> As for _why, there is nothing special about him

That sounds patently false to me considering we're still talking about him almost 20 years after his flagship work was published.

Minimizing _why because of a tired, narrow-minded focus on identity politics seems disingenuous and like a missed opportunity to learn

That's because the rest of them are working in other fields (combination coffee bars, thrift stores and barber shops.) I am proposing hiring them as tech writers instead.

Also, I don't think identity politics particularly have anything to do with it. (Japanese people are even more hipster than Portlanders and of course invented Ruby, so you could probably find some of them too for diversity. The aesthetic would be different though because of cultural differences.)

Only issue with that thesis is that HN hates 100% of the things that it comes across.

It was part of the keynote how it can integrate with Magic Mouse/Keyboard and presumably other bluetooth accessories

That's a great approach and I'd also be curious to know if somebody has paid you, my immediate guess would be "no" - but you never know

I don't feel sorry for Google, nor the big amounts of PR nonsense they're putting out there in order to try to spin their being too slow to move LLM tech to the side of the consumer. Get better or get out.

Australia's always been a bit icky when it comes to digital rights and censorship, but this just takes it over the top.

You clearly have no point to make.

What a horrible, horrible take.

There's that insecurity thing he was talking about.

You admitted previously that there's companies with remote cultures that are tremendously successful. By definition of their very existence, they have replaced "face time with online" - which you claim can't happen.
