A moist, forested LA.

This is how one local grocery store does self checkout. One attendant for about 10 machines, only a few people working the classic checkouts.

Fear of immigrants taking jobs is one thing driving these nationalist movements. A lot of people supported Brexit on the belief that it would open more jobs for natives, the same way people here in the US think building a wall and kicking all the brown people out will bring jobs back.

But it's silly. What hasn't been automated will be once they have to choose between paying legal citizens and stepping up plans to automate.

Any relation to the mass transit system in Atlanta?

This is why the furry community is majority LGBT+. I went to my first furry convention last year, and it was like coming home. Furry Twitter is close, but doesn't quite match it. I'm going to my first Pride later this year, so I'll have something demographically similar to compare with.

Seriously. Anyone who saw me out in public on my phone would see me messing around on Twitter. They don't see me later talking bioethics in Star Trek with my friend, who does the same thing on his phone in public.

People who reduce others to what they can observe in public spaces are probably not as obnoxiously stupid as they seem, but I wouldn't know that by their public behavior.

I was springing off remyp's Star Trek reference: http://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/12050/why-four-ligh...

How many lights are there?

It comes with hundreds of effects, supports scripting, and has a huge library of user add-ons: http://stash.reaper.fm/

You must have a different definition of basic. I've never felt limited by Reaper.

I see what you mean. I'll be more thoughtful in the future.

I...am not even going to go through and read all that. You either have me confused with someone else, or you're on so many levels of prejudging that you aren't actually talking to me. This whole thing is bizarre.

Context. cd_cd is probably not talking about welfare beneficiaries in South American barrios, and neither am I. The article this thread is about focuses on a US phenomenon.

You know nothing of my life, as I know nothing of your life. Do not presume to know me because of where I live. I only know your attitude as expressed here in your comments, and that attitude is awful.

Given context, I assumed you were yet another US conservative with a bad attitude about poor people because he saw a mother with junk food in her shopping cart once.

> Same for memory compression (which only exists on the Mac IIRC) and continuity (which would be useful even if it only worked from Mac to Mac).

Windows 10 has memory compression.

This is why I consider places like Politifact/Factcheck useful. I don't always agree with their assessment, but they detail their reasoning and are generally fair. I can follow the logic, figure out where we diverge, and form my own opinion.

It's the same with SCOTUS rulings. They give a detailed account of their reasoning. Even conservative justices who I think routinely use backwards reasoning to make idiotic decisions at least tend to follow a logic absent in rulings from their conservative peers in lower courts (who tend more toward non-reasoning like "gay is bad" and "why do you hate capitalism").

I can at least follow a bizarre logic and understand how they came to the decision because there is a logic, even if the logic comes from a mindset that conflicts with my own.

The Electoral College isn't much of a secret.

The title was exactly 3 characters over the limit, so I edited it slightly.

Waph

Rhymes with waff. Fits one of Telegram's bigger demographics, too. (waff is a furry synonym for wolf)

I think in a lot of cases it's more that:

1: We know the assumptions.

2: We know the differences are often intractable (I will never relent on full LGBTQ equality, for example)

3: We can't just split off and do our own thing because we need each other for civilization to function, so we have to deal with them.

Some of us can avoid dealing with it by moving to the city/suburbs/exurbs where there's more unity, but that just postpones dealing with the problems we ran from. Eventually, elections happen, and you realize putting 50-5000 miles between you and that person who finally motivated you to leave didn't actually resolve your conflicts.

It was probably a concession, not an afterthought. Google's whole thing with Gmail was "keep all your email, don't bother organizing, search will solve all."

The article in question: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/18/business/media-websites-b...

> Advertisers adjusted spending accordingly. In the first quarter of 2016, 85 cents of every new dollar spent in online advertising will go to Google or Facebook, said Brian Nowak, a Morgan Stanley analyst.

I don't know if it's accurate, but New York Times citing an analyst at a major financial services firm seems more credible than user "cerved" on Hacker News. Do you have better information?

I didn't appreciate the versatility of this phrase until a Muslim friend said it when he found out the Falcons were headed to the Superbowl.

It's not wise to assume everyone shares your perspective.

I don't care about Y Combinator or Silicon Valley. Couldn't even tell you with confidence what companies come from the former or exist in the latter. I come here for HN.

And Medium doesn't charge anything to let you put a domain over your writing. Automattic's services are a poor deal for everyone except the very few people who make significant money through their writing and need a lot of customization, but don't want the headache of running their own WordPress.org install.

This is why I plug the few apps/tools I pay for to everyone who'll listen. I want the developers to thrive, both because they made my life better enough to get money from me, and because I know how hard it is to sell non-physical stuff.

People who know me know I wouldn't promote something if it wasn't good, so the developers benefit from existing relationships.

I suspect your desire to rank humans--high value? seriously?--affects your dating life more than your income.

> obviously nobody who isn't mentally ill supports any philosophy of slavery in 2017

I look forward to the day when mental illness isn't universally equated with negative things. I try to be forgiving of people who do this, but a lot of them are like people who supported slavery and segregation (mean, hateful, etc).

Mental illnesses are ethically neutral. People with them span the range of human experience.

This reads like an article written by someone who just heard about article spinning in 2017. Also, all the submitter's submissions are from this site, and they have no comments.
