robotron··on Sweden: higher Covid-19 death rate while failing to collect on economic gains
Who had a strict lockdown? Most of the US did not and if they did, it was too short. Source: I'm a Texan.
robotron··on YouTube bans Stefan Molyneux, David Duke, Richard Spencer for hate speech
Conclusion: white nationalists ruin the internet
robotron··on YouTube bans Stefan Molyneux, David Duke, Richard Spencer for hate speech
It's curious that people that seem to be racists aren't happy when everyone tries to get along and sing campfire songs about being one people and inclusive. They also aren't happy when people stand up for themselves and reject their worldview.

I don't mind purging ideologies that are about racial superiority. Erase that shit.
robotron··on Reddit shuts down subreddits including r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse
I haven't seen this mentioned in any stories but r/antifa is also banned. It could have come about as something else but I took a peak in it Thursday and it was there.

r/antifa
robotron··on Wildlife Services, a US agency planting 'cyanide bombs' to kill predators
It lined up with the article, though. While the whole thing is alarmist, I don't think the headline is the problem.
robotron··on Ask HN: What’s a big trend we should all be following?
Isn't grime a decade or so old by now?
robotron··on The Covid-19 shutdown will cost Americans millions of years of life
Yes and look at which comment actually gets downvoted. Yours. Looks to me it's more taboo to be in favor of trying to slow the spread and acceptable to be selfish instead.
robotron··on Facebook takes down Trump ads 'for violating our policy against organized hate'
That looks like an arrow? I must be in a parallel dimension.
robotron··on Facebook takes down Trump ads 'for violating our policy against organized hate'
Yep, on their way to taking over HN in my opinion.
robotron··on Facebook takes down Trump ads 'for violating our policy against organized hate'
I see how that could be the case but once we start delving into numerology we start to sound like conspiracy theorists.
robotron··on Welcome to America’s Cultural Revolution
Giving equal opinions to those filled with hate has gotten us to this point.
robotron··on Welcome to America’s Cultural Revolution
Oh and look - you're downvoted for this opinion! Conservatives are not even hypocrites, this stuff is just talking points in an attempt to get one over on "the left".
robotron··on Welcome to America’s Cultural Revolution
His "people" weren't getting murdered, obviously, so this is all inconvenient.
robotron··on Welcome to America’s Cultural Revolution
Again, I ask. How do you think people of color have felt for the entirety of this nation? WE the people are tired of the bullshit. Enough is enough.
robotron··on Welcome to America’s Cultural Revolution
So how do you think it's been for people of color this whole time?
robotron··on Show HN: I am trying to start a webring for geeks

It's apparently by design.

robotron··on GitHub is working on renaming default branch from “master”
I've never been a fan of master/slave when it comes to disks etc. although I thought renaming it was dumb (previously). Glad things are moving away from it. But this isn't master/slave, it's master/fork. Of course now that I think about it, main/fork or even better primary/fork sounds good to me.
robotron··on Advice to new managers: don't joke about firing people
My new manager did this to me recently in a group meeting. Luckily, I have a thick skin and I'm sure he was just awkwardly trying to fit in.
robotron··on Americans' perceptions of police drop significantly in one week
I feel as if I should explain something to my child but have been kind of shielding them. I'm seriously conflicted.
robotron··on [dead]
With purchase of hard copy.
robotron··on Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship
"other anti-democratic associations or governments"

This is troubling to me. Can this be used to mean "anyone I label anti-democratic"?

robotron··on GitHub is experimenting with personal READMEs
That was my first thought also: .plan with MD
robotron··on GitHub is experimenting with personal READMEs
Opt-in with the likely expectation that every developer worth hiring has one.
robotron··on The End of Podcasting’s Innocence
It's explained by reading beyond the title
robotron··on Why Developers Hate PHP
I'm currently on a project building A CQRS system in PHP (not the first time) . I have no idea what you are basing this on.
robotron··on Florida scientist fired for refusing to manipulate Covid-19 data
That's quite a bit of made-up stuff there.
robotron··on Facebook is helping to set up a new pro-tech advocacy group
What is "lefty" about them? They support rights regardless of political leaning.
robotron··on Show HN: Tara – A smart and free alternative to Jira
I hope you've at least read the first page. It doesn't sound "like" Jira at all.
