I don't think I overstated it. Tech workers is a small piece of the global population.

You've posted this several times, and I think it represents a pretty narrow understanding of humans. Like, gender clearly and obviously exists. Why do women wear make up and skirts, while men typically dont? Is there a biological nee

Are there tech workers who don't know what HN is? It's a pretty reasonably sized social media site.

Is this some sort of weird justification? Are you under the mistaken impression that a) I think Hamas is good; or b) that using rape to "punish" rape is good? There's no acceptable use of rape. And "but they did it first

Reading this, whats even more shocking to me is that he thought he was talking to a conscious being and his first thought was, "I bet I can use them to make money."

Israel has recently invaded Lebanon, started a regional war with Iran, and has been recognized as committing genocide in Gaza. The UN believes the IDF uses rape as a matter of policy and has published a report with quite a bit of evidence.

Sure. But if we took care of everyone, we'd need less individual effort to secure futures for children. Because the community has broad responsibility for that.

I've long held that open source is one of the world's biggest anarchist experiments. Anarchism, as understood by the likes of Kropotkin, largely believed that we can self organize towards working for the wellbeing of all, that s s

That might be true! But I don't think anyone in this story did that.

Attack? Did we read the same one article? One article is clearly defensive. The other is a piece of investigative journalism about who and how the site is run. Neither of those is an attack.

They have posted twice in four years. Once doing some digging into who runs archive today, and a second time to respond to a ddos attack. Writing about being ddos'd seems eminently reasonable. So if you elide that, you are talking abou

Plenty of people (not tons, but many) experience loss of neurons through injury, disease, or aging. We generally consider the person to be the same person, even if their personality changes. Likewise, as you grow in childhood, you create ma

Using your fork, knife, or spoon to point at a person is absolutely considered rude. Gesturing with utensils likewise (because you can shower others with cast off detritus.) A quick Google search will turn up hundreds of results corroborati

There are good people whose politics I disagree with. If you are using your celebrity status to cause harm to millions on the international stage, systematically attempting to strip their rights, I think it's fair to say they weren&#x2

Disagree? I think it's safe to say that someone who campaigned to ban same sex marriage is more than just disagreeing. He's trying to ruin millions of lives. He was an Obama birther conspiracist. He thought gays shouldn't be

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the claim here is "majority of cops are white supremacists". Thats not the claim. The claim is that it is sensible to assume a cop is. A very different bar. A minority of cops can

by ahhhhnoooo 7mo ago
Your post is essential. No one is claiming 100% of cops are white supremacists. One is claiming that it's sensible to assume they are. If 20% of cops were white supremacists, and I was a minority, it would be sensible to behave as if e

Additionally, vinyl has two sides. So you get this lead in and end track on both sides. The flow is different.

Vinyls are not necessarily the inferior technology. Given the choice, I'd prefer to play vinyl in some cases. In social settings vinyl's short length and need to be flipped creates a dynamic social environment. Someone has to regu

I owned a Model S. It was a nightmare. Sealed poorly, fraying seams, the dashboard crashed regularly. I had a service center refuse to schedule a safety recall unless I paid $400 for a new dashboard monitor. That car is behind me now and I&

The whole point of the article is that yes, both of those are true, and that they are self reinforcing. The crashes consolidate the wealth, the booms increase its power and grow a new crop to harvest. Repeat.

Well there goes Orson Scott Card, Asimov, Heinlein, Orwell, etc. The politics and sexuality were always in these stories. They were just more familiar, so they don't seem as self righteous. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a classic exa

You are correct. Thankfully I never said anything of the sort. I said proteins, plural. The s is a key indicator I was talking about more than one aspect. Milk is about 5% lactose, 3.5% casein (80%) and whey proteins (20%, almost entirely t
