I am honored to have been mistaken for boilerplate! Thank you. In truth, this morning I woke up, read the claim, "I don't think China is any more evil than the US," and decided to …

Today is a Lucky 10000 day for you. We'll start with human rights in China [0] and look at some highlights. (Yes, every citation is to Wikipedia today. You've earned it.) * There a…

Hi! I'm further left than most progressives. Our society is not homogenous enough to make a statement like "white supremacist society" substantial. However, there are three closely…

Oregonian here. Yes, she was talking about WW2 concentration camps. It's disgusting that you've forgotten that, during WW2, we ran concentration camps too, for Japanese-Americans a…

You obviously are not familiar with the USA's Constitution. Please re-read it. In particular, Article Two, Section Four; "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of th…

The president is not a CEO; the executive branch is not a corporation. [0] Moreover, the executive branch does not need to be "run" from the top; instead, it operates in a distribu…

In the USA, at least, there is a singular problem: In the early 70s, the HMO Act and similar legislation was passed, bringing in the HMO-oriented system of healthcare. A silver bul…

I've not lied, nor misled, just exposed and laid bare. Let's see if you make your deadlines and get your features published.

Why gaslight? Can the V toolchain translate C++ to V? It could in February [0] and May [1]. You had only to document it [2]; will the feature be available at the end of the week? […

Language author here; I work on a modern flavor of a classic 90s language. There are three problems. The first is that closed languages die [0]. V is not Free Software, which is di…

There are several rings of anonymous HN accounts which are guarded such that anybody (who knows a bit of a trick) can use them to post whatever they like. These accounts aren't off…

Sure, it's a slogan, but you don't really have any arguments against it. The nature of the argument is slippery-slope, or syllogistic: If freedom of speech disappears, then freedom…

I fear that it's because we don't know how to make globes. [0] [0] https://corbinsimpson.com/words/globe.html

Along these lines, I don't have any words for my younger self, but I would probably thrash the hell out of him with my fists until he stopped being such a brat.

This was useful to me; I now know to bin Chick-Fil-A with the likes of Disney and Apple.

MAGA hats boldly proclaim a fascist resurrection myth, though; it's not an inaccurate banner to be put under! I can understand the unhappiness of many folks on the right. It's unpl…

More folks should read the 10-K [0], as it is pretty interesting. Among other things, it does say that content-blocking tools pose a threat to Google's advertising business, and th…

Keep reading; further down the thread, Rob "Commander" Pike found it "a surprise" that Google trademarked Go. Maybe Pike feels that Go isn't Google's language, but it certainly see…

Well, yes, colonialism is a major issue in the modern history of China; China acts like a colonizer towards its border territories. There's something fascist about ethnic cleansing…

The Chinese government has attempted to quash free speech in the USA which criticizes it. [0] is an interesting anecdote. [0] https://www.gazettetimes.com/news/local/mural-draws-fi…

What is the "leftist lens" here? Salvadorans [0] and Guatemalans [1] want to know why their citizen has died while in USA custody under curious conditions. When USA citizens die un…

Indeed, I felt like I was reading an article about how to abuse stored procedures in order to push all of the computation to the database, even the inefficient parts. [0] [0] https…

Very well. I would like to correct two misconceptions that you carry. Not only is the Fast Fourier Transform not magical, but it comes out of a straightforward elaboration of the q…
