Going to guess she spent as much time showing her son love as she did making this sign. Which is to say: she phoned it in and assumed the least she could do would be the most anyone would ever need.

no, i didn't ask that, because i already know that it can. why wouldn't you research this BEFORE you released the tool? why would you publish a blog post advertising the tool that shows how it characterizes a union strike as a "risky protest"?

You also asked: "Can this be used against unions organizing protests against their company?" This is not a use case we have seen. We are going to do more research next week and determine if organizations rely on news and journalists to discover strikes.

it's wild to release a blog post advertising the surveillance potential of the Strikebreak Union Bust-O-Matic 3000 and then say you're sorry for the "mistakes in the announcement" and that everyone just misunderstood what you were trying to build

This is *such* a tell. The beauty of Twitter (and of blogging for that matter) was that random interesting things might be elevated, might *become* popular. It is not a how-cool-am-I popularity contest.

Just look at the vision for the experience of pedestrians crossing Hammersmith Bridge. 🤢 It’s dystopian. You have to be a serious car fetishist with no concerns about climate or clean air to support this proposal.

Ive said it before, I’ll say it again: actors, start adding clauses to your contracts that fight dialogue you did not sign off on being put in your mouth. They’ll make it seem innocuous, even helpful in vids like this, but it can be used maliciously. You’re more than avatars. twitter.com/flawlessai/sta…

In software engineering I tend to have a rule that if a lot of your senior engineers don’t buy into an practice, pattern or tool, you should reflect over forcing it. They’re smart people who are probably not resistant for fun, but because they don’t see the benefits you do. There may be a couple of ways to shift the debate if after reflection you think it is still important to drive the idea.

The difference between nil and empty slices are a common point of confusion for newbies to Go. This post discusses how they differ and when to use each one.

No shit, sherlock. What’s not common is asking engineers to work on an “open source” repo which can only be used by a single, for-profit company.
