It seems like this requires Slack Plus and not just the Standard plan. It's not clear to me if you can access all historical data immediately after upgrading to Plus, though.

You’re right, I’m sure demographics have absolutely nothing to do with it. And this isn’t a trend that’s going to continue. And it’s not one that many progressives, including white progressives, are actively advocating for.

Fair enough. I suppose people mostly felt the same way about Trump winning a GOP primary as I do about Zuck winning a Democratic primary, too.

Ask Black and Hispanic voters if they care about that. Being Jewish didn’t seem to do Dianne Feinstein any good. California Democrats dropped her in favor of a Hispanic candidate, Kevin de León.

It was easy enough to see Trump coming ahead of time though. He’s been talking on and off about running for a long time, and that speech more recently where he called the Chinese “motherfuckers” in particular should have made it clear that

The talent is also considerably more expensive and not substantially better unless you need people in a specific niche. And if you really need talent from SF, you could always hire them on remotely.

"muh whataboutism" You're not even using this term correctly. Not that hardly anyone is since it's become popular...but still. Whataboutism is a very specific thing, and every time someone draws a comparison it doesn&#x2

This isn't even an argument, it's more like an inspirational quote my grandma would share on Facebook

The good news about this social credit system is that China's self driving cars will be able to make more optimal decisions about who lives and dies when a crash is inevitable. Isn't innovation wonderful!?

A DUI is a much more serious crime. It's pretty ridiculous to have a mandatory license suspension for any quantity of marijuana possession. Regardless, what's described in this article is closer to this policy than it is to what O

Most of Ohio doesn't really have a good transportation alternative to driving, so it's actually pretty similar.

It's a much bigger risk that the developing world will look to the Chinese model as an inspiration IMO

This isn't a permanent thing, it's 'up to one year'. Not much different than what we have in Ohio...any drug charge and your driver's license is suspended for a minimum of 6 months. It's ridiculous, yes, but it

I never said it wasn’t being covered by the press. But as an individual, if you were to suggest that these things are happening as a result of immigration policy, you’d run the risk of being charged with a hate crime.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Perhaps I'm a little too caught up in recent events and not seeing the forest for the trees.

Maybe for now, but it's looking increasingly possible that the EU won't be around or will be significantly diminished in the relatively near future. Salvini becoming PM in Italy would likely accelerate this a lot.

Even in something like Go which has this kind of concurrency in mind, performance critical code is often written with the more traditional "threads & locks" approach with the goal of using the ideal number of goroutines to max

But isn’t calling yourself a neckbeard instead of a greybeard kind of a neckbeard thing to do? Maybe we should just leave it alone? ;)

At first I expected this to be something about the process of synaptic pruning, which doesn’t seem to work for people with autism and could be a big part of how autism works. I guess in retrospect this is only somewhat related to prediction

Yes, social media definitely plays a huge role here. At the same time, the average person has next to no power at all. They have virtually no influence on mass opinion, little chances of having any influence on it, and even if they could, m

The justice system is theoretically supposed to be somewhat isolated from this by limitations on democracy. But we've sort of morphed our way out of half of those limitations and we're almost getting the bad stuff without getting

Of course the literal meaning of it isn't bad, but the connotation is pretty negative. Although perhaps it isn't there, it could just be the English translation that "sounds" that way.

Why was De Beers called “The Syndicate” in Israel? Was that where they had their supervillain lair or something? Almost all of the other names are trying too hard to be inconspicuous, and then they go with “The Syndicate”?

It's not that bad with channels. I suppose you don't have to worry about synchronization issues as much with async/await on Node since that's a single threaded environment, but async/await with something like C# isn

Honestly, if you're buying a new vehicle to use for Uber you're insane. Perhaps they got more people roped into that or leasing than they ought to have and that's responsible for these issues. But you can get a used car that&

As a former pizza delivery guy, this seems odd to me. Before expenses, I’d make between 12 and 20 an hour depending on the night. The car I drove then had a KBB value of less than $3000 and it would have been eligible to use as an Uber. I j

I was sort of trolling, but this does sort of get to the heart of the issue. Stop and frisk is sort of a shitty policy in my opinion because even if it were limited to weapons, some people may be carrying them to defend themselves. Laws aga
