That's cold blooded. I'm sure a lot of good people were financially devastated by that poor decision. A hopelessly bleak existence can do a lot to your capacity for rational thought. A few people I know asked me if I thought they

Interesting. Maybe Facebook didn't like being dragged through the mud by news organizations. Maybe Facebook is hurting them back by asphyxiating them. I can't say I'd feel very bad about that if that were the case.

Those two departments couldn't possibly be related. It seems unfair to base judgement on the entire company for that.

Quite possibly the most interesting comment in this thread but no details. I'd much rather hear about the incredible hoops Disney may be jumping through to make all this work. I've always been fascinated by Disney's vast arra

It's a mixture of misrepresentation and denigration.

Something about the tech crowd. So smart in general but has such a hard time with how words are used by people. Free, stealing, both words that for some reason whenever used in an article, someone feels compelled to insist on their own defi

Nobody here cares except the people who you demand care. So you changed your sex. Okay. It's not the actual topic and no one here really gives a shit.

You're not on trial for referring to someone as a dude. It's an old as dirt tactic to put you on the defensive.

My initial reaction to this was "Pewdiepie is involved in some kind of racism thing? Hadn't heard of that." So I switch over to the YouTube app in my TV and search his name. The first result is "Is Pewdiepie a racist?&qu

It's mostly comments like this that made me stop wanting to contribute in a meaningful way a few years back. This thread shows there's a capacity for the community to laugh at itself. We need that. Whatever your beef is, please fi

Very well put. The crux of so much of this comes down to business interests. When you finally wade through the bullshit and get to the heart of it, it's about money. Not ideals or the end of the free world. Good luck fighting this figh

Of all the things the world has to offer to be cynical about... this is your beef.

I don't believe that figure at all for the general populace.

"More than doubled" doesn't mean much if it's 0.0000001% to 0.0000002%. It certainly wouldn't refute what I said.

Reading a couple of slides in, this report applies to Asia-Pacific demographics.

I don't have those numbers. I know there have been some publications lately that suggest there is an increase, which make sense since I doubt the number would decrease, but like browser usage stats, those numbers are heavily dependent

The percentage of visitors with an ad blocker depends on your site's audience. Outside of computer geeks and gamers, almost no one uses ad blockers. I wouldn't buy into the hype that the whole world is installing ad blockers.

I appreciate your response but I want to respectfully decline to comment further. I don't feel comfortable expressing my political opinions here. That includes things that would be tangentially related.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you don't mean to downplay what actually happened, or to imply that two wrongs make a right, or to present your limited experience of the event as evidence that it was

No, they aren't. That's the point. We're not talking about yelling over someone while they're talking or even using a private publication to present only a set of opinions that fits with some agenda. The specific point b

Make no mistake, this was absolutely about shutting people up that they don't agree with. The harassment we're actually seeing in any tangible form is coming from the rioters.

Yes, I would say that. There are a lot of people who apply different labels to the man because of what he agrees with and disagrees with. I would imagine you already have your opinion on that. It is a small fraction of the argument I just p

There was one a couple of days ago at Berkeley where 150 or so masked people smashed windows and set things on fire in an attempt to block a conservative from speaking there. Causing $100k in damage to private property in order to curtail o

I've watched a lot of these protests-turned-riot and you don't see innocent people on the sidelines being hauled away. You hardly see any of the violent and destructive agitators being hauled away. I don't think the scenario

Yeah you're right when you mention the shift in use. Reminds me of people who use "begs the question" incorrectly (basically everyone and all the time) but how most people think of it now. Very pedantic though. (Pedantic is t

It's believable though. The most powerful military force on the planet chooses something your company makes to become the standard issue. It's hard to believe that wouldn't feel humbling. What a sense of pride that must give

There aren't any ads on Netflix to begin with so I don't think that comment really nails anything. The shows are just good.

That's been the case for the most part on WrapBootstrap. Items that are very active are pushing out new BS4 versions while keeping the 3.x-based versions in the package. Some items that haven't seen an update to newer versions of

I know what you were saying. I just chimed in with my opinion. It's unexpected to have the reply to your comment not be in opposition to yours. The expectation is that I wanted to undermine your opinion.

Coincidences like that happen all the time. Attributing them to spying is a ticket to a level of paranoia that some people have a very hard time finding their way back from. It's healthier to deter them from such lines of thought when
