I really dislike this concept. Cultures mixed and borrowed from each other since forever. To clamp together awefulness like blackface with the wearing of a kimono as a costume is just crazy. Men writing women characters (and vice versa) hav

I think the major cause for this is the self branding phenomena that started together with the social media boom. Suddenly people got it to their minds that they are supposed to market themselves like products. And with the best tradition o

I'm afraid it was obvious US would not be able to deal with this. Powerful people have lost all sense of empathy. Their power is much more important to them than the lives of some poor people. The, rational, social darwinistic ideology

Can you define fascism? Only Italian were ruled by fascism per se, but we use the term to described other authoritarian regimes. Should we wait 50 years and the collapse of democracy to find a new name for this phenomena? Or could this deba

I do, but that's irrelevant to the fact the corporate funded research is used to muddy the waters and make reality even less accessible than it is. It's not the lack of research that's a problem, it's the weaponization o

No, that's a diversion. It has nothing to do with the fact people felt unheard and had to quit. So slimy....

You have an interest in the outcome of the research, why should we trust you to conduct or fund it properly? Your track record is terrible. The fact you are throwing around dubious research as facts is crazy. I'm sorry, but really, the

Well, when your management has such a record regarding their own integrity why on earth would you expect us "dumb fucks", as Zukerberg put it, to trust you? Facebook has lied again and again, took any shady approach to get data,

Isn't the only reason these visas are abused is the employee lock-in? Iean how can these outsourcing companies pay low salary for these foreign workers when there's so much demand for developers?

Who is rachel? I keep seeing her on the front page here, and I mostly find the blog entries boring or just weird. Is she famouse somehow that she gets to HN frontpage? It can't be because of writing quality, it's pretty mundane.

It's like y2k bug all over again. Because of drastic actions taken the health services are holding up. This is not hysteria it's the consequences of careful policy. Without that policy you may have seen healthcare systems crumble

A pandemic is a social situation. The fact that your age group isn't at risk and YOU can protect yourself doesn't mean there are no consequences for your actions. The government won't and shouldn't touch these issues unl

Always working from home is NOT a benefit for the worker. It screws up work life balance and basically makes you a drone with no personal life.

Thank you for thinking I'm deep an edgy.... But why is long term important? people need to see long term effects to know that it's more profitable. But right now, people see success without ethics, so why should they think long te

Could we "just" be carving the aspects of reality that math can model? I mean perhaps math is very effective in explaining what it can explain and we developed a blind spot for what it can't explain?
