That's enough of what, Dan? This comment was substantive, responsive to the parent comment, and cordial; it didn't provoke a flame war nor could it be expected to, it didn't includ…

Firstly, the SPLC is a serial defamer and holds truth as a lower priority than essentially anything else. As a matter of principle, I won't defer to them on anything at this point.…

If you're referring to the sentence containing “several members have been affiliated with white supremacy”, it kinda doesn't jive with the fact that their highest leadership positi…

At the rate America's white leftists are alienating people, it may turn out to be the majority, once we cross a threshold.

The Proud Boys are not white supremacists. “Anti-racist” is brand of explicit racial discrimination dressed up as civil rights activism. And no, "we" would not "all be so much bett…

Characterizing this as “discrimination against Persian people” is extremely dishonest. There are like half a million Persian people in America alone, as many as there are Wyomingit…

We should be wary of it, but we should be more wary of the true alternatives to it. Not having cheap electricity in America is an existential threat to humanity, not having clean e…

Can we pool funds to turn this into a lawsuit?

I'm glad you have not seen the joys of the male experience with HR.

...good credit, that's how lending works.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure you're looking forward to WebTransport+QUIC as well, I know I am. I'm already doing some little tweaks to our WebSocket RPC and bulk trans…

I think they're talking about Google QUIC, which formed the basis for both IETF QUIC and HTTP/3; Facebook has been deploying Google QUIC for a long while now maybe, AFAIK. The peop…
