Up until last year, Wolfenstein - a game depicting nazi germany - wasn't allowed to have swastikas. Holocaust denial is still a crime, causing legal consequences for publications that dispute the actual number of jews killed in concent

Vast majority of the time, I pick up a project half-way with an existing codebase rather than start from scratch, and it's natural to just keep using what's there unless there's a showstopper, in which case I make the bare mi

I doubt it. In fact I foresee a lot of unique long-term health problems when people start eating this as a major part of their diet. Think of it as the early versions of a huge and complicated piece of software whose coders just sort of ha

the true risk of any given question is a nebulous thing depending on many unknowns and your very specifc circumstances, and it varies from day to day. Working it out is a cognitive load that doesn't seem to be worth the effort. Plus

The author misses the point. People are avoiding sensitive questions not because it impacts opinion on average, but because of the rare outliers that ruin it for everybody. It takes just a single asshole reporting you to HR to ruin your lif

How do we prove that they didn't just look at mortality in all diseases and for all restaurants, and cherry-picked stroke-vs-ramen because it has the best significance? I am not accusing them of anything - I have no horse in this race.

Specific categories such as employment and housing, for example? Urgh, fine, pretend my examples were about bachelor pads. Same deal: don't target the young men who actually buy them, because we don't like those people and we do

You can't understand because you're not reading between the lines. The surface message is self-contradicting, but the underlying is clear-cut. They want a world where advertisers are not allowed to direct messages at their outgro
