The term "unconscious bias" is based on the (false) assumption that every group of human is exactly identical.
It is 100% a political term that is shoved at people to make them feel like a bad person for noticing differences where there actually are differences.
If you want to eliminate "unconscious bias" you are trying to create a society where women talk to men in the exact same way that they talk to other women, women act the exact same way around attractive men as they do around ugly men, adults talk to a 5 year old the same way that they would talk to a 95 year old.
i.e. a delusional utopia that is completely detached from nature and reality, and which has never existed in any society.
"open source" and "free software" are two words for the exact same thing.
Both of them are pretty poor descriptors. "open source" doesn't convey the legal freedom you are granted (as you have just found out), and "free software" makes it sound like it's just about price.
If someone lets you see source code but doesn't allow you to do anything with that code it's not what people would call "open source", you could probably call it source-available or something. "open source" has a specific legal definition that means code released with a permissive license.
Disc brakes were available in 1975, wide tires before that. Dropper posts I consider to be a gimmick. 1x drivetrains do have some drawbacks, but I consider them overall to be a good improvement to the simplicity of a bike so I will grant you that.
I don't think there's any market. The only people who buy macs are people that have no intention of playing videogames on that system.
I personally transitioned from Windows -> Linux -> MacOS, and each switch correlated exactly with how much I was playing videogames at that time. I don't play games anymore which is why I'm perfectly content using a mac. If I wanted to play games again I would go back to linux, or all the way back to windows.
The vendors are the GPU manufacturers. And both AMD and Nvidia offer full support for OpenGL and Vulkan.
There is no reason why I should have to use a different APIs to access the exact same graphics hardware depending on whether I'm running Windows, Linux or MacOS.
So which way do you want it then? Multiculturalism, with all the "nonsense" that comes from those cultures, or do you just want every brown person to come to america and start acting white?
I thought one of the big benefits of multiculturalism (that all big businesses love to tout) is how it brings diversity of cultural values to the workplace. Well I guess mission accomplished because now you've got the indian caste system in the workplace.
You consider "true counterculture" things like LGBT and veganism, that are openly supported by every western government and corporation? Really?
When you call other forms of counterculture "harmful" what you're really saying is "things that my culture has told me are harmful", or in other words "things that are counter to my culture".
I think the problem is that javascript has stopped being one language of many and has become the language.
There are hundreds of thousands of developers now who only know javascript. They have no perception of the parts of javascript that are badly designed because they don't know any other language. They think that computers taking 500ms to render a webpage is just how slow computers are because that's how it is with javascript. They think desktop applications that use 400MB of memory on startup are normal.
People no longer weigh up the pros and cons of javascript and decide it is the best option for a certain project. Javascript is all they know, and it shapes their entire view of programming.
We have known that certain plastics mimic estrogen in the body for well over 10 years now. BPA is banned for use in baby products in most western countries for this exact reason, but is still present in thermal receipts and the majority of food and drink cans.
Puberty starts earlier than it used to *for girls*. Which surely points towards plastics and phytoestrogens in food as being the much more likely cause than improved nutrition or obesity which would affects both boys and girls equally.
Not once was laziness mentioned, you are projecting. The post is just someone sharing that their own experience is completely different to that of the parent.
>If some people genuinely have problems and some genuinely don't
You only gather data to reach that conclusion by letting both sides talk about their experiences, not by telling one side "you're rude, shut up and listen more".
