People in America seem to think only black people were ever enslaved, and only by white people.

The problem with 1984 is that people read it and apply their own bias.

What’s amazing is that “anyone can be a slave” is his argument for why it’s okay to use that term.

I’m not a huge on the term “African-American” because it’s overly specific and wordy. Go to Europe and see what black and white people are called there. Pretty straightforward. Even in the mass media, it seems like “black” and/or the broader “People of Color” have gained a lot of traction, almost ironically…

Plucking this out from the replies because it sums up how I feel about this and it’s easier to copy/paste than type it out again:

“aNyOnE cAn bE a slAvE”

Here’s the thing though, with “master/slave”, in software at least, it isn’t even the best phrase/concept to use. “main/worker” is typically how I see threads divided, or “primary/secondary”.
Even with those examples though, some secondary/worker threads need to be unique, so they get labeled with their task, like…

Eh. Things get loaded with meaning over time, whatever their historical roots. For decades, academics and historians have been using the term “white slavery” to differentiate it from “regular” slavery because they know “slave” is not a racially neutral term in the modern lexicon.

Um, no.  White good/ black bad is very much a European color interpretation.  In Africa and East Asia, white is the color of death.  

The “modern concept of race” groups different people into buckets based on physical attributes, rather than simply heredity. It calls people “white,” for example, rather than of “English,” or “German,” or “Scottish” descent. It calls people “black” rather than of “Egyptian” or “Kenyan” descent.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but what it the “modern” concept of race? Minority people or rather different population groups have always been compared to animals or savages or uncleanliness; no matter what age or geographic location.

This. I never really considered what an advantage the supercharger network is until I SERIOUSLY started shopping for an EV. Yes, there are great deals on Bolts right now, and I prefer the hatch shape, the range is fine for me, I have another car for road trips, and I don’t want the “baggage” that comes with owning a…

You’re comparing a hot lap to a standing start?

You’re not mentioning that the 80% you charged to was your own decision. The car tells you what it needs to charge to in order to get to the destination. Maybe in V10 it will allow us to set an arrival %.

They used the same driver for both cars. Get a better driver and you’ll get better times for both cars, but are unlikely to change the ranking.

I mean, you can only charge that Porsche at full speed at what... 3 locations? Tesla v3 charger are just as fast as well.

Multiple times now. Cite what you are referring to or stop gaslighting.

The Model 3 has routinely beat the BMW M3 at head to head track matchups for auto magazines. The delta grows the more tight and technical the track is.

The big issue is “how long it takes to refill”...My MR2 can hardly manage 210 miles on a tank, but I don’t care if I can fill up anywhere in a few minutes.

I call BS. Audi is taking the most current version of Model S and saying that it has more battery so what do you expect. But the reality is that the e-Tron has worse numbers even when comparing to the older versions of S or X that had battery capacity parity. Tesla has better overall energy management, period.
