A lot of that "thinking" is either wishful, or sculpted by people who need post-racial apathy to commit their very racially motivated crimes.

>Did we learn nothing about history while our young people studied algorithms? Did taking "Computer Science" classes seclude us from the reality of how all of this would be used? O…

No, but I don't see that as being remotely similar to someone who roleplays a bigot during sex. If I had a friend who liked to dress up like Himmler and get roundly spanked, I'm no…

I suspect we'll do it here in the US too eventually, under a "national security" umbrella to, "protect ourselves some foreign cyber-terror" or such nonsense. The UK will probably d…

>And before you tell me Tor is nothing more than a privacy tool, remember that most sites ban Tor exits because the majority of users are troublemakers. So... don't tell you the tr…

So often you get stories in which a certain type of person cries, "Thought Police!" as a way to deflect from the core issues, but... this really is an example of that. As you say, …

Dan, I'm sorry that you've taken my attempts at diplomacy as a declaration of ignorance. However diverse a billion people may be, that diversity is limited when a requirement of th…

It might, but I think the current climate in much of the Islamic world, while not the crazed image many have, is actually pretty brutal to people within the religion who are seen a…

...Not to mention that a ton of staff would probably bail before working in the Uber "family".

Of which the largest government body is... the military. "Healthcare" is the largest expenditure, but largely to a collection of unconnected private industry... the military is a d…

To be clear, I was hyperbolically trying to make that exact point... I'm not truly suggesting death as an option.

>On average, the people being arrested are more likely to attack the cops. Compared to... people with no contact with the police? You cant actually be saying that the average arres…

There is a certain irony, given that "The Pentagon" has become at least roughly synonymous with, "Unbelievably bloated and corrupt". If the F-35 were a privately funded venture, ev…

You have to wonder if the bright young things who've been "disrupting" food really understand just how poisonously hard the food service industry is? Even if all they ever did was …

To be fair, I'm not sure that Islam is too enthusiastic about atheists proclaiming for it either... to put it mildly.

Aggressively enforcing rules of various subreddits, no actual skullduggery that I've seen at least. So, while normally a subreddit might allow a repost, or a topic to be covered by…

Compared to the GP's "Jewish men..." notion, as though that were a useful group descriptor when it comes to behaviors. So, I suppose... compared to the often monolithic notions of …

That could just be a matter of attempts at a crackdown failing spectacularly. Reddit mods have been pretty aggressive in trying to prune United stories, without actually blocking o…

Hmmm... do you have any first-order relatives who's names begin with "Count" or "Duke", or something along those lines? Kidding aside though, what an amazing machine; wouldn't it b…

>Yes, and probably stop enriching anyone. But again, i could argue literally the same thing about startups or anything else HN cares about, and it makes about as much sense (since …

...Really? I'm more willing than most to be skeptical of Musk and his ventures, but this is just silly. Tesla is in a make-or-break phase of their business, and I'm sure that emplo…
