This comment is parroting Chomsky critics that stretched pretty damn hard to find some way to defame him. He compared the US media coverage of 2 similar genocides, nowhere does he claim either was "just US propaganda", nor does he

Not that I think it'll pass but would that make healthcare eligibility at 32 hours too? Seems like this would just make places cut hours to avoid it. I'd really love to see healthcare completely separated from work in my life time

It never really was. Reasonable conversations were being had, just not on polarized platforms. People's knee-jerk reactions to downvoting and "cancelling" every thing that mentioned it, in good faith or bad, last year was a d

He wasn't prosecuted by the Southern District of New York because the case was flimsy AF. So the Chevron paid-for judge "took the rare step of appointing a private law firm, Seward & Kissel, to prosecute Mr. Donziger in the na

Find places that have already been bitten by off-shoring. I've lost jobs to off-shoring and offered my job back a few years later 3 times already in my career.

They've already made a ton of money [1]. I'm sure there will be a few more false starts to grab some more, and then it will just end up in the grift recycling bin for reuse in 2024. [1] https://www.reuters.com/tech

How private do people actually think it is? It's a completely opaque system, 0% privacy should be assumed by default.

Discourse is pointless if no action is ever taken. The arguments on both sides are centuries old at this point. This law is actively doing harm. The time for talk is over.

Would you have guessed a 60 year old woman with the job title of “socialite” would be involved in sex trafficking? No matter who it is, I'd like to know what reason someone might have to abandon 15 million karma.

And it's a never ending cycle. I get older but the CTOs stay the same age. They kick out the old IT, hire some foreign Sales Force squad to rebuild everything. It ends up costing 5 years worth of salary of the old team in just 1 year.

My questions is why was it posted on HN? Especially today. Unless OP gives a compelling reason, I have to assume it was to further encourage that rumor.

They're extremely active on the voting "issue", in a very "right-wing" way.

I don't think anyone really expects to convince racists, sexists, homophobic, rapey, violent, narcissist to change their ways. Ignoring them is obviously bad so there's nothing left to do but to try and make sure their, technicall

Impossible was a poor word choice. I meant like no one could honestly make the promises, because no one can predict how people and situations will change over a life time. Maybe if the oaths contained an "unless you become an asshole&q

The oaths made in a typical marriage are impossible, dangerous ideals that, once made, can guilt people into sticking to bad situations. Bad people don't tend to go around being bad unless they think they can get away with it. Once som

Doesn't matter which situation is closer, they're both nothing like a marriage. There are more than 2 ways to think about it. If marriages are like a car, then there's also the option to ditch it and not get a new one. If it&

Any decent RSS reader will find that link for you if you point it at the url that gets you the html. Twitter and Facebook no longer support it because they're predatory, I take it as just one more indication the entire platform should

Truth: The body of real things, events, and facts. This is me immediately and strongly denounce the things done in the name of "truth" that I think shouldn't be. I said "It's not always completely knowable". Yo

So, in short, I'm stupid, you're smart, and "both sides". Terrible is a very broad word. Who's terrible? Why are they terrible? How are their terrible actions addressed by their own? Are they held personally account

Until you look how each side tends to react when the most extreme elements of their party do something crazy and outlandish. One tends to immediately hold individuals accountable for their crazy actions, the other tends to give them a promo

Unfortunately, I think, "conservative" has become nearly synonymous with bad faith arguments, blatant lies, racism, libel, violence, and other bad things no one really complains about being "censored" unless it's fr

Structured plain text sounds kind of self-contradictory. Obviously I don't know what you worked on but could the issues you ran into maybe have been easier to work with if the data were stored in multiple files and folders instead of t
