Okay. Still doesn't change anything. Stack Overflow has officially made plenty of official announcements on political issues that I oppose, despite being an active user.

While I agree with you, the complaint of the particular critic you're replying to isn't even about the contents of the site. It's that some of Gab's staff have, individually, said bigoted things. Even assuming that&#x2

Something else that's not obvious to me: why does the fountain have to be next to a wall?
156.
by XCabbage 8y ago
Huh. Given that the first 6 minutes (out of 7:15 total) were spent with a HUMAN player fumbling around looking for a fountain, presumably writing an AI capable of doing that step would get the ascension time down to just over a minute. I wo

Sure, it's obvious madness, and it's hard to believe that anyone who says it (or quotes it approvingly) could really believe it. But that's basically what I expect out of any feminist commentary on any topic. The entire space

No, that's not what it means to "interlope" (the original author's word choice). It means to intrude in a space where you are not supposed to be.

More obnoxious than the "gender bias" claim is the idea that because computer science as a field owes its entire existence to female pioneers (leaving aside whether there's any sane sense in which that's true), men who n

The behaviour that your co-workers claim Google engaged in sounds pretty exactly like the AMD-Intel antitrust case where AMD alleged that Intel's C compiler was deliberately crippling performance on AMD processors to help Intel's

Eep. I agree that that's a bad look. I also like the way that in one event handler in that file they check for the existence of stopImmediatePropagation before calling it and if it's not there they fall back `cancelBubble = true`

It's impossible to judge from the information in the article whether this is an absurd and unjustifiable waste of money or not. It doesn't tell us anything about the requirements, only that the project was to build "a website

In what way is government-mandated censorship and falsification of history "the opposite of totalitarian"?

I think your interpretation is correct. In particular, I think that your first two quotes from the text are saying that the "personal or household" user themselves has no obligations under the GDPR. It's coherent to include

In what sense do you think I'm being hyperbolic? I'm pretty sure I mean every word of what I wrote literally. (Though perhaps "authoritarian" would be a better choice of word than "totalitarian"; I mean it only

by XCabbage 8y ago
I think part of the issue here is that a plain English reading of the GDPR implies such appalling totalitarian overreach that most people find it hard to believe that it can really be what's meant. I mean, you've just agreed with

Why shouldn't I, if the strip club bill was racked up for business purposes? My employer doesn't expect me to take clients to strip clubs, but if they did, I'd damn well expect to be allowed to expense them.

by XCabbage 8y ago
Maybe I'm more cynical, but I presume that the AI just looked at the strip club receipt, identified as a strip club because the submitter had made no attempt to hide that fact, then determined that according to some official company

None of the examples "clearly list" this. All of them permit this interpretation, but it's far from clear.
