We might be talking about different things then. Or maybe not. You want people in government making long term strategic decisions that steer society. They should be listening to the will of the people as to what direction to steer it. I hop

Are you sure it's actually been used unironically? I've wondered about that, but don't personally know anyone who's used it in any way. Are you on good enough terms with an actual white supremist who has used it unironic

It felt overly authoritarian to me as well, but I think that's part of the point. In all the examples the author did have the authority to say no. In any sort of leadership position you should absolutely take advice and talk to people,

It seems like such as clear cut example of how "bad people" think though. They always considered themselves justified in harming others. Variations of "the golden rule" are common around the world. If you actively decide

I'm always confused when I see these sorts of comments. You're so concerned with ethics, while having no qualms about lying and stealing? Ethics are optional when personal benefit is involved?

My assumption is that Apple exposes an API or page that can validate a gift card. If someone physically sees that card at Target and is then able to poll Apple with the number, that could go a long way towards enabling a scam. All the scamm

> Who makes that decision? In a democracy, the people do, via the government they elect. So, you're proposing people don't form opinions or try to influence opinion? You're just arguing for maintaining the status quo here.

I'm not sure if there's anything 95% of developers are on the same page about. From what I've seen, every company has a different idea of what _best practices_ are. Generally comes down to what some influential developer like

It's more accurate to say you depend on the teaching/explaining talent in addition to code talent. Why is that a problem? I've never heard anything as helpful for learning as the Feynman technique: https://fs.blog&
