Yeah people like you did a lot of work to hide apple’s planned obsolence in the past, wouldnt be entirely shocked if this was the case. Now you can apply for a job at apple showing what a good sheeple you are.

Good point - wondering if open source projects that copy commercial products should be liable for copyright infringement.

I am not sure why you deleted your comment - I know the HN commentariat will downvote anything contrary to its liking, but this is a forum for debating issues. I managed to read it quickly, and while I disagree with it, I welcome it.

I welcome it because I can input my opinion and maybe shed some light on why i think you are wrong.

You posted about raw numbers of whites in poverty vs blacks in poverty. By raw numbers you are right, there are more white people living in poverty. But there are more white people overall.

"According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%). Whites had a poverty rate of 10.1%, while Asians had a poverty rate at 10.1%." - that means the likelihood of black people and native americans being poor is higher than that of whites.

You also implied I think all whites are racists. If I would have than it would have been racist towards white people. I think whitepeople as a people are not racist, but there is a solid number of white people being racist. This doesn't make all of them racist, just like some criminals from the black community doesn't make all black people racist.

Scholarships are meant to try and help members of that group gain education. White people are more likely to be able to attend university. Doesn't mean there are no white people who can't afford education. The issue is not that blacks are getting scholarships, the issue is that education is too expensive and only a few afford it.

You finished your comment with "no shit" to my statement that society belongs to everyone. You are right, but some disagree with you.

I remember personally speaking to a white american back when the new orleans floods happened, and he point blank told me "it's the ni* who get fu". I remember a friend who went on a trip to NY with his white lawyer friends stating that smoking weed while driving is fine, because the police will only stop the "ni". I also remember images of LA, SF, NY, and their ghettos where there are mainly black people.

As I said, I welcome debate. That's the only way we can get to the bottom of what is going on.

Great, now let's look into why they commit so much crime - perhaps because they have been marginalised for generations, depicted as criminals, denied education, pushed towards the edge of society? Your statement is like saying Jews in Germany didn't contribute tax, while they were "living" in concentration camps. It is time for the US to pull out of the middle ages and become a modern country. A society belongs to everyone, regardless of "race", "religion", and so on.

You mean to tell me I can just call the police on a black person that happens to be in my store, they get killed, and we call it a day? Everything that results in some sort of police punishment must be investigated, even if the person is dead. Both the crime that may have led to the police being called, shooting at the police, and then police handling of the situation.

True - but I am referring to useless open source posts. Forgot to add those claiming OOP, code documentation, and so on, are useless. Waste of time and are a distraction from what you mentioned.

Shouldnt the UN condemn what is going on in the US? Police ramming protesters, shooting people filming from their own property, and so on reminds a lot about HK protests. Rohynga, Uyghurs, Black Americans, Native Americans are tortured in these 3rd world countries and the UN does NOTHING.
