The sad part is that even when they forget to turn location tracking off and it says "Moscow" right there on their Facebook page most people don't notice. They don't check the source, they just re-post it on their own feed.
On the one hand it's wrong for liberals to demand acknowledgement of people's different circumstances. Everyone should be treated the same, for fairness.
On the other hand, liberals think everyone is the same and behaves the same way, and try to enact policies based on this assumption. People are different and that must be acknowledged.
You don't need to know race to be racist. It can often be inferred from other things like address or occupation or name.
It can also happen with feedback loops. Chief of police has a limited budget and sees that a predominantly black area has a 5% higher crime rate, so decides to divert more resources there. Because there are more police the the crime detection rate goes up, and now there is 15% higher crime on paper, with more black people being arrested. The cops get the feeling that those people are more likely to be criminals, start doing crack downs and harsher treatment as a result. It's deliberately racist, but ends up affecting mostly black people.
More accurately, western companies are free to use Baidu Maps. It's just that Google etc. are but allowed to create detailed maps.
It's a big problem, no doubt. Even for foreigners traveling in China, they can't get good English maps. For developers the English documentation is lacking.
Petrol vendors certainly can ban you from refueling. For years they have had number plate recognition cameras to detect people who drive off without paying.
Religions in Japan tend to be a lot more pragmatic. Even with accessible venues a lot of elderly people were not attending funerals because of frailty. This solves that problem for them.
Also the Shinto priests will bless anything. Most new buildings, trains, road junctions etc get blessed. Death is usually handled by Buddhists though. People participate in both religions, although not very seriously.
Whose word shall I take on this, noted asshat Vox Day or Wikipedia? Wikipedia says:
"The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely defined group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of white nationalism. White supremacist[1] Richard Spencer initially promoted the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism and did so, according to the Associated Press, to disguise overt racism, white supremacism, neo-fascism and neo-Nazism.[2][3][4] The term drew considerable media attention and controversy during and after the 2016 United States presidential election.[5]"
That seems closer to my experience of the alt-right.
In that case any business could make some trivial artistic expression and put up a "no dogs, no n*ggers, no Irish" sign. I'm not an expert on US law, but that doesn't seem right.
Anyway, it's not about compelling them to make a cake. Criminals can't be compelled to apologise and show remorse, but if they don't the punishment will be harsher. This is punishing unacceptable behaviour.
Slashdot Mirror
More people use social media than read newspapers in the UK.
It's just one small part of the larger effort, which includes banning sales of most fossil fuel cars and reducing other sources of pollution.
It's better than doing nothing, but haters gotta hate I guess.
The rational thing to do is look at the evidence. There is evidence that Russia is influencing people in the West.
Is it really surprising that Russia continues to use propaganda, especially now that we build these effective tools to disseminate it?
The sad part is that even when they forget to turn location tracking off and it says "Moscow" right there on their Facebook page most people don't notice. They don't check the source, they just re-post it on their own feed.
What-about-ism. This kind of crap is what lead to the murder of a British Member of Parliament. It's not trivial or unimportant.
Paid trolls confirmed to be working for the Russian government on Moscow time.
It's because they use undersized batteries. Other manufacturers fit bigger batteries that can supply the necessary current even when they get old.
I'm not sure why they do it. Their phones are not the thinnest... Maybe they want to second source the battery so can't use high end ones?
Print it off and give it to your boss when they ask why you are browsing Slashdot again.

Both of those things can't be true.

ASOP or Lineage OS, delete the stuff you don't want, build. It's the best and only option.
On the other hand, going to court means discovery, and most companies are not keen on that.
Wasn't Wannacry based on stolen NSA exploits?
So are they saying that NK stole US cyber weapons, or did they just buy them on the dark web like anyone else can?
If you call this a life...
They are getting better. Britain First was banned today. Trump re-tweeted them recently, but I don't think they will ban him.

The idea of frameworks and new super high level languages is to make it so people don't have to understand the hard stuff to write good software.
Even the best programmers struggle to write crypto, for example. Most people would be crazy to write their own, better to use a well tested library.
We need to make better frameworks.
Similar to Slashdot. Phases like "male feminist" attract immediate down-mods, regardless of context or message content.
EVs come with portable chargers too.
Petrol vendors certainly can ban you from refueling. For years they have had number plate recognition cameras to detect people who drive off without paying.
Also, naming them directly has probably hurt world wide sales, so they will argue that it was unjustified and seek reparations.
Mostly correct, except for the bit about hiding the accused's name. Some countries have that, many don't.
It's a shame it's not Europe wide.
