Taxes aren't theft. And, really? Theft is never morally justified? Never ever?

The effect is really cool -- I've seen these in person. It's like a really well-done, high-resolution take on those lenticular plastic 3D images. It does look truly volumetric as long as you're kind of roughly in front of it.

Trump will not resign the Presidency. And Congress certainly won’t remove him. 2019 and 2020 will see the country better learning to work around a President who acts on whims instead of information.

True. I was being a little flip, there. There are also jobs that would be a waste of time or dreadfully boring for senior devs to spend their time on.

Young developers will work mindless hours and not demand proper compensation. That's why (poorly run) start-ups prefer 'em. Also, wealth is the world's shittiest metric for success. I know a ton of people with incredible skil

Brett Kavanaugh is so oppressed they only gave him a lifetime seat at the top of one of the three branches of our government, ensuring him several decades of making decisions which will impact all Americans. A great injustice.

No, I would choose to avoid people and companies who support such racism. But thank you for playing the role of "guy who argues in bad faith." I think we're done, here.

Actually, I think we should take into account who we're doing business with when we do business. Make the world a better place: Support good people doing good things.

We have limited time on this earth. Sometimes we just have to say "I'm done arguing this over and over" and just move on. (Especially when the person on the other side is arguing in bad faith.) No one has been shut down from

As a private company, YouTube can choose what it wants to host and/or promote. No one is preventing the purveyors of toxic videos from making and distributing them on their own.

Private company: Not censorship. And, yeah, it's tough to specifically define what's "toxic" and/or "offensive." But YouTube's algorithms are unforgivably dumb about it.

This isn't voter fraud. It's election fraud. Requiring an ID impedes voters. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it turns out it's true. And the problem it purports to solve doesn't actual exist.

This is not true for all jobs, but for some jobs it’s much easier to find people who are smart, creative, and passionate and teach them some programming skills than the other way around. Also, I had been teaching myself coding since high sc

Wow, that’s the polar opposite of my experience (the “lacking a questioning mind” bit). Maybe you’re in the wrong program or studying a major that doesn’t fit your intellectual needs? (Added later...) I don’t know what you’re studying. And

As with many things, probably has a ton to do with the specific student. University broadened my mind incredibly and I’m quite thankful for it. But then, I tended towards multidisciplinary programs with subjects I didn’t naturally excel at.

I suspect it's controversial because HNers think you're referencing people like James Damore and/or people who wrap themselves in the mantle of "diversity of ideas" when they start making racist or sexist comments.

No, the article’s about actual bots pretending to be Democrats saying they won’t vote at all. The article also notes the bots are likely American, not Russian. No one is being removed from Twitter for announcing their plans to vote GOP.
