Haha nice ! Your bad attempts to doxx me are nice. Are you tweeting in favor of Amazon too ?
It took a pandemic for Amazon's perks to be equal to other companies lol. Just go to blind and see how every Amazon employee bitches and moans about the perks at Amazon. Even at your "concert" people were allowed "2 sodas" lol. Nice.
Flamewars like this are obviously not what HN is for. Since you've done this before and have a long history of violating the site guidelines and ignoring a shocking number of moderation requests to stop, I've banned this account.

Someone always misses the memo in a large organization.
We have had two cases where a system was replaced with company-wide announcements and we received questions about where its predecessor went over a year later.
They do though, they pay me around $180 a month for an unlimited transit card (that I can’t use) and a transit debit card for Uber (that is currently capped because I also cannot use it). For most other folks that pays for parking.
I genuinely don't understand why a wanted criminal, famous socialite and multimillionaire thought (at the time) to be in hiding outside the country and known by nearly everyone would spend her time posting links to Reddit accruing millions of comment karma. It straight up does not make sense, and neither does whatever relationship that has to what just happened. It's a total non-sequitur.
It doesn't help matters that they were fairly well known as power user even before [0]. It's the lowest and least creative form of conspiracy theories - really superficial pattern recognition.

Did you know that Donald Trump had a Twitter account?
The obvious answer is they probably didn't, this is probably a pseudo QAnon/Pizzagate conspiracy theory where people were "censored" for the harassment of a random person.
Big testing ground for the Navy. SD has a large naval base. If you wanted to prank/spook/spy on the USN there would be few better locations to pick from.
And, we're only going to hear of events that were seen. Even if the locations of events were random, we simply would be more capable of spotting ones that happen in that area
> is the naval presence there unique compared to other regions
Yes, the Navy operates two of the channel islands which are both relatively large. They each have a sizeable runway, plenty of radar, etc. A lot of training activities seem to occur in that area too.
I'm becoming convinced by the idea that meritocracy itself is bad and a terrible way to organize society. But perhaps I'm biased by being a failure in the meritocratic system.
It's hard for me to imagine someone not being meritocratic. You would really, in your deepest heart of hearts, be sincerely ambivalent about whether your, say, dangerous surgery was done by the best surgeon in the country vs the lousiest? And if we say yes we would prefer the more meritorious one for that job, why not extend it to virtually every job?
Have you not heard of the caste system? We in India created an entire social order and religion based on keeping high quality jobs for a certain group of people based on identity and lineage. And karma was the justification given to lower caste people for why they got such a bad deal in the current life.
And this might be getting a little personal, but just read that person's username. Acharya is a common Brahmin title, so I'm not very surprised that he thinks this way.
Honestly, anybody that passes a certain bar is probably fine for me. We already have that with medical licensing, board exams, residency matching, etc. If anything we could probably loosen the bar, since residency spots are artificially scarce because of the residency cap.
To be perfectly clear, I don't dispute ability exists - I just don't think that should be the ideal organizing philosophy for society.
I am becoming convinced by the idea that democracy itself is a bad and a terrible way to organize government. But I am also at losses for a less bad way. In similarities, I am at losses for a less bad than meritocracy. I am listening to hear more other options but am not hear any less bad.
Regarding 2, why is it better to select on non-genetic traits? Those traits would be determined by the environment, which doesn't feel any more fair to me to judge on, and in general seems like something we try to avoid (i.e. we do not want rich kids to do well purely because they grew up with better resources).
I'm genuinely asking because I have no clue what people want "merit" to mean. I always assumed the entire point was to remove environmental factors (to varying degrees).
I don't think merit should focus on traits, I think merit should focus on effort. Though the problem with that is that traits can be a multiplier for effort.
I don't know what merit should really mean though. It seems like there will always be some sort of hierarchy in society, so I guess defining what constitutes merit is a pick-your-poison kind of situation.
That's around my line of thinking, pure meritocracy is both too subjective and far too harsh to the people who aren't in the lucky egg club, especially in increasingly global winner take all games (an inevitable consequence of globalization).
I'm a failure by meritocracy by nature of losing at all of the tests we use to judge success and merit - test scores, elite school admission, elite institutions etc.
Why the feeling of failure then ? There is nothing there that is not in your company now. You are not a graded apple to be sold at a store. If you are intelligent you will recognize these are human constructs, and nature/problems don’t recognize your degree - they are available for everyone
In general, 9P2000 is simple and fairly elegant. If you don't need POSIX semantics (and fs metadata), it's really quite simple to implement. For a bit more cost in terms of complexity you can go for 9P2000.u which makes things POSIXy enough if you've got a single client (as you do with VM -> host). This is great if you want to provide virtual filesystems, either proxied from the host or backed by something more exotic. In addition to QEMU, the gVisor folks (https://gvisor.dev/) have made heavy use of 9P (with enhancements) for similar reasons (in addition to Google being generally populated with Plan 9 aficionados).
Then, there's 9P2000.L... This has that "let's just take the filesystem vtable and export it as a protocol" flavor. This works well enough on Linux if you're just looking to translate the calls over into syscalls. I wouldn't recommend implementing a bespoke server for it, though. You're better off just implementing things with FUSE.
