If this surprises you you are not well informed.

Why people aren't outraged by stuff like this I have absolutely no idea.

completely agree. I'm not going to raise a stink if a project uses something other than master but I will continue to use master.

I like this article but this is actually a good point. "The rich" is mostly used in a negative way.

I'd argue this is because most attempts to reduce large groups of people to an idea like "the rich" or "the poor" are done in bad faith.

A support of this would be, within academic sociology or economics these terms will be used in a non slur way and it's because they actually have a reason to be thinking in terms of these groups instead of throwing them out as stawmen for some argument

This article is half a year old, just for reference.

The entire top level point of the article, the part that is literally the focus of the title, is a recommendation not to call groups by names they don't like.

Did you read the article? Or did you read the first two paragaphs and decide it was wrong thought and go to yell to the internet?

There is not "about a hundred yen per usd".

Awesome how almost every time I see almost anything asserted on HN within my areas of expertise it will reliably be dramatically incorrect.

USD/YEN > 150

You are just encouraging fake news. Please don't ask people to substantiate anecdotes. It's better to just accept the narrative if it fits the consensus.

This obsession with "proof" and "data" is anti scientific.

Imagine being simple enough to buy this narrative wholesale.

There's one objectively correct version of understanding the world and the important idea is to camp people into binary groups of "believes correct news" or "believes fake news"

This shit really pisses me off because my brother did 23 and me which pretty much means my data is in there without consent.

good to see a single person in this thread understanding the problem in a sea of the willfully ignorant
