> They can't possibly all be violent bigots. And yet Parlor is being de-platformed specifically because it refuses to police the portion of the conservative conversation that is so. It's not because they believe in smaller go

No they stormed the capitol because they refused to accept the outcome of an election after their candidate availed himself of every legal avenue of challenge. Fuck those people. The rhetoric that drove them was Trump himself and his stooge

Part of the challenge is that most people won't like coffee's actual taste. Good coffee is best drank black. Once you start adding milk and sweetener the coffee taste itself goes to the background. People do a similar thing with t

Not a protest per se, but riots did result from police violence against the gay community. https://www.history.com/topics/gay-rights/the-stonewall-riot...

You have a really low bar for freedom if the destruction of property is all it takes for you to start justifying unmarked federal agents grabbing people off the street. Further the leadership in these states already have sufficient resource

No it would not necessarily be better, on balance. A critique of a system is not meant to be an attack on it nor an argument that there is necessarily some other better system. In fact, I would argue that the difficulty with having these co

It's hilarious to me how hard people keep pimping this notion of people abandoning the SF Bay Area. As long as I've visited this site there's been a constant rotation of here's why people are leaving.. Feels like a good

This comment is exactly what I'm talking about. The free market theory, if we want to call it that, has always also carried the implicit 'in the long run' and this is what we're quibbling about. Natural disasters, pandem

How does that line of thinking work with something like baby formula? If I have a hungry baby now, what good does it do me if I have to wait two weeks because I'm priced out of baby formula today? In emergency situations we pretty much

Unfortunately, it's pretty much a religious belief for many people where they can't acknowledge any kind of edge case where the market mechanism breaks down.

It's so interesting how these surveillance/data-gathering companies (Palantir, Banjo, Anduril) are founded by right-wing types. Professed small government libertarians building that very same government's intelligence appar

No, it depends you see, when minorities claim police misconduct, those claims require evidence before we accept them. In the case of a 'former' Neo-Nazi claiming Jewish heritage we accept the claim without evidence.

I think they mean to say that sometimes you might want the visual structure of a table but you don't necessarily want it announced as a table via screen readers since it isn't data that's being represented.

It's occurred to me for some time now that design has suffered from globalization in that while surely there is some good in the more rapid exchange of ideas, there has also been this hyper convergence in design where it all just kind

This is what happens to every tech company once they enter growth mode and bring in a ton of mercenary sales people from Oracle and the like. The irony here is people point to social justice activity as the reason for decline but really all

Look at the authors' page and all five of her articles are about people moving from the northeast to the south. Clearly an agenda.

Your comment made me curious and I ended up finding a great article on the story behind the layoffs at SS&C. https://www.thepitchkc.com/news/feature-story/article/210195...

Perhaps it's me that misunderstood, but I took that 'nothing shameful' to be more about the 'calloused hands' portion of the sentence. It was meant, I think, to be a poetic way of referring to people who perform man

Yeah this really stuck out to me. Why does Joist require top talent anyways? It seems to me that the technical work they'd need is pretty routine web application building. I really don't see Joist attracting top-talent in SV anywa

I stand corrected on Boston! I'm in SF so maybe I'm showing my lack of awareness a bit here. I'll definitely be paying more attention to Boston. Thanks for the correction.

Oh I absolutely agree. That's why I meant to limit that to the national sense of 'we'. Of course internally we still have our debates about spending and certainly other states would prefer if Silicon Valley where part of thei

There are a couple things missing from this article that really need to be fleshed out: 1. You're comparing the unicorns which is like comparing the top of the pyramid without measuring the base. In other words, where are the figures f
