That's an awful lot of projection on your part. Truth is completely separate from skin color or sex. You and other DEI virtue signaling white knights are engaging in the worst racism of all.

"They genuinely believe I can’t get a job without a DEI quota, that I can’t work out how to get ID to vote, that I have to commit crime to survive and so shouldn’t be held accountable for my actions.

In their eyes I’m a helpless victim who needs saving by my benevolent white middle class liberal saviour. Without them I’m apparently destined for crime and poverty.

They convince themselves that this makes them good people. But the moment you challenge that thinking, you become a “bad” ethnic minority that’s ungrateful and deserving of abuse and punishment.

Their racism is 20-30% of the country and hides behind virtue which is what makes it so dangerous."

Definitely not an encyclopedia that is supposed to be objective.

"All of their money pays for real expenses"

Not true, nearly 30% of their budget goes to partisan activism with DEI related initiatives.

"Supporting equity represents the second largest part of our programmatic work"

What do you think of this counterpoint from Balaji?

"CZ deserves his pardon.

His show trial of a prosecution was a combination of regulatory railroading and ethnic persecution for being Chinese-Canadian.

Imagine if Macron was held personally responsible for every crime committed by the 67M citizens of France, and you'll get the absurdity of holding CZ personally responsible for the actions of a few of the 250M+ Binance users.

Indeed, if the bureaucrats who went after CZ were similarly held accountable for every violent crime committed in their home states, they'd be in prison for eternity! But there was an insane double standard. In the physical world, the Biden admin gleefully abolished the police. Meanwhile, in the digital world they demanded that CEOs achieve impossible levels of probity.

The ethnic dimension to CZ's persecution was similarly execrable. In reality, he helped many millions of Chinese people get into Bitcoin and thereby get to freedom. And also helped millions of poor people from around the globe get out of failed currencies, and into cryptocurrency.

So he did more for practical human rights and civil liberties than most. CZ did nothing wrong, and did so many things right.

Of course, my friends at Coinbase and I were competitors of Binance. But I always respected CZ, and I congratulate him on his accomplishments, and I congratulate him on his pardon today. Well deserved."

Reading a book is a chore, but reading HN, Reddit, Discord and X isn't. People find it hard to not read them.

I believe it. There are companies that invested hundreds of engineering hours to rename master to main.

What's scary is how many people seem to actually want this.

What happens when hundreds of millions of people have an AI that affirms most of what they say?

It's naive and dismissive of the corruption to think it's not both sides. You're literally only seeing half the picture.

It's not new and it's far more broad than that. The staggering government corruption and incompetence has been ignored for decades. You can't just pretend that this is suddenly new and one sided if you want to solve the problem.

According to its cofounder, Wikipedia abandoned truth long ago.
