   Well he also started a spread of snark that made the entire industry look bad. His own site is called destroy all software. Even if that is meant to be ironic, even that irony isn't helpful.

   That one was all cynicism that baited the experienced and confused and discouraged beginners... this one actually takes the important next step of making it all teachable which is really great.

   All of these HN comments are defending shouting "Fire!" falsely in a theater under the guise of it being a slippery slope before all speech is lost. I have lost a lot of respect for these slippery slope arguments because they are

   You pointing out that overreaction is further propagation.

    I don't think that's a valid retort to what I said. My point is that they make no pretense to argue in good faith.

    This is how racists work though... Make people inadvertently stick up for them.

    This does not follow. You are continuing to say I shouldn't believe that the racists think it is racist when the racists are saying that they see it as racist. If that is what they say they believe then that is factually what they beli

    No, I think the internet as the great equalizer, and need organizations both-sides-ism makes it seem like this, and they love that, but the self proclaimed racists are still a very small group of cowards.

    I'm not sure why you are supporting a racist symbol, or trying to convince me or anyone reading it isn't racist. Either you like to fight very low stakes or you've given into the rhetoric that causes these things to spread (e

    Your rhetoric is part of the problem. You want me to absolve right wing extremists for some reason. It is absurd, and it's absurdity is part of its mechanism of spread. Your inquiring rhetoric is trying to minimize it as absurdity when

    Hey man I don't make this shit up, but people buy into it... Even when they too think it is BS even if just to fit in.

    I know that, and you know that, but other people don't know that. Look at cow tipping, snipe hunting, tide pods... "Everyone" knows it is all BS, and yet...

    There is a point where many don't get the memo you did however, and it becomes a thing anyway, no matter how ironic it was supposed to be. Ironic racism is still racism.

    This is a wonderfully presented article of an important aspect of the impact of symbolism in culture. This reminds me of the modified okay symbol which makes a W shape co-opted by white supremacists. Because of its generally innocuous natur

    Sort of a goal of mine has been to bounce off the ISS APRS digipeter at least, but building a satellite aiming rotator setup has been my hangup, although in theory I could try handheld yagi? I would like to make a rotating setup though for
