If your definition of racist is "someone who thinks there may be genetic differences between races" then do you apply this same logic consistently to sexism too? Am I sexist for su…

>You will only ever get name calling, knee-jerk responses and purely emotional, speculative arguments here Thank you for so perfectly proving my point

The data that you posted shows two extremely clear trends, gun violence in Philly is commited overwhelmingly by men, and overwhelmingly by black people. Why men? Well I think its p…

Do you have these statistics? Or are you just making this data up because you want it to be true?

>85% of murders committed by blacks, the next highest ethic group only being 9% Now compare this to the demographics of Norway

>Also, there should be more ways to "praise" a project. Maybe github should implement a "feedback" tab where people can post their experiences of using the project. Perhaps some of…

I would encourage all developers to download a Commodore 64 emulator and spend some time learning 6502 assembly. There is no memory protection and no software abstractions. You dis…

I think programmers need to start taking a lot more responsibility for what we release into the world. If you don't think your software solves a real problem, or will improve peopl…

You are just making this up. Nowhere in the article is there any mention of them requesting data of 1,000 users to find one criminal. What the article actually says: >From January …

I am greatly opposed to mass surveillance, especially when justified by some immaterial bogeyman such as "stopping terrorism". However in this case, illegal immigration is a legiti…

>Google hands over data of criminals to law enforcement What is the story here?

>calls for the killing of babies if they where jewish, black etc. How is this in any way equivalent? Being jewish or black are not disabilities. Downs syndrome is a horrible condit…

When I looked into doing this before I think the ultimate issue was that the C specification doesn't even give you any way to check the overflow flag. So even if you knew your spec…

This is scary to think about. The upside of third-party trackers is that you can completely block all of them by just blocking third-party javascript. What are we going to do once …

>The difference is that with a human near by I feel like I am being judged and when they are not I do not feel that kind of pressure I will offer you another perspective to conside…

>goes to show you have to encrypt EVERYTHING at rest, even file names Or just block all third-party javascript. Facebook code shouldn't be running anywhere aside from facebook.com

Tracking is not ethical. Corporations only get away with it because most users don't realise it's even happening. If you went into a retail store and an employee followed you aroun…

The rich aren't, but the companies they run practically are, from a political standpoint. Basically all large, multinational corporations now make their company logo rainbow for pr…

As a white dude, I feel extremely proud because my ancestors abolished slavery. Oh wait no I don't, because feeling shame or accomplishment for something your ancestors did hundred…

The capitalize on it because it keeps everyone focused on white vs black instead of rich vs poor. They want you constantly thinking about race instead of thinking about wealth ineq…

I think it's a combination of both: a) modern corporate culture trying to make employees take on the company they work for as part of their personal identity b) young, liberal peop…

No, this is a terrifying precedent to set. You are completely inverting democracy. If 98% of people vote that something isn't offensive, and 2% vote that it is, and your takeaway f…

You are right that nobody is being physically forced to make this change, but I think you vastly underestimate the power of propaganda and social pressure. In today's hyper-sociali…
