> She's not anti-vaccine, but is pro-vaccine-safety

I've never heard of Humphries before your comment. I searched and found a long video of Humphries where she says, at the outset:

>> "never has there been a safe vaccine, never will there be a safe vaccine, and it is not possible to have a safe vaccine." [1]

IMO, a reasonable person would call that an anti-vaccine point of view, don't you think? Calling it pro-vaccine-safety seems disingenuous.

Anyways, I agree with you that she seems well read and she articulates her position in a level-headed manner and I'm even open to her being correct. But her position seems to be very anti-vaccine because she tells us that vaccine safety is "not possible" and that there will never be a safe vaccine.

I don't think you've thought this through; you won't be fighting soldiers in your little quest for rebellion, you'll be fighting your neighbor, because your neighbor thinks you're a fucking dumbass who he'd rather kill than reason with, because of how little you've respected honest discourse and conversation over a long period of time. To create an American insurgency would be to threaten everyone around you, and no one would tolerate you or it for even a moment.

There is absolutely no such thing as the "American spirit of defending yourself from tyranny", whoever told you that sold you a lie. The Revolutionary War was not a precedent, it was a single violent act by a unified people. What you're talking about is literally the opposite of unification.

The second amendment has nothing to do with individuals overthrowing anyone, it was never meant to be interpreted that way, and the current belief that it is is much more dangerous than any threat of an oppressive American regime. What you're actually suggesting is that state National Guards fight the US Army. Good fucking luck.

Your complete lack of understanding about history makes this whole conversation pointless. There is no best version of your argument (so it's hard to follow HN rules), there is just racist, nationalistic anger that you will be forced to get over with eventually.

Edit: It's an actual attack on me, personally, to claim I specifically am thinking about hurting anyone, when I'm responding to a comment suggesting an American insurgency; keep in mind that it was easier for 'daenz to go there than it was to actually refute anything I wrote. This is despicable behavior, a real low point for HN.

> you should blog. It's really fufilling.

In what way? Do you write for yourself then make it public not caring if anyone sees? That doesn't sound fulfilling; I have blog posts over the years which I have no idea if anyone ever saw and it feels a bit of a waste. Do you write as if you're trying to contribute to the world? Then doesn't that depend on feedback to know if you are succeeding or failing, and put you in the mind of "I have to create something good" as a competitor in the world of content-creation competition?
But you have no evidence for any of this. It's literally a theory about some hidden deeper motive of a government or leader, like all conspiracy theories. There isn't one shred of evidence Boris makes up non existent hobbies to (unsuccessfully) manipulate search results.
Open question: why are we done bombing people again? I can't think of anything that is remotely justifiable. Even the "terrorists" excuse comes back to US bombings creating terrorists.

>That just (unintentionally or not) automatically excludes African "voices", thereby turning them into the "other".

African researchers can still publish and read in English, it would be extremely unlikely for the two areas of research to evolve independently. Look at American and Soviet research during the cold war - there was a huge language and political barrier, but the Soviets didn't end up with a unique scientific system.

Every company wants to manufacture a washing machine once and then keep selling spare parts with 100% margin. No RnD expenses, no assembly line, no demo stands - pure profit!

That's like free printers with expensive ink cartridges.

Yeah, I am not sure it is a CORS error, though that wouldn't surprise me. This looks to be an error from our API Gateway validation rules (which, at least for us, is notoriously difficult to get to send any more error data to the client)... that is to say, this will typically occur when one of the form or query string params is sending illegal data. I tried to repro last night w/ no luck. This sort of error isn't in the error logs (that we typically monitor)...
You raise a very good point. And something else -- during this time, the US started to pass gun control laws. They were understood primarily to apply only to black men at the time.

This is the heritage of gun control in America -- racism and hate written down and codified in law.
I have a domain "madeup.world" that I was thinking on putting up a fake news site called "Real World News Today" given the domain, I was wanting to try to make it obvious. However, there are times where even the Onion feels a bit real, and I don't think I have any faith in actual media.

Maybe I'll put up genuine commentary, I just don't have the time or inclination to deal with it.
That carbon emitted is largely from the manufacturing of cheap products that you consumed. Western countries have offshored both manufacturing and the associated pollution to a country more concerned about pulling its people out of poverty than about its environment. The ocean plastic is partly from these industrial processes and partly because western countries have exported most of their plastic waste to China for more than a decade.

Also, according to this, China's per capita emissions are half that of the US.

It wouldn't work as you imagine because it would be far too expensive for the government. In the Middle East it works out because none of our infrastructure is affected by the war; so our GDP, and thus tax revenue, is still strong. In a civil war where the government is bombing its own infrastructure the cost for each kill will skyrocket and the effect on the economy will be catastrophic. Fighting a defensive war is immeasurably cheaper than an offensive war as the defenders value the lives of their soldiers much less than the offenders do. Also keep in mind that a rebel faction could very easily sabotoge critical infrastructure like electricity which would be very difficult to repair in a timely manner.

Relying on very expensive advanced weaponry is the modern equivalent of relying on mercenaries, and Machiavelli told us why mercenaries are bad.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the actual email is neither quoted directly nor linked in the post.
I dont feel the need to own an assault rifle in the present time in the US, but I feel like you are misrepresenting the point. You have to be prepared for the worst times, not the good times. When the worst times roll, it will be too late to worry about it.
Armor Games | Part-time/Freelance Front-End Web Developer | Irvine, CA | ONSITE or REMOTE

Armor Games is a online community for casual gamers. We offer an online destination hosting over a thousand flash and HTML5 games with new titles launching every week. We also develop and publish game titles for mobile, desktop and console.

We are in need of a part-time/freelance front-end web developer who can dedicate 1-2 days a week toward evolving and improving the armorgames.com site.

The site is currently built on a monolithic LAMP stack with server-side templating and jQuery. We would like to start building out new front-end features using a modern front-end framework (like React or Vue) to improve both the look and functionality of the site. This will not be a wholesale rewrite of the site - we need to seamlessly rebuild small sections (ie, components) and integrate them into the legacy site. Knowledge of both modern frameworks and more traditional ("legacy") stacks is required.

Additional information and contact information is on our employment website: https://employment.armorgames.com

Wow what a horribe viewpoint! I can not disagree with you more here. Can you even begin to imagine the massive scale of casulty and human suffering that would occur in this scenario?

Lets break it down
- tens or possibly hundreds of millions of people would die
- there would be almost a 100% chance of a hot ww3 but this time with hydrogen bombs, there is a good chance if this happens all life will be wiped off the face of the Earth
- starvation on a massive scale, modern society with its on demand supply chains would suffer greatly in a new world war
- automated drones targeting people

That’s a cheap shot and a risible one at that. The hierarchy of decision-makers who designed and implemented MCAS and the hierarchy of decision-makers who handle the information security at Boeing is (as I’m sure you’re well aware) so far removed and unrelated to each-other as to be essentially distinct. Conway’s Law doesn’t really apply here.
No, he's correct, and it means exactly the opposite. The armed citizen is a deterrent to rolling tanks at all.
I still don't understand the argument.

Compare

* armed citizenry gathering illegally and getting slaughtered by a superior military force

* weaponless non-violent citizenry gathering illegally and getting slaughtered by a military force (which would have been superior to the citizens if they had been armed)

You've already conceded that the armed citizenry is no match for the military. At best your point about morale is equally true in both cases. At worst arming the crowd gives a boost to military morale because armed opponents gives them a way to rationalize their slaughtering.

Finally: if the slaughter of innocent citizens still matters to a critical mass of other citizens, it's vastly more powerful for them to hear that the citizens had been unarmed. And if there is no longer a critical mass of other citizens to organize against the military, then you're screwed either way.

I just can't figure out what the benefit to arms would be in this case, especially given that there obvious downsides to arming a population.
Amazing. Don Quixote is a very underrated book.
Nothing you described here is a trivial problem, nor a problem that Github has any responsibility to unilaterally fix, nor do they have the tools to do so already as you previously stated.

If Github were somehow helping copyright infringers, that would be encouragement. What you're describing is additional effort on their part to actively discourage copyright infringement, which is not the same thing.

"...exactly how your car works?" Yes, car geek

"How every food you eat is specifically processed" To a large extent yes - foodie.

Better example: web development. I don't care, I don't care to read about it. I also offer little judgment on that matter. I respect the opinion of those who seem to have an informed decisions on the topic, but I don't belittle those who don't trust the opinions of these, largely self appointed, experts.

As to medicine, the medical field has a long and rich history of abuse of patient rights (from forcibly stopping breast feeding, forced sterilizations, forced infection with syphilis, not treating said victims, ect) and hubris (refusing to wash their hands is my favorite).

While I believe in vaccines, I don't fault any one for not trusting medical authorities. Dr.s are, typically, (because they are trained this way) very patronizing people that historically have not respected their patients agency.
Kalepa | Software Engineers | Machine Learning Engineers | Tech Lead | New York City, NY | ONSITE / PARTIAL REMOTE, VISA
Kalepa is a New York based, VC backed, startup building software to transform and disrupt the $1T commercial insurance market.

Engineers at Kalepa will be solving interesting and challenging problems at the intersection of big data pipelines, cutting-edge machine learning models, intuitive frontend apps, and robust infrastructure. You will be working in a small team building technology from the ground up with the latest stack.

One trillion dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance. However, the process for estimating the risk associated with a given business across various perils is still reliant on inefficient and inaccurate forms and research. This information asymmetry leads to a broken set of incentives and a poor experience for both businesses and insurers alike. By combining cutting edge data science, enterprise software, and insurance expertise, Kalepa is delivering precision underwriting at scale. Kalepa is turning real-world data into a complete understanding of risk.

Kalepa is led by a strong team with experiences from Facebook, APT (acquired by Mastercard for $600M in 2015), the Israel Defense Forces, MIT, Berkeley, and UPenn. We are backed by IA Ventures.

Really?! Like somehow having Hong Kong in rubble and surrounded by the largest army in the world is a better situation?

If Hong Kong had to rely on force of arms to win its independence, then it's defeat is nearly a foregone conclusion. They just do not have the capacity to stand up to the LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD.

Maybe, MAYBE an armed conflict in Hong Kong would sway the U.S. to intervene, but the U.S. is so averse to armed conflict right now and, frankly, today they have a very antagonistic view to foreigners. Not likely they'd be willing to take a bullet for the people of Hong Kong.

If the protestors in Hong Kong take up arms, it will only provide an excuse for Beijing to escalate.

And some people value healthcare better than others...

So let's price healthcare the right price for those who value good healthcare, like in the US, where the average Joe avoid going to the doctor, even when he is insured, or go bankrupt when he have to go to ER for a simple broken leg or die from diabetes because he can't pay the monthly 1300$ for medication and save on insuline shots.

Sure "Price Regulation" seems to be the solution.
It's likely that insurgents wouldn't be treated as irregulars or partisans under the Geneva Convention in any case, so the incentives to not just "blind away" with lasers would be more about personal reservations, retaliation, and PR.
