Are you trying to imply that discrimination against rural/southern people is ok because they have unacceptable political views? I don't know how else to read your reply. If so, you've done a great job of illustrating GP'

Why would the number of members of your group in the hiring pool change the morality of the situation? Take, for example, a business in a majority black neighborhood preferentially hiring white people. Seems bad. I think I prefer the "

Billionaires are not a good model for what people will do if they don't have to worry about mortgages and bills, they're a model of what people will do when they have virtually no resource constraints whatsoever. If people don&#x2

I don't know, it seems as though one of the basic instincts we've progressed past is our instinct to spread. When given the freedom to choose, people reproduce at less than a replacement rate. World population is still rising, but

Why are you staying there? If you are capable of being a high performer, go somewhere and do that. It's much more rewarding personally and professionally, even if the money is less.

Your analogy doesn't work on that level. Going to get pizza is a decision which requires little planning and has no long term consequences, which is totally not the case with choosing a service provider like Gitlab. Metaphorically, cus

If you marketed yourself as the Pizza place that gives slices away for free then people would expect that. If they showed up for their free slice and you said, sorry, now they cost money, you can be sure they'd be angry. To extend your

Can't read that article because it's paywalled, but you seem to be implying that provoking a physical reaction in someone else is tantamount to an assault. Is that really what you are saying? Is this not an inevitable part of inte

Your post violates HN posting guidelines. We can have a better conversation if you engage with people's points rather than speculate about why they said them.

No rebuttal, just a general expression of your dislike of Christians. Guess we're done here.

The fact that you disagree with that particular democratic process does not mean it is not in fact a democratic process. Not a perfect one, but one nonetheless. As for your second sentence, I don't understand what you are getting at. I

When a court rules that a particular area is outside of elected officials' power to legislate, in a sense they are disenfranchising those who would vote for officials to make such laws. Leaving aside whether it is right or wrong, the u

Outside observer, but my understanding is that a big concern is that people from more illiberal cultures will make the nation more illiberal. There is also concern that making low skilled labor more plentiful will be harmful to the prospect

Also a literal greybeard (mid 50s) and I haven't seen ageism. Not sure if it's because I'm on the east coast and it's different here or I'm just not aware of it. I've sort of been expecting to hit it, but inste

Maybe it's just where I am in my career, but I prefer to have some discussion before talking salary. I don't tend to look for $job, I look at specific jobs that look interesting to me. If it looks good I talk to them and see if th

I don't know why I should give a rat's ass what CPU is doing the work as long as the work can be done. Your point seems kind of pedantic in a world where a vast amount of code executes in the cloud or is intricately tied up with n

I'd go one step further: most of the people responding are probably not jerks or assholes, just people sharing their own opinions in a playfully exaggerated way which, when done in person and accompanied by grins or laughter rarely cau

If you want to make an argument that the contents of that email server or Joe Biden's laptop were of no interest, actually do it. I'm open to persuasion. Mocking, on the other hand, I find unconvincing.

The facts aren't really in dispute. The NY Post got kicked off of twitter for running stories that were deemed misinformation and which subsequently proved to be true. This didn't happen to the NY Times because they dropped the st

It seems unlikely to me that they'll turn up the pressure on the high performers. More likely they'll just raise the bar for what is considered adequate. The real pain will be having less people to do the work, but that happens wi

Detailed logging can function as an on-demand APM. Not a bad idea if you have the bandwidth and storage for it.

I think the difference is, back in usenet times the weirdos were also technical professionals. There wasn't the same need to be concerned for professional reputation so you'd get things like diatribes for fringe political beliefs

I'd say talking is best at straightening out misunderstandings. In those cases there's not necessarily any extra information generated. It's kind of like attaching a debugger to your communication stream.

You could argue that reading is addictive, maybe some people find math so as well. I became addicted to computers when I was a kid and we didn't even have the internet. Sports can be addictive, along with dancing, or just plain sociali

Setting the bar awfully high there, aren't you? Very few companies open source everything, and I'd say that it's pretty reasonable to say you support open source and open standards despite that.

It's a straw man in the context of using faith to battle addiction, regardless of the role it played in your personal life. Virtually no one advocates trying to scare addicts into recovery with the threat of hell.

You're engaging with religion only as an explanatory mechanism for physical occurrences, whereas the weight of the argument for and against religion are on philosophical and logical grounds. It's not a strawman, as many people hav
