Yeah, this reads like clickbait. The Verge has really gone down the tubes, I never go there anymore - too consumed with political causes. My guess is that some boss ordered the wri…

Can someone ELI5 on what a NAS is and why someone would need a NAS?

I have worked at a big tech company like this and it was truly one of the most inclusive and welcoming environments I have ever been in. Of course, a lot comes down to your manager…

I dunno, dude - I think to the rational folk on HN it does indeed seem hyperbolic, but there are a lot of really pissed off people who are a little beyond the point of rationality.…

Yeah. The thing that makes me believe this most of all is the fact that I have had very similar experiences in my education, and I too would be terrified to attach my real name to …

I think in general China could easily play a winning hand here by refusing to give into this nonsense. Not just in education, but in a corporate setting, too. Honestly, it probably…

I'm definitely against any tweets calling for the murder of anybody, I'll say that. But the "anti-harm" movement is not as benign as you think. For instance, see the firing of Davi…

I think your argument is legitimate, but I do think there's a distinction between naturally letting words fall out of favor and forcing it. Words naturally fall out of favor when p…

Well said, and I like the quote. I think it's telling that the top response to your comment completely dodges the substance of the comment and just attacks your "diction." It seems…

But here's the problematic part of your statement: "Politically correct mobs are a form of this - they are ugly and indiscriminate, but effective at shaping culture by stigmatizing…

The problem is that these rules worked in prior times, but social media has given the offended the power to group up with 10000 other people who would be similarly offended. And on…
