I thought we immediately jumped to conclusions and blamed the commies when bad things happen? Why suddenly are the commies getting the benefit of the doubt?
Seriously? TEH ROOSHINS? That's what you're going with? You're seeing TEH ROOSHINS under the bed and blaming them for everything? Dang, people need a reality break. Cuba has raised generations of people on vicious hate for Americans and it's not really a surprise that they'd want to take out their hate on the nearest targets.
There it is AGAIN. A far leftist attempting to define right wingers. Lesson to whoever's reading this, never trust the Left to define their enemies. As was made quite clear to everyone during the election, they have no idea who the opposition is and never interact, meet, or know any of them. If they do, immediate ostracism is performed.
That thing you just did, where you list terrorist attacks alongside a man who wrote a sober, academic letter thus implying they're the same, what's that called? That's a cool tactic, I should do that too.
You have to understand, access to American entertainment isn't some kind of optional luxury. It's a requirement now. People get super angry when they can't get it. Like, more angry than when whatever corrupt government they live under puts the screws on them. American movies and TV shows are, by empirical evidence, a need, not a want. Being deprived of them makes people unhappy and negatively affects their mental health.
Wow, Godwins Law. Jesus Christ. Trump is not Hitler, he's not even a fascist. You're living in a delusion. Why haven't the roundups and camps started yet? Trump is such a terrifying fascist dictator that literally nobody fears speaking out against him on any platform.
That's not the point. It's correctly pointing out what a real repressive government looks like. It doesn't look anything like the US government. This despite educated people with advanced credentials claiming without irony that the US President is Hitler. That's what's being pointed out here.
Firefox's unwanted new features aren't due to user demand. They are due to developer demand. Developers are required to add projects to their resumes to get that next job. If they don't, they're going to have a hole in their resumes and they're going to lose out to an H1B. They MUST add these unrequested features, otherwise how on Earth are they going to survive in today's hyper-competitive environment?
To put it another way: insisting that Firefox remain a minimalist web browser is putting these people's careers in danger. What kind of developer would put up with that kind of bullshit? It's one thing to want software, it is entirely another to jeopardize your ability to keep increasing your income just so a bunch of internet nerds can have a fast, zippy browser.
You can't be a foreigner and be in the Communist Party. They had a few back in the 50s, but they were all arrested and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution for being dirty capitalist spies.
This is the progressive worst nightmare. If - and this is a big if -
Trump can do something for the blacks in the inner city? The Democratic Party is finished. What happens when blacks discover that working and earning your own bread brings pride? It brings self-respect? It is tremendously damaging to a person's pride to accept handouts. To admit that you can't help yourself. If Trump can get these people off welfare and working, they will no longer need the Democrats, and this loss of votes will be devastating. They must at all costs prevent this outcome.
Reason is Eurocentric and has been used to dominate other people, so we must go away from reason in a more subjective direction.
Criticizing Enlightenment thought has become fashionable across the political spectrum. For the past several decades, more and more academics have called reason into question, especially the sort of rationalist worldview that emerged in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
This is especially true among left-leaning, postmodern, and post-structuralist thinkers. Reason justified white supremacy and gave it scientific backing. You're getting dangerously close to the arguments of the alt-right and if I were you I'd change my tune.
Postmodernism destroyed the Enlightenment values the West was founded on. It won. Is it surprising to see people adopting its arguments? They'd be ridiculed otherwise. Enlightenment values led to bigotry and white supremacy having scientific backing. Let's help it into the grave and move on with our society. It's a bit late to start crying over spilled milk now.
That's just the false job ad they're required to put up, to prove that no US candidate is available, before recruiting an H1B to do the job for cut rate.
Developers develop their apps on emulators, not on the phones themselves. When they do use phones, they are the latest high-performance ones. They never see the slowness, or if they ever do, it is handwaved away with "upgrade your damn phone, Luddite."
A ridiculous exaggeration. The Left's ablity to block progress is much stronger than their ability to ensure positive outcomes. They're SUPER GOOD at being society-hating shitheads who don't want anyone to succeed, but not that great at actually improving people's lives. Just look at black people, they were safer under the rule of lynch mobs than they are today. Fewer blacks died back then, today they die all the time. (And it's not at the hands of the police like you might think.) If black peoples' lives got any better, they wouldn't need the Left any more and that would be a great tragedy.
We were told that if Trump was elected America would be either a smouldering crater or a goose-stepping fascist dystopia where Muslims are kept in concentration camps by now, and yet seven months later the US is still pretty much the same everyday corporatist bullshit factory Obama left it. We're all still praying for a miracle to save us from the destructive, America-despising trajectory our unelected power establishment has had our nation on, but at least we're still in the fight. That is likely a lot more than youâd have been able to say for a war-loving, Russia-hating strategical imbecile with no sense of responsibility for her own behavior.
The mass media machine is trying to force Americans to swallow the belief that they made the wrong choice in November, and that next time they'd better be more obedient and listen to the talking heads on TV. These people are lying, and they are wrong. There is no longer any valid reason to continue settling for this nation-killing oligarchic trajectory any longer. Keeping Hillary out of the White House was a good first step, but it was only a first step, the first of many necessary steps we'll need to take to turn this thing around.
Hiring and firing is what Trump does. He hires people, has conflict in public with them, and either they go back to work or he fires them. He's done this for ages. Remember back during the campaign, when he fired his campaign manager several times, and everyone said his campaign was in chaos? Trump just needed to resign, hand over the Republican nomination to Jeb! and get some rest because he was tired and unhealthy. Turns out, he had the right campaign manager for every segment of his campaign. He won the election.
The public intellectual forum is being manipulated with intimidation and coercion and you are being lied to. The media is not doing its job, and the scientific community is not playing its proper public role as truth-seekers, as a method transmitting knowledge to the public, or in fostering an open and fair intellectual climate. Both are abusing their power and authority to do the opposite of their honor bound social and intellectual roles; facts are being distorted in service of values.
There are a HUGE number of people out there with empty, meaningless lives. Television is VERY important to them and they greedily anticipate their next hit. What they crave is NOVELTY. They need something new. Waiting for the next season to come out - that would require self-control, and if they had any they wouldn't rank television so high in their life goals. The ability to delay gratification is an indicator of higher than average intelligence.
Because they're not concerned with practicality and neither are their customers? Seriously, I think you need to be an Apple user if you're going to criticize what they do. If it breaks, so what? The WHOLE POINT of Apple devices is that it shows off your status and insider privilege of being the kind of person who owns Apple products. Impractical, underpowered, too expensive, breaks easily, when did this ever stop them before?
LOL, as if the Left gives a shit about the working class. I thought we all had them written off as racist bigot ciswhite homophobes who love Jesus and hate Obama? The quote from Blazing Saddles comes to mind: "You know, morons." Now we're suddenly in favor of them? What changed? Is this one of those 1984-style "We have always been allied with Eurasia" moments?

A story about AI and Blizzard, and someone still manages to find a way to shout incoherently about Trump. And get modded up in the process.
Wow, Godwins Law. Jesus Christ. Trump is not Hitler, he's not even a fascist. You're living in a delusion. Why haven't the roundups and camps started yet? Trump is such a terrifying fascist dictator that literally nobody fears speaking out against him on any platform.
To do that, they'd have to appeal to middle America, and the Democrats would rather lose every election for the next 100 years than do that.
That's not the point. It's correctly pointing out what a real repressive government looks like. It doesn't look anything like the US government. This despite educated people with advanced credentials claiming without irony that the US President is Hitler. That's what's being pointed out here.
Funny, I have the same reaction with stories from CNN.
Legally, it is called gaming. As in the Nevada Gaming Commission regulates gambling. Your wish already came true sometime last century.

Another boring non-story. Not even a smidgen of a connection with tech. Just a "here today, gone tomorrow" politics post.
