No, it’s explicitly so that allegations of mental illness are forbidden except if the target is gay or trans. Here’s another source: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/meta-new-hate-spee... And the original

Is the distribution of people in Austin so very different from the Bay Area? Both states are internally diverse. And it’s just silly to suggest that “groupthink and community speech policing” is something that exists in California but not T

Nobody thinks Hitler’s art is museum-quality or art historically important in the same way that Griffith’s and Riefenstahl’s movies are. And even if Hitler’s paintings really had been particularly good, I still don’t think museums in German

Surely you have to draw a line somewhere, though? Adolf Hitler was a painter and Kim Il-Jong directed movies. Neither of them was any good, but if they had been, would it really make sense to judge their art in isolation, without the slight

As a customer I find a stark difference between Musk and Jobs. I have a Tesla and I was also a customer of Jobs’s Apple since 1999. The big difference is that Jobs never lied to me. Sure, he was an enthusiastic salesman, but the products ac

I agree that large node graphs get unwieldy and nobody has come up with a great solution for that. Macros and independently scalable groups and visual annotations can help, but it depends on the type of program. I disagree about the single-

It’s nice to see some real-world graphics programming in a visual language. Node-based environments can be powerful for exploring solutions like this, but they don’t often make it to Hacker News.

I don’t know what you mean by “forward” because there is no difference between these two: img.onload = function() {…} img.src = “some url” img.load(“some url”, function() {…}) The early JavaScript APIs use the first style, but t
