The link you posted said that a lot more black people were lynched than white people and also that many of the white people lynched were lynched for just helping black people. It really makes it sound like it was primarily racially motivate

That's a very apples to oranges comparison. Dog allergies aren't deadly and there are interchangeable snacks (most flights nowadays have pretzels in my experience), is not like you could give someone a different hypoallergenic dog

Wouldn't removing CDA force tech companies into more censorship, not less? Where is the elegance with that approach? Here's the EFF on the importance of CDA 230 for people not familiar with it: https://www.eff.org/

This doesn't sound good. The government choosing what's on my feed is way worse than Silicon Valley companies doing that. I've switched companies over not liking my feeds but it's much harder to do that with governments.

Did Cernekee say that Google tried to undermine Trump? I'm only familiar with him with regards to his talks on the internal work culture.

It's not like the current system allocated wealth well. Every system redistributes wealth (including the current one).

The problem for 8chan wasn't having bad users, every place has those, it was the specific way which it enabled them. Reddit or Facebook make effort to take down extremist threats, which puts them in a different league altogether. I&#x2

Yeah but on the other hand you shouldn't be able to shout fire in a crowded theater so you need some censorship. As with like 99% of political arguments is about finding the line because the absolutist arguments generally end up kinda

The pride some people have in their ability to tolerate bad conditions is a little silly. I don't understand how you can look down on people who want a better work environment

What's the alternative to the recaptchas? Is the difference to just to use a different captcha service?

I've had the picture ones once it twice this year and it only took a couple seconds. The pictures don't take much longer than the text did for me but I wonder if it gets worse on certain configurations (I've heard recaptcha i

I once worked at a place that had a mile of walking paths through an adjacent prairie. I walked it every day that the weather was nice and it was amazing. I was so sad when I changed jobs and the office was in the city.

I have a lot of trouble trying to gain weight. How easy is it too actually eat enough calories fasting that much?

I think if you take into account sales and inflation games are just cheaper now so it's less if a big deal. Also with all the reviews and twitch streams it's super easy to get a ton of information about a game. Edit: I'll gen

I'm still confused what the point was bringing gender into it. If he's not saying they are the same they seem orthogonal to me.

by tdb7893 7y ago
Gender and political ideology are very different. They're the same in that they are generally social constructs but the reasons people align with one or the other and how society views them isn't the same.

I was blown away when someone told me they wanted a natural diamond. It seemed crazy to me, I don't get why someone would want to pay more for an identical (except for the fact that it was likely mined unethically) stone. I don't

I spent some of my life in Hawaii and open breezy houses work great until they don't. The times where it get really hot and there is no breeze it's absolutely miserable. I survived it fine but with how hot and still the summer is

There doesn't seem to actually be any news here. It seems mostly to be this guy speculating on products he doesn't work on, did he say anything specific about his product?

by tdb7893 7y ago
Sadly advertising went to away, it'll just shift back to less efficient forms. I remember that there used to be an even worse ad to content ratio and I would pay every month for TV and magazines and there would still be a ton of ads. A

It sounds like you have a very narrow set of interests and are calling other people boring for not having the same interests. You either need to broaden your interests, which sounds unlikely to me, or just accept the fact that you'll n

Resilience is fine but there needs to be a line somewhere. At a certain point you have to decide what's okay and what's not okay. A good example is prejudice against LGBT people or people of different races. A ton of people are pr

How much would've it cost to actually litigate this? I'm wondering if this settlement was similar to how much it would've cost to litigate and they just wanted the people to go away.

I think as with most things it's a little of both. HN as a whole is concerned about a lot of privacy stuff that just doesn't bother everyone. Also privacy is hard, even if you buy things in cash companies can still track you if th

The slippery slope is still silly, we are still evaluating things on their own terms right now in this thread.
