When I used to be a Democrat, "Question Authority" was a popular slogan, and was on a lot of bumper stickers. Now, the left and Democrats embrace authoritarianism, and want to limit speech, and create authoritarian technology to p

Yeah, were such a statement to have been made -- but no statement like that was made. Not sure what you're referring to.

Yes, but an inverted magoo. Mr. Magoo assumed the best intentions of everything he bumped into (and misunderstood).

Exactly. And now, android development is by design impossible without it. So stupid.

They were acting like the BLM and antifa rioters they witnessed all last summer, who streamed their bad deeds, but faced little consequence (in fact they got media support).

Public sector unions are the worst of the union beasts -- a layer of financially interested and un-elected bureaucrats between taxpayers and the services they are paying for. In California, the teachers union has a grotesque level of influe

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida (of course), there was a place named "R Donuts" with topless waitresses.[1] [1] https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/11/27/Topless-doughnut-sho...

I think it correlates, but I don't know if one causes the other. I've been hearing of these kind of "testosterone levels are declining" studies for a while. For a looong time I've been perplexed by modern males --

Companies are tripping over each other to satisfy the woke mob, and it's ridiculous. This is part of that, and my advice is to not participate -- don't give air to unwanted things, and don't legitimize them. Or, if anyone ha

It's very easy to support because it isn't political unless you apply it in that domain.

That's very interesting, and I'm sincerely glad that you're happy. In the U.S., the value system is (was, at least) about personal ambition, talent, and action which determine if one "should be able to get very rich&quo

Really? After 4 years of unrelenting conspiracy theories that the 2016 election was not "free and fair", I find that an interesting comment.

If that's toxic (I said please, in fact), then the OP is too thin-skinned. Why signal that you work on a popular software title (you've all heard of it...geez), but then not name it? I'll assume he worked on Hannah Montana L

So one can discriminate against a group, defined by race ("white people in the us"), but you say that's not racist? That's amazing anti-logic (a.k.a. nonsense).

Creating actual institutional racism is the best cure for perceived institutional racism, I guess.

Wow, exactly. The phrase of the day is "Cognitive Dissonance".

I wonder how long it will take for Go to become like Java by adding baggage like this. As soon as you see Enterprise Go, it's over.

These actions and events are making the case solid that the Internet is a utility, and needs to be regulated as such. It's sad, but inevitable.

I've been thinking that Amazon ought to be protecting distribution centers (likely a little less hardened than data centers), and their distribution and delivery network (much softer targets). Unlike Twitter and Facebook, Amazon has a

These are surreal times, to put it mildly. These headlines of banning/deplatforming would be ordinary if you substitute "CCP" for "Facebook", "Twitter", and "Amazon". Facebook has even blocked

Twitter claims to be neutral but their moderation reveals their active left-bias.

"As much as people in the West praise CCP's economic rise, and some even point to its authoritarian system as superior to our democracy..." They do? I don't think this describes a large population.

If you read your first sentence, you might see how funny it actually is: "You're the only one who's confused. BLM is both a sentiment and a real political organization. The sentiment is overwhelmingly popular whereas the actu

When a private company acts in union with, on behalf of, and/or in support of the regime and its political objectives, it is part of the authoritarian system. I think you'd say the same of Twitter were it aligned with the right i
