At least HN is a notch above GamerGate
Wow. Ok, I was afraid that this copypasta account was going to bring up "slam-dunk" fallacies to bring me to shame, however woefully misunderstood. Let me spell it out for you - Just because some women happen to…
There's a really good reason for it and it's up to you to figure that part out.
A racist man says: "I'm not racist; I have black friends." Do you see what's wrong with that statement?
"It's about ethics" yet most of the moderators of the subreddit /r/KotakuInAction are also moderators of distinctly misogynstic subreddits http://i.imgur.com/3j7uzXZ.jpg EDIT: You might be taking downvotes too…
I think you might be taking the concept of 'white privilege' too personally.
That's quite a rhetorical leap you just made, there.
oh, please. No one wants to engage with a self-proclaimed martyr.
I like reading this stuff. Sure, I may not use Rust for any real application yet, but it's been teaching me a whole lot on different paradigms than I am used to. I think these articles are great because it pushes…
oh yous guys! When are you three gonna come back to nyc ;)
I wish I could share your optimism about England.
I second what you've said, as I've had the same experiences in dealing with it myself. Adderall is not crack, but other people may abuse it as such. People without the disorder.
huh?
Truly warms my heart to see there is some resonance on HN for the stoics. I came across Epictetus in a particularly low part in my life - it was this particular passage that nailed me - excuse the bad…
Trying to think of analogy here but nothing concrete comes up. The messy thing about this is that the ethnic, cultural and linguistic makeup of Crimea is by majority, Russian. It's something of an foreign-induced…
Crimea is a semi-autonomous region of the Ukraine. They elect their own PM, etc. Russia is still technically invading a sovereign nation, though the line gets smudged somewhat because of Crimea's status.
Imagine if you will a US that is not imperialist; a foreign policy that is one of isolationism. Now imagine Russia as it exists today; expansionist and oligarchical. With no one strong enough to oppose it, how would…
Sorry, but how does the link that to setting up the riots? That's an accusation without any concrete proof.
I don't think the parent commenter was implying that, either. At the face of it, it is simply minor quibbling over details.
The commenter may have implied they were troops of the Russian Army, but did not outright say it. Since these few hundred are mercenaries (might as well call them that, not 'private contractors'), they are still an…
I think the circumstances surrounding the conflict in Kosovo paint a starkly different picture from what's going on in Ukraine.
Check out the media coverage table on pg 34. "Comparing average coverage by private and state media outlets in Figures 1 and 2, we find imbalance in the tone of coverage among both but find it more pronounced among…
Right, I agree to an extent with that assessment. It would, in my mind, be more agreeable to say that the 24 hr news cycle was negligent and in dereliction of their duties as members of the free press to not report the…
