You just sprayed links all over, expecting me to fish through that data? From what I can tell, your data shows mediocre growth that has barely kept pace with inflation. Half the links you show are for "median" values, which will always increase in an economy that is growing (as it did under the Obama years). It's fact that the middle class as stagnated as the ultra-wealth have gained immensely over the past decades, no amount of FUD will make your argument factual. I'm not arguing any further with someone who argues in bad faith.

under Obama the middle class gained significant wealth

Check out these charts and tell me you're not full of shit.

Edit: it took me 30 seconds of googling to find this, next time research your position before you make a fool of yourself.

diversity of scientific, not cultural views

Your cultural views can affect your scientific work. The imagination of children in America vs. China is different, people have different dreams and experiences, etc. I am constantly baffled by people like yourself who don't understand that cultural diversity IS diversity of ideas. Whether that culture comes from your location, race, upbringing, wealth, religion, or something else, any sort of diversity is good in business or other organization as it helps you think of new ways to innovate within your area of expertise.

I normally use "git push --fo<TAB>" or "git push --fo<UP ARROW>" in zsh, but after seeing the switch option "--force-with-lease" pop up each time I've memorized it now. I let my CLI do the work for me most of the time, but when I can't there's always "man COMMAND". After doing anything a bunch of times, you remember it.

Several sites do that now, it's annoying and you sometimes cannot even get back to the previous article. I like to read the text on my screen near the top of my browser, so I scroll constantly as I read, and for these sites I continually scroll off the end of the article into the next one before I have finished the last vertical page of text due to the way I read. I'm not changing the way I read content due to these shitty sites, so I guess I will never finish one of their articles.

I don't get the "extra letters" argument as a Computer Scientist. Most of my time is spent figuring out what I'm going to do before I type anything, whether that's research, staring at code for hours to see how it works, or something else. I could type 3x as many characters each day and would probably only work an extra 10 minutes per day. Maybe I'm the exception, but I don't like brevity for brevity sake.

I use `--force-with-lease` instead of `--force` or `-f` because it ensures that if someone happened to push before me it would fail and I could manage that manually. Even on branches that no one "should" be touching other than me, it seems safer to type the extra characters `-` and `orce-with-lease` around the `-f`.

It's on mobile. I haven't tested it much, but I'm really not interested in doing so. I only keep Google Maps because my wife and I like to share locations, which I am trying to do via some direct method between our phones eventually anyways.

Yep, Google Maps still shows my home and work locations on the Commute tab from before I disabled almost everything in my Google account, but won't let me change the work address since we moved locations. So I guess when I change houses (the only one I really care about, since I use it to send an ETA to my wife) I can just turn everything on, change the address, then turn it all off again. It's illogical dark patterns like this that made me start detaching from Google, and will probably drive me to buy a non-Android phone next time, although I detest Apple UI even if their quality is usually great.

Well that's terrifying, I am glad they have stopped that sort of thing!

How else do you ship it? Radioactive materials count as pretty much anything irradiated, so for a Navy nuclear plant (something they transport on trains that is radioactive) that's every pipe, valve, and metal fitting from the primary loop. You're not shipping all that by truck or plane with more security than a train, which is pretty unstoppable and it's easy to anti-air missiles and stuff to a train vs. a truck. Also, you'd need dozens of trucks or planes for one reactor decommissioning vs. one fairly compact train.

Looking sketchy isn't great when you're trying to make a security product, FYI. Maybe get your ducks in a row first, then announce.

I don't care about the elites, I care about people who are not well known who get exposed due to this technology, or who's endangered because their stalker who happened on their nude stolen photos can now track them in real time.

Celebrities and politicians have money and power to ensure they recover from this event, your sister or wife doesn't.

My big question with face rec is this: what happens when the tech is so good that people can find out the identity of someone whose "special" photos were stolen or shared on the internet? That's going to be a huge deal and will cause huge problems for some people if not handled correctly.

I assure you, bothering someone like this when they are trying to get through their day is not hilarious to that person. Not only did your friend act like an ass and part illegally or over the time limit, but they then risked possibly running over a person's foot or something while fucking around.

Yes, humiliating other people is hilarious...

Are we just making China the Boogeyman now on hacker news? I'm not trying to be a whataboutist, but literally everything China is doing had been done for decades by everyone else capable of doing that thing. Why are we suddenly up in arms about China?

My kids will have their mother's name as their last name, so what do they do, use their father's, uh, bachelor name?

So everyone start putting the content of that repo (I am sure someone forked it) in every one of your repos, especially ones other people use, and see how GitHub reacts.

Militant leftists wanting to outlaw certain speech

Uhh, Mozilla didn't outlaw anything. Do you want to force Mozilla to put that extension on their site against their free speech rights? The only thing guaranteed by the first amendment is the federal government cannot prevent you from saying what you want. It says nothing about preventing you from using a 3rd party platform. Feel free to get a literal soapbox and preach your truth wherever you want in the real world, no one is stopping you.

It's not the side they are on, right or left, it's the violent and hateful rhetoric they use.

They won't change anything while they spend the next 10 years in legal maneuvers to draw out the case, then, probably after they've made another billion euros on other shitty, dangerous products, they will settle out of court for a pittance compared to the profit they made off of this and other discontinued and dangerous chemicals.

Do people from the South (that aren't a part of traditionally discriminated groups) get discriminated against actively because of their birthplace? Does Joe Redneck lose jobs because he was born in Georgia rather than California? What do those Southerners say about people like me living in San Francisco, CA?

Not trying to be aggressive, I just want to know why you think the cultural discrimination against white Southerners is equivalent to that against Chinese ethnic groups that are being actively oppressed, or some other group that is being actively oppressed.

In 10 million years, why would we remember about any of these libraries they want to launch if we forgot the other knowledge? It's like dropping a well-protected USB with all our knowledge in the ocean with no method to locate it later, it will be buried and gone before we know it. I personally don't think we'll enter the "age of immortality" as the human race until we've spread our knowledge (and our civilization) further than just one set of discs on one moon around one planet around one star or one Tesla automobile orbiting around one star.

bumper, hood, radiator, connecting parts, paint matching on a 7 year old car, etc. Not a big deal, I just wanted to tell people my story so people realize even doing it in a parking lot or neighborhood can probably kill if it is possible for me to crash that hard in bumper to bumper traffic.

Yes their watch was okay but their software sucked. I think it's more likely China has spies within Huawei rather than Huawei being a literal intelligence operation. American engineers generally balk at inserting backdoors, why wouldn't Chinese engineers?

I was driving about 3mph in traffic texting my wife and did 3500 dollars damage to my car. I'm glad I learned my lesson the easy way instead of killing someone.

Don't text and drive no matter what, it's easy to pull over if it's necessary!

I guess this is "Red Scare 2.0"? Is it? I'm not sure whether to worry about China or not, I feel like all my worry is driven by the political forces in the USA and Europe rather than facts. It seems so one-sided that "China is Evil" that I feel like I'm being duped. I love my Huawei watch, but I've stopped using it because of the fear of spying, even if I don't have facts to support the fear. I don't trust nearly any source to properly vet this information, how can I? Is this all a ploy to take down China as a growing world power to save the America-Europe hegemony? I feel like at this point, I don't see a ton of difference between the two, both torture people (America's war on "terror"), both are committing genocide (America's ICE separating families), both are spying like crazy on the other, etc.

something like 80% of men that are becoming disenfranchised

Are you arguing men have a right to sex? Disenfranchisement is the taking away of rights, that's it's definition. If not, you should be more careful using that phrasing.

“There needs to be a balance”

Sure, so then since the pendulum has been on one side (polluting the world with fossil fuels) for so long, let's swing it over, in order to be "balanced", and ban/eliminate fossil fuels as soon as possible, hopefully in the next 10-20 years.
