James Watson made many unfounded racist claims that have been completely discredited. The rhetoric surrounding racist pseudoscience mirrors that of the anti-vaccine and climate change denial movements. They point to a discredited "anti

All you've done is restate the original claim without providing evidence that intelligence "doesn't match up" (as you claim) across ethnicities. Generally when pressed, folks who dress up their racism in pseudoscientific

r/sysadmin feels like an authentic slice of the population of sysadmins I've met. A lot of those posts I can almost hear in the voice of various sysadmins I've worked with in each snarky, "I hate my job" post.

HN has a downvote button, but only for those who've engaged on HN for a bit prior to downvoting. It helps prevent abuse.

So, is the thought that the net benefit of Google's anti-competitive behavior related to comparison shopping services in Europe alone is greater than 1% of Alphabets total income over a calendar year?

I totally agree with your sentiment. It's sad that a 2.8 Billion USD fine should be considered a big win against a company, but in a regulatory environment where a 10 million USD fine often makes headlines (and is even more often overt

I mean, I'd agree, but 2.8 Billion is a LOT of money. I'm impressed that the EU is willing to even hammer Google that hard. From what I can tell, Alphabet only ever has ~120 Billion USD on hand at any given point in time. While th

What is the EFF doing that's fashionable and wrong ? Is this just wild speculations as to what's going on?

This attack ad is a triple-down of the governor against a reporter who responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities on a state website that exposed teacher SSNs.

Generally I'd agree. But it is the BBC, and it directly quotes the letter from the US House Judiciary Committee to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, which is the source for this article.

The word "may" here indicates that the facts of the case will need to be decided by US Congress, not the BBC. The fact that Congress is considering "criminal investigation" of Bezos over his testimony is both credible an

Ah yes, the "privileged elite class" consisting of underpaid professors, and the oppressed have finally risen up to turn the power to control speech back over to administrators where that power rightly belongs.

I don't see the irony. If you're pro-mandate, you'll support mandates and oppose bans on mandates. It seems perfectly consistent to me.
