I LOVE articles like this because they prop up all the worst aspects of an ideology and try to present them as their best aspects.

Have they no self awareness?

According to this article:

* Feminists worship the devil

* God himself is patriarchial and therefore feminism is counter to God's will

* Science is witchcraft

* Intellectual enlightenment and freedom of thought come from Lucifer, and are therefore sin

Have they no self awareness? Do authors of articles like this actually think that aligning themselves with Christianity's representation of evil incarnate helps their cause? Do they think these arguments help advance their feminist ideals amongst Christian's?

It's scheudenfreued, I know, but this might be my favorite article about feminism of all time!

keep reading after that sentence and this article continues to undermine itself by actively portraying feminists as the greatest thing ever and men as evil.

> Next thing you know, women will be wearing trousers and thinking they can vote.

what does this sentence in the article have to do with anything phone related? Women can wear whatever they and they've had the vote for over 100 years.

the article makes a decent point and then goes full crazy. Too bad.

Yes, let's get mad at the people enforcing the laws instead of the people who write the laws.

Then, we can turn off our code, make a big announcement, and feel good about ourselves without making any meaningful effort to actually help.

What. A. Great. Plan.

you are reading this blog post like a research paper, which is wrong. This is not a research paper.

this is the writers trying to influence the market so that future start ups they work with accept terms that are more favorable to YC.

they are using data and statistics because their target market would dismiss the information outhand if they did not.

i don't even understand the product after reading the article. what is the value of this?

its an always on teleconference with my facebook friends? no thanks.

there is no way that this payment arrangement is stable over the long term (more than 10 years).

The only thing that will happen is the locals will become resentful of the foreigners who are preventing them from using their own land, someone will rise to power riding on that resentment, they'll use the money to raise an army, and then they'll kick out the foreigners and renege on the deal.

there is no such things as "buying property" between nations with out transferring sovereignty. Look at the louisiana purchase, purchase of alaska, etc for examples of doing it correctly in a long term sustainable way.

look at hong kong for examples of doing it wrong: the chinese "bought" hong kong from the british 100+ years ago but guess what? the hong kong people don't care.

how about linking to a cspan recording, or an archived news article, or perhaps even the presidential archives and actually providing evidence instead of just more anecdotes that you "think" happened.

As a resident of a state deemed "flyover country" let me just key all you California residents in on something you may not know: if you get rid of the electoral college you also get rid of the consent of the Midwest to be in the union. We refuse to be dictated policy by a bunch of coastal high population states that can't even keep human feces off their major cities streets.

Getting rid of the electoral college is a good way to start a civil war.

Have you even been to a McDonald recently?

Free wifi, they are super clean, cheap but delicious coffee, they offer good food above and beyond the cheeseburgers you're thinking about, and they have good ice cream cones for cheap as well.

People often go to McDonald's and use it as a coffee shop and do work.

McDonald's is much better than any other fast food place because they put so much effort into making them nice places to go.

Maybe you shouldn't be so judgemental about people who eat there

You lack serious historical context.

We went fromom electricity to flight to nuclear to space flight to the internet in less than 150 years.

Its been less than 100 years since antibiotics were invented, so, sorry we aren't addressing antibiotic resistance at a fast enough pace for you.

Hope you don't mind all those vaccines that are keeping you healthy and providing here immunity: they've only been around for about 130 years.

It's the most innovative time in human history, despite your negativity.

think about this for a second: your competitor is asking to copy your work.

If I were you, I wouldn't assume good intentions especially considering you are just a start up and in a race for marketshare.

If it were up to me, I would set a date a year or two in the future and then open source it then, but only AFTER you have a large enough lead against your competitors in the market.

There is no reason that I can see to open source the secret sauce of your entire product.

This article is trying to claim that the Nazis only lost on the eastern front because of the Soviets ("but the Soviet Union destroyed the largest portion of the Nazi military and defeated the Army of Manchuria, Japan’s strongest ground force.") But fails to mention that the US was actively supplying the Soviet forces with food and equipment through the lend lease program.

A few paragraphs later they try to downplay the first gumf war ("Unfortunately, the first Gulf War was not a strong indicator of American military power compared to other major powers") while completely failing to mention that the iraqi army was considered top 5 world wide. The fact that the US beat the Iraqis in such a short time frame was an "oh shit" moment that caused a crisis of faith in the Soviet leaders and directly led to the military overthrowing the Soviet Union.

This author seems to be trying to change history to fit his narrative by cherry picking interpretations of events and making false claims about the effectiveness of America's past allies and enemies.

its also illegal in pretty much every jurisdiction that i've ever lived in

No. Boot camps are for beginners, not people with 20 years experience. Their existence is a direct response to a lack of qualified candidates and their sole purpose is to increase the labor supply.

It is a negative to go back to boot camp for you just like it would be a negative if a research professor went back to junior high.

However, if you could find a position TEACHING at a bootcamp that would be better.

Both sides, Democrat and Republican, are now anti big tech.

Love it or Hate it, when you piss off the most powerful governing body on the planet you're in for a bad time.

My question is more timeframe: Google obviously won't be broken up tomorrow, but probably earlier than a decade from now.

I guess the timeframe depends on who wins the next presidential election?

Life is not fair, war is not fair, international politics is not fair.

Yes, it's hypocritical for the US to do it. But you know what, the only way to get them to stop is force them to stop with military force. And, quite honestly, there is no military in the world that even comes close to the US.

Also I'd rather the US control the airspace and flying drones wherever they want than some other country controlling the airspace and flying drones over the US.

Virtue signalling. Everyone uses plastic bags, everyone has a whole bunch of them under their kitchen sink.

Politicians took a highly visable problem that affects the majority of their constituency and "solved" it.

It doesn't matter if it's an actual problem or not to politicians, it only matters if their voters think it's a problem.

No, they mean quadriplegic.

Please read the comment they are replying to. OP states they are quadripelegic. The comment you seem offended by is a direct response to that.

> You may not like the tone, but surely you can muster the courage to set aside your personal taste with regard to something so important?

You sound exactly like a Jehovah's witness or a Mormon missionary.

> Now, we have a choice between serious lifestyle discomfort in the short term or famine and death in the long term. I expect we'll opt for our grandchildren's generation to starve

It's statements like this, which are completely absurd, which are hindering our progress of making meaningful change.

Please stop using armegeddon like language to describe climate change. It doesn't help if you sound like a crazed cultist.

Pickles come in glass jars. so does salsa. So does some types of juice.

I'm not sure why you are concerned about this because it is obviously not a big problem.

Sigh

When will we learn?

I think the answer is incentives. Ideas?

No.

Are you trying to credit Chinese students as the sole reason for America's technological supremacy and economic growth? Ha ha good try but no.

Besides, India isn't affected by this and they make up equal share of foreign students in American Universities.

Plus, you know, western European students, African students, Russian, etc, have also contributed over the decades.

China isn't everything.

not nice.

Apple is very open about their long term plan to convert to a media and services company. Their business plan is to 1) get you to change over to these 3 new apps now when they are free, 2) convert each to a paid monthly subscription plan once enough people use them.

so soon you'll be paying for 3 things instead of being able to use iTunes like it is now.

sometimes I read an article, like this one, that has a sound basis in science, look at the headline, look at where its published, think about the target audience that will read the article, and can't help but question the "why" that article was published.

Is there any reason at all to publish an article about the gender of research mice in the Guardian except to push some kind of political gender agenda?

I ask specifically because of the article's last 4 paragraphs. They are so laden with gender agenda it kind of blows my mind.

No, let's not.

Let's keep the original style so that future generations can experience it the way it was originally intended.

Modernization is not always the best idea, especially with historical architecture.

I'd actually make the argument that it makes the US dollar stronger because it would show that the us controls the land within it's border.

At the end of the day the US dollar's strength is tied to the us political and military and economic power, not their trust worthiness.

I trust that the us will us it's army to ensure the value of the dollar stays strong globally.

are you trying to imply that modern day slavery is ok because its not state-sponsored? how about no. Slavery is wrong no matter who sponsors it.

you. you are the one out of step with reality.
