tl;dr: whatabout "statements issued by Apple, Nike and Coca-Cola among others that no signs of "forced labor" have been found."

Those are indeed failings of western companies and governments. Those failings do not justify ignoring CCP actions toward Uyghurs

> The trouble is that in the real world people who criticize Israel and not antisemitic are vanishingly rare.

Where is your evidence for this?

By evidence, I mean

  1) empirical, not anecdotal
  2) from a non-partisan source

By this logic, one can't be anti-CCP without being anti-chinese.

As a happy user of both PHP (for web dev) and Python (for just about everything else), this is a pretty shitty article

@emptybottle - I don't know why this is happening, but it is:

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to doc.tidalcycles.org. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

I did indeed miss the examples.

(Another UX nudge... the logic tool uses a folder icon to get to the examples, while th graph tool uses an "Open" button)

Thanks for sharing these!

IMO, they'd be much more helpful/accessible with some default examples. For example, the graph algorithm and logic expression tools just drop you into a blank canvas.

This isn't a question. It's an argument disguised as a series of questions.

Nevertheless, the answer to the title's question is: we'll all be living in abject poverty while you're yelling "told you so"

> A sign of the times it seems

Not even close.

People do immoral, unethical or illegal things if they see an advantage in doing so.

People have been doing such things since well before the onset of recorded history.

In some circles, it's even celebrated (Uber, AirB&B...)

Your first link is from TCU (tcu.edu), Texas Christian University. The entirety of TCU is opposed to birth control.

Your second link lists only St. Anthony Family Practice Residency Program as an affiliation.

I can't say one way or the other whether your assertions are valid. But your choice of sources warrants caution.

"Crickets" means that there was no response. It was so quiet that you could hear the crickets chirping.

Always means bad

There are direct answers to your question. I'm going to limit my reply to an indirect, but more important answer:

You don't have to be an asshole to be creative

edit: To be perfectly clear, I'm not accusing or disparaging the poster. I'm stating a general principle

But veiled implications of some kind of media or government conspiracy during an election year has a place on HN? Based on your 42 days of residence here?

Honest question - if you characterize this as baseless fearmongering, how would you characterize Jade Helm, the Bowling Green Massacre, Reconquista or whatever name applies to the terrorist immigrant onslaught that Trump ranted about incessantly during the 2018 election?
