This is a common phenomenon that they teach you about when you take a first-aid course. If you ask “someone” to call the police, everyone assumes “someone” will. That’s why you never yell for someone or anyone to call the police. You PICK someone. In the moment, you choose and you point at them (either with your…

Hold on, you’re telling me a Twitch Streamer affects the patois of a smarmy dickhead when telling their viewers to fuck off? You mean to tell me that a person who streams their leisure activities to the entire world makes a big show about “pwning” the creeps that act inappropriately with her?! Surely not! You MUST be…

Looking forward to seeing this. Every Tarantino movie, so far, has been wildly entertaining and fascinatingly nuanced. Very much anticipating this new analog to the modern milieu.

If you’re looking to point some fingers, that would be at the conservatives who are insisting on the bullshit. It sucks when a valid message can’t get through because of the signal noise. But it happens.

Yeah. Well-meaning people often get involved in insensitive or controversial situations, due to their valid and reasonable intentions. That shouldn’t be so difficult for you to understand, yet here we are.

This is so tired. If christian politicians were constantly asked to reaffirm their commitment to America, in light of the treason and terrorism of the KKK, and in spite of their general vote history, demeanor, and prior statements, they might view this “innocent question” in a similar light.

Killing someone is bad. But killing someone who is trying to kill me is generally acceptable. Turnabout, according to jurisprudence over and above common sense, is fair play.

Bad headline. Should include some indication that they’re talking about deep-model anonymized data. It’s still plenty concerning to say that anonymized medical data is easily reverse engineered. The headline, however, reads as if all anonymized data can be reverse engineered within some reasonable level of accuracy.…

Very curious about this move. I’m hoping that they’re ditching chromium/electron. But that seems almost unthinkable, at this stage. It would be difficult to mitigate the transition without forcing users to download the new app, themselves (as opposed to the automatic updates users are currently accustomed to).

“smartest” is a relative term. I mean, one would assume that this staffer is mostly surrounded by other Delaney staffers, so Delaney may very well be the smartest person that guy has met. Poor guy.

I really hope “George” is an allusion to Asimov. That’s one of my favorite stories.

To be fair to your hypothetical Dan Hynes, there, the Irish actually were the closest thing we got to white slaves. Indentured servants that had immigrated with their masters. Not even close to the same thing as chattel slavery, but I’m just noting the coincidence that you picked that ethnicity as the butt of this…

Don’t be a fucking idiot. There were PLENTY of slaves in the antebellum South that weren’t black. Asians, Latinx, etc.

Yeah. Stupid people think a lot of incorrect things, based on strawmen that they build for themselves. Learn things and then you won’t think incorrect things.

The ONLY way VR gaming doesn’t go the way of 3D TVs is if the rest of the VR industry makes the devices essential. There’s just not enough of a user base when the devices are $100+ and their only use is stationary (probably in your own home) gaming.

In fairness, everyone learns differently, and almost nobody knows how to actually teach (even if they know how to do something VERY well; teaching is a skill unto itself).

Both are better than showing a game that IS NOT BRIDGE.

Just because you are willfully oblivious to racism doesn’t mean it’s not there.

The only hate I feel for this woman - and it is genuine, considered, persistent disdain - is the same hate I feel for anyone who figured out a get-rich-quick scheme: envy.
