You posted the same link I did. Did you read my comment before commenting?
No, I posted a direct link to the design document. Did you check to see how long that logo was in use before claiming that it was "short lived"?

So it is indisputable fact that he was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence, and that the police report indicated a "minor injury."
> these bans were made in bad faith
It's possible that the worst of these bans were done in strategic bad faith in partnership with the plaintiffs: to provide standing and legal cause for the plaintiffs to sue.
There may have been bans made that were reasonable but politically one-sided (perhaps an illustrated kamasutra, just to give an example), and the strategy to re-establish them was a sort of reverse motte-and-bailey -- get things that are far more innocent banned in a bid to sue and reverse all bans.
A lot of things are "possible." Do you have any evidence to support this version of events?
Throwaway. Can confirm he's a domestic abuser. When deciding where to go after DeepMind, xAI wasn't even on my radar because I knew about this guy.
"Confirm" implies that others have suggested this? To be clear, my bias is to believe you, but I'd like to have more evidence, or at least more corroboration.

>It's not foolish.
It is all about fooling the viewer. Like for example seeing some run down old buildings in US or Eastern Europe will make people scoff, but if you show them similar looking run down buildings in South Mediterranean Europe or Japan they will be in awe. It's about perception.
>Design is subjective
No it isn't. Just like art and people's appearances, there's unanimously objective on what's beautiful and what's ugly.
The redesigned Pepsi logo is objectively worse, which is why it was so short lived and reverted back to the original design.
People who say there's no such thing as ugly design because it's al subjective are coping hard or trying to sell their design agency.
Which redesigned Pepsi logo are you referring to here? The one with the legendary design document[0] lasted from 2008 to 2023.

I can see it happening. You have to utilize a lot of other one person startup services, so ultimately it’s a still a virtual company.
But you won’t have to be beholden to anyone other than the customer.

Zune was actually kinda nice - although I agree nobody bought it!
The same was reportedly true of Windows Phone 7. "Cringe hardware" seems to simply mean hardware that was good, but couldn't gain market share.
Microsoft being the cool guys? The cool guys? Mwuhahahhaa.
This gave me the good belly laugh I needed.
For the last 25 years, Microsoft was known for:
- being the no. 1 enemy of free software
- shipping the worst web browser in existence, despite 80%+ market share
- making corrupt deals with governments around the world to tie them to their office software suite
- creating vendor-locked proprietary extensions to kill open technologies (ActiveX plugins, Silverlight, C++/CLI, MSJVM, etc.)
- making cringe hardware that basically noone purchased (Zune, Windows Phone)
The last time they might have been considered the "cool guys" was sometime in the 90s.
ActiveX plugins? MSJVM? Last 25 years? You might need to update your script.
rideontime commented on Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something? · Posted by u/paulwilsonn
When I was ~14 I open sourced a script to autoconfigure X11's xrandr. It was pretty lousy, had several bugs. I mentioned it on a KDE mailing list and a KDE core contributor told me it was embarrassing code and to kill myself. I took it pretty hard and didn't contribute to KDE or X11 ever again, probably took me about a year to build up the desire to code again.
Everything else I've open-sourced has gone pretty well, comparatively.
And people wonder why Codes of Conduct became popular...
Those with any form of power in very large measure (money, fame, political power, influence) ought not to be trusted implicitly.
