An example you may have learned about in school was Eli Whitney and the cotton gin. He thought his invention would reduce slavery by making it very cheap to clean the seeds out of picked cotton. Instead, this efficiency led to an explosio

Not quite, I believe this sell off was caused by Shockley showing with their "transistor" that the electricity demands of computers are not necessarily as high as everyone has assumed (as required by vacuum tubes). Electricity dem

No -- the people who chose not to vote supported the decision of the people who did.

Everyone who chose not to vote effectively removed themselves from the set of people to be counted as either supporting or not supporting this administration.

by khazhoux 2y ago
How can someone who couldn't be bothered to vote possibly count in a discussion of how many people support this administration? Putting aside people who were unable to vote, everyone who chose not to, absolutely 100% gave up their

Nope, those people don't count. You may as well point out that 89.7M dogs didn't vote for Trump. The majority of people wanted this.

The people that didn't vote don't count, figuratively or literally. You may as well have pointed out that only .1% of all mammals supported this, after accounting for dogs, cows, raccoons, mice...

I'll add: - Not to be made to feel like shit constantly with non-stop criticism about every little thing you didn't 100% get perfectly right, meanwhile management has no accountability on all the stuff they fuck up, so long as the

30+ years later, I'm still always amazed at how effective the Mac debugger UI could be with such a tiny screen resolution. It's really quite masterful.

I’ve been at several of the top tech companies and my observation is that most (though not all) the top executives do merit their positions. In terms of breadth of knowledge and perspective, depth on some number of key topics, and overall

People love that line, but is it true? The premise of this freeze --agree or not-- is that the U.S. Government spends too much. Or are you suggesting that this is to get back at NIH because of Fauci? Or, are you saying that Republicans hat

It is, though. The word "people" here refers in aggregate to the citizens who voted in November. It would be equally accurate for me to say "This is what we voted for" even though it's not what I voted for.

I’ll challenge you: what action are you and your wife+family going to be taking based on the news? If that approximates zero, then you are only just stressing yourself.

I've wanted to do this since 2016. It was November of 2015 when I first thought, "How long could I go not knowing if Hillary won or lost?" Eight years later, I've put it into effect, and my mind is so much clearer for

Even 5 seconds of Trump is enough to cause rage. I'm powerless to change what he says and does, but I'm only empowered to keep it away from me. My friend's house (and entire town) burned down, so I'm following that news

I understand your point, but I don’t think anyone used the word “wokeness” before the Right started it as insult.

by khazhoux 2y ago
Actually, the origin of “wokeness”, the term, is right-leaning bigots who need to discount any grievance by any group of people who claim they might just possibly be suffering some systemic disadvantages in this country.

No, I think it’s about not having to fear being retweeted publicly for what you intended to be private discussions.
