A tautology I suppose, but, because you can't change them. You didn't choose it and it's immutable. Not fair to discriminate against someone for something they can't control. This is, of course, personal opinion of mine.

National origin is not changeable. National identity, I suppose.

If push came to shove I'd remove religion from any list of protected classes gladly.

Political belief should not be a protected class. It's an opinion- everything else you listed, you're born with/can't change that classification (don't want to get into the weirdness of the religion part, but nearly all religious preference can be predicted by geography).

According to the first Google result on the topic, "In 2020, 47% of Americans said they belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque", which means that your "average American" is not actually reflective of the average American.

I got super excited for that YouTube functionality, then I clicked the link and realized that either I follow way too many people for this to be useful, or the people I follow are producing way more content than I can handle. I guess maybe if I "un-ring" the bell for a few of the bigger channels this could be useful...

Those two cases say much more about company towns and the California state constitution than they do about the US Constitution's First Amendment.

My opinion on this matter has less to do with stretching and more to do with creating. It feels like the further we get from what the author actually wrote- in terms of dialogue, characterization, etc.- the worse the final output is. LOTR isn't just good because hobbits, it's good because Tolkien's writing is good. The Jackson trilogy was close-ish to Tolkien's writing, the Hobbit films further, and this even more so. I'm of the opinion that this was a major issue with the last few seasons of Game of Thrones as well.

I am not so sure that your statement is obviously true. One of the issues with The Hobbit films is that they stretched one relatively short book into three movies...this time around, it looks like they're stretching some apocrypha from the appendix of a book into an 8-episode TV show. Feels like a fairly similar effort to wring blood from a stone.

You don't have student loan debt so you do not need and will not get student loan forgiveness. Seems pretty straightforward!

I say this as a person who 100% supports student loan forgiveness and will experience no direct benefits (as I re-financed all of me and my wive's (much larger) student debts while interest rates were low).

He would likely have won the settlement regardless of what his objections were. The settlement is payment for being harassed out of a job, the "whys" of which only serve to inflame and engage the tribes.

NYT published an article as well: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/15/technology/kraken-crypto-...

I'm reading this pretty differently from you, I think. In my view, it looks like until 2013, car deaths were dropping dramatically, and have mostly been bouncing around a steady state since. Whereas deaths were dropping slightly until 2013, and have increased significantly in the years since that. The 2020 car deaths value is close to the 2013-2020 average, but the 2020 (and 2019, and 2018, and 2017) gun deaths are higher than the 2013-2020 average.

That study, which was linked to by me and another person, includes this chart, which shows that falling youth motor vehicle deaths and rising youth gunshot deaths are both long term trends

This article links to the study that made the claim, and many articles like this were circulating recently

41 children is impressive...but having to foster 7 of your own grandchildren certainly raises questions.

in this case there's no reason to believe he changed his mind

it's much more likely that one of the two views was simply him expressing what he thought was the most politically opportunistic opinion to express at the time

perhaps both

We're doing hybrid with two (or less preferably but they didn't say that out loud) days WFH per week and it's clear most people chose Mon and Fri as their two days. I think your office's way would be better.

I mean, I see a retired ChromeOS debug cable on their website- https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/14746

But, why do you phrase this as some sort of negative? They sold a product, and probably retired it because of lack of sales? Is there more to this story?

Only question I have is- do you still talk to the people who chose to have you sent there?

I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that NATO has defined a fairly clear red line covering more than half the countries you listed there.

the dude who invented the word meme wrote an entire book explaining this metaphor

Some of those things I can do (I can stream directly from the YTM app to many different devices in my house, I don't have any Sonos stuff though)

Some of it I never even thought of doing (no Home Assistant, Garmin watch)

Some of those things I explicitly do not want to do (my TV is hooked up to a Windows PC with wireless keyboard, using an app directly on the TV sounds like a strict downgrade in usability)

I'd say it's less of a "point of view" thing and more of a "how do you interact with computers and the IoT" thing

Long time user of Google Play Music as well and I gotta say...while YouTube Music is slightly inferior (edit: to GPM), it's not even close to inferior enough to convince me to go back to Spotify.

Granted, it does look like Spotify finally fixed the thing that got me to leave in the first place (10K library limit) but there's nothing so bad about YTM that I'd bother to pick up and move again.

I would gladly move to a state with a single-payer healthcare system and I have never considered leaving my state before in my life so it might not be quite as one-sided as you think

I mean, I think Reddit creates value. There are a lot of very positive communities on there that are helping a lot of people. It's a lot easier for me to see the positive value created by those communities than it is for me to see the positive value being actively created by cryptocurrencies.

yeah but i can't buy adderall either

I'd agree more with your distinction if he was randomly happening upon crimes and reporting them instead of proactively seeking them out.

The fact that UK police are asking road users to do this makes it worse, and less advisable to do, not better/more.

There are traffic cameras and traffic police. If you're doing their job for them, you're a vigilante. Not complicated.

Yeah, kind of surprised to see The Guardian and/or HN taking a pro-vigilante stance.

OK. San Francisco, the fourth largest city in California, can't be bothered not to elect this evil person. Happy?
