Django is definitely my reason for not moving over to Python3.

Not hating on all the people in tech media. I'm hating on two specific people in tech media. Two people who, in my experience reading their material, are biased and their opinions shouldn't hold as much weight as they do.
Do you really think that it is okay that they are allowed to be in journalism in an area where they both have financial stake in companies they report on?

I really don't think the return of two seriously biased writers to an already biased media company is important. Sorry.

I avoid TechCrunch at all costs. I can always find the story somewhere else, and it almost always has more substance than TC's article.

Because it isn't. Who writes for TechCrunch is not front page worthy news.
EDIT: There always seems to be some air of schoolboy drama surrounding TechCrunch.
For example:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2011/sep/15/techcrunch-a...
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505124_162-43452680/techcrunch-d...
And I'm sure that this news will spur some, too. Who cares?

Why isn't it? The use of racism regardless of any factor is wrong. You are still condoning one person's use of racism over another. Setting does not dictate when racism is okay.
Edit: Also legal action? Im sure his use of "dumbwhite motherfucker" in court will go over very well. Come on...
Re:Racism at a gaming company

So racism is okay as long as it's not in a professional setting?
Re:Racism at a gaming company
on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @05:03PM (#4604280)
Except it really does. I fully support a good rant to get something off the chest. The OP is so intensely focused on the race of his attackers, that it is debilitating to the rest of his problem. It makes him look just as bad as his attackers for stooping to the race level.
Re:Racism at a gaming company
on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @04:36PM (#4604113)
That bit of context is irrelevant. He frequently used the extremely general term, "Dumbwhite motherfucker.", which is blatantly racist and makes his complete argument null and void, because the comments he makes in this post are no better than the crap he heard at his job.
Sincerity and respect for a person's race does not take a backseat just because someone made racist remarks to someone else. I've been the victim of racist remarks and I'm white, that doesn't make it okay for me to refer to the other person by their race. In fact, it makes it WORSE.
Being tolerant of ANYONE using racism for ANY reason is not okay.
EDIT: The more I read your comment, the more it looks like you support racism as a means of retaliation to racism. This is why racism still (and always) exists.

This is an incredible write up. It's no surprise that the insides of these tiny cubes are well engineered, but it is very interesting to see, and learn, the schematics that make it work so well.
I think it's worth the price tag. Guaranteed clean and even 5v power is extremely useful. I use that cube to charge everything. Phones, Kindle, etc.

The author goes on to explain how he messed up their friendship. So even if they aren't friends, I can't see that being anything else but a joke.

Thanks for this. I was the "weird" kid in junior high and someone just like you gave me that speech. It helped tremendously, and you changed that kid's life.

He made a joke. Laugh at it. Not one part of that had anything to do with bigotry. Relax.

Re:Why you shouldn't invite Yehuda Katz to your user group meeting
on Thursday April 12, 2012 @11:51AM (#3832844)
It's basic etiquette to not interrupt someone in that manner if they have the podium. Even if he was right, he should've waited. Real douche move to do that to someone's entire presentation.
I'm all for speaking your mind in public, and standing up for an opinion, but timing is everything. Yehuda Katz has poor timing.
