That is also the case for many of the products on the Google killed by lists.

What if you want someone to look at a portion of it but they don't know enough to approve the whole thing. They give +1

Someone else knows the other portion well and sees the +1 and decides to +2.

In practice this ends the stalemate where partial owners don't feel confident to approve the whole thing

The PR needs to have someone who knows the whole thing.

Having several people review each separate parts but not understanding the others' can cause interaction bugs. If such bugs cannot happen (say, due to modularity, or type safety guarantees etc), then it won't be the case where you need to have a partial approve.

I am not a fan of partial approve. Either you think the code is approvable, or it isn't.

Domains of expertise are a thing. E.g. Google had "readability" which was the code style and opinioned language expertise that one person might have even without the deep system knowledge for a PR.

You can require approvals from N domains from (potentially) different people.

Maybe not great for the intended use case but guessing 28g of carbs for a 40g sandwich seems pretty close to me, particularly without knowing the dimensions of the bread etc

There isn't exactly a surplus of jobs today. While some may have this option, many do not.

At this point, Meta's opinion on privacy has been widely known for decades. Working for Meta is a personal choice. There is no excuse.

^ this! Ever since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, people who decide to work there make the statement that they are ok with it. Same with Palantir, X, Grok, Tesla etc

Yes. It's worth pointing out that the Cambridge Analytica scandal was in 2016 - that's 10 years ago! At that point, FB resp. Zuckerberg already had a bad reputation.

That argument doesn't really fly for some of the most highly paid people in the world with at least one really big name on their CVs.

Everyone working at Meta has more options than almost anyone else.

Exactly, these are highly-paid professionals with very broadly applicable skills. They have the means to uphold professional values.

That's a good point. The crux is privacy or half your salary.

Poor Meta employees. They are victims of the oppressive job market and are left no other option than to work for 100s of thousands of dollars per year in well-lit and comfortable offices with free food and premium healthcare.

Anyone who could get a job at meta has other options, I think this is why people are so confident criticizing. Outside of the obvious (and correct!) hypocrisy angle, I think this would be an altogether different issue if it were for grocery store workers, retail employees, etc. (or for a much more real example, Amazon warehouse workers) Those groups really might not have other real options.

But I was only following orders!

Eh - if you have Meta on your resume it's not that tough out there right now.

TBH if I see "late Meta" or "post-Musk Twitter/X" on a resume it gets filed as "low morals / low trust".

I understand that but trust me plenty of jobs, especially at other larger shops, do not do that.

Anyone working for Meta could have chosen to work elsewhere. You have other options (that might not pay $350 grand, but hey, that's the price of your soul)

Is this really the case though? Currently it appears to benefiting a small few and there is not much reason to think it will change going forward.

If 95% of jobs go away, the destabilization leads to violent conflicts, and power and wealth become more centralized does it really matter if we have better healthcare or automated cars? Will people have purpose in their lives? Will this be a better world for most?

Ads make total sense for a non-profit

Zug zug

I’m convinced “zug zug” is a reference to a scene from the 1981 movie /Caveman/[1].

This equivalent to over 600 years of pay for the whole company. Absolutely insane.

There is no way this name sticks. I thought it was from anthropic at first

Another word for it is corruption
