This a Book: The sum of Us - By Heather McGhee [0]

Here is an AI generated summary:

    In "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together", Heather McGhee uses the metaphor of the public swimming pool to explain her thesis.

    In the mid-20th century, thousands of public swimming pools were built across the United States for community enjoyment. These pools were often funded by tax dollars and were large, resort-style pools that families could enjoy. However, the vast majority of these public pools were segregated, barring people of color, specifically Black people, from access.

    When the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964, ending segregation, many white communities didn't respond by integrating these pools; instead, they drained the pools completely. Some went as far as filling the pool with dirt or concrete, or letting them fall into disrepair. It was a drastic measure ensuring that if they couldn't have the pool to themselves, no one could use it.

    McGhee uses this metaphor as a representative example of the zero-sum game mindset, the idea that any gain for the Black community is seen as a loss for the white community. It also highlights the cost of racism: communities chose to lose a valuable public resource (the public swimming pool) rather than share it equitably.

    The public swimming pool narrative is a recurrent theme in the book. It illustrates how racism harms everyone, not just those being discriminated against. It's an example of the societal and communal self-sabotage that occurs when racism drives decision-making, showing that racism doesn't just hurt the targeted group but deprives everyone of shared public resources and opportunities.

read this with a french accent for whatever reason >.<

Exactly! The example just describes a cartel of companies that have an understanding of non-competition. If it was a truly competitive the prices, features and offers would always be better to attract customers all the time.

While 30% is steep I don’t think Apple is at fault here. You wanna be able to use their carefully constructed walled garden with security protections, servers, payment system and users? You have to pay to play.

What in the actual fuck! I laughed so hard at this video just to watch in disgust how the DCMA and it's lackey GH would take down a repo that has nothing to do with Casio other than the name perhaps. Where is the freedom to tinker? If I modify my Toyota Corolla to take a Ferrari engine would Ferrari or Toyota come to my house and take my car away?

Are you implying that all politicians/politics are part of a play scripted and decided in advanced?

lol.. sorry typo. I did mean moonlight

Forget about Monsanto. The point I wanted to make is that FB is that they have a lot of power to shape culture/discourse and take little to no responsibility when things go wrong.

Until I don't see a change on their behavior/policies (by them or some regulating power). I will be weary about working with them or using their products.

While I trust FB has very good work perks. I will not be inclined to work there.

It comes down to what do you value in life.

Do you wanna literally help promote fascism and misinformation? Go work at FB and moonshine at Monsanto on your free time.

I am never going back to Windows -- of my own accord.

What I did is, buy an XPS 13 preinstalled with Ubuntu 16.04.

It is the best of both worlds: support for the latest hardware and trusted Unix like system

cheers!

Normally I would agree with you but, that hasn't been the case for the past 3 weeks or so.

I would also suggest using an actually encrypted email like:

This is cool, but the beauty of Jekyll is that you can add content in markdown easily and without much JSX/HTML manipulation. This is specially useful with adding blog-posts and tutorials

I am by no means defending Jekyll. I think it is an OK solutions for the problem in question. The only reason why I prefer it, is for the markdown (human friendly) formatting.

Based on your preference for being coddled, I can only hope one day you move out of your mama's basement.

I am also frustrated with demoting comments that offer other alternatives or paint a different side of the picture.

Unfortunately I cannot sympathize with a company which it's valuation is $2.8 billon, and cannot handle staying up or a large userbase.

It is related in the way that there are other tools out there that users can use, if people are frustrated by these outages.

Reactiflux - the React.js chat/discussion room moved away from Slack to Discord (https://discordapp.com/) a couple of months back. the reason was: "Slack decided that Reactiflux had too many members and disabled new invites"

here is a post with more info: https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/10/19/reactiflux-...

That's cool!
