I don't understand what Bevin means by this. Is he being sarcastic?

Whattaboutism is not a good rebuke of any of what I have listed above. The truth that your idol is a racist is very unfortunate as it is uncomfortable for you, isn't it. There are …

Wasn't the civil war a country destroying war about deplatforming slave ownership? Had the confederates truly been wiped off the face of the earth, we likely would not even be havi…

> Yes, extremist bigots do tend to favor deplatforming: they just want to deplatform a different group. > Surely we can behave better than the bigots? In a vacuum, I'd agree. As in…

I'd argue that in this case, it deplatforming absolutely worked in the way intended. There are 2 factors at play here. People who are willing to argue in good faith, and people who…

I'm sure it was successful in Vancouver. It's elsewhere where it was losing money.

Assuming now that we are past the point of no return and the world has gone mad voting in people who will do the opposite of what is necessary, what is left to do? Do we all simply…

If you took time to read the summary in that README, you'd get all the citations you could want. In the face of all the horrific reports coming from those jail cells, tell me how a…

The most obvious one and one which I believe would systematically kill illegal immigration is simply penalizing businesses which employ illegal immigrants. Either with harsh fines …

Immigration enforcement, yes. ICE immigration enforcement though? > This government agency is actively committing numerous crimes and human rights violations, in contravention of b…

Seeing that you use "woke" as a slur, I take it you are pro-ICE?

When people say this, what exactly does this mean? If you break Google up into Gmail, Search, Calendar, etc... what stops those from within, who have intimate knowledge of the inne…

Absolutely agreed. My current job is far and away the least technically challenging/complex/interesting work I've done in my 15 year career but it's the most monetarily successful …

Stickiness of brand also depends on the target audience. For brands who seek premium audiences, this is true, but for mass appeal lowest-cost persons, such as those who use all of …

I'd argue that in this case, intention is far less important than the outcome.

I think the opposite is the case here. There seems to be a deep sense of pride from Chinese in particular who are able to "game the system" so to speak. There is indeed a majority …

> if there's nothing to worry about then why spend tens of trillions of dollars to stop it? Extremely shortsighted thinking. If we're talking about cost, this should be the argumen…

You're obviously committing a straw man fallacy. But based on this line of arguing, you're implying that young blood has actual biological benefits. If so, can you back this claim …

The fundamental problem with capitalism (not just in silicon valley) is that access to capital is what defines winners and losers. Of course I'm being simplistic and there will alw…

If motorcycles were safer, I would agree with you. A fender bender or flat tire in a car is one thing. The same thing in a motorcycle is almost certainly either fatal, traumatic, o…

or a second referendum.

I agree with prototype inheritance. I don't know how you avoid `this` and `class` though, especially with all client side code heavily relying on these. I don't know about you, but…

> To game this, you would have to create tons of accounts upvoting bad arguments, downvoting good ones, and overloading the links to biased secondary sources. Like what's happening…

I think where facebook messed up is, by default (because it's the only thing that makes them valuable), set entire user permissions as public.
