I had a longer response, but deleted it, because ultimately it comes down to: I view all people to have inherantly equal value. The article implies something else.

Seriously, try reading the original article but do a reversal test on it. For example, imagine that a similar article was written in the 1960s by a business man concerned about the rise of feminism. Are we really going to just keep repeatin

Not sure if that's an effective way to get change: categorize and denigrate a large number of people by using offensive stereotypes in an attempt to get others to hate them.

Thanks, could someone give some clarity? The link to the details is 404. But, I found an old version on archive.org. https://web.archive.org/web/20240516075853/https://www.sss.g... Seems to suggest that

Yes, for sure I deserve downvotes for the above. Those types of comments should be downvoted. However, I needed to post it to point out that I got the -10 well before the comment above. I never experienced that before and thought it interes

Actually it's funny you mention Bill Hicks. I didn't even know who he was. Or Alex Jones. That claim was one of the more absurd ones I discovered. But, given everything else I learned over the past year, who f'n knows at this

I love how you guys downvote all the old comments to make them hidden from search. My no-name account rarely gets downvoted. But, within 20 minutes of posting this, I drop 10 points. Rando accounts

Except that it pointed at original sources, like reference manuals, archival documents, published newspaper articles, magazine articles, etc. - a lot still available on archive.org. Good try with your 16 day old account. And, why would anyo

When I signed up, I accidently paid for a full year. So from time to time, I'll throw it something just to see what it produces compared to the other LLMs. And, even after all this time, it still feels like a really "dumb" mo

This article says git was designed for distributed version control. Then says git doesn't work for most distributed projects because there isn't high trust. But, I'm puzzled why people would still want to build software with

We’re probably more aligned than not. Within a 40 mile radius, there are a few small towns < 100k, but the rest is low density rural. Unfortunately at the edge there is high density, and skews the average.

A lot of people have reached a point where asylum and family reunification aren't high priorities anymore. Over the past 30 years, developed nations have helped 1.5 Billion people get out of extreme poverty. That's huge! But, now

625 persons per square mile sounds pretty nice. Where I live is about 3000 per square mile, and the county is about 750 per square mile. And, it's a pleasant Human-scale density.

I can't access the article, but I'm curious how the US spending $25B on equipment has dramatically affected the price of circuit boards.

Why? Kids have had access to the internet for over 30 years. What is the tiktok brainwashing (I don't use it), and how do you qualify the danger of it from say google news brainwashing, or even (gasp) public school brainwashing? I mean

It's framed as being only for social media. But, really, it's about network access. Without network access, it's difficult to thrive in the modern world. Are you not alarmed at the possibility that a person's network acc

That's the issue. Most Americans don't want the entire population of India to be in San Diego. To some of us, San Diego is one of the best areas in the country. Why destroy it?
