ICE to brutalize minorities and protestors are just trying to feed their families too, then.

1400 ISIS (the islamist state) terrorists who made their way to the US, identified by the DHS.

https://www.dhs.gov/wow

Look at the list here. 2084 pages already, 12 entries per page: that's 25 000 criminals. They're listing their crimes. 25 000 criminals already arrested is a huge lot.

Be honest with yourself and think about the victims.

I'd say a lot of the people joining ICE do believe the US has already enough criminals that are US citizens and want to help stop the insanity that is mass uncontrolled migration.

Out of 600 000 people arrested by ICE, as I understand it already 25 000 are violent criminals that we know of. That's more nearly 5% of all those arrested. 1 in 20 people.

Where do you draw the limit? You want full open borders, but at what cost?

I read a lot of "Arrested for: kidnapping, rape".

Is, say, 1 in 100 people coming in being a criminal OK?

Where do you draw the line?

Dems are literally fighting so that sanctuary cities do not hand over convicted criminals to ICE: so that one day they can be released in the streets.

Is this what you want to fight for?

Are you that convinced, from your moral high ground where you judge Microsoft employees and ICE agents, that you'll be on the right side of history?

The irony of a post about Palantir working with ICE devolving into xenophobia about the founders of Palantir.
ngcazz · 16 days ago
They will never experience xenophobia in any meaningful way, unlike the millions surveilled by the technology they're developing.

The AirDrop randomly not working one is really manifesting at the most inconvenient times.

Apple simply won't fix it.

That's the problem with the "it just works" philosophy. When it doesn't... you have no idea what's wrong and no way to fix it. A bolted hood over the engine.

Not OP, but I have 2 8020D + a subwoofer.

If I had to do it all over again I would have 2 8030C and no subwoofer.

ngcazz · 25 days ago
Also have 2 8020D's but I skimped on the subwoofer. Probably a bad idea, since they deemphasize the lows so much, but surprisingly I can crank up them up on my mixer's EQ to make up for it without losing clarity.

I can both dislike the Israeli government and want for the Israeli population to be protected against missile and drone attacks.

I can both dislike Hamas and want for Palestine to be free.

Is it that hard for you to imagine that people just want to be safe? This is not a football match where you pick a side and then hate on the other side! Stop doing that! These are real people. If groups shoot stuff at Israel of course they're going to try to shoot that stuff out of the sky.

The best, surest way to protect Israelis from resistance attacks is to end the reason for a resistance in the first place - the apartheid state. If you want Palestine to be free, this should be a no-brainer.

I'd be happy to do 60-hour weeks of good work, in a good environment.

I wouldn't want 60-hour weeks of dealing with a lot of promotion-seekers, though.

I wonder how different Google would be if they'd just paid people enough money they didn't have to think about money, but it was the same amount of money to everyone. You do the work, not for promotions, but because you like doing the work. You can train up for and transfer to different kinds of roles, but they pay the same.

Okay? I'm not making a point about how long individuals should want to spend working (although this being 2026 I believe it should be less not more)

Alphabet has effectively monetized the world economy and gained outsized influence on policy, and Brin has about 25% of voting shares on the company

His money is on advocating that people widely forfeit a right acquired by labor movements in the early 20th century, and through his ex, on public-sector scientific research becoming unviable

This amounts nakedly (if fortuitously) a further consolidation of power and capital in the hands of a powerful few

It's not just millions. Shanahan received over a billion dollars when divorcing Brin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Shanahan

Today's unscientific gutting of the CDC's childhood vaccine schedule is what is being accomplished with all that $GOOG money.

It's honestly very disturbing and rather than discuss it as a matter of politics, I'll just say that as a parent I'll be following the AAP's vaccination recommendations (even if their recommendations on baby sleep are impossible :)

While Brin comes back to Google to advocate for 60h workweeks as it lays off thousands of employees.

About
Israel is a rogue state holding the world hostage while it commits genocide against Palestinians. Consider donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, avoiding doing business with Israeli companies and lobbying your representatives. Our shared future may well depend on it, and the Palestinians' definitely does.
