This definitely seems like a good place for either regulation or unionization. Unionization would likely be difficult though due to the low barrier of entry for the job - artificia…

The scenario at hand in the OP, where a cop murders a completely innocent man through mistake. I agree that a ban on guns would likely solve the problem in the video that you poste…

Does anyone have a link to how to go about generating an image like this? Did the writer hand make the individual polygons or generate it from an image of themselves?

> does he lose all his rights? You've just created a pure strawman. Cops should never lose their rights! I am not making such an argument, and I don't see how you got there from my…

I have a real hard time caring about cops' fears in such a scenario. Innocent until proven guilty is a time-honored maxim of the U.S. justice system, and a cop deciding to kill you…

> the phenomenon is rather that HN readers with strong ideological feelings tend to see the site as dominated by, and the mods in cahoots with, their ideological enemies. I agree, …

Hacker News has a libertarian leaning ideology among both its community and site-runners. As a result, things like deleted posts, changed thread titles, etc could be seen by folks …

Stereotypes typically don't come from anything. The "stereotype" of an Asian male is someone who * can't talk to women * doesn't understand social skills * has poor hygiene / manne…

The statement assumes that one considers the poetic qualities as significant as marketability - not useful . You seem to have misunderstood the creators' intentions as they have no…

I was not attempting to convince anyone. The above poster claimed that safe spaces were meant to "prolong the coddling" of childhood, yet this directly contradicts the history of c…

> the less successful ones stay in college and promote "safe spaces" to prolong the coddling. This is not in any way what a safe space is - stop promoting this completely inaccurat…

Pretty much. The counter-argument goes that people "should know" and be responsible with their money, but I'm not a fan of that argument. It relies on people being perfectly ration…

Just look up the EA Star Wars Battlefront 2 stuff. It's a big old mess. You pay money for crates which randomly drop items that improve the game experience. Some people consider it…

I do not consider Nazi ideology an opinion. Their ideas are purely based on maintaining a power dynamic. There's no logic or legitimacy to their ideas, and thus they are not opinio…

> the relevant fields are in the middle of a reproducibility crisis largely due to their political confirmation bias. As someone who works very closely with academics (specifically…

I completely agree with you, however I find this bit a little mysterious: > With facebook actively suppressing certain ideologies The only ideologies I've heard of Facebook suppres…

> Yet, there wasn't any politics in it, was tehre? That's not the point. There's better ways to express the fact that your post isn't political than implying that people are just "…

> No politics here (though I’m sure if you squint you can find a way to accuse me of racism or sexism or something) I am incredibly skeptical of anyone who starts an article like t…

Pretty common to use that terminology in the sciences and government work for small "kernels" of code that does one thing really well. EX: Water simulation codes, cryptographic cod…

> Taxes are just too darn complicated! While I understand this sentiment, I feel that a complicated tax code (or legal code in general) is just where countries end up going as they…

> RSS is difficult to implement? Since when? He didn't say that - just that people find JSON exciting. There are many things that have been rewritten in JSON just to become popular…

Ah I slightly misunderstood your position - I apologize. Personally I find the topics highly related in my mind and so my mind made a jump in your argument I should not have. I do …

> the first few replies were vaguely insinuating I might somehow be sympathetic to neonazis. Please stop being so defensive. People dog-piled on you because they thought you said s…

Just to be clear for those coming to this after the fact: the reaction was not violent and immediate. Your comment was not nuanced. And it was very much not sensitive. You attempte…
