Exactly. The article never should have been written.

People often say that "fat-shaming doesn't work," but Asian Americans fat shame their overweight family members constantly and -- surprise -- are among the least obese demographic groups in America today.

High IQ women completely exiting the gene pool is pretty bad for the species.

To be fair to them, it's not obvious to me what their politics are. Their willingness to complain about the homeless suggests that they might be less liberal than the avg. SF resident.

Airplane safety is fairly black-and-white compared to, say, the decision to partner with law enforcement or to censor certain kinds of content on YouTube. Given that Silicon Valley engineers have attitudes that are not broadly representativ

"Campaign" is a loaded word. Anyway, it looks like I misread the map. It would have been far more productive for someone to just point that out, rather than threatening a ban.

I just read over the guidelines, and I'm wondering if this actually violates any of them or if you just won't tolerate comments that you disagree with on sensitive subjects. Would you be open to amending the guidelines with a list

Why would it even involve a loop? And even your lambda function were: while True: pass Lambda functions time out after a period of time that you specify (limited to 15m max).

Wondering if this would be a good Lambda application. Assuming boto3 allows it, you could have a Lambda function poll for this up to every minute. It actually might be a trivial function to write.

I don't think there's a single issue the tech community is more deluded about than mass immigration from the third world and its cost.

You've got to be kidding me. The sentences are excruciating to read. New Yorker prose is in a different universe. The writing is spare and lucid. You can't evaluate the quality of prose with "wc -w".

Very cool that they're offering this. They should also create a marketplace for selling your remaining committed funds at a discount. That would be a REALLY bold, pro-customer move.

I remember learning about this in a data structures class, and it is a remarkable data structure. But the author of this article needs to pick up a copy of Strunk and White. This reads like it was written by a high school junior. Awful, awf

Those studies are deeply flawed because they pressupose that the average black college graduate is as prepared as the average white college graduate, or that race does not predict performance controlling for educational attainment. When you

Lol, what entitlement? If anything, I'm grateful San Francisco is such a magnet for human refuse. Less of it for the rest of us to deal with.

This argument seems to assume that the media is a fair and impartial arbiter of acceptable opinion, which is a fairly controversial stance.

Or imagine a CEO saying "there isn't authoritative evidence that racial diversity would benefit our company, and bringing race into hiring decisions is inherently discriminatory." At least 40% of the country more-or-less agre

It's stupidly easy to legislate against the results. Enforce drug laws against people shooting up in public. Problem solved. The fact that the San Francisco public is too brainwashed to do so is a big part of why I would never consider

You're putting words in her mouth, and you should try living in China or reading more history if you read anything above as remotely resembling fascism. Also as someone who does not do drugs, I consider it a bigger problem when a homel

Unlike a church, most of the world's programmers have to use Stack Exchange in some capacity and abide by its policies. You're being obtuse.

You really can't grasp the differences between a technology site that's used by practically every software developer and a church?

Stack Exchange is the closest thing there is to a utility in terms of technology Q&A sites. I find it pretty disturbing to see websites like this become so overtly political.

What's the point of noting that they have the right to do this? Was anyone arguing that SE violated the law? Their culture is stupid and alienating to many intelligent people.

Berkeley had a bunch of great online computer science courses that got taken down because some opportunistic ADA lawyer sued them because the free content wasn't "accessible enough" (and the university couldn't justify t
