You still should have to consent to be studied. I’ve been part of multiple clinical trials and consent was always there. The control group exists. They know they’re in the study but they may not know they’re the control group.

Owning a leading edge fab is not practical for most companies, even huge some ones like Apple. Intel has even struggled with it since they traditionally didn’t sell capacity to other buyers. It worked for Intel because they traditionally ha

I don’t see any froth around my mouth. I just think the guy sucked, and I think he was racist. Free country, I’m allowed to do that. Give him a generous read on his opinions if that’s what you want to do. To me, if it looks like a duck, qua

His take is stupid even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and believe his claim at face value. You shouldn’t avoid people that dislike you in this manner because it perpetuates the problem to eternity. It is essentially the same conc

If you truly believe that casual conversation will inevitably lead to any kind soul to speak a quote like that you have some serious warped morals. It’s actually worse when you’re doing it as your job because you’re supposed to know better

Context is key. “It’s okay to be white” isn’t really the same as saying “black is beautiful” because of the context. “It’s okay to be white” is spoken in the context of a majority group that has complete societal power over other minority g

Of course now we are getting into the persecution fetish. The entire premise of white people in America facing any kind of race-based setback is laughable.

So now we’ve moved the goalposts to “most people are actually racist so it’s okay to perpetuate segregation and other remnants of racial slavery in America.” Enlightenment is a fight against our tribal instincts. But some folks think we s

And he had zero self-awareness to understand why some black people would feel that way and responded in a stupid, bigoted, illogical way. He assigned this viewpoint to all black people and used it as justification for segregation.

Not really a great analogy but okay. It’s not like Scott Adams did nothing wrong and was pulled in front of an inquisitor. He said weird shit and then had to play a game of PR damage control.

When your politics are bigotry, it isn’t a matter of “disagreeing with them.” When your politics are anti-democracy and pro-fascism, it isn’t a matter of “disagreeing with them.” Politics aren’t detached from real life, they aren’t some hyp

Because you’re invested. You’re a Scott Adams fan. As someone who likes the Harry Potter series, I hear you. It’s tough to see your idols fall into being dumbasses. If you sincerely think Scott Adams had zero bias, that he’s not a bigot, th

Most non-racists don’t need to spend 30 minutes on cable news explaining themselves to save face. Saying something publicly is an action. Depending on what you say, you can’t take it back. If you tell your wife you think her friend is hot a

It’s not even logical advice if you believe him that there really is a climate of hatred against white people. The logical advice to respond to that climate would be to act with dignity and treat other people like you’d like to be treated.

This is once again misunderstood. People are correctly pointing out that the phrase “it’s okay to be white” is used as a dogwhistle. They are not literally saying that it’s not okay to be white. They’re saying that those who speak that phra

Shrug, I run Gnome apps in KDE all the time. They run smoothly for me. I’m sure the inverse is perfectly fine as well. I certainly don’t expect most users to switch between desktop environments but there are so many of them that complaining

Nuclear power works too, it’s clean and low carbon impact. Can Microsoft and Google not afford to build a battery factory or nuclear power plant? Are they broke or something? Why is the solution to scarcity of supply to bend over backwards

Exactly this. Powering all AI data centers with renewable energy is actually trivially easy. You could even legislate it and make big tech companies responsible for providing the power themselves. One stroke of the pen resolves the issue. I

Okay, I understand now. And that's just a wildly nitpicky criticism by the person that brought this up. To me, as long as the OS includes the functionality, the way it's presented to the user, how customizable it is, and what keys
