Thanks (((James Traub))) for the insightful article.
>memo about why men are naturally better at computers than women

oh, boy

If it's not in your self-interest what's the problem? They're certainly not immigrating for your benefit.

Last I checked the Arch website was run by a Debian box, not to mention funded by Debian.

You're the only one.

Didn't even have to finish the headline to know it was the UK.
Setting themselves up for a fall with all the recent rules and fees they're adding.

> Stop right there. Repeat after me: Dwarf mongooses are not people.

They say this several times while continuing with their inappropriate immigration allegory.

Re:The End of Net Neutrality = the Beginning of the Fragmented Web on Wednesday November 22, 2017 @04:19PM (#15760759)
Much like the uproar over that ISP privacy law that was never in effect, I feel like this battle was lost 10 years ago and nobody cared until Trump did something.

You won't be thwarting anything with a Google product.

I assumed the point of body cameras was simply for physical evidence after an incident, that cops might "behave" better due to some psychological effect doesn't strike me as important.

Re:Study: Tinder is making us behave like cave people on Thursday October 19, 2017 @02:18PM (#15510254)
https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/903902395352080385 was making the rounds recently, which claimed it was the top 20%, but there's so many factors like twice as many men using Tinder, and men are 6x more likely to +like anyone, I can't really make sense of it.
It confuses the idea of child porn with literal child porn, similar to hate speech/depictions of violence with literal violence, neo-Nazis with literal 1940 Nazis, historical statues with racists. Free speech makes on sense in this regressive mindset.
This politicization is disgusting and now it's ammo for the alt-right.
