The phrase "too big to fail" exists for a reason—the big banks aren't getting smaller. Unless the big banks are shoving their liabilities into smaller ones just before death, I don't think it's too relevant to the f

I don't get why people don't just use "queer", which is a true catch all for, well, queered identities. It doesn't seem to take off outside of academia, where it is rigorously used and defined.

I recommend all people interested in philosophy engage in it, but go to classes for critical theory. This is where most of the interesting philosophy of the last 50 years has taken place, including the entirety of queer theory. His view is

> Other reforms like the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act are widely reviled. Sorry to comment again (I can't edit anymore)—but it wasn't an absurd law to begin with. Much of the black community was in support of s

I completely agree. Ironically our laptop screens are smaller than ever.

Well, I wouldn't use a closureless/continuationless language for a UI except as a platform for a higher language. This is 2016 and the lack of such primitives are absurd. For the time, Swing was pretty good. Things have moved on a

What do you think the role of a newspaper is if not to report the news literally?

Personally I know quite a few BLM members, and the overall opinion was joy at hearing about the cookout (I've heard of at least two). Everyone wants good relations with police because yes, they do make life better for the community. Th

I can't agree more. There are even camps in the (academic at least) queer community that argued against gay marriage: we should not be opting to include individual minority groups (while excluding others like the poly community, though

It honestly never occurred to me to rate the literal claim. That's what google and newspapers are for.

It is not a centrally organized movement. > They seem to only want to be mad at police and not fix things. Well, having some sort of change is the point of the movement. Cookouts aren't going to discourage the eager use of lethal

She is an opportunist—like all politicians—but I can't speak to her shame. I don't care, just like I don't care if Trump is "really" racist. If they look like a racist, walk like a racist, and quack like a racist...

Literally rating the claim is worthless, though. If all people were wondering about was whether Clinton defended a sexual predator as a lawyer and whether Clinton laughed at any aspect of that it wouldn't be worth putting on snopes in
644.
by duaneb 10y ago
Well, I think the way to look at Clinton is that she works hard and she can adjust her worldview to fit her constituency. I'm happy to vote the platform and judge her actions. Her motivations aren't necessary to discern if she exe

Yes, the wording is a little weird in my post. But nobody has argued that all lives don't matter. Nobody has argued that black lives matter more than any other lives. It is not the statement itself that is offensive, it is the hashtag

I already addressed these claims in my original comment. The claim may be 100% true on a very literal level: Clinton defended him for some definition of success (her success, not his), and laughed at the case for some definition of laughing

I think it's like any other type of investing: iterate on what you invest in every x days/months/years and make adjustments based on how their value changes. Also, diversify.

Marriage should be a social declaration of dependency, not anything romantic or sexual. If I want my dog to be able to visit me in the hospital, who are you to judge that? That dog is my pride and joy.

I wish I could select the text to quote on iOS but I can't. However, there's a core premise of the article that I disagree with: it is not more acceptable to emphasize your identity as a minority. People emphasize identity as a wh

Did you read the article? this is clearly a Clinton smear job using snopes as a vehicle. At best it splits hairs; at worst it makes her out to be an amoral Machiavellian who doesn't care about child rapists. I can't think of a mor

They endorsed MySQL over PostgreSQL for a type of structure and access very few people use. I don't see how the query language plays into the recommendation at all.

Clinton has the most progressive platform to be nominated in many decades, if not all of American history. They were also behind welfare reform in the 90s. You certainly have a selective view of them.

I don't see the homeless as an SF problem but an American problem. SF is just where they gravitate. Same with the mentally ill. I certainly don't begrudge them the streets. SF is the most disgusting city I've ever seen. The s

Any morality issues in SF are going to be tech oriented (or derived, like the housing market). I wouldn't look for an objective discussion here.

To which of the studies are you referring? I don't believe there are any medical professionals recommending people reduce caloric consumption by 25%, and the rest of the behavior has already been heavily encouraged for decades.

A) marginally less. I can assure you as a borderline anorexic it is not fun to be calorie deprived daily. B) I found the proportion of fruits and vegetables to be much more enlightening in terms of mood improvement, even if the results disa

It was straightforward to use. I wouldn't call it easy by any stretch of the imagination--you're still trapped into Java-style callbacks. It also has all the classic problems of event loop oriented frameworks, meaning you're

I would be convinced, but the Op didn't sound confident in their argument. You need confidence at the end of an iteration cycle. Continually vouching for code on which you're not confident is stressful and would lead to burnout.

Are black Audis intimidating to police for some reason or am I missing something?
