    70 million people in America are obese. Eating food doesn't make you obese, it's over indulgence of food and using food as a coping mechanism.

    The term "unconscious bias" is based on the (false) assumption that every group of human is exactly identical. It is 100% a political term that is shoved at people to make them fee…

    I think one of the most egregious examples of this is Snapchat Inc's official mission statement being: We contribute to human progress by empowering people to live in the moment Fr…

    "open source" and "free software" are two words for the exact same thing. Both of them are pretty poor descriptors. "open source" doesn't convey the legal freedom you are granted (…

    Disc brakes were available in 1975, wide tires before that. Dropper posts I consider to be a gimmick. 1x drivetrains do have some drawbacks, but I consider them overall to be a goo…

    I don't think there's any market. The only people who buy macs are people that have no intention of playing videogames on that system. I personally transitioned from Windows -> Lin…

    The vendors are the GPU manufacturers. And both AMD and Nvidia offer full support for OpenGL and Vulkan. There is no reason why I should have to use a different APIs to access the …

    So which way do you want it then? Multiculturalism, with all the "nonsense" that comes from those cultures, or do you just want every brown person to come to america and start acti…

    I think you should read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31543498 You consider "true counterculture" things like LGBT and veganism, that are openly supported by every western g…

    I think the problem is that javascript has stopped being one language of many and has become the language. There are hundreds of thousands of developers now who only know javascrip…

    We have known that certain plastics mimic estrogen in the body for well over 10 years now. BPA is banned for use in baby products in most western countries for this exact reason, b…

    It is far more empathetic and fair to acknowledge people's genetic disadvantages and adjust expectations accordingly, than to demand everyone competes at the same level. Which is w…
