Strong article so far, I'm still reading, but I found it rather jarring to have a cartoon in the middle with a white couple cherishing a baby and a black woman killing one...
- gsich 3y ago"killing"
- jonathanstrange 3y agoIt's a weird an uninformative illustration.
- TomSwirly 3y agoIf this were a photo, would you expect the infant launched high in the air like a basketball to survive?
- code_sloth 3y agoDo you expect all memes and jokes to be absolutely harmless and 100% politically correct for every nation/culture/race/gender/<group>?
- pasc1878 3y agoWhen doing technical or business work - YES If for entertainment then things can be unsettling or tuned to one group.
- pasc1878 3y agoI really do not want to work with the person(s) who downvoted this. These sort of 'jokes' are part of what makes a hostile work environment.
- kreetx 3y agoLuckily, this is an internet forum and you don't actually need work with that person.
- csunbird 3y ago> I really do not want to work with the person(s) who downvoted this. These sort of 'jokes' are part of what makes a hostile work environment. So does oversensitivity and overreactions.
- pasc1878 3y agoYou might ask a lot of people in minorities etc if this is an overreaction to "banter". I have not been on the end of this being a white male.
- TomSwirly 3y agoI expect memes not to be blatantly racist, particularly when they are attached to a technical article.
- gsich 3y agoIt's only racist if you are a racist. You brought up skin color where it doesn't matter. Work on yourself.

- baby 3y agoMaybe you’re the only one that saw race in this picture
- TomSwirly 3y agoI'm confused. Is it your claim that the brown woman throwing the brown baby like a basketball is white?
- gotbeans 3y agoWhat he is saying is he didn't pay attention to that detail, for one reason or another.

- TomSwirly 3y agoIt would be very, very hard to come up with a lower effort comment than yours

- creatonez 3y agoIt seems rather likely it was adapted from what was originally a racist meme format, but I doubt the author is aware of that or made a conscious decision to depict it like that. Memes often get adapted with so many edits that their original meaning vanishes. I'm glad we can plagiarize Stonetoss to make positive edits.
- assimpleaspossi 3y agoWhy is there always someone who needs to read things in like this where nothing exists?
- actionfromafar 3y agoIt's somehow very funny to me that we are talking about data transfer (QUIC) but that what happens at "level 8" of the OSI stack can also be complicated depending on what system level 8 runs.
- animesh371g 3y agoThere is no Level 8 as such. Everything happens at the application level i.e Level 7.
- bandedetrappes 3y agoLevel 8 is a joking way of designating the user. Also refered as "the layer between the keyboard and the screen".
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoBetween keyboard and chair, surely?
- flumpcakes 3y agoPEBCAK, "Problem exists between chair and keyboard"
- flumpcakes 3y agoI think they meant the person and who they are as "level 8". In other words, if you have this communication protocol, when it reaches level 8 the message might not be delivered or be misinterpreted based on the person. For example in this thread with some people seeing this as racist, some people see it as nothing.
- Washuu 3y agoIt is the Baby Yeet meme/Woman Throws a Baby comic by Joan Cornellà. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/baby-yeet https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/baby-yeet
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoThat stood out to me as well. I am familiar with the meme, but it is pretty jarring without that prior knowledge. If one of my reports published this under their name we would be having a few words.
- daneel_w 3y agoGive it a rest. Give us a rest. Don't use tech forums to announce your absurd racial virtue-signaling.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoI didn't know fox news had a HN account.
- daneel_w 3y ago"ThEy DoN't sHaRe My SeNtImEnTs So tHeY mUsT Be A RiGhT-WiNgEr." Also don't use tech forums to sling around petty insults.
