I'm replying to myself because re-reading this comment is sounds a little callus. While I am implying that we can't say for sure what fair looks like given human variation, we also can't say that the current distribution is f

I find shorter lines difficult to read, they require so much more eye movement than longer lines. When a site will let me I prefer the whole length of my monitor as the line length. In my experience I can read on my monitor for 12+ hours a

Studies done with adopted children appear to show that slightly less than 50% of intelligence is heritable[1]. That means that a good deal of it isn't, but to say practically undetermined seems like an exaggeration? [1] https:/&#

I'm glad I don't believe in that proverb or I'd be much more guarded against out groups.

Why would exclusive spots for top tier talent in an industry not include a genetic component when exclusive spots for top tier talent in a sport clearly does?

You can even turn off responsive design in the settings. I should have checked earlier.

I took some quick measurements. The previous version leaves 2% of my browser window as whitespace containing no images or text. By comparison, the new version is 53% whitespace. That seems pretty extreme to me.

Why is everyone moving to so much white space? I wish there was more of an emphasis on information density on the modern web.

I’m highly skeptical of Passkeys/Webauthn as it would seem to not have the same legal protections that a password has in the US. Maybe this is me becoming a conspiracy theorist.

I hate that videos appear in my feed long before they are available. I don't want to load a video only to discover it's coming in 48 hours. Just add the video to my feed 48 hours later.

Anything that reduces societal trust raises prices. Security guards and anti-theft systems have costs.

After harassment I ensure my username isn't traceable back to me anywhere. No references to a username used anywhere else and no information that is related to me.

I don't beleive people assume a closed and fair system, but instead find the fairness of the system irrelevant.

Mabye it's the expirements that changed my settings until I found the about:config way to opt out, or the whitespace heavy and unclear UI changes.

I have worked at places that have micro-repos, places that have polyrepos, and places that have monorepos. From my observation monorepos are a sign of ossification and resistantce to new patterns and new technologies.

That's how it worked out for me at the last palce I worked with this policy. Unlimited meant no days off.

A lot of technology is used to surveil and oppress us. It is nice to see a story that shows technology can also liberate.

Sadly I never got repairs done because the wait was longer than I could afford to wait. I ended up having to replace the laptops with different laptops.

I believe we would be better off as a society if we either decided it was ok, or not ok and not situational. In a perfect world we'd just all decide to be better people and not racist without external pressure, but that seems like a pi

I believe that the existence of protected classes means you do not enjoy the freedom of association you rightfully should, and that either extreme would be preferable to the middle ground where only some expression overrides freedom of asso

We should have all of those, but right now we have those asymmetrically depending on your cause.

It seems like that is an oversight we should fix.

There is no way to be reactionary without being a white nationalist and the two are interchangeable but you chose one instead of the other for some reason?

by ohCh6zos 4y ago
Why is it bad if it pulls people to the reactionary? We might as well say the glamorization of cosmopolitanism is a recruiting tool for neoliberalism.

That feels right, I guess I just check yes, and as long as I never sell it, it's not really an issue.

This is an exceptionally uncharitable interpretation of GP's statement.
