Then you shouldn't use qualifiers such as 'poor' to describe their risk assessment. Don't give the idiots pushing anti-masking rhetoric in this forum more wind than they deserve by propagating their memes.
Why 'poor'? Have you factored in everything going on that person's life? Do you know if they have a friend or relative who might be at higher risk? What if they have a young kid and they don't want to risk it? What if…
Meh, the outrage crowd in Hacker News is ridiculous. Any level of effort to make a company more inclusive as criticized as the company being 'too woke'. Meanwhile, Google's market cap has exploded in recent years. Lots…
The changes can be explained by two simple factors, without the need for some grand nefarious conspiracy: * The CDC's default position is caution * We know more now than we did in the past In February, we realized…
This seems like a very arbitrary and capricious partition between those doing something for 'clout' and those doing it because they can't help themselves. Do you think the people now being attacked in this thread…
While you might not be calling for ostracizing the cancellers, plenty of people out there are calling for exactly that. There's a number of terms being used ('SJW', 'woke', 'cancel culture', 'cultural Marxism', etc.) to…
I'm always curious about this line of thinking. What exactly do you think people are gaining by - say - denouncing sexism or other kinds of awful behavior? What's so wolfish about that?
Django is optimizing for the 99.99% of people rather than the 0.01% of people who manage billions of rows on a single table. I like SQLAchemy, but for most people the added cost of managing connections, transactions,…
Name a single example of someone who has been 'canceled' for fourth degree associations with white supremacists?
Except for - you know - the Capitol Police officer that got killed. Other than that, a perfectly peaceful protest.
Nice that you chose to focus on that and not on the police officer that got killed or the video of another police officer that for almost crushed to death while being repeatedly punched in the face. One would be…
Yep, as ‘delusional’ as all the warnings from people who said Trump and his group of psychopaths were going to end up causing a violent attack on democracy... that clearly was an overblown concern, right?
So your argument is that the violence would've been justified if they had managed to pull the coup. Got it.
It's a trope at this point, but when BLM protested in Washington, there were hundreds of National Guardsmen guarding the entrance. When Trump's supporters broke in, the Capitol Police didn't do anything until one of…
It will. Plenty of people in my own family who've been Trump staunch Trump supporters through thick and thin were appalled by what happened on Wednesday. If the Republicans want to heal the country, they have to…
I keep hearing this argument, to which I have to answer: at no point, ever, in 2020 or 2021 did the other side - which you are trying to equate with Trump - organize an attack on the United States Congress while the…
The only chance in hell this country has of surviving is if Republicans widely condemn Trump's behavior and make an example of other agitators like Rudy Giuliani and Alex Jones who whipped these people into a frenzy. If…
As I understand it, they are essentially very different technologies. GraphQL focuses on providing a DSL for requesting subsets of data from a web endpoint that "talks" JSON. gRPC-Web is just a wrapper around gRPC so…
A quick description of the modern Linux boot sequence: 1) Press power 2) Get motherboard/manufacturer logo 3) Switch to a text-based Grub interface 4) Actual Linux kernel starts booting, sometimes flashing some text,…
Oh man, yeah... we have literal Nazis rallying with the tacit approval of the president (BTW, using the same anti-Semitic rhetoric you mention), but Antifa are the Nazis now. WOW, the cognitive dissonance is so strong,…
But somehow you don't consider being "anti-Islam" (read: anti-Muslim, because people with that set of prejudices is not going to be threading too thin) racist?
This has some examples: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/53d5xb/what-is-rt... Every time I've been to that subreddit, it only takes perusing the comments for 5 minutes to find way worse stuff. From people…
Maybe, just maybe, it's because the "far left" subreddit doesn't have content calling for ethnic cleansing? Just saying.
> The concerted effort by the pro-censorship crowd to exploit nazis to promote censorship is rather worrying. This, right here, is a straw-man that I've seen repeated countless times. I am not pro-censorship, but I'm…
Damn, I downvoted by accident. Also count on my vote for a black bar.
