You’ve devolved completely into Fox News - which is legally not news btw - talking points, and you’ll say others are arguing dishonestly? This decision - to cease publishing select Dr Seuss books - was taken, with no external pressures, by

Seems weird to slander a community instead of stating what happened, which is that the extraneous "other" made the meaning ambiguous.

I agree, I do not see eye-to-eye with those who, never having commented on how a book publisher manages their inventory and resource allocations, decide that a private corporation ceasing publication of select books with racial epithets the

The monkeys in that picture were the picture representation of the "Africans" in that book. Your ridiculous deflection is saddening. You yourself stated the criteria the publisher made their decision under, and now you will act li

How are you acting as if a publisher ceasing to generate material that it wishes to ethically distance itself from, executed as a perfectly legal maneuver by a private corporation, is in any way analogous to the USSR's centralized gove

I don’t think I used that quote, implied Dr Seuss doesn’t have all time classics without ethical issues, nor acted morally outraged. I did ask a question. “Hilarious” how you missed that.

Can you expand on how not continuing to distribute materials with racial representations from a time when skin color determined humanity / slavery is a poor decision? I do not like to see what I am seeing in this HN thread. I think tha

Honestly, I’m not well educated on Chernobyl’s mode of failure or political incentive structures. I’d probably agree with your implication that if procedures can’t be followed consistently/successfully than that is exactly an engineeri

Right, fair question. I read "engineering failures" above, so I want to highlight that this isn't so much an engineering failure as it is a capitalistic failure driven by incestuous relationships in US aerospace. I do totally

I mean, isn't the answer clear? It might be slick and theoretically beautiful, but no entrepreneur has managed to convince any portion of industry that it's worth money, so therefore no one pursues it

Indeed, it's easy for the execs raking in top salaries to say "everyone cant get raises now", yet when the profits roll in they don't reverse course and now your salary is deflated by one or more annual cycles of non-adj

Which is being defended and condoned by who? That is clearly a criminal act and should be punished. The insurrection on the other hand has a hearty crew of deniers / supporters / it didn’t happen but if it did it wasn’t violent. A

Why make such a weak strawman? If you have a point to make, do it with information and not ridiculous analogies

This isn't an "in advance" though. From TFA: > EFF shows that the LAPD asked for video related to “the recent protests" Given that the protest was against the LAPD's power, more or less, you can imagine that this

I think this sort of false equality being constructed between peaceful protests against abuse of power and a seditionist insurrection against certifying election results is quite abhorrent, and your comment is certainly trying to normalize

Oh no, that's not the way to go at all. Windows itself is the crapware. Integrated ads in the windows menu, telemetry beyond Facebook's wildest dreams, a dumb search that goes to the internet for things that are on your machine...
