Same -- I changed jobs since lockdown started, I work for a company now that was 100% remote before all this started. I've actually moved halfway across the country and... yeah, other than now I pay state income tax, nothing has changed for me. I have an office, that's technically a change, I guess.

Another fun comparison is to watch Seven Samurai, then watch The Magnificent Seven.

New York has a similar thing about to take effect, as well.

Someone just made this up so that they could get it away from their kid, didn't they?

I jest, but that would be funny.

For sure! I happened to come across it by accident while watching the first version.

Not just this, it's AH. Not... terrible, but super hype-y from what I've seen.

Yeah, I realize that these are extremes of it, but when the faces of the movement are overwhelmingly awful people, it's a problem.

Do you want Reavers? Because this is how you get gorram Reavers.

There's a portion of the EA movement that uses their beliefs to justify whatever it takes to make as much money as possible so they can donate more. SBF was in this camp, for example.

It's modern-day secular indulgences for a lot of people -- it doesn't matter how much harm you've really done, so long as you are effectively helping people.

There is also a lot of issue with how they figure out what's most effective.

Well. Damn. This helped me out, thanks.

The bulk of heavy users are on third party apps, most likely.

 

I'm looking to learn to build things for iOS. I already know other languages besides Swift, but I'd really like to have a structured path for this. Any recommendations?
