Yeah people like you did a lot of work to hide apple’s planned obsolence in the past, wouldnt be entirely shocked if this was the case. Now you can apply for a job at apple showing what a good sheeple you are.

Good point - wondering if open source projects that copy commercial products should be liable for copyright infringement.

JS devs like to reinvent the wheel.

I am not sure why you deleted your comment - I know the HN commentariat will downvote anything contrary to its liking, but this is a forum for debating issues. I managed to read it quickly, and while I disagree with it, I welcome it.

I welcome it because I can input my opinion and maybe shed some light on why i think you are wrong.

You posted about raw numbers of whites in poverty vs blacks in poverty. By raw numbers you are right, there are more white people living in poverty. But there are more white people overall.

"According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%). Whites had a poverty rate of 10.1%, while Asians had a poverty rate at 10.1%." - that means the likelihood of black people and native americans being poor is higher than that of whites.

You also implied I think all whites are racists. If I would have than it would have been racist towards white people. I think whitepeople as a people are not racist, but there is a solid number of white people being racist. This doesn't make all of them racist, just like some criminals from the black community doesn't make all black people racist.

Scholarships are meant to try and help members of that group gain education. White people are more likely to be able to attend university. Doesn't mean there are no white people who can't afford education. The issue is not that blacks are getting scholarships, the issue is that education is too expensive and only a few afford it.

You finished your comment with "no shit" to my statement that society belongs to everyone. You are right, but some disagree with you.

I remember personally speaking to a white american back when the new orleans floods happened, and he point blank told me "it's the ni* who get fu". I remember a friend who went on a trip to NY with his white lawyer friends stating that smoking weed while driving is fine, because the police will only stop the "ni". I also remember images of LA, SF, NY, and their ghettos where there are mainly black people.

As I said, I welcome debate. That's the only way we can get to the bottom of what is going on.

Great, now let's look into why they commit so much crime - perhaps because they have been marginalised for generations, depicted as criminals, denied education, pushed towards the edge of society? Your statement is like saying Jews in Germany didn't contribute tax, while they were "living" in concentration camps. It is time for the US to pull out of the middle ages and become a modern country. A society belongs to everyone, regardless of "race", "religion", and so on.

You mean to tell me I can just call the police on a black person that happens to be in my store, they get killed, and we call it a day? Everything that results in some sort of police punishment must be investigated, even if the person is dead. Both the crime that may have led to the police being called, shooting at the police, and then police handling of the situation.

ok now THIS is what i am here for - thanks for the link!

True - but I am referring to useless open source posts. Forgot to add those claiming OOP, code documentation, and so on, are useless. Waste of time and are a distraction from what you mentioned.

Shouldnt the UN condemn what is going on in the US? Police ramming protesters, shooting people filming from their own property, and so on reminds a lot about HK protests. Rohynga, Uyghurs, Black Americans, Native Americans are tortured in these 3rd world countries and the UN does NOTHING.

Rare gem - the bulk is made of open source stuff no one asked for, rants against employers, and weird calls to revolution. Worth staying for the rare ones tho.

I already saw posts with titles likes “post remote work”. Keeps workers entertained.

I yet have to understand why Chinese companies are not getting the same treatment in the US as US companies get in china. In the EU i understand - germans need to sell cars there, but in the US it is beyond me given the POTUS is “against” China.

I used this as an example because i kept asking myself why would people be so ready to believe in conspiracies, then i remembered i used to believe them as well. For me personally it is a powerful example of how it works. I looked into how i grew from exaggerating everything in my mind to how i started asking questions and digging into why things are the way they are. I discovered that most conspiracy theories start from a valid concern and then diverge into a gross exaggeration and distortion of reality, much like when you are young and your mind cant process too much information and you resort to imagination and fear. I am not self proclaiming or self aggrandising I am merely stating what i observed.

Personally I hope nanotechnology can be used in vaccines, for targeting cells based on their genome - imagine a tiny machine that will attack exactly cancer cells, covid, hiv. One that we can program, inject and cure.

Also I see the validity behind concerns around vaccines - certainly mistakes can be made and some may not be beneficial.

Same for 5G and radio waves. In theory, strong radio can cause damage but the amounts would have to be enormous.

But of course I am talking about people whom like children exaggerate everything in their minds, good and bad, to the point where where they fear an imaginary cabal plotting to subdue them. Like Courage the Cowardly Dog which sees everything like an exaggeration coming to get him and his family.

So imo yes, there are emotional connections but those emotions are underdeveloped and exaggerated.

That could work indeed. Annoying but necessary. Tho what does one do about real bots - people in spam farms that would manually login, post and logout.

When i was little (14 or so) i used to read a lot about alien and Egyptian mummies conspiracy theories, about various phenomena and was fascinated by them. As i grew older i realised they were just stories. Wondering if some people never left that intellectual development stage. A certain degree of suspicion and caution around what governments do is healthy. But strongly believing there are microchips in vaccines, and 5G networks are meant to cause viruses that’s just adults with the analytical power of a child.

Sacrificing a few genuine accounts to save the sanity of millions and protect democracy is not much of an issue. The question is how does one revive such accounts without too much hassle while not reviving bots.

The keyword is "accidentally killed". But whatever suits your agenda for downplaying what's happening in the US.

"And the protests in the UK, where the reasons were many (racism, austerity, corruption)." - Absolutely not comparable to what is happening in the US. The UK had riots few years back and absolutely no leader issued statements that they will get shot, and hounds released on them. It was a big deal even whey they wanted to use water cannons. But hey, what do we European communists know.

It is, but not to the point where people are killed by the police or denied voting rights. The fact that you are trying to make things look good by saying it happens in other places too shows ignorance.

Of course I am and so are you. But I live in Europe and I dont really worry about getting killed by the police nor do I have to watch out for drones or the army getting deployed when I protest against the discrimination of entire groups of people. We have closet racists but they rarely murder people while dressed as police officers.

The main difference is covid hit home. People dont really care when it happens in other countries - how many blinked as people were dying in china? Almost no one cared.

It will just become the new normal sadly and people will be more docile by then. The vast majority already is.

No, this is not Russia, North Korea, China. This is the US, 2020.

Somehow China manages to control directly or indirectly companies, individuals, and sometimes politicians, in the US on a far bigger scale than the Soviet Union did. Oddly enough on a scale even higher than under Obama.

Not sure about the US, they do in the UK tho. I usually don't consider ads without pay info.

Not OP but I always found it odd that danish companies don’t post salaries in job ads. Just an observation vs the UK where it is common practice. Wondering if it’s one of the reasons, along with tax, salaries are so much lower in that country. Either way very kind of you to help OP, I highly recommend denmark as a country and culture.

What country are you in? Afaik in the UK you shouldnt have issues. When I was a head of dev I personally NEVER discriminated based on age (or other reasons such as race, gender, region, etc for that matter), and neither have others i know nor have i heard people raising this issue.

I cant tell wether the statement that Russia had “soul” is because of the stockholm syndrome or something else, but how can you say that considering millions of people have been deported to gulags in the early days of communism, and hundreds of millions are still suffering today because of communist regimes Russia imposed on their countries? Do I get a sense of someone decrying the collapse of the SU? The political entity that literally massacred the cultures of millions of east europeans? Think again about what you wrote.

When was the last time you watched the news and thought, “thank God I saw that. Let me go take action.”?

Well I did read about covid early on an nearly bought masks in preparation (didnt do it because WHO said it’s fine).

I read a lot about the UK government so I can tell when to buy and when to sell british pounds. Doom and gloom on the guardian or dailymail? It’ll go down. Good (fake or exaggerated) news on the dailymail? It’ll go up.

But indeed most news are just a distraction. And most news websites are a load of BS with titles meant to drive page traffic up.

basically, AWS is an ESB sold for parts. understanding this, is the first step in building a competing service.
