I'm not attempting to refute it. I'm suggesting that the idea that only the Liberals appoint partisan judges is absurd, because they're all corrupt.

All parties appoint partisan judges. If you think your party of choice doesn't then you need to give your head a shake.

Billionaires are not a protected class subject to undue discrimination.

>How do you tell me you have no empathy for people higher up the status latter than you without telling me you have no empathy for people higher up the status ladder than you?

Why should I have empathy for those who exploit me for their own personal gain?

Considering tech billionaires got rich by destroying our privacy, why do only they deserve a law protecting their privacy?

>They're not hoarding wealth. They don't have any Scrooge McDuck cash faults. Their money is all invested, i.e. put to work creating things that people want.

The Panama Papers showed this to be a myth. The ultra rich are in fact extracting wealth and hoarding it in tax havens.

IR as well.

>Nobody cares that we were oppressed for millennia.

Lots of people care, but both sides of the Israel-Palestine situation have done some pretty reprehensible shit going back decades.

>So no, that line of reasoning is wrong. You can not try to excuse double standards with historical baggage for some groups but not for others.

This is irrelevant to dating apps and I'm not interested in discussing this further with you.

The sun is decidedly unsafe for eyes.

LOL did you miss the discourse around any prominent woman in any tech-adjacent space?

It gets really odious around here when women are discussed.

HN is very very far from whatever spectre the right currently is labeling "woke"

>but not when the women are portrayed in a more negative fashion?

Could it be because for centuries we ran the world and told women they were inferior, didn't let them vote, didn't let them drive, didn't let them have financial autonomy, etc.?

Could it be that, generally, men have things pretty good today and in many ways women still have not caught up?

Could it be that you need to tread a pretty fine line if you want to make humor by poking fun at half the population who were systematically oppressed for the last I-don't-know-how-many years?

One wonders.

The risk-reward calculation for women is dramatically different than for men.

For men,

risk: not get laid, deal with rejection. reward: get laid, possibly meet soul mate

For women,

risk: person you matched with rapes and murders you. reward: get laid, possibly meet soul mate

And before anyone tries to rebut this with the tired argument of "sometimes women commit murder" yeah that's true but exceedingly rare. The overwhelming number of violent crimes are committed by men.

I thought it was pretty catchy, actually.

You can scrape the filings from EDGAR, which presents the statements in standardized format.

Emacs has a built-in rudimentary drawing mode (ASCII-art only, obviously) that can be invoked with `M-x picture-mode`.

>Twitter's good!

It's really not. It was good for a short while, way before the Muskquisition but the quality both of the service and of discourse have declined.

>You can’t buy options on a $1000 stock

Yes you can.

One of the primary reasons companies split their stock is to keep the price in a more natural trading range where there's likely to be more liquidity.

An n-way stock split in theory should reduce the price by a factor of n (that is, a 2:1 split ought to halve the price) but what we're seeing now is likely just price discovery based on the bullish earnings report.

Indeed, though with lock wire there's usually another anchor point you wire it to, so that the nut can't back off.

I doubt they have the same fault. It's common practice in NATO air forces to use lock wire or another type of anti-backoff mechanism on screws and bolts subject to vibration.

If the original design lacks this it would likely have been embodied as a fleet wide modification/design change.

It's not possible for me to express the full measure of my disdain for Sam Altman without violating the HN guidelines.

The fact that you cannot perceive the harms, or that they are not yet apparent, does not mean they do not exist.

Look at Facebook and other social media: at first we all thought it was great and then we realized it's a giant depression machine, and all it's really good for is giving young girls eating disorders.

But since we're on the topic, the immediate casualties seem to be the livelihoods of authors and artists, on whose content the LLMs were trained and who received no compensation.

And now every publisher is inundated with infinite ChatGPT-created books. We won't get into the climate impact of wasting all that compute just to create a better phishing-email generator.

>It’s fashionable, for reasons I am unaware, to hate on Sam Altman and OpenAI

Perhaps because he's a slimy used-car salesman who got rich doing things that are illegal for you and me (ripping off copyrighted works en masse) and he pulled a bait and switch as far as for-/non-profit is concerned.

He's everything wrong with Silicon Valley/Venture Capital/faux meritocratic culture rolled into one.

Modal editing is fundamentally-insane UX.

My brother plays rollyball^W tagpro and it's amazing how much people get into it.

I'm terrible at it.

Only for spammers trying to get their marketing into my inbox.

For personal use cases email is great.

Gosh what a terrible language.

>You give the location of your missing property to the Police when stolen.

They will do nothing.

It's not mental illness, just capture by a figurehead they won't remove who's so detached from how modern computing works that he doesn't even know how to update his own website.

Searching for "readme" turned up only two hits with dates on the files from the 1990s, not sure what's going on but not working as advertised.

Laypeople have known what MP3s are since Napster was making headlines. Laypeople have mostly never heard of MP4.
