No they stormed the capitol because they refused to accept the outcome of an election after their candidate availed himself of every legal avenue of challenge. Fuck those people. T…

Re-read what they wrote.

Part of the challenge is that most people won't like coffee's actual taste. Good coffee is best drank black. Once you start adding milk and sweetener the coffee taste itself goes t…

Not a protest per se, but riots did result from police violence against the gay community. https://www.history.com/topics/gay-rights/the-stonewall-riot...

You have a really low bar for freedom if the destruction of property is all it takes for you to start justifying unmarked federal agents grabbing people off the street. Further the…

No it would not necessarily be better, on balance. A critique of a system is not meant to be an attack on it nor an argument that there is necessarily some other better system. In …

It's hilarious to me how hard people keep pimping this notion of people abandoning the SF Bay Area. As long as I've visited this site there's been a constant rotation of here's why…

No I know how you meant it but I was indeed precise in how I meant it. I meant specifically that for many of the Libertarian set it is a belief in the theological sense.

This comment is exactly what I'm talking about. The free market theory, if we want to call it that, has always also carried the implicit 'in the long run' and this is what we're qu…

How does that line of thinking work with something like baby formula? If I have a hungry baby now, what good does it do me if I have to wait two weeks because I'm priced out of bab…

Unfortunately, it's pretty much a religious belief for many people where they can't acknowledge any kind of edge case where the market mechanism breaks down.

It's so interesting how these surveillance/data-gathering companies (Palantir, Banjo, Anduril) are founded by right-wing types. Professed small government libertarians building tha…

No, it depends you see, when minorities claim police misconduct, those claims require evidence before we accept them. In the case of a 'former' Neo-Nazi claiming Jewish heritage we…

I think they mean to say that sometimes you might want the visual structure of a table but you don't necessarily want it announced as a table via screen readers since it isn't data…

This is what happens to every tech company once they enter growth mode and bring in a ton of mercenary sales people from Oracle and the like. The irony here is people point to soci…

Your comment made me curious and I ended up finding a great article on the story behind the layoffs at SS&C. https://www.thepitchkc.com/news/feature-story/article/210195...

Perhaps it's me that misunderstood, but I took that 'nothing shameful' to be more about the 'calloused hands' portion of the sentence. It was meant, I think, to be a poetic way of …

The word you're looking for is 'gals' but people stopped using it for some reason.

Yeah this really stuck out to me. Why does Joist require top talent anyways? It seems to me that the technical work they'd need is pretty routine web application building. I really…
