I've often heard people claiming that twitter/facebook/etc. can be considered public forums .. and as much of a stretch as it is, I'm inclined to agree. This is where people get their news. It is kind of like to taking a

Your comment sounds overly sympathetic. I'm not sure if blaming US actions for China's social loss is fair. Bills to pay, kids to feed -- is that the responsibility of the US government? Without a doubt China is not the most innoc

That's always been on my mind but the stars haven't aligned. Perhaps in the future, when the right opportunity arises.

Interesting take. I appreciate the perspective. Maybe I just need a new work environment. I miss working with smart, driven people. Thanks for your thoughts, this is therapy for me.

This really resonates with me. I'm becoming jaded as well. My most hated thing about the industry: the amount of people who do not give a shit. These people try to do the least amount of work possible. They actively try to stretch a d

Partisanship has leaked into this thread.. What if the tables were turned? As a non-American, it disappoints me to read some of these comments. Defending your side at all costs. I wish there was more balanced comments, acknowledging points

Well said! Makes me think about the scope of tribalism before the internet. Without a doubt there was some, perhaps to a lesser degree though? I think certain views/opinions were more privately kept, perhaps shared with family members

Calling into question fact checkers is a good thing, skeptics should be welcomed. But I suppose there is a subjective line between reasonable skepticism and near-schizophrenic skepticism.

Yes you said "I'm not saying your overall point is incorrect" and then questioned a source for a specific point. That created some ambiguity in my head. Perhaps you disagreed with that specific point? Perhaps you were calli

That would make for an interesting youtube video! Realistically you could get actors to read the lines. Although the text that someone wrote could be orally said in many different ways; it might be challenging to accurately portray the conv

Reminds me of a study done where a test was given with questions that weren't difficult but likely to make a silly error. Around 85% of participants got at least one question wrong, but when they repeated the same test with a difficult

I get tired of seeing these comments too. In the last few years it has become commonspeak to throw around these terms with no nuance. Strawmanning is a new favorite word for many. I sometimes shudder at the pretentiousness of it all (for so

Happy to see people think for themselves and form their own opinion. Good balance in your comment. You left room for doubt and rationally stated the reasons behind your opinion. Refreshing. Thank you.

Even the basics of the redesign have issues. To the point that I would honestly quit reddit if they didn't have old.reddit. Simple things like, not showing me the entire thread and forcing me to like "View Entire Discussion"

I agree with you 100% The larger issue is that Jeff's subordinates will then treat their subordinates in the same way. If this becomes common, it will extend to other behavior or communication. This will result in horrible company cult

You are absolutely right. My mistake, poor choice of words. I was speaking to the loss of public information that came from hard work from many individuals. It's like the loss of many academic papers and studies. Gotta start back from

From the perspective of a historian or archaeologist, it is a shame that things are forgotten. If the data that is being saved is not tied to your personal name then I would prefer that it is archived forever. Not only for the purposes of a

The compiler does a lot of optimizing, including inlining function calls so that they do not have overhead. My opinion is to favour readable and maintainable code. If there is a performance issue, then profile it, measure and then optimize.
