This nice sounding theory is trivial to disprove. Salem Witch Trials. It’s often not advantageous to know the truth, especially when the truth is complicated or uncomfortable. It will be rejected or ignored. You frequently have far more of

He didn’t work for any of those outlets. He quit the company he founded, the intercept, who was indeed censoring.

This has no basis whatsoever, and he is doing no such thing. Feel free to provide any examples of that. Disagreeing isn’t a good excuse to smear someone.

1. It doesn’t say that, many categories are up. 2. It’s a pandemic with much of the last 9 months in lockdown. 3. The numbers in certain categories are much higher than reported because most people have given up and don’t bother reporting

Yes we are sure. They campaigned on it and are very open about it. Nothing sensationalist about it. It’s underpublicized in my opinion.

You’re very misinformed on the situation. Like many cities across the country, special interests successfully ran an unqualified activist DA who fires all of the prosecutors and refuses to charge criminals. And they’re all paying the price

This is an absurd analogy that doesn’t map to the situation at all. What you’re actually saying is that if a white person cheated at football before you were even alive, all white people playing today should get a yardage penalty. What is s

Can you find any examples of HN comments that have suggested Black people are too low IQ on average and will be disruptive? I really doubt such a thing exists.

It's definitely not FUD, but it's probably a bug. I'm surprised at how many people are in complete denial that this could be happening and are assuming that people aren't understanding the tooling or something, instead o

Those sites, other than maybe Parler, aren’t anything to do with conservatism. 4chan...really? I don’t think there is a less conservative site on the whole internet. Half of it is anime/hentai and “anything goes” porn, including of t

Brian Acton and Jan Koum weren’t exceptions either. WhatsApp had some hilariously bad vulnerabilities. Like no authentication on their APIs and trusting the client. https://www.mathyvanhoef.com/2012/05/whatsapp-con

Yeah, I beat this dead horse every time the armchair security quarterbacks climb on their high horse in these comments. These “dumb” mistakes happen to everyone, at every company. Even security experts. Even one of tptacek’s companies had a

No, it really isn’t. The price only exists because of the MLS cartel, which is finally starting to crack.

Nobody getting caught up in this is an aspie, that’s gaslighting. Everyone is having these “is everyone else crazy or is it me?” moments lately because of how absurd these woke kids have become, and because people enable this bad behavior.

I don’t think you read my comment. The NY Times is still using it in print in the same context. This was virtue signaling and fascism. A debate involves engaging with another party in good faith, not conspiring to get them fired before a co

The only thing that is disingenuous is this argument. It has nothing to do with arrogance and everything to do with virtue signaling and fascism. Telling people how they should feel and unwillingness to listen to opposing views goes both wa

This is, frankly, paranoid delusional madness. These are not “red flags”. How do you expect to function in this world when you are that afraid of someone communicating basic information in a completely non-threatening way? Have you consider
