The problem is obviously poverty and not race so it’s pointless to put it in the article except for clickbait. If black people who can afford to live in nice neighborhoods and own vehicles are still hit more often then it might actually matter.

Why not just use a library?

Too bad book stores have no reason to exist in 2021.

That’s why I singled out remote workers. The governments who created the systems that allow people to acquire wealth are different from the ones that collect taxes. The government that allows my employer to exist could invade the one I pay taxes to.

Almost everyone in the world who provides anything for us already lives in terrible conditions and makes a few dollars a day. The people nearby are even less deserving since they’re so much less cost efficient to help.

Good. High income people get almost nothing for the amount that they have to pay. Some day we’ll have flat fee city states for remote workers who will only have to pay for what they use. How can you justify taking so much when a person’s customers, education, employer, etc. are all located outside of the region that they live in? What is so special about the people living nearby that makes them deserving of another guy’s money even if their lives are entirely independent? It makes no sense...

And a monarchist is the same thing as a monarch

It’s art

On a 'regular' day I would be spending 8 hours on campus or at an office for an internship. Probably 90% of the people I interacted with on a typical day would share my goals and understand my life. Now it's all online. So the problem is there's no social pressure to do anything related to my long term goals. The time spent on a computer is not really that important

I'm not a child (uni student) but I've spent the last year sitting at a computer in my childhood bedroom for 14 hours a day and I'm fucking miserable. My life feels fake since nothing I'm working towards exists in the offline world.

> Human Sexual Intercourse

That’s not the Waterloo that I know

Therefore Indians are not POC

Steve Jobs and Justin Trudeau were part of the culture

This is like saying it’s factually wrong to call Indian people POC because it erases the existence of White British people in India.

You’re just asking white people to quit writing since a book with 0 minority characters is also going to be criticized.

It’s just neo-Puritanism. Treat it the same way crazy religious people used to be treated and we’ll all be fine :)

The deer incident?

> ask for naked pictures of them/their family

Are you sure about this one?

The child always has the option of suicide if it really thinks it would be better off not existing. This is fine for the same reason that not aborting kids with downs is morally fine.

No problem. I like the groups idea that was mentioned.

Your UI is really nice and I see that you’re hiring. Do you have a job posting up somewhere? I’m looking for new grad opportunities this year.

Very cool. Thanks for replying!

Do you expect influencers or curators with a large following on here? A lot of the stuff I buy just comes from what’s recommended on a Reddit wiki page. It would be nice to see some kind of FAQ or buying guide for different interests for when I don’t want to do much research. Somewhere to look for a curated list of entry level to high end leaf blowers, for example.

Thank you for your service.

Misinformation is a made up problem. With the amount of information we have now it’s trivial to push any narrative just by amplifying the “right” true information. It’s why every politician has a source saying they’re a sex offender. Most of the accusations are real but which one you believe depends on where you look. Or just look at all the articles that quote nobodies on Twitter.

> you're saying we don't decide on what is attractive as a society?

Yes. There’s no “we” who gets to make a conscious decision about these things. Attractive people are not attractive because of some narrative that was constructed.

And that’s just for long term partner preferences. Sexual attraction is almost entirely dependent on biology.

> We stop treating video as if its some perfect representation of reality that's inherently trustworthy, and learn from confronting similar issues with other media earlier in history.

Deep fakes won’t be any worse for the world than photoshop ever was. Until we have any reason to believe that deep fakes are actively misleading anyone in ways that actually matter I think it’s fine to ignore the problem.

You're kind of right. A lot of marriages were historically done for reasons other than love. Most women aren't sexually attracted to their husbands but they still needed a provider. Now that women are economic equals to men they have no reason to ever settle for guys they don't like, which is most guys. If you've ever seen a woman use a dating app you know that they're all flooded with dozens of messages from hot guys who would love to have sex with them but would never considering marrying them. So women who don't need to marry average guys are happy to wait their turn for a sexual encounter with a top guy instead of giving a regular guy a chance.

The idea that we have the ability to "push" for what's desirable makes no sense at all and it's not possible.

Isn’t Kendi the guy who says that even babies are racist unless you teach them his ideology?

Ok. I tried to make fun of you but you’re still friendly so I’m curious.

Do you mind if I ask what kind of stuff you’re maintaining where you see any traffic from these old browsers? Do you think it would ever be possible to transpile a site into some shared common set of syntax/features/whatever instead of making browser specific corrections? And what do you think about features like WebGL which are impossible to replicate on older browsers in a performant way?
