I am honored to have been mistaken for boilerplate! Thank you. In truth, this morning I woke up, read the claim, "I don't think China is any more evil than the US," and decided to examine it. What followed was 100% my own wor

Today is a Lucky 10000 day for you. We'll start with human rights in China [0] and look at some highlights. (Yes, every citation is to Wikipedia today. You've earned it.) * There are millions of people imprisoned in China. Could

Hi! I'm further left than most progressives. Our society is not homogenous enough to make a statement like "white supremacist society" substantial. However, there are three closely-related truths which are pretty obvious ab

Oregonian here. Yes, she was talking about WW2 concentration camps. It's disgusting that you've forgotten that, during WW2, we ran concentration camps too, for Japanese-Americans and others who we failed to trust in spite of t

You obviously are not familiar with the USA's Constitution. Please re-read it. In particular, Article Two, Section Four; "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on I

The president is not a CEO; the executive branch is not a corporation. [0] Moreover, the executive branch does not need to be "run" from the top; instead, it operates in a distributed and semi-autonomous fashion. Think not of the

In the USA, at least, there is a singular problem: In the early 70s, the HMO Act and similar legislation was passed, bringing in the HMO-oriented system of healthcare. A silver bullet would consist of introducing a single-payer system and w

Why gaslight? Can the V toolchain translate C++ to V? It could in February [0] and May [1]. You had only to document it [2]; will the feature be available at the end of the week? [0] http://web.archive.org/web/201902261

Language author here; I work on a modern flavor of a classic 90s language. There are three problems. The first is that closed languages die [0]. V is not Free Software, which is disappointing but not atypical; however, V is not even open so

There are several rings of anonymous HN accounts which are guarded such that anybody (who knows a bit of a trick) can use them to post whatever they like. These accounts aren't official, but grey; officially, there's not really a

Sure, it's a slogan, but you don't really have any arguments against it. The nature of the argument is slippery-slope, or syllogistic: If freedom of speech disappears, then freedom of religion goes with it. There's actually a

More folks should read the 10-K [0], as it is pretty interesting. Among other things, it does say that content-blocking tools pose a threat to Google's advertising business, and that Chrome is important to Google's product lineup.

Keep reading; further down the thread, Rob "Commander" Pike found it "a surprise" that Google trademarked Go. Maybe Pike feels that Go isn't Google's language, but it certainly seems that Google does indeed hav

Well, yes, colonialism is a major issue in the modern history of China; China acts like a colonizer towards its border territories. There's something fascist about ethnic cleansing, about re-education camps, about disappearing citizens

This is an interesting cryptofascist argument: The world has meaning, and denying that meaning is an artifice which leads to alienation and atomization. A counterpoint: There is obviously no such thing as meaning in the traditional/r

The Lojban community is regularly asked about Duolingo courses. The sad fact is that Duolingo makes money off of volunteer-contributed courses, and as a result, we cannot incentivize any Lojbanists to take the time required to produce Duoli
