shard972··on UK and EU agree Brexit trade deal
Since when do we redo elections to see if people changed their minds? Seems like its only when a progressive type of person doesn't get their way under democracy.
shard972··on No new locally-acquired coronavirus cases in Australia yesterday
Some lost the chance during the lockdown mate
shard972··on R U OK?
No
shard972··on Bella Thorne, OnlyFans and the battle over monetising content
Young lonely men who nobody cares about unless they open up their wallets.

Most creators being women is also true.
shard972··on India orders coronavirus tracing app for all workers
Ah so censorship of political opinions? Even the minor side comments, got it.
shard972··on Ask HN: How worried are you about coronavirus?
That's because they stopped counting....
shard972··on How might the coronavirus change our world?
And? The west is currently in the process of dismantling a lot of it's culture to accommodate minorities so I don't see why china gets a free pass for cultural reasons.

> If people in the US primarily voted the issues (that matter and affect them) instead of on the basis of nonsense, Democrats would win by a landslide.

You can't help see the right as wrong because you can't even manage to represent their opinions in any kind of fair light.

shard972··on Mozilla lays off 70
Under that premise the .org sale was good for everyone because they managed to make a deal.
shard972··on 'Cancel Culture' Comes to Science?
But we can test people who exist today who evolved independently over millenniums? Why is it nonsense to think that maybe humans who mostly existed in hunter gatherer societies for thousands of years would face different evolutionary pressures than agricultural societies?

Is it really insane to believe the Sentinelese have a difference in genetic ability to engage in abstract thinking compared ashkenazi jews?

shard972··on 'Cancel Culture' Comes to Science?
Oh here comes the racist brigade to yell down moral proclamation upon the unwashed masses.

You know what, who cares if Watson was a flaming racist? He has done more than almost any other person to save the lives of millions of Africans but he makes one opinion about intelligence and hes slagged off and completely discredited?

Cancel culture has been in science a lot longer than people know.

shard972··on Women now make up the majority of the U.S. labor force
You think a life where the only people who really know you and care about you actually kind of just loathe you? Contriubting nothing back to the scioety that created you? Leaving nothing on this earth after your gone then a collection of garbage?

> Maybe we need an acceptable way for people who can't mentally handle work to be able to exist in society.

What does mentally can't handle work even mean.

Animals can work, its that people don't want to work. Just because the reasons are probably more related to society than the individual doesn't mean they can't work.

shard972··on Philosophy as a public service
How do you know mediation is the answer to anything without Philosophy?
shard972··on Philosophy as a public service
Postmodernist's would disagree with you heavily that the two domains intersect.

Philosophy goal is uncover truth where science is restricted mostly to the realm of facts and empirical truths.

An example would be the question of the meaning of life, science has little ability to answer this question other that to claim it doesn't actually exist or it's just a complex expression of atoms working together where with philosophy there are countless ways to answer this age old question.

How will de-carbonising the economy stop bush-fires on this scale?
shard972··on Apple Commits $2.5B to Ease California Housing Crunch
And yet as one of the people you describe, you can't find a single tech job in the midwest.
shard972··on China is increasingly using exit bans to bar Americans from leaving
Again you have your individualist lens on and you are judging the situation purely based on that moral framework.
shard972··on Browsers are pretty good at loading pages
> webpages on good connection are so fast

Not everyone has this, espicially when your someone like myself who writes informational websites for people who won't be connected to any internet for hours at a time.

Super fast response times don't cut it when your response time is non existent at the moment.

shard972··on Facebook Bans Louis Farrakhan, Milo Yiannopoulos, InfoWars and Others
Ah so if something is deemed hateful by someone it should be removed from the internet.

I find your comment quite hateful /s

shard972··on Agony of an African Programmer (2014)
> Iraqi dev would casually go to Isreal to work lol

Why not? Do they not have work visas like America does?

I mean considering how many undocumented people make it to America from the middle east I can't imagine it would be too hard to get into Israel.

shard972··on Microsoft engineer complains that company is biased
Just like there is basically no evidence men are naturally unsuited to being a mother.

Then who is? Ben shaprio?
shard972··on Otonomo, with nearly $55M in funding, is cloning our product
I wouldn't hold my breath on law being disrupted, they are quite happy the way they are thank you very much.
shard972··on Facebook stored millions of Instagram passwords in plain text
Well combine this with them releasing a "feature" to ask users for their email passwords and you have to wonder.
shard972··on Popular Google Play store apps are abusing permissions and committing ad fraud
Are chinese really cheap labor though? Their tech companies are quickly eclipsing that of western companies.

I don't think it's fair to say it's just a cheap labor thing.

shard972··on A Measles Case Hits Google's Silicon Valley Headquarters
We are on track to complete barrel past 1984.

> Hey, you should be forced to take injections in order to get a job, welfare, housing etc.

So eager to throw our privacy out you don't even see that you pretty much chucked the rest out the window too.

shard972··on Jack Dorsey says it’s time to rethink the fundamental dynamics of Twitter
So we killed RSS feeds for this? I think it's time to bring back the RSS feeds.
shard972··on Announcing AMP Real URL
They usually complain profusely about how they aren't allowed to install their flavor of the month new tracking scripts. As if the last 20 weren't enough.
shard972··on Intel Exiting 5G Modems
I don't think you should count intel down and out just yet, over the past few years they have been one of the few tech companies actually committed to diversity.

Sure they had a couple bad years but now they have a talent pool deeper than any of the competitors so I'm still betting on them to turn this around and bounce back even stronger.
