According to them white people have inherent privilege, so it's easier for them to not be poor lol. If you accept their assumptions - it's more or less coherent I think.


The magic link to login doesnt work


The magic link invited me to log in to my EveChat account. I was disappointed to find out nobody was talking about Eve Online.


LOL we haven't noticed this :D It must've been there for a long time. Will fix that ASAP. Thanks!


A more comfortable ear pads for my headphones, especially when I am now 8+ hours a day in my headphones - they just become transparent for me. Cheap, simple and yet it changed so much for me!


Is it really the case that dev career is over by the age of 40?

There are >40 devs, there's less of them because 20 years ago there were generally less devs, so you wouldn't expect to be the same amount of 50>40 devs as for example 35>25 devs. The sole fact that there's less of them (I think we can agree that there are >40 devs) doesn't have to mean that they just stopped working as devs - there are other reasons, right?


Sure, there are devs over 40 --- there are always exceptions to every rule.

20 years ago, there were just as many young devs as there are today. I know because I was there. I also know that 20 years ago, there weren't very many (comparatively speaking) over the age of 40 --- just like today.

Age discrimination in tech fields is not even debateable.


> That means workers have to work harder for a smaller share

what if the "whole" is not const? Does it necessarily mean that the share is smaller? I'm not convinced


I expected to go there just to see that the video is blocked


but the executable that is built with these optimizations is running on people's computers, not as a backend on google servers.. or am I missing something?


Perhaps I didn't understand the question. I thought the question was about why anyone would save a lot of money from software going "only" 10% faster. Most large datacenter operators will get unreasonably excited about even 1%. But you're probably right that Google itself will not directly benefit from making Chrome faster on macOS.


Also interesting, Duda got even more votes (in absolute numbers) than 5 years ago :o


Aren't there infinite number of groups we can group people by? And effectively everyone belongs to unique group of size 1 which is that, unique person herself?


For one thing I don't believe disrupting nuclear family model is a thing that will do any good, ironically especially for black families.

It is possible I am wrong, but as much as I informed myself, for this moment, my opinion is just different from the one proposed by BLM.

> If you think that your life will be worse if the demands or whatever of BLM are met then you really need to be honest with yourself and others about who you are.

And that is what I am talking about. It seems to me that you think that all BLM demands are universally good - and if I don't fully agree with them I must be somehow a bad person. I refuse to believe that they have monopoly for morality and truth.


If the nuclear family model were sustainable and prone to growth then how did we get here?

Middle-class is an important economic segment of the population but it really seems like protecting the middle class was always more important than growing the middle class.

Economics and statistics are hard and I’m forgiving for the protestors making some illogical demands which may feel right but would have unforeseen consequences. But there must be a compromise here. We all can’t just continue to pretend that things are great and BLM wants to disrupt that just cause.

I’m almost 40 and progress has been agonizingly slow. I argue that the counterpoints which I hear or read against BLM are really just good old fashioned conservatism masquerading as logical rigour.
