If your way of talking to kids gets you fired, it was atrocious in the first place. "It takes a village to raise a child." is not about carte blanche to abuse any kid that you encounter. The saying is about kids watching and learn

I have seen people who don't follow news confidently say fairly absurd things. They tend to assume things are kind of like they were those 15 years ago and don't want to believe a party of or a country or a situation could have ch

One data point is that Stonewall where pride started in 1969 was run by mafia. I do not think it is safe to assume that mafias stopped owning bars in 10 years. Especially considering violent crime peaked in early 90ties.

The whole point is to imply you are killing a baby. Like literally. The only reason for that law is that. There is no medical reason. It does not address rational part of decisiom making either. It is an attempt at forced emotional guilting

It is a software system, not a person. AI is not "escaping sandbox". You have either misconfigured tool, bug in your tool or someone made it to hack the side and then it is a crime. Your A-F chain is exactly the same issue as a pr

First of all, "lunatics" are on the rise. They are largely winning and one of contributing factors is that non-lunatics did not opposed them for the sake of peace again and again. Second, effects of climate change will just get w

Hegseth deliberately closed the unit that used to ensure it wont happen. The efforts to avoid civilian causaulities were deemed woke, weak and literally unmanly. And administration repeatedly threatened to destroy civilian targets.

The culture war does not speeps into the translation itself. There is literally no culture war in the book itself. Not even a hint of it. What she wrote in the last paragraph in the review is response to the usual suspects working hard to m

Talking like a classic wont make you sound smart. It will make you sound outdated or even unable to express yourself clearly. For the record, I liked reading (some) classics. But, recommending Shakespeare dramas or Plato when the student wa

I remember a "beer test" as a hiring practice recommended on HN and blogs. And pointifications about how culture fit is important. And effectively mandatory games playing after work. And "united meritocracy" slogan bulls

Vigorous repetition of position when you are facing opposition that vigorously repeats their position ... is the only option. What you suggest leads to a word where only deniers tall, thus only their side is heard and thus they win. And yes

Then again, the very same people complain about GDPR not being technically super specific. At some point we have to accept the pattern. People with ideological objections against any limits at all will try to frame any regulation as stupid,
