How exactly would you confirm - beyond any doubt - that contagion happened outside? Most people live most of their lives inside a building of one sort or another, so it'd be almost impossible to 'document' a case of outside t

Then you shouldn't use qualifiers such as 'poor' to describe their risk assessment. Don't give the idiots pushing anti-masking rhetoric in this forum more wind than they deserve by propagating their memes.

by _euac 5y ago
Why 'poor'? Have you factored in everything going on that person's life? Do you know if they have a friend or relative who might be at higher risk? What if they have a young kid and they don't want to risk it? What if th

Meanwhile, Satya Nadella isn't flashy and Jeff Bezos hasn't been involved in any kind of keynote speech on anything related to Amazon in years. So my point stands: flashiness doesn't correlate with performance.

Meh, the outrage crowd in Hacker News is ridiculous. Any level of effort to make a company more inclusive as criticized as the company being 'too woke'. Meanwhile, Google's market cap has exploded in recent years. Lots of peo

Meanwhile, Google's market cap has tripled during his tenure as CEO. Maybe being flashy and showy isn't all that important after all.

The changes can be explained by two simple factors, without the need for some grand nefarious conspiracy: * The CDC's default position is caution * We know more now than we did in the past In February, we realized vaccinated people cou

This seems like a very arbitrary and capricious partition between those doing something for 'clout' and those doing it because they can't help themselves. Do you think the people now being attacked in this thread because they

While you might not be calling for ostracizing the cancellers, plenty of people out there are calling for exactly that. There's a number of terms being used ('SJW', 'woke', 'cancel culture', 'cultur

I'm always curious about this line of thinking. What exactly do you think people are gaining by - say - denouncing sexism or other kinds of awful behavior? What's so wolfish about that?

Yep, it isn't cheap, but compared to the peace of mind of knowing you won't die from ingesting some crap, $20 sounds like a deal! Kidding aside, I'm not sure what margins they are running on. I can't imagine they are sel

Buildings? No. Democratic process and elected leaders? Definitely. You are trying to downplay this as if it was just some goons setting an empty Denny's on fire, but you know exactly what was happening and who was in that building at t

So your argument is that the violence would've been justified if they had managed to pull the coup. Got it.

It's a trope at this point, but when BLM protested in Washington, there were hundreds of National Guardsmen guarding the entrance. When Trump's supporters broke in, the Capitol Police didn't do anything until one of them got

It will. Plenty of people in my own family who've been Trump staunch Trump supporters through thick and thin were appalled by what happened on Wednesday. If the Republicans want to heal the country, they have to reassure these people

I keep hearing this argument, to which I have to answer: at no point, ever, in 2020 or 2021 did the other side - which you are trying to equate with Trump - organize an attack on the United States Congress while the totality of our electe

The only chance in hell this country has of surviving is if Republicans widely condemn Trump's behavior and make an example of other agitators like Rudy Giuliani and Alex Jones who whipped these people into a frenzy. If there are no

As I understand it, they are essentially very different technologies. GraphQL focuses on providing a DSL for requesting subsets of data from a web endpoint that "talks" JSON. gRPC-Web is just a wrapper around gRPC so that you can

Oh man, yeah... we have literal Nazis rallying with the tacit approval of the president (BTW, using the same anti-Semitic rhetoric you mention), but Antifa are the Nazis now. WOW, the cognitive dissonance is so strong, you'll blow a

But somehow you don't consider being "anti-Islam" (read: anti-Muslim, because people with that set of prejudices is not going to be threading too thin) racist?

Would you say being "anti-Jewish" is racist or bigoted?

Please point me to posts on those subreddits calling for a bloody revolution and the killing of the bourgeoisie? There's been this new meme circulating on right-wing circles that if you are not a card-carrying alt-righter then you must

Maybe, just maybe, it's because the "far left" subreddit doesn't have content calling for ethnic cleansing? Just saying.

Yeah, this whole "Nazi flags == rainbow flag" or "this is a slippery slope" thing the right-wing has been pushing is ludicrous. There's nothing controversial in saying that Nazi ideals are really fucked up . Porn a
