> that the richest and most powerful members of our society have no problem hanging out with a convicted child sex trafficker.

In most cases a lot more than simply "hanging out".


> Can someone in GitHub senior leadership please start paying attention and reprioritise towards actually delivering a product that's at least relatively reliable?

They claim that is what they are doing right now. [1]

Zero indication that migrating to azure will improve stability over the colos they are in now. The outages aren’t caused by the datacenter, whatever MS execs say.

Wasn't the last one even caused by Azure?

The problem with the GH front end being an unbelievably bloated mess will not be even slightly improved by moving to Azure.

"Migrating to Azure" is, unfortunately, often the opposite of "delivering a reliable product".

Maybe to distract from the story that they use remote drivers after one of their cars hit a kid? [1]

edit: fixed kill -> hit


The child did not die, and suffered only minor injuries: https://abc7.com/post/california-teamsters-call-suspension-w...

Under the same circumstances (kid suddenly emerging between two parked cars and running out onto the street), it could be debated that the outcome could have been worse if a human were driving.


It’s awful a child was hit, but they only suffered minor injuries [1]. Nowhere in your linked article does it say they were killed.

I don't know about the remote driver conspiracy, but waymo slowing down and that kid surviving a crash after jumping on the road from behind a tall vehicle was the best PR waymo could have asked for.

The man that is friends with a bunch of pedophiles owns a website that is becoming known for generating CSAM? What are the chances?


> but this is much more to do with Microsoft very publically firing the QA department[0][1] as a cost savings measure and claiming developers will do their own QA (long before LLMs were on the scene). It started in 2014 and the trickle never stopped.

We know this was the correct move because Microsoft's stock price has gone up tremendously since 2014, those in the c-suite received massive bonuses and the worlds most efficient system for resource allocation has deemed it so.


Fortunately my Amazon branded subcutaneous chip still works at Wholefoods.


> My understanding is there was a bug that let you wipe and re-enable a phone that had been disabled due to theft. This prevents a downgrade attack.

This makes sense and much less dystopia than some of the other commenters are suggesting.


That's even more dystopian.


> I can’t afford healthcare or electricity, and ICE just abducted my neighbor. But at least I no longer have to see plaques that mention slavery when I visit national landmarks.


> how little shame people apparently have

You can expand this sentiment to everyday life. The things some people are willing to say and do in public is a never ending supply of surprising.
