batmansmom1··on The Eddie Murphy rule and information embargoes
Seems like there isn't really an issue being raised in this article. There clearly needs to be close scrutiny on the journalists being given the information in advance, but given the fact that its provided in a "lockup room" it seems like that's the case. If everyone can access the information at the same time, even if its via these journalists, I don't really see an issue.

Time box for trades is a very interesting idea that I've never heard of before. Would probably equalize the playing field by a lot, reducing the advantage firms have simply by being close to the market. Have there been serious discussions about this in the past? I wonder what the downsides would be, besides that it would hurt the bottom line of market makers
batmansmom1··on Why Socialism? (1949)
Can you explain what you mean by John McCain discovering there is no will to fix it? Have always admired him but I'm unaware of his efforts to change, outside of voting for ACA and admitting Obama is a decent man.

batmansmom1··on Factorio: Space Age
Friendly aliens trying to reach sustainability is such an awesome idea for a mod! (or Space Age feature @devs???)
batmansmom1··on The Password Game
A warning to future players: I got to rule 16 and was given an egg named paul that I had to keep safe. Then on rule 18 a fire (of emojis) broke out in my password, killing paul and ending the game. Dont be like me, keep Paul safe.

batmansmom1··on The curse of being good in IT
Great point, I could totally see the "skill of an IT person" being skewed towards the majority being "bad" and a few being "good". If nothing else, simply due to the fact that there are fewer people with more years of experience

batmansmom1··on The Death of Personality (2017)
He mentions sacrificing usability in favor of making the visual design more beautiful, but the examples he gives as "beautiful" elements are often MORE usable! The settings options with inline actions save the user a click. The toggles with gripper bars and "on/off" labels convey information to the user. Calling simple/complex designs more or less attractive is a matter of opinion but USABILITY can be quantified and that's had a serious loss with the wave of flat design

batmansmom1··on Is Hate Speech Legal?
I think most of the world can agree that Jan 6th was evidence of a problem in need of a solution. I wonder if there is another solution that doesn't involve censorship/intervening in free speech. Perhaps there are societal efforts we should be taking that prevent the need for these groups to form in the first place. I think most in the free speech camp would say that intervening to prevent these groups from organizing just kicks the can down the street a bit and isn't a solution to the problems that cause riots like Jan 6th from occurring
batmansmom1··on Is Hate Speech Legal?
What about if I said "I hate all Americans"? That's certainly hateful but is it inciting hatred?
batmansmom1··on Why T-shaped people? (2018)
I remember this from back when the Valve employee handbook was released:

I've always wondered if they were the ones to come up with this or if it was taken from somewhere else?

batmansmom1··on Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade
If you believe that life begins at conception you could say that abortion deprives that "unborn person" of their right to life, as long as carrying the fetus to term would not put the life of the mother at risk.
