Maybe of interest as well is this talk by Kristen Meghan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_P5KWSXZF4 Down vote me into oblivion but at least give these talks an opportunity before doing so.

You're correct that it was a bit of a pontification, but does it not seem like to much of a stretch to say that the more wealth you have the more options you have for entertainment? If you spend a majority of your time stuck at your ho

You can't deny that social welfare programs feed a self enforcing cycle of apathy in some segments of the population that contribute to the ability to remain lazy while still surviving. You are 100% correct that I should have phrased i

Very excellent point, obtaining an education is quite the time investment and humans are definitely more fertile in their early 20s than any other time. I actually had not taken this into consideration...

You both missed the most obvious answer as to why poor people generally have more children; poor people typically have more time on their hands and encounter boredom more frequently, thus they fill this time with intercourse. Couple this wi

Cool, I'm gonna give it a try. You are being a bit deceptive about the size though claiming 9 KB, your minified css file is 54.6 KB and your minified js file is 3.58 KB, for a grand total of 58.18 KB.

I agree, it would be nice to have the Unicode Consortium come out and address these issues.

by bballer 10y ago
Why have a standards body at all if it's just going to be up to the 3rd parties to determine what is going to be displayed then? Like I said before, they should be free to display each unicode item/object artistically how they see

I would operate on the condition that the standard denotes that items representing the unicode can be flavored/styled to the producers desires, but should not misrepresent the item/object being conveyed. A water gun != a pistol an

Is there even logic behind this kinda of change? I just do not get it. It's easy to say that's just Apple shoving PC down their users throats, but what does a representation of a gun and PC have to do with each other? A gun is a r

I had found this as well, but it was marked as flagged and no solid conclusions were drawn from the comments. So I figured I would ask HN instead of trying to link out somewhere (there was no where to link to anyway). Probably should have i

Perfect, thank you! Let's hope that is truly the case.

The act of selecting one candidate for a job over another based on their ethnicity or gender instead of their qualifications and aptitude is literally the definition of racism/sexism. By doing so they are propagating the very thing the

The inverse only works when you are a public figure with greater power/sway than those who enforce rules, ToS, standards et cetera, or if you have an insider track with those who enforce the rules who can elevate you above them (the ru

Yeah he used the term "violence" as a drop in substitute for the term "troll". Not to dismiss that one can incite or promote violence via trolling, but they are not unanimously equivalent.
