Until the police are willing to give up their guns, why should the people give up their guns? Personally, I would consider mutual disarmament, but certainly not a one-sided one that gives even more power to the already too-powerful, incredi

Might as well make this bill of rights complete and add the right to murder non-whites without consequences to it since that's already a given. I will never understand how anyone can defend or support or even respect the police in the

The judge also knew that they knew this. I wonder if they had to pay fines or extra costs for wasting the court's time. It seems to me that this kind of case is much more egregious as far as wasting time and money intentionally and tha

It's not a tool to continue the race war, it's the main tool to continue the race war. The rest of your points are quite valid but are not an argument against the numbers that prove that race is not only a major factor, it&#x2

It might be a byproduct outside the US, but it certainly isn't one inside the US, which is the point of my comment.

"If it's war, it must be serious and we should fund it seriously." This is America. Have you seen the wars we fight? Millions dead throughout the word. Millions in jail being tortured. I don't know what definition of war

The drug war is a civil war. It divides and breaks up society for horrific purposes. In the US, it's always been racism, a way for the government to put down people of races they could no longer legally murder or enslave. Some 'fr

After Google missed the first scheduled interview, I had the same experience the last time I interviewed. I'd hardly call it a good experience because the call was clear and they used a Google doc, however. I will never understand the

It is ok. That's how the language is designed so that arrays cover both hash-map use cases and traditional numerically indexed array use cases. The behavior is well documented and in this specific example, using a == instead of a === w

So basically colleges and universities are shirking their duty to their students of providing them with proper education because they're afraid of lawsuits which the college will likely easily win. The whole "politically correct&q

So what you're saying is that you prefer monopolies? Most businesses are clones of others and it's lucky for consumers that people do start clone businesses whenever they can or otherwise we'd end up with Comcast-like entitie

"socialism with Chinese characteristics" He means communism, which is essentially a tyrannical dictatorship. Not surprising indeed. What a scumbag. Supporting communism is no different than supporting naziism.

Another negative about open office plans that I don't see people mentioning is the hearing loss due to having to wear headphones up to eight hours a day. Headphones are generally not recommended to be used more than an hour a day and e

I was hoping it could replace the Air as an all-purpose laptop. 32gb might be a bit overkill, but 16gb is not unheard of, especially considering a life of 5-8 years. If it is roughly as fast as a 2012 Air (which some sites compare it to), i

Is there a USB-C to thunderbolt adapter/hub that would work with existing Cinema displays as well as power the laptop? Or a similar adapter/hub for HDMI?

The specs list 8gb as the only option which is a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping they would offer 16gb and up the rMPBs to 32gb. Otherwise it looks fantastic. I can't wait to try it.

You're effectively eliminating 99% of your potential candidates then, as most developers do not do public open source work, including many talented ones. I can't imagine any sane company doing this, yet there are some that do inde

I think talent, at least in engineering, has very little to do with the success of startups. The "Absolutely" and "Absolutely not" engineers are the same. There are good ones and bad ones everywhere. It's hardly eve

No, it's not a high bar to be decent to people, yet many companies (and people) still aren't. The problem then is that prospective employees have no way of knowing that a company is decent versus another company that is not. Will
