Why does every software company's web site include a chatbot? And why does that chatbot ping audibly on every single page?
Has anyone in the history of ever wanted to talk to the damn chatbot?

So apparently today we rediscover the Streisand effect. Cool.
I hate to burst folks' bubble but it's completely legal in CA to retain employees on payroll with no assigned work duties (or email or building access) for the WARN period. In effect, WARN is a minimum severance amount, paid thru your regular paychecks. This isn't a gotcha.

Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me):
CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.
A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.
I know you didn't get that notice.

Instead of paying $8 a month for a vanity star, a one time payment of $9.72 will deliver the same lesson, with better illustrations.
So I turned off the filter & started unsubscribing manually from and realized 99% of these emails are sent via .
Digging around I discovered their secret page that will add you to their global blocklist, which you should definitely use:

First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden.

This only started happening to me after I donated to some 2020 campaigns. Now my email and sms are both relentless spam. I don't want to donate to *any* Dems any more since I know that will just make it even worse.
Quote Tweet
Dems, PLEASE let me unsubscribe from all text outreach lists in one fell swoop. These texts do nothing but annoy the crap out of me. I’m not going to donate based on an SMS message, and I’m also not reading your wall of text. twitter.com/karlitaliliana…

The story I was always told is that my great grandfather came to Ellis Island on someone else's passport, which was then smuggled back into Russia for someone else in the shtetyl to use next.

And if you're someone who romanticizes the pluck and bravery of your own immigrant ancestors, leaving familiar homelands to make a better life in America, but castigate contemporary immigrants with precisely the same motivation you might want to consider why that is.

I frequently get sms spam addressed to "Monique" and I don't understand it; often enough that this is clearly on a list somewhere. But I've had this number for 22 years! Practically antediluvian in cell phone terms. I'm not mad really, just... Puzzled?
"Collaborative" robots - detectors for human contact, and max pressures that humans can escape - are well-established. Chess pieces are light and easily manipulated by such robots.
Incredibly irresponsible engineering to use an industrial robot in this application instead.

Which sites do you rely on to understand programming language features? (besides stackoverflow)
cppreference.com is authoritative but feels aimed more at c++ implementers, not users.
Search otherwise seems captured by "geeksforgeeks", w3schools, and other SEO spam.

So BeReal seems to send its entire net a push not. at the same time to prompt you to take+upload a pic. How does this work at scale?
When small you can prescale your AWS footprint 1000x at T-15 and scale it down 30m later. But if you are successful... Then what?

Your reliability is plummeting.

Wtf , why don't I watch a driver come from 3mi away to pick me up only to see the app then start searching to assign me a new driver (and failing)? What was wrong with the last one you sent?
Why does this happen in SF 1/2 the times I try to use your app?

I don't mind downloading an app that I need to use once to get into an event or whatever, but it *really* in no way means I wanted to be on your mailing list.
Just let me do the thing I need to in peace.

I think there's perhaps been some confusion regarding transmissibility vs immune escape in Omicron. The apparent rapid increase in frequency of Omicron in Gauteng does not mean that Omicron is necessarily more intrinsically transmissible than Delta. 1/15

People turning onto a one-way here for years have made 14th a little madcap.
Your supervisor can fix this! I sent an email with some photos of the existing signs, they fwd'd to the right people, and it was addressed within 3 months.
