Unsurprisingly history repeats itself, there will always be people who reject the unknown for the comforts of the past.

Would be interesting to know how much of it is result of AI and how much because the government is looking into their H1B practices, aka how much of the people who got this offer are under H1B.

Having an "open source" mobile os that is still for all purposes ruled by google was a evil genius level of move.

We need a truly open-source os, everything else is going to be a patch over a bullet hole.

Centralized motivated groups have more political power than their "percentage" would suggest, that's why we have kosher/gluten/halal labels everywhere.

why would you have such a phase? why turn off nuclear before you have your renewables in place?

History shows that very smart people and even groups of very smart people can do remarkably stupid things, pointing out their obvious errors is not a statement of intellectual superiority.

The climate change advocates have lost all their credibility by lobbying against nuclear. Because of their religious fanaticism Germany closed their nuclear plants and is compensating for it by burning coal. If this wasn't so tragic it would be hell of a comedy.

considering only ~15% of the population are immigrants this isn't looking good for them, there has also been documented a constant bias from the government to undercount immigrant related crimes.

That assumes the constitution isn't tyrannical or hasn't been conceived at a time where everything was different. It's like telling a slave you should follow the law because it's the law.

You can't fully roll up the first page >:(

pros of having a Github repo:

* people can find your project easily

* stars are a pretty good indicator of authenticity

* you can browse, search code right away

* a place for people to contact you

cons:

* some maintenance

* people have a place to contact you

If a constitution had a pro slavery clause and a party is trying to change that we would consider them heroes, so why is it such a bad thing to change the system if it is failing to provide for the people?

Let me tell you a secret, most people even more so none Europeans use derogatory terms of that level daily in their private conversations. Considering the rape rates in the EU you can't begrudge some Germans having low opinion of Muslims.

The EU is a little bit more tame than the US, but not by much, also those are private emails, not public statements. My point is using such language is (unfortunately) not something "scandalous".
