Also, there are calls for boycotts every time an organization makes a decision that someone with basic HTML skills disagrees with. We just don't hear about most of them, because they don't gain traction. We hear about the ones tha

I think one thing you're missing is the extreme power imbalance in this situation: Rice is so successful and well-connected that it's inconceivable that this campaign could deprive her of her livelihood or materially change her hi

It looked like they were setting the device to respond to a specific ssid, so I assumed those shots were showing two different networks. Also, you could use light painting to capture a time-varying signal: just do it a whole bunch of times

That doesn't make much sense to me: doing an Ellis eviction is a voluntary act by a landlord. If it would bring them to ruin, why would they initiate it? (I hope your second paragraph wasn't directed at me. I haven't given an

I think you're confusing the Ellis Act with the SF Rent Ordinance, which establishes rent control and other things. The Ellis Act is generally considered to be hostile to tenants and friendly to landlords (as it sets up a sort of looph

The wonderful thing about living in a country with a separation of church and state is that you don't have to change your views! You're welcome to believe whatever you want, and even to talk about it! The only thing you have to do

Do you believe that you're making a good-faith attempt to understand how prop 8 caused actual harm to people, and how Eich bears some responsibility for that harm? For this purpose you don't even have to accept that it was a net n

I'm not sure why I'm replying to this, but to point out some very basic things: Are you aware that sexual orientation is set and can't be changed by puberty? It may or may not be entirely controlled by genetics, there may be

The pro-prop-8 side spent $39M. The passage of the amendment caused the state to stop recognizing 18,000 previously-legitimate marriages. So if you count only immediate effects, his $1000 contribution works out to 0.46 marriages, or destroy

You seem to not be very familiar with the facts. We can guess that he voted for prop 8, but his vote is truly private and nobody but him knows how he voted. What do know is that he gave $1000 to an organization that campaigned for the propo

Campaign contributions over $200 are public record in California. This information has been publicly available since 2008, it's just that nobody bothered to look before. You can see his contributions here (the site is really slow for m

Who said it was the wrong thing to do? You wrote: "He made a very public post saying, I'm happy to discuss my views - reach out to me and I'm happy to do it in private." That is a severe mis-characterization of what he s

He didn't say that at all. He said: "If we are acquainted, have good-faith assumptions, and circumstances allow it, we can discuss 1:1 in person. Online communication doesn’t seem to work very well for potentially divisive issues.

Not to make a general rule, but in this case I think it would have. The most damaging thing about homophobic (or other bigoted) views isn't necessarily how the holder of those views acts toward people based on them (in this case it&#x2

One person losing his job, compared to millions of people not being able to marry the person they love? Even if you figure that $1000 as a fraction of the money raised by the campaign, you're still talking about significant emotional h

Sorry to nitpick, but when you write "Imagine going on an epic ski run from your sofa" I have to wonder whether you've actually had an epic ski run. If you had, I think you'd agree that the primary senses that make it so

Yeah, that was in 2009. I don't know if CCB/BoA still have the no-fee agreement. But now I have a checking account at Schwab that refunds all ATM fees, including internationally, so I could do it with that.

Just a note, if you've only seen the movie but not read the graphic novel it was based on, try to find a copy! The movie only covers about the first 1/4 of the novel, which is more expansive thematically as well as in plot. In par

The 1583 form is a big hurdle for potential customers to get past. You have to get it notarized, which is something most people don't do regularly, so they have to spend time looking up a local notary, and there's usually a small

The half-price for the first few months is misleading, I admit. I'm a careful reader so it didn't bother me. The coupon code thing is a little weird, but I don't see how you can complain about it: it only increases your limit
