With all the love and respect in the world, who do you think you're talking about? Emmet Shear is not trans to my knowledge, (nor, I suspect, his knowledge). If you think this was about Mira Murati, you should really get up to date before telling people off about pronouns.
We have that in Sweden too. As an expat it's a complete nightmare for me from day one. Getting my bank to successfully issue it was impossible.
First, in the days before mobile bank-id, they sent windows-only hardware as I recall. Then came the days of letters/cards/hardware getting lost in the mail.
I gave up on it in the end. I have multiple things (banking-wise) I no longer have online access to because of it.
If you're going to make one system to rule them all you need to make sure the logistics actually work.
It's not unlike the panic buying at the start of the pandemic. The media is driving this hysteria because a) it fits their narrative around brexit, and b) fear & outrage sells.
I don't disagree with what you said, but for context: when these players do speedruns they typically start from 600 ELO and work their way back up to GM, so they face players at every level as part of that 100-game streak.
OVO Energy France & Spain (Kaluza) | Full Stack Developer | London, England | Partially Remote
Join a team building proof-of-concept energy supply businesses in international markets. We integrate with regional grid operators and other third parties (including Kaluza technology platforms) to deliver high-quality customer acquisition channels, operational tooling and experiences for in-life customers.
Right now we are looking for mid-level to senior product & customer-focused engineers who have experience with some subset of: TypeScript, Node, React, GraphQL, Terraform, CloudFormation, CircleCI.
What you can expect:
- An environment where a healthy work-life balance is valued and respected.
- A good deal of ownership (end-to-end) over the things that we build and maintain.
- Support and opportunities to grow and develop professionally, through access to the wider OVO & Kaluza communities and resources.
We are currently (and likely to remain) remote-first, but successful candidates should be able to comfortably visit our London (Notting Hill) engineering offices when useful.
The tokens issued in this case (on of the few) have a purpose which is not speculation. If large amounts of speculation is undermining the business itself then yes I think that might qualify as a form of abuse? Happy to use an alternative term of your choice, ESL etc.
> Investors only care about getting more press releases out so they can pump up the price of their discounted tokens, which have a shortened lockup period relative to something like stocks. It’s almost like a pump-and-dump scheme for investors.
"almost"
If even useful services are being abused for speculation, it's time to realise the entire space is fundamentally broken. We've already seen massive fraud in the space, it's only a matter of time before people who fundamentally don't understand what they are "investing in" are left holding bags. It will necessarily collapse because of how it's being used. (imo)
The complete lack of sense of scale that is on display when making comparisons between either of those and a one-term clown who will go down as a footnote in history is borderline disturbing.
I mean might hope the requirement to provide said meta-analysis would fall on the person making the claim that the criticism is sexist, not on the person saying it might not be?
Just out of interest, what makes you think that nationalising OpenReach would make them deliver a better "customer" experience?
In my personal experience dealing with e.g. HMRC, local councils etc does not offer me much confidence on that front.
The only benefit I can see personally is that there might be less room for error if there's less need for changes as people move in and out of properties.
[edit: On second thought I'll not walk into this minefield of a thread quite this nonchalantly with an "actually".]
The symbol does exist in a certain context of Antifa/ARA imagery, but if you use it in full context it just makes the Trump team look even worse, surprised the media hasn't picked up on this angle yet.

Sounds like you should stop. Obsessing over social media isn't healthy and unless (perhaps even if) you're doing it professionally I very much doubt it's going to bring you value proportional to it's (negative) emotional and psychological impact.
Poor take. There are plenty of good engineering organisations in Europe, just as there are more than enough terrible ones in the US.
That being said I agree I wouldn't want to work somewhere like what was described above. It's certainly not a style of interview I would approve of or conduct myself.
I'm actually not convinced on the surface of it that economies of scale apply to government. It seems to me like the larger the population, the more layers of government required to effectively deploy capital.
If you assumed a similar per capita tax rate, but more government is required to deploy the taxes in a larger nation, the larger nation would presumably end up with less money deployed per capita.
Of course I am neither a social scientist, economist or political scientist.
