> Or for the biggest example of modern cancel culture, Kaepernick's firing after targeting by the president.

Kaepernick was "fired" because he was poor at his job. Defenses started to understand his 1-dimensional attack and then shut it down. He was cut after the 2016 season, but had been benched in 2015 because the 49ers offense was struggling.[1] This was nine months before he ever took a knee before a game.[2] Did the 49ers look into a crystal ball and decide to bench him in favor of a demonstrably mediocre quarterback because of something that wouldn't happen for nine months? If he didn't show actual improvement on the field, were the 49ers obligated to keep him? Is an employer obligated to keep any employee who says something controversial regardless of performance?

> Be charitable, he could be talking about the Dixie Chicks or anchors that were fired for questioning the Iraq war.

Which anchors lost their jobs for questioning Iraq? Dan Rather stepped down for his role in publishing a hoax memo about George W. Bush's National Guard duty.[3] Brian Williams was quasi-fired for embellishing a story about his time as an embedded journalist in Iraq.[4]

The Dixie Chicks were actually blacklisted by country music radio stations, so we'll give you that one.

Still, .333 isn't great unless you're playing baseball.

If the virus were truly airborne, which it isn't, then simply walking through an empty room could get you infected. The levels of people getting infected, and subsequently getting hospitalized would be far worse than the worst scenes we saw in Italy and NYC. Lockdowns absolutely would have been mandatory for months upon months.

Coronavirus is not by itself a tremendously deadly disease. The problem is how infectious it is, and how quickly it can overrun a limited hospital system. Even at a sub-10% hospitalization rate for people younger than 60, we are seeing many hospitals getting full. It being truly airborne would make things worse by many orders of magnitude. The way coronavirus spreads is basically the same mechanism as the flu and the cold, yet the levels of people getting infected are much much worse. Imagine if simply walking through a room could get you infected. The spread would be undeniably worse than anything we had every seen before. Even stores like Costco and all factories would have to shut down. So yes, very strict lockdowns would need to be in place.

Thank goodness it's not.

Finally! A small phone with decent specs and a headphone jack is really all I want these days (and is almost extinct as far as phone design goes). The Pixel 4a seems like a possible alternative to the S10e, which up until now was the only game in town for high quality small-form-factor smartphones.

He literally used the expression "to wind down":

"if a business, situation, activity, etc. winds down, or is wound down, it gradually ends"

So I think he meant there should be no more air travel at all.

Bit confused as to why mtgx's comment has been voted into oblivion, as it's a legitimate complaint with the Pixel line. My girlfriend has a 3a and it has taken about 3 months for the battery life to start being a minor issue; i.e. she makes sure to charge it during the day if she has somewhere to be in the evening.

It's really the only complaint I have about an otherwise good phone, and it doesn't look like the 4a really addresses it. It appears Google is looking for a software solution to battery life, which I don't disagree with, but that whole approach is basically pointless if someone happens to install Facebook on their phone.

On the positive side, the 3a has a great camera and it looks like the 4a is continuing that. I've been particularly impressed by the 3a's low-light capabilities, such as taking good photos indoors, and it's especially good considering its price.
The Pixel “a” devices and the new iPhone SE are really great news. Until recently it seemed you had to choose between a $1000 flagship phone and a $200 piece of garbage. I’m really happy to see a sensible middle ground developing at last.
Fake ad asks for attendees at 'anti-white' rally at Sturgis motorcycle event
"Disruption" of the "nuclear family" comes from the Marxist view that a monogamous family unit leads to the holding of property. In earlier non-monogamous societies, only the women knew for sure which children were theirs. That meant that property tended to accrue to communities formed around matriarchs, rather than single families.

As a father, if you didn't know who your child was, you protected them all, and had to cede property to the matriarchs.

Engels wrote that this was why "the patriarchy" should be fought and "dismantled" because it led to property ownership, and sensitivity against redistribution. Therefore, this remains a core value of modern Marxists, to move society back to fatherlessness so that establishment of redistribution mechanisms is more palatable.

Seems like a fairly horrific goal to me. Property rights have led to the single greatest increase in standard of living for all of Western civilization. Seems like we would want more people joining the system than tearing it down.
After reading this I feel like humanity might be better off if we have a full libertarian approach to information online, the Ross Ulbricht school of thought.

> and quite another to dismiss the entire publication for being less-than-perfect

The newspaper's ombudsman declined to punish the reporter in any way, or admit anything other than "oops, mistakes were made". That's what makes it a failure of the newspaper and not just "less-than-perfect" reporting. It's one example from a pattern of behavior, and the reason people are saying the NYT no longer have industry-leading editorial standards.

Let me remind you that the reporter was caught red-handed driving a car in circles in a parking lot so that he could have a more salacious story about "running out of gas". The original article stated that he coasted off the freeway into the parking lot with no energy remaining. There's no two ways about it: That's a lie.

How low do you need the p-value to be before you reject the null hypothesis? 0.0005? 5e-9?

Nobody is disputing that news is a hard business, but you can't have it both ways: If you're going to run a serious newspaper, then you need to run a serious newspaper. That means upholding editorial standards. Most importantly, that mean having real repercussions for reporters who break the trust of your readership.

> "ZOMG ALIENS!" is complete nonsense, but ... it probably also drives traffic, and thus revenue.

The owners are completely within their rights to pivot and turn the NYT into the next buzzfeed. But you're just reinforcing the point that it is no longer a serious newspaper.
Through selective omission, by presenting the non-central as central. Did the events in that article happen? Yes, probably. Would someone who gets their information from Breitbart have a roughly accurate idea of what happened at the Portland protests? No.
I have experienced this horrible chicken-and-egg problem firsthand. I worked at Zipcar building the control boxes used for rentals and the fit for Rust was obvious and compelling, but was squashed by management because it was "too hard to hire" and "the language is underdeveloped". While those things are true, to fix them someone has to just do it. Instead, they fired me and now I make twice the money doing SRE work again at a FAANG.

Station A | Full-stack software engineers | Based in SF/Oakland, but remote-friendly | https://stationa.com

Station A is the first AI-powered clean energy marketplace that aims to make clean energy cheaper and faster to deploy, build a cleaner and more resilient grid, and ultimately to create an ecosystem that brings more equitable access to clean energy.

We are currently a team of five (three engineers), based in San Francisco and Oakland, and recently closed our seed round (https://blog.stationa.com/2020/seed-round-closed). We're now looking to grow our engineering team by adding two new full-stack software engineers. This team will continue development of our product that enables anyone to easily power a building with 100% clean energy.

If you're reading this and are thinking to yourself "I don't know the first thing about the energy industry," please do not hesitate to get in touch with me anyway! I too started out working in e-commerce, ad-tech, and other "traditional" software companies, and I've found that nothing compares to the impact you can have by working on a problem that matters to you. In fact, one of our key strengths is in combining these complementary perspectives: industry outsiders to challenge the status quo and industry experts to provide deep knowledge and experience. This will only continue as we strive to cultivate a diverse, resilient, and impact-driven culture.

While I agree with your first point, I think you are giving an uncharitable reading of the comment. "Just a reminder", to me, sounds like it is trying to append a relevant point, rather than disagree with/discredit the original point.

A version of the comment excluding that ("Acknowledge how exceedingly well this works for white guys and the uphill battle faced by others.") sounds like an aggressive accusation.
One of the biggest reasons I'm happy with the increasing competition in the budget segments is that they're starting to make the 'right' sacrifices, slightly negating the distinctive features and advantages of flagship phones. Flagship phones will either have to adapt (introducing more useful features and not extra camera-bloat), or people will just keep buying the cheaper ones.
This keeps being repeated and repeated and it is just a myth.

Even without a package manager adding dependencies manually is quite easy for the vast majority of popular libraries. With a manager it is the same as cargo.

I assume you are talking about old, broken, unsupported, closed source, binary only libraries, but then it is not a meaningful comparison.
It's even worse than that, their sentence after the quote implies PG said something about FB stock.

https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1236980342667575296?s=20

The NYT writer isn't mistakenly summarizing, they're actively misleading. They had to read through PG's post and selectively pick a line that they could stuff into the position they already had, to say the thing they already wanted to say. It's just motivated reasoning and the primary sources aren't being used as sources beyond something they can vaguely mention to pretend it supports what they wanted to say anyway.

That isn't journalism - or at least it shouldn't be.

I am still shocked: months after research has shown that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne stable in aerosol form for over 3 hours, we still aren’t telling the public that room air purifiers are a ‘good thing’ (for making indoor air like outdoor air - in regards to virion density per cubic air volume)

The filter technology is essentially the same as in the N95, orders of magnitude more effective than cloth masks.
