Political posts are only allowed if they can be construed as interesting to venture capital.

Ach, my bad. I do remember discussing this well before last week.

> We should expect police to us less use violence and improve their crowd management and deescalation skills. What about american history would lead you to this expectation? That said, I like the rest of your comment. It’s somewhat distu

At some point society will realize that this “de-escalation” would be better served by social workers without guns.

I don’t think the point of taking up the “anonymous” moniker is to get credit. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the underlying meme, which is populist, not meritocratic or whatever. It’s spelled out quite well in V for Vendetta...

George Floyd is an instance of a very, very difficult video to watch. Even when you’ve been desensitized to watching people be violently subdued under seemingly peaceful conditions, the absolute lack of humanity of his actions is undeniable

The technology is called “autopilot”. Blame the expectations of consumers for safe use on Tesla marketing.

The idea is to get YOU to care.

Yes, a great reminder we in tech can have material responses as well!

> Largely people prefer the free perception of the internet You have any reasoning behind this or are you taking the people who killed the product at face value? If I were to guess that product (i have no idea to what you’re referring) w

It really makes me wonder what the internet would be like if google had built microtransactions into a browser to support their sites instead, or as a complement to ads (e.g. an advertiser can pay for your time on the site in exchange for a

Right, well given that they HAVE obviously done a lot of things, I would interpret them to mean “they haven’t done anything I’ve liked or wanted or expected”, which is certainly fine to express. I don’t see why this justifies brushing away

You’re only considering the (debatable) positives (chrome sucks ass, folks). If you can’t engage in a good faith discussion why bother posting?

If this were true chrome would ship with ad block and they would accept cold hard cash for their services.

Not to mention another certain collective identity recently tellingly condemned as a terror organization on twitter.

Ironic, because I’m rather livid that local and national news are not airing the obvious clips of police brutality that are going around the country. Last night multiple people lost eyes to “rubber bullets” (baton rounds is more accurate) a

I’ve forced myself to smile more broadly so it’s actually visible, maybe I should keep the habit! I feel like it’s a crazy grin without the mask on though.

by monadic2 6y ago
Sure, but why does this cross the line into “a kid can’t make the decision for themself”?

This is a great time to be in school and make as many friends as you can—networking has paid off far more than attending class did (though I am very grateful I showed up to my algorithms and theory classes).

Right, so why do they treat their customers who make them their money with such disrespect? You won’t even allow me to pay for my own fucking ad slots to get you out of my computer? Seems like... not very neighborly behavior. Anyway you can

FYI, some municipalities have democratically driven regulations; this seems like a much better course if you’re not trying to make a homogenous neighborhood.

Yes, but it’s called getting a google employee drunk. Not even joking, this is by far the fastest way to get a response.

As someone without a hope in the world for owning a house any time soon, what kind of teeth do these associations actually have to enforce their whims?

They should put up a disclaimer “pay us or we’ll sink your business”
