I bet management wishes they would have hired some real devs with backgrounds in software development and security. You reap what you sow.
No one said otherwise. Luckily, "blacklist" is innocuous, and the only ones calling for its replacement and removal are neurotic leftists.
Dragons breathe fire, and my family burned to death. For my safety, please change your username to something that won't trigger me, your username is not innocuous. I see your username and all I can think about is my family burning.
Just because something isn't specifically connected to race doesn't mean it is innocuous.
Your entire argument is based on this pretence that is demonstrably false.
Getting reported to HR by these neurotic professional victims is not something you can "just shake off", you literally can't "just ignore it".
It's asymmetrical warfare, and the externalities are all on you, the microagressor.
All of this reminds me of the 90s when Evangelicals wanted schools to ban students from talking about, wearing clothing with, or playing anything related to Pokemon, because it was an affront and a "microagression" to their religion.
Here we are, just a few decades later and leftists and SJWs are now the ones playing the victims, being "microagressed".
It's painfully obvious you haven't been exposed to Bay Area/West Coast start-up culture (I envy your lack of exposure).
I've seen people getting reported to HR for the following things:
- Using a photo of a Sherpa (an actual photo, not a character or drawing) in a presentation to describe the concept of guiding people and systems to their desired outcome and state. They were reported for using racist caricatures of marginalized minorities
- Discussing shooting sports in a thread about hobbies. They were reported for making people feel unsafe
- Someone posted a screen shot of a Tweet in support of BLM, but the screen shot was from Blacktivist, a Twitter account that was part of a Russian propaganda campaign. Someone replied to the screen shot that maybe it should be taken down since it was literally created and pushed from a propaganda account. They were reported for being insensitive to PoC employees
These are just a few out of the dozens upon dozens. I'm sure many others here on HN could provide examples.
Body positivity, "Whiteness", and other deranged ideas are just not worth Hollywood fighting against.
It's the best non-Google, privacy enhanced experience you can get at the moment.
Yes really. Intentional or unintentional lies to anyone would be considered fraud if we go by your ideas.
>Could you elaborate? What does fraud mean according to you?
It's not what it means according to me, it's the definition according to the law: "with intent to defraud". Changing or redacting documents without the intention of defrauding is by definition not fraud. QED.
Once they run out of other people's money to spend, they'll implode.
Anyone remember the GNAA, Goatse Security, weev et. al? Now it's the polar opposite.
Fuck the data miners. The isn't even criminal to do because I'm not defrauding anyone. The address is still one in my city. They never do any actual verification so it always works.
Can't have Zoom calls on that garbage.
Coinbase reduced risk by kicking out leftists. Hopefully the rest of SV/Bay Area companies follow suit.
So to say that "the entire West coast" was burning is objectively false, alarmist dribble.
Crime was near all-time highs in the US, Europe's deadliest war since WWII was raging, numerous civil wars in Africa and elsewhere were claiming millions... It's clear it's way better, and definitely got better since your arbitrary timeline.
>I don’t think there’s been a year in modern history like 2020 since 1968, and even that pales in comparison.
Of course 2020 was a weird year, but to compare that to the height of the Vietnam and Cold War, with nuclear mutually assured destruction just inches away, among the many other things boiling is just naivete. 2020 was NOTHING like 1968, not even a close comparison.
>We’re in the midst of a global pandemic with nearly 500k dead in America alone.
Indeed, but we're rounding it out, things are slowly opening back up, and vaccines are out.
>We’ve suffered two deep, major financial crises in roughly a decade.
And mostly recovered.
>The entire west coast was on fire this fall
Objectively false. Less than 50 people died. If the entire coast was on fire, that number would be several orders of magnitude larger.
>Texas completely fell apart this week.
And recovered this week.
>Living in a bubble?
Correct, you're not living in reality. You're living in a constructed delusion that doesn't match with facts, has no context for history, and is just neurotic/alarmist.
No civilization had to think about electric generation at all 60 years before that.
>Its not crazy to think late era Obama administration was more competent than Trump administration.
It's not, it's a fact. Obama's administration was absolutely more competent than Trump's.
>So you completely missed his point, (s)he’s not saying “times are bad now”, they are saying “I see now that times are not good enough”
Except I didn't. Even accounting for Trump's blip, times are more than good enough for new nuclear plants now.
There's almost never been a safer time to be alive, and there have been incompetent leaders since time immemorial.
Not even a lifetime ago incompetent leadership caused tens of millions of people to perish because they thought killing all the birds would save more of their crops, among other things.
You've been living in a bubble and/or have been ignoring history, even recent history.
We don't think, we know.
>A bullet is a projectile whose sole purpose is to penetrate the human body at subsonic or supersonic speeds.
Not even remotely true. There are bullets whose sole purpose is to penetrate paper targets accurately.
>The original commenter was advocating for carrying and using weapons that fire these bullets against innocent people.
Wrong, it was advocacy for carrying and using weapons that fire bullets against guilty felons.
>To me that's just depravity.
To those based in reality, it's a right to self-defense.
EDIT: Like clockwork.
We did, it was called CentOS.
