That sounds like even more of a reason for universities to take the lead in protest and standing up against bigots, other wise that anger and desire for change can get eaten up by bigots.

I took his article as a statement against university protests against speakers, Milo most recently comes to mind. Many faculty and students were against him speaking and protested. While my opinion on it certainly does not matter, I think t

I think it's rather odd to take a stand for "everyone's right to speak" when many speakers openly hate liberal institutions and really don't seem to have any regard for facts or knowledge. Platforms to speech is wha

Trustfund wasn't citing a study or anything, but still I don't think an appropriate counter to a perceived trend is one cherry picked point of data.

I'd be really interested to know what features you think are most needed and are going to "crash" them. What I most commonly see is "neglecting pros by not offering 32 gigs of ram" which targets a pretty specific de

I think the space to innovate might not be smaller now, but it's less ripe for big dsiruptions until VR or something else can start grabbing marketshare. Phones and laptops are pretty stable. Apple is trying to get into at least one ex

My opinion doesn't represent everyone's of course, but I don't like touching my desktop/laptop screen and getting smudges everywhere. I'm quite happy with a keyboard and a (good) trackpad. Apple said the touchbar is

Comments like this are a dime a dozen on Reddit and Hacker News but Apple is doing fine. Higher MacBook Pro sales, highest ever iPhone sales. Services doing well... I'd say their biggest problem is MBP pricing is high and a stagnate de

That's not good, but at least they had this going for them? > Unlike most iCloud data, the records don’t seem to have been accessible to law enforcement requests. Apple declined to comment when reached by The Verge.

Should they? They're trying to disrupt a hundred year old industry which has used that time to gain efficiency and acquire a stable workforce. Not to mention, many car companies _mainly_ build their luxury and more expensive models in

This discussion caused me to look up info on it, and this source has some compelling reasons: https://geoff.greer.fm/2015/01/15/why-neovim-is-better-than-... For me personally, a good reason to switch seems t

Guess it would depend a lot on the dev, but it seems like NeoVim would make sense for one's personal computer, and then Vi/m whenever logged on to a remote server. I'm a vim neophyte, but it's not like your .vimrc follow

I have no idea how you're upvoted, your one problem is literally the whole reason super chargers exist. There is now a super charge grid across the country specifically for that purpose, you can literally drive to any major city in the

Of course not, but having the tech tied to an electric push I think makes the whole package more attractive to consumers. Perhaps I'm too tied to a Tesla mindset on this though, of course self driving cars offer a bunch of advantages o

I think one of the more depressing things is that (potentially) many driver-less cars will be gas powered. Does anyone know if Waymo is going to be used on any electric cars? There doesn't seem to be any reason driver-less cars have to

I wonder if Intel considering it's third round of layouts in 18 months got as much coverage a couple months ago? Probably indicative of how a lot of companies will operate. Lots of talk about new factories or what have you while really

Assuming we're all going to be deep learning programmers is quite a bit foolhardy. I think what's really relevant to consider is AI winters can and do happen[1]. I would not disagree deep learning has done some amazing things, wha

I've mainly used it for personal python projects and have found two ports fine. When it gets dicey is if I'm using an external monitor and backing up on a thumb drive, a third port would be nice for charging. That was just one sit

I've actually really liked the keyboard and mouse-pad, but I came from a windows laptop. Keys give a firm click which is very satisfying for me despite low travel. Track pad is expansive and glorious, always used a mouse before on a la

People jump to compare to digg or clamping down on "free speech" but groups that dox or participate in harassment don't deserve to be sheltered. Sure, reddit started as a sort of "libertarian dream" but it's pr

If you're claiming there's context to the beating of the elephants in the video, I find that hard to believe. If you're claiming it's staged, pretty sure Ringling would have had a field day with that. A conversation is p

Well certainly now that they're out of business. They did at least 8 years ago[1], though. Not sure how anyone could believe that they could make animals do unnatural tricks day in day out without coercion. I can see why someone would

I'd be interested to know what an animal could do to deserve to be beaten to preform tricks and then ferried around in small cages for human entertainment.

I'm also against circuses massively, pushing people to their limits is fine and great if people are up for it, animals taken from their environment just to entertain us? Less so. If we want to "enjoy" an animal it should be o
