> Is believing that some political parties (or even some people in them) court immigrants and which there were more of them because they would get more votes really "racist" and a conspiracy theory?

You know, I think you’re asking a fair and earnest question, but let’s just try to dig into the conspiracy theory part on its own.

Can you think of organizations that openly advocate for that cause?

If so, that doesn’t sound like a conspiracy theory; just a political anxiety.

But if you can’t think of any, do you think its a machination happening in the shadows? Is there any evidence that could convince you otherwise?

A lot of conspiracy theories rely on non-falsifiability and on assembling theories from suggestive evidence (a “telling statement” here or there, the ramblings of a loudmouthed ideologue, a leaked document) rather than normal signals of political behavior like an organized advocacy group or party platform statements.
> Modern religious cults are groups

...whose members are protected, the same as other religious groups, against workplace discrimination by federal (and, in this case, separately also by state) law based on association, even if there are allegations, even “credible allegations”, and even proven wrongdoing by the organization (as distinct from the particular employees) itself.

While it probably won't always result in firing, going to coworkers to complain about the concentration of people of <religion> in the workplace and the fact that they contribute to <religion> and that also there have been allegations of wrongdoing made against <religion> in general which should result in extra suspicion of its members in the company, and also that <religion> is associated with <political viewpoint> and <political viewpoint> and also <political viewpoint> which adds extra suspicion... is rarely going to go well.
The two of you don't understand what indentured servitude is. Having your choice of jobs is not indentured servitude. It's literally just a loan. Indentured servitude is when you're essentially property of the person who gave you the loan.

by ya'lls definition of Indent. Serv. any loan at all is equivalent to Ind.Servitude because you have to pay it back.

It can be both (it almost certainly is).

And as for the social awakening, acceptance is one thing (marriage and rights were a long time coming) - denial of reality for the sake of people's feelings is quite another.

100% of all LGBTQ+ people have some form of a fertility disorder.

I'm not saying that to be cruel or unkind - but if the gametes don't meet, there can be no zygote.

At an individual level it does not matter to me in the least - but when it comes to the question of universal fertility it's a different matter.
Toyota is the king of doing all 3, it's a shame US automakers underestimated the Japanese. In terms of lemons, Toyota only has one every ~11.6 Million cars, while the lowest performer is Fiat with one lemon every 76k (Jeep, which is the same company as Fiat, at 131k). This publication didn't track Tesla, as the Model 3 started mass production 2 years after this article.

Elon is crossing the line repeatedly and it is going to bring opposition out of the woodwork in all directions.

For instance people are usually better behaved in public than they are in private, who's going to take his claims he's innocent of sexual harassment seriously if he is lewd in public?

Workers, investors, and customers of Elon Musk's companies and the general public are being endangered by his senseless bullshit. With great power comes great responsibility.

It's a form of norm-breaking like Trump's Jan 6 attack or Xi's plan to get himself a third term. (e.g. China has a system very different from ours but it has internal norms just like we do.)

Sure. I was mainly concerned with the idea that most people are dating for marriage which I don't think is the case, at least under age 30.

But I think it's possible to be a relationship expert even with one or two real relationships. Two sets of people that have been married to only one person are not necessarily equally happy or fulfilled. A person could also make relationships their personal interest and spend a lot of time thinking about the topic on top of their lived experience which might make them more capable of giving advice.

I think it's wrong to say anyone giving advice isn't worth listening to.
For one thing, if the reason someone was hired is because they're from Oregon House, that likely means they weren't hired because of their profile as a good candidate for Google. That's a fundamental conflict of interest in nepotistic hiring. Google should definitely care about that, even apart from the links between the nepotistic group and criminal activity.
Depends on your state. In the south many of them said that they had restrictions, but in reality did nothing.
Obviously they don't fear divine judgement. In other words, it is evidence that a large percentage of Catholic clergy simply doesn't believe in God. There are websites out there dedicated to religious clergy who doesn't believe in God but has no choice but to continue spreading BS.

I don’t think the anyone was saying that it takes a conspiracy theory to see that immigration policy is an ongoing political debate with politicians on either side.

But if you think everybody you disagree with is acting with secret ulterior motives that they never divulge publicly (or only in slip ups), you get a a lot closer to one.
I would add author Kim Stanley Robinson to this list. He refers to his work as "political science fiction" and makes the case that climate change will require humanity to re-evaluate capitalist economic structures and priorities that have treated the environment as externalities, while prioritizing short-term profit for the few over the longterm well-being of life on earth.

Strategic debt default is a key plot point in "New York 2140". "Ministry for the Future" explores Keynes and Piketty, and has a strong focus on how we could re-tool economies to incentivize atmospheric carbon reduction and actually meeting human needs.

I think that when you have large enough systems that works. I do not believe that "microservice" is the right size for repo splits.

Sometimes you have to ship a feature. Shipping that requires changing 3 parts of your app. A lot of times that _entire_ set of changes is less than 100 lines of code.

Having a full vision of what is being accomplished across your system in one go is very helpful for reviewing code! It justifies the need for changes, makes it easier to propose alternatives, and makes the go/no-go operation much more straightforward.

At a smaller scale, you often see the idea of splitting frontend and backend into separate repos. Of course you can ship an API and then ship the changes to the frontend. But for a lot of trivial stuff, just having both lets you actually see API usage in practice.

I think this is much more applicable for companies under 100 people though. When you get super large you're going to put into place a superstructure that will cause these splits anyways.

> Can you think of organizations that openly advocate for that cause? If so, that doesn’t sound like a conspiracy theory; just a political anxiety.

I mean, that's basically saying that it is happening, but it's not a conspiracy. "Yes all these things you fear are in fact happening and you are being replaced, but it's not a conspiracy we're doing it in the open" is not the usual retort.

And I believe the proponents of the great replacement conspiracy theory don't even call it a conspiracy theory - to them, it's just "the great replacement". "Conspiracy theory" is tacked on largely by its detractors.

AIUI, IIRC, Khafre left a stele leaning against the Sphinx boasting of repair work he did on it. That seems wholly incompatible with making it.

In general, we can almost always only establish a younger bound on age of any stone construction. Sky's the limit for how old something might be.

Giza is absolutely perforated with tunnels, most carefully not inspected. Hawass used to insist ground penetrating radar was bunk, and would not look at results, never mind commission any.

There is far more unknown about Egyptian prehistory than is known. Whoever built things there was very, very smart. They really did achieve things that seem to us impossible to people with their resources. We can anyway be certain they did not do it all with copper chisels.

We have actual documents with good dates describing work done on facing stones on one of the pyramids. But I don't think we have any way to know if it was original construction or repair work. Egyptians were always very proud of their restoration work, often to the point of chiseling out the builder's cartouche and carving their own in its place.

But the very oldest stonework had no identifying marks at all, and there must have been a serious taboo about tagging any Giza pyramid. They loved tagging everything else. So most things are identified with whoever tagged it last. This is often obviously absurd, as when the tagging is crude hackwork on an exquisite sculpture. There is absolutely no embarrassment about this, evident.

It's an appropriate exhortation to pay attention to key details and doesn't involve any insult. And this is unresponsive to just about everything in my previous comment about why invoking etiquette in this context was unconstructive.
Easy to use technologies are simple. Powerful technologies are not.

Apple’s trick is to make powerful things seem simple. They do this by, basically, hiding a lot of features. This makes it easy for unsophisticated users to get going. And power users are willing put in the effort to learn more (that’s what defines a power user).

Apple is hardly alone in this. The “full-page screenshot” feature of Chrome is hidden like 3 clicks deep inside the inspector.
Although I'd probably be described as "far right" according to some opinions, I still use Firefox for the sites where IE won't work, because the alternative is Chrome. I loathe all their politics, but still further hate the fact that all browsers seem to be going down the same (Google-lead) path.

When it comes to computing, the enemy isn't really "the other side" politically. It's Big Tech. I agree that the politics are a distraction, and that might actually be the intended effect --- to distract away from the monopoly that's forming. Both sides should realise and unite against that.
I would think the same... and from reading the comments in this thread, it seems like a pretty spicy topic.

gametes can easily meet in BTQ+ relationships. L&G, too, especially if there is T involved.

cis-cis L & G relationships aren't the whole of the LGBTQ+ space.
Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple all need their monopolies controlled and broken up. Developers and software need a reality check on their pay levels and valuations. We should get back to building more real shit instead of being the world's provider of advertising and PII theft.
While it's great to maintain good enough unit economics to not have to pull stunts like this one, it's not necessarily always a plus from a customer perspective.

Comparing Mercury and Brex/Ramp specifically, Mercury is notably missing rewards on transactions, while Ramp has unlimited 1.5% cashback, and Brex has a bunch of multipliers ranging from 7x to 1x points.

If I have access to all of the options above, it would be financially irresponsible for me to spend through Mercury.

Would like to see Mercury get more competitive here even at the cost of less cushy unit economics.

EDIT: Some of the replies here seem to think Brex is shutting down entirely? Please read the actual article and the founder response above. They're only shutting down operations for small businesses, presumably because that's the only segment that doesn't have sustainable unit economics. % rewards on spend from interchange revenue has been around for decades. The model works, given the right set of customers and credit risk profiles.

Well, it's more like each party has a core 25 to 30% and the rest are independent moderates and then the core of the other party --so when one party does something it's more or less representing 25 to 30% of the voting pop. So the other are 70 to 75%

>We don't have them though because no one wants them to exist, not the barbers, schools, salons, public or government. Consider that being a barber who only gives buzz cuts is like being a programmer who only writes web-scraping scripts on freelance sites. They could exist though, theoretically.

We don't know that because it is illegal. Most men cut use Clippers and scissors. There are businesses that operate all day doing these haircuts. You can teach someone how not to cut an ear off, poke an eye out with scissors and clippers very quickly. There is no regulatory middle option. Even if there is no demand, there could still be a regulatory middle option.

Hmm, I recently built a site on Zola, and rebuilding the whole blog (including a theme with around 10 files of Sass) compiles in a few dozen milliseconds, and around 1 second on a 15 year old Core 2 Duo. But then again this is compiled Rust camping into libsass, which (despite Rust's dependency auditing nightmare) compiles to low-overhead executables. And apparently libsass is now deprecated for Dart Sass which relies on JS or the Dart VM.

It does, I guess I glossed over it!

My point still stands about the tile-for-tile remake though. I thoroughly enjoyed them. But then I wasn't at all bothered about fighting wild pokemon, and honestly the original games had virtually zero difficulty for me anyway. Just waste a bunch of time fighting wild pokemon to boost your stats every so often, then carry on winning at everything. There are reasons to try things like that in the new game - catching the same pokemon multiple times increases the chances of shinies appearing, and pokemon with better stats.

Each to their own, but for me it was a good nostalgia kick, and I'm not going to get upset if some of the mechanics have changed a bit.
To me, there's a venn diagram. some cults are religions. Some are just cults and not religions.

While that is true, I don't think that's such as useful take.

They are mainly discriminating against people who are more qualified for the jobs; basically the entire world that isn't Oregon House.

If the Crips gang infiltrated Google and were only hiring Crips, you wouldn't say that they are unfairly discriminating against other perfectly good gangs like Bloods, as the main issue.

(I understand that the analogy is far from perfect, because gang membership isn't a constitutionally protected class, but still ...)

> I like the variety and choice of WMs on Linux and the Gnome / Wayland crowd do seem to add friction to the other contenders.

This is a big problem because this friction they add on purpose hurts users of other wm/desktops that don't get their preferred wm/de working correctly.

And it also hurts other open-source developers because it seems the only ones doing something right are the Gnome devs, when in fact the others devs are having problems only because Gnome devs.
>Everything that's new in the pool might be better than everything that's old.

It "might", but the empirical observation behind the Lindy effect points that this is unlikely (if we take "better" to mean "more fit to live and grow old and still used").

Sure, we haven't seen the new things develop yet. But we have seen that most new things dont survice time: the things that survive are a small subset of each "new things" (say, vi and emacs, and not one of 100+ 70s programming editors).

I don't call that "progress" --- perhaps progress towards a Google monopoly, if you really insist. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Change is Google's weapon. They can churn the standards all they want in order to outrun competitors because only they are big enough to do that. All that "pushing the web forward" BS was merely an euphemism for Google to take control of the Internet with its gigantic army of ADHD-driven developers.
I assume they will support FedNow instant payments as they’re rolled out over the next 18-24 months. Those payments cost the financial services provider 5 cents per transaction up to between $100k and $500k (depending on configuration with the Fed). They settle immediately 24/7/365. Wires via FedWire will be reserved for amounts between $500k and $50M, which doesn’t sound like a $20 fee would be unreasonable for to account for human review of the transfer.

Edit: I didn’t even know Mercury doesn’t charge for sending wires. As a customer, I’m delighted.

Keto is just like IF in the sense that it’s only as beneficial as the caloric deficit you achieve. All of the benefits you mentioned are what you would receive from simply having a normal balanced diet, and you wouldn’t have to have any of the cons. Which include a surprisingly high level of muscle catabolism, and huge cortisol spikes while your body adapts (which people call “keto flu”). The muscle loss is especially bad because in addition to being something most people don’t want, it also lowers your BMR and makes weight management even more difficult. It’s also very hard to hit all your micros on a keto diet, which is one of several reason that it’s especially unhealthy to do for a extended periods.

If you’re looking for a crash diet (which isn’t a great idea to begin with), there are easier and healthier ones than keto. There are no scenarios where it would be the best choice, and that’s if you’re doing one of the more sensible versions of the diet, opposed to the even more insane unlimited-fat-calories versions.
