There is nothing selectively jarring about 20+ seconds of grown women hyperventilating and screaming "nigga" during a supposed national scholastic event.

I dont know if it is acceptable to post YouTube links on HN, but here is a recording of recent national champions.[1] That it is even called debate is tragic. 1. https://youtube.com/watch?v=fmO-ziHU_D8

Maybe we shouldn't be teaching our kids to do so in sanctioned debate competition. When did it become socially acceptable to behave in this manner?

Have you looked at the APIs for any of these libraries? I think there is a perception that these are all for NN only because NN is the hot topic that everyone is jumping on noe; but tf for example is a general matrix manipulation library wi

How are people so niave as to not understand that such a broad concept like "neutrality" can easily be abused? Legislation is slow to change and adapt as is, you want to give government further power to apply law to an industry wh

Meanwhile we are lobbying for net neutrality legislation which gives out own government (famous for freedoms like the patriot act) additional power over ISPs by reclassifying them as common carriers. Do you really want your government decid

Who do you think is going to disdisarm willingly? Educated, well off middle-upper class, or those you describe? Why must the middle and upper classes sacrifice their safety when a substantial subset of the population violently dehumanizes t

What I find more amazing is how educated, successful people all over the world can be almost deliberately blind to the massive difference that culture can have in the functions of a society.

Why? Why immediately turn this into a racial issue? You dont think there will be minorities clinging to their guns? Dont you think your comment is a bit racist?

by nnfy 9y ago
And you also make it harder for innocent people to defend themselves. People act like guns are only useful for committing crimes and mass shootings. Guns are a tool; we have a cultural problem, not a simple gun problem.

Perhaps the solution is a little bit more nuanced; or do you seriously believe that half of the country is totally irrational? I suggest you look into the stastics of shooting deaths in the U.S.. You'll quickly see that banning "a

Are you familiar with the concept of regulatory capture and how expanding the laws of a government which has been captured destroys competition, creates artificial barriers to market entry, and enables dangerous abuse of power? Do you reall

Wow, excuse me for trying to have an objective discussion and consider the possible downsides of this legislation. Perhaps you'd care to explain why you think my comment justifies being called an idiot? Edit: do you really want to give

Am I the only one bothered by the reclassification of ISPs as telecommunications companies? For this reason, net neutrality drastically expands the reach of the federal government, and opens up the internet to legal regulations drafted deca

You simply cannot justify that first order approximation. There is no reason so believe that the financial industry takes power in proportion to it's relative size of GDP. In fact I would expect the financial industry to require a high

You may have a point, except you haven't mentioned how many city's worth of power non-btc transactions currently require, not to mention the additional inneficiency of hundreds of thousands of staff which could possibly be reduced

How much power is drawn by the "ever-expanding" racks of servers powering other stores of value? How many servers are running in the banking and financial industries just to enable non pseudonymous transactions of value? This arti

Do you have evidence that ayuhuasca is mutagenic? Inhibition of enzymes is temporary and generally harmless if you are careful not to consume certain drugs while inhibited.

That is a striking perspective. While I was already hesitant about UBI, I had never considered that it effectively expands the power of the government.

by nnfy 9y ago
Yes, because when entities compete, consumers typically win. The government in the U.S. has already regulated ISPs to the point that an enormous artificial barrier has arisen to market entry. We need deregulation. Approval for the major car

Net neutrality includes a clause that places ISPs into the category of "common carrier," which allows the government to regulate the internet as a telecommunicationa company. This makes me nervous, I'd much rather the governm

If you're so blind that the literal term "white privilege" is not racist to you, then there is no use in talking. You've judged an entire race, including myself, and accused us of having some kind of property. Worse stil
