So Japan must really be off the scale Nazi then? What about China? What about Indonesia or in fact most other countries in the world which are ethnically monolithic and wish to remain that way?
Wow, if you're going to go off against "racist assholes" you might really want to attack countries like Japan, China, Indonesia, India - wait... - most countries of the world in fact which are ethnically homogeneous (and want to remain that way).
The AltRight is not about Nazi ideology. Spencer has addressed the topic at length for anyone who actually cares, which clearly most don't since they just want to spew shit against any movement that unites the interests of native European peoples.
Basically anyone who doesn't support open borders, unlimited immigration, and ethnic replacement = Nazi.
This thread only proves many of the AltRight's basic points.
This guy had some issues and instead of maybe discussing them in a discreet manner instead tries to blow it up into this huge issue. Much of what he wrote is just opinionated rant. I tried to find some damning accusations against Google or some overwhelming conclusion in his writing but there aren't any.
A company like Google that employs tens of thousands of people has a lot of experience in dealing with people. Google was absolutely right to fire him for nothing else than for creating a huge disruption to the company because of his BS.
It looks like the argument against those advocating in favor of the original paper's author are reducing the issue to one of diversity vs. autism. Like, gee, if you don't have diversity then all you get are autistic, dysfunctional people. Like no basic standards of conduct exist in workplaces outside of the diversity shit. Give me a break.
I just renewed recently while it was still $12/year. I feel that $24/year is a bit high. But on the other side, I would never need any of the premium features. That said, I'm happy to pay $12 per year for their service to help a great company. Lastpass has been solid and their service is indispensible.

Isn't it the most popular Linux distro? It seems like one of the major OSes of choice for VMs and servers, not to mention desktops. If you count the multifarious derivatives based on it, it's huge.
You are wrong. Carbon cycle/plate tectonics is necessary for life. Read "The Life and Death of Planet Earth" which was co-authored by the founder of planetary astrobiology (or whatever it's called, I can't remember the exact name).
OMG HTF can you even speak of prospering when this is happening? If you think it's some minor thing now, check back in.2K years when the human population has quintupled and every conceivable thing that can be burned will have been burned, not to mention the unimaginable social chaos and mass suffering that will no doubt exist.
When I read your comment it makes me feel really sad. If you are so completely blind as to how sick the human species is and to how appalling the destruction that the species is causing to it's home planet that you can speak of things like some kind of higher destiny or evolution with regard to spreading to another planet, you are truly lost.
I can only give you a hint and say that evolution and manifest destiny, for a species that was not competely fucked, would not involve mass destruction of a precious web of life which took many millions of years to evolve because it couldn't ifgure out what the fuck it was doing.
So yeah, before the species can even remotely get it's shit together and not behave in the most abject, appalling, unnoble manner conceivable you can speak of evolution - it's clear to me that these horrible things occur precisely because of the type of ignorance you espouse here. Sad.
No way. Planetary astrobiology is a well-established science and basically Mars is not capable of supporting life. It has no atmosphere and more critically has no carbon cycle and never will have one because it has no tectonic activity.
I really can't understand what the fascination with Mars is. Even building some kind of habitat in the middle of the ocean, or under the ocean, or under a desert, buried in Antarctica, etc. is far far preferable to what Mars will ever be. Why throw money away on it? Send robots there, yes. Live there? Just seems crazy.
I was just going to reply and say that the surface temp is over 300C, way higher than what can support life. Not really sure why then there's any real significance to this story. Just another planet discovery. And it's not like that matters more than the fact that we're quicly destroying the only planet our species will ever live on.
I always think it's funny when I'm sitting in a cafe working on one of my Thinkpads and I'll be scrolling something with my right finger on the trackpoint. Then later I'll be doing something else and scrolling with my left finger and all these people on their Macs are looking at me like wtf.
It's funny no one talks about Silicon Valley being overrcroweded after multiple generations of hundreds of thousands of illiterate illegals flooding in and having 3-4 kids each, and the local governments bending over backwards to provide carrots to them to keep doing it rather than deporting them.
Regardless of what the status is considered to be for tech workers in Silicon Valley, the other side of it is a burgeoning third-world savavagescape with through-the-roof levels of crime, tent cities, and destitution.
Silicon Valley's formula for success is more like a Ponzi-scheme, pushing the real costs of its unsustainable practices which depend on continuing floods of illegals and vast amounts of imported H1B labor - pushing those costs down the road for the clusterfuck future that anyone who resides there in the future will have to deal with.
I will just say this - the poison dispersed across Earth from all the testing done in the 50's and 60's - which persists to this day - and the detriment to living beings caused by it, is nothing to be excited about.
I disagree though. What you describe is still tampering unnecessarily with the system. Even if it's slightly less critical, it's still tampering and against good philosophy. Also, I was thinking of all timepieces in the sense of being critical systems. Even the clock in my car or the one on my wall is critical in some way. A clock by defintion is critical. Don't fuck with clocks. Leave them alone. Let the NIST or whoever make minor tweaks every couple years to synchronize atomic time, but everyone else leave it the fuck alone.
Which is why everyone wants it to change so we are always on DST. Basically it amounts to noone likes to "fall back" and have the sunlight become much shorter in the autumn (which admittedly has been shifted to be so late that it's not as bad as it used to be).
Looking at the clock change from the perspective of a systems administrator, it's just an extremely bad idea to tamper with critical devices - clocks - twice a year for such a frivolous reason. One basic axiom is that on critical systems you don't change anything unless absolutely necessary.
As someone above pointed out when the "critical systems" consisted of oil lamps or the time a farmer got up to work, or a stayed open to make money, it wasn't a big deal. But now it really is.
Not only that, but how many time keeping devices did people have back in the days of oil lamps? One if any?
Now, twice a year, I have to change no less than 8-9 timekeeping devices. I have a talking alarm by my bed, a timer/alarm in my kitchen, the clock in my car, and multple wristwatches which all must be changed. This is a massive pain in the ass and there's no way in hell any sane person or government would introduce such a law today. None.
Yet it is indicative of how incompetent government is that it is incapable of eliminating this ridiculous throwback to the horse-and-buggy era in a time when we have 747's and mobile phones.

"Sub ethnicities" = variations within one ethnic group = same primary ethnic group
You didn't invalidate my point.

"Nazi ideology"? Use of that term is a joke.

Why worry if you have nothing to hide, Seattle?

Sad to read another article about painful writhing over using Windows.
Ditch Windows.

Good.
Wipe them out.
ALL of them.
Make sure there are large facilities to keep them in when they get out of control.
