Privacy is a national security issue. Actively monitoring citizens, privately and publicly, and smearing the data across the US and the rest of the world is going to prove to be a massive national vulnerability in the long run.

Didn't epic get a sweet deal to open cross platform play for fortnite? That platform isn't walled if you have enough money.

Lockdowns seem to be the most effective tool we have at reversing infection rate. They also don't need to take forever if combined with contact tracing. What other tools is the US willing to consider? Apparently virtually nothing.

I mean you can statically compile a lot of languages and literally every language is used to write tools. Go doesn't even use a stack compatible with the system abi and has probably the worst FFI of any language I've ever used, it

I mean sure but to what end? Regardless, you couldn't have this effect without the corrupt politicians that ARE supposed to represent your interests, unlike the taxi union. What's the point of raging at perfectly understandable lo

What does that have to do with this conversation? Agreeing on the meaning of words is necessary for basic discourse. It's not like distinguishing race and ethnicity is a redefinition during the course of conversation. If you don't

Nothing really semantic I guess, it's just papering over the processes that keep poor places poor and delaying these people from acquiring real equity and protection from the west.

Blame the corrupt officials that enabled this, you can hardly blame a union for trying to act in their own self interest. They don't represent you but the city does.

Exploitation does not just go away when you consensually sign a contract. In any idea that these folks resemble independent contractors in any way is bullshit. They can't set the rates of the rides or that they give to Uber or Lyft. Th

I mean if you're just going to conflate the concepts of race and ethnicity there's not much point to having this conversation at all.
227.
by monadic2 6y ago
That is not race. Ethnicity and race are distinct concepts.

Edit: downvoting this without a response is pretty much against the guidelines, I am hardly distracting from the conversation here, and the downvote is not a "disagree" button. I put in a lot of effort to showing you why you have

This is not how antibodies work!

Antibodies simply teach memory cells, which is what gives you the secondary (long-lasting) immune response. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_B_cell Still, it's an absolutely brutal way to handle the virus

Money does buy happiness, though, from all the time I have spent observing rich people. Clearly rich people do find ways to become unhappy but it seems like a struggle compared to the rest of us. It's not hard to coach when the largest

That doesn't resolve the question. It's a very odd combination of languages to decide to sling together arbitrarily.

I sincerely doubt technological "progress" is driven by filling needs in peoples lives. Rather, it creates the appearance of needs the technology can then fill. The "killer app" of a smartphone is still gps + mobile call

Note money is nowhere on this list.... what's the point? Every "successful" person I know simply buys their way into a happier life. What a puff piece without acknowledging this! Why is this shit even on HN? Is everyone here
