"We must do something. This is something."

I, too, agree that we should leave unvaccinated people alone.

> saying that vaccines are fake and don’t work

But that's not what he's saying, is it?

Tl;dr: I'm parroting someone else's opinion on a show I didn't watch.

That's a useless definition then.

You are creating inequity by engaging here, because a mentally disabled person somewhere cannot follow.

Why would I want to piss off the company I choose to work for?

The mental gymnastics some commenters use to turn this into bad news...

Occam must be spinning in his grave.

Filtering for opinionated developers who proritize their political views and arbitrary moral compass over company policies sure sounds like an interesting strategy when it comes to handling sensitive PII.

Indeed. Have you adjusted for police interactions though? How about poverty level and criminal history?

We can play statistics all day, which is kinda my point. It's pretty obvious there is a bias, but not so obvious (to me) what the root causes are. Racism and second degree soci-economic factors are definitely on the table. Labeling every single police event as racially motivated makes no sense though.

I misinterpreted nothing: more white people are being killed by police than black people [1][2]. Which part are you challenging?

Shouldn't you be arguing for fewer police killings, period? Last I checked more white people were being killed by police than black people.

"The knife was in his car and they found it afterwords"

You mean the knife was in the car he was trying to get into at the time he was shot?

So it's better for these animals to not exist at all?

> no animal wants to die

Since we're pretending to speak on their behalf, I posit no animal wants to not live either.

By going vegan, you are not merely sparing some animals, you are denying their very existence.

Is a miserable short life, ending in painful death, worse than no life at all?

(rhetorical, pretty sure there's no universal answer)

Sure they can, but why bother? Perfecting snark take a lot of work...

The real question is can they learn to be a politician, or say a Burisma board member?

Are you also ok with this means of protest being directed at your property?

That's a ridiculous statement. Not just dishonest, but totally offensive to a certain ethnic group. Please consider your words next time.

That's a multiplying factor on top of H-1Bs, so it makes sense to address the "problem" upstream.

No, but it sounds like Safari and FF are not caching as aggressively. After all, unused ram is wasted ram.

So you avoid disclosing your income, but then ask your old colleague point-blank for his. Care to elaborate on this apparent inconsistency?

Have you considered his jaw dropping has little to do with your made up figures, and more with your general attitude?

> They are stealing the (often wrong) answers from the blogspam and putting it in their own box - how is that better?

Saves a click and the ordeal of loading a gazillion quasi-malicious ads posing as information. Much better in my book.

They should have gone with "Free energy", then spend the rest of eternity explaining how it's "free as in freedom, not beer" :)

There are more American millionaires than you imagine. Heck, I bet half the people posting here qualify.

I'm not sure your point, as stated, makes sense.

> Isn't that illegal?

Yeah, how dare these companies adjust their production to respond to supply/demand imbalances? /s

I cringe at the vision of a world where that would be illegal.

That's a critical difference which has nothing to do with "how the internet works".

So none of your problems are caused by anyone/anything other than billionaires. Literally.

Good to know that millionaires are safe from your wrath.

It's been this way forever. What is the forcing function you believe will lead to a change now?

And where are these unlimited funds you speak of? I have a few crazy ideas of my own, that I'm willing to pursue on someone else's dime.

Your project, your rules - but that attitude doesn't scale well.

Chromium chooses to prioritize users' experience over scoring ideological points. That means attempting to work around known external bugs instead of letting things blow up and sending users to pound sand on some unresponsive third-party mailing list.

I'm not sure how you can fault them for that, especially since pretty much all successful large-scale projects take the same approach -- including the Linux kernel.

> the day Nvidia releases a driver which implements the required APIs it will work with no changes in my code.

How about the day when Nvidia releases a buggy (system-crashing?) implementation of the required APIs? How well will your code work without changes, and which course of action will you take?
