That's a shame, she only needed to add "lived experience" and "mansplaining" for me to fill in my "woke bigot weaponising her race and gender to shut down a valid discussion" bingo sheet.
There's so much context missing here. What did she post on Google Brain? What were the demands she made to Google? Are these in the public domain? (If they're not public then I imagine they'll be leaked eventually if…
I was curious so I looked it up. According to Timnit Gebru's Wikipedia page she was born in Ethiopia but her parents are from Eritrea. I can't find it again but I saw something somewhere about "Timnit" meaning "wish" in…
Well whether or not Reagan's strategy of "we win, they lose" was the cause, what's beyond dispute is that America won and the Soviets lost. To which I say, thank fucking God.
The fact that you are able to make this claim online (even anonymously) without any fear for your personal safety instantly proves that your claim is false.
You obviously don't know much about what China is up to if you don't think that description applies to China.
Have you ever spent significant time outside the US?
Those "concentration camps" (a ridiculous misuse of the term) only exist because people of all colors from all across the world are clamoring to move to the US for a better life. Someone had better get them the memo…

Well that's a ray of good news. My wife works for a huge social media company that you've definitely heard of, and some of her higher-ups have told her they're worried that the rise of employee activism is going to tear…
I know many people will find your comment alarmist and hyperbolic, but you're understating it. I follow this issue closely and some of the crap that's being fed to schoolchildren in the US at the moment is jaw-dropping.…
Many women feel uncomfortable using gender-neutral bathrooms alongside men, for reasons that have nothing to do with transphobia.
This is what I love about Hacker News - it's the only forum I've ever read where the topic of discussion frequently shows up in the comments. Brian, I've never given two shits about crypto, but this announcement…
