I didn’t watch the whole thing due to the audio, but what I have seen is this still not ultimately a new language? As someone else here stated, the compiler is determining if the code it sees is Circle or C++ so that means it’s handling them differently. Which means all the legacy cpp code would never touch this and people who already started cpp would need to maintain two separate flavors of the language. Maybe I am misunderstanding this project.

If the sale was legitimate sure. But there is a long, proven history of fraudulent sales and straight theft. In those (numerous) instances would it not behoove the recipient to return them?

There are some people here saying “the people who made them are dead”. Which I imagine is an argument for “nobody actually owns them”. Which is a myopic view. The cultural heritage of a region should be able to be enjoyed by the people of that region. Imagine if major artifacts of American, or British (or wherever you are from) history were lost to another far away land and you had no opportunity to marvel at them, how might you feel?

That said, there is something to the notion of borrowing and “tours” of artifacts, so people of the world can also enjoy them.

The pyramids, as suggested by evidence, was NOT built by slaves, but by craftsmen. Which makes sense. You don’t get someone who you captured at war or pillaging or what have you, to build an intricate construct that requires a lot of skill and knowledge.

Asked myself the same thing. These examples are also federal agencies that did the raiding, which typically have a higher standard as there are way more optics. Not the same as local politics like this story.

Sorry but I can’t help but feel this comment smacks of consultancy. The facts of WFH don’t align with management desires. Management may think it’s the business but the business is bigger than management. This is true in two ways: 1) employees make a business and 2) investors begin a business.

Employees are happy to have a work solution that works for them. If you want the talent to make them productive you should come to terms with reality that WFH jsut works for a lot of people.

Investors are happy when a company is making money and a company is making money when it’s employees (not its management) are productive. Employees are productive when they are given a work solution that works for them

Saying “put a door” on their office completely negates what makes employees happy to come work for you given the new reality.

Adapt or die.

That doesn’t excuse the crimes committed, nor does it negate the need to control the MIC. The Vietnam and Iraq wars should never have happened, among many other things. We shouldn’t have PMCs running about committing crimes, either.

Edit: nor does any of what you’ve said negate the sentiment Eisenhower was advocating, which relates directly back to the Vietnam and Iraq wars. Having power and wielding it responsibly are not the same.

AI has yet to completely replace people in any industry. I fail to see how it would replace an industry that creates massive, complicated code bases in 10 years. Let alone 5. All roads seem to point to AI assisted work. Programmers will move “higher level”. That doesn’t mean they become poorly compensated.

This sounds like a nightmare

Please point out every comment I made in this thread and then point out which of those comments made “wild assumptions” and how they are “wild” based on the content of the comment being replied to.

Also, defamation does not mean what you think it means.

I find reactionary, conservative, and bigoted opinions come up more often that Hitler, but with obvious connections.

The ones I know would be, yes. They’d also think it’s odd some people feel the existential need to do it.

This comment makes little sense, does not negate the fact Islam is an ideology, and does nothing to contribute to this discussion.

You realize there are 2 million Muslims living in America without any problem right? Take your bigotry elsewhere, HN is typically more elevated than that.

It was one student complaining.

This isn’t about separating religion from school. It’s about having sensitivities for peoples way of life. There are a lot of things you wouldn’t be able to get away with outside of depicting Muhammad in art. And none of them related to Muslims.

This is a nonsensical conclusion because obviously the Muslim world doesn’t perceive western art in this way. I do think there is a distinct difference between expecting respect from people that you share space with. Someone will surely reply about the violence some people partake in. Violence is never okay and is the route of maybe 0.5% of people, so I think basing how you interact with an entire demographic of people on that is myopic.

Islam isn’t a country. It’s an ideology that can be practiced by anyone.

This is a very white washed outlook on what happened. Would love to give a good reply when I have time. Suffice to say, this poster makes it seem like the US and UK were helpless and just stood by as things evolved in Iran. This is utterly insane.

Thank you for directing me to that. Must say, I see no correlation between the right to protest in a private establishment (that permits public access, a stipulation of the ruling) and the right to make calls to violence (which does not exist)

Edit: that last part should read: the right to make calls to violence in addition to the rights of private entities to choose to not do business with people for non-discriminatory reasons (discrimination based on protected statuses of individuals)

1. First of all I didn’t care about Parler, it was a dump doomed to fail. Second this point is purely opinion. Third, your notion of what free speech is in this country is flawed. calls to commit violence and/or riot are not protected free speech under the constitution

2. I don’t care if you choose not to do business with AWS. My comment is on your opinions on whether what AWS did were legitimate.

3. Explain? How is a mall restricting you? Stores will kick you out for being loud and obstructive. It happens all the time without legal repercussion. Actually the government does protect the rights of Facebook, Google, etc to host content by users that are calls to violence, harm, abuse, etc. there are many examples of this. The constitution will never tell a company it has to do business with an entity that hosts that content though. That’s what’s crazy about the duality of free market ideologues. They want business to have free reign but then hate when they exercise it? I’m having a hard time trying to grasp what you’re getting at here, actually.

My point about censorship is in juxtaposition to government censorship which is what society should be worried about. If a business doesn’t want to do business with people who break the law that’s entirely up to them.

This is an incredibly weak analogy because parents regularly limit access to sites for their children and it’s seen as a healthy treatment of the internet. I must say I’m completely lost on what you were intending to get across

“We” didn’t take parler offline. AWS did, surely after some pressure. In addition to this, Twitter should and is held accountable by society. You can’t possibly have missed the entire debate on its moderation. Of course, twitter also does more to Moderate the content on its site than Parler did which is what got it booted off AWS. Few services want to be associated with radical ideologues spreading violence.

There were extremists on the site making calls to violence. A *private* entity deciding they don’t want to do business with a company because of that is neither censorship as a society would consider it nor is it problematic. More people and businesses should be willing to refuse business to entities that seek to harass, abuse, or promote violence to another group of people. What you’re worried about is governmental action and is not equivalent here.

But this forces architectures that may be problematic for certain use cases. Cookie cutter solutions will always end up getting bogged down with more and more options. And options for options.
