Can I get some more down votes, please? This isn't absurd enough yet.
You'd have to be a buffoon to not take safety for yourself and others seriously. That being said, it's about time people in positions of power woke-up and smelled the Constitution.
Downvote me all you want, it doesn't make you right:
"An agency cannot confer on itself the power to dictate the lives of law-abiding individuals as comprehensively as the order does without reaching beyond the executive branch's authority," the justices wrote in their decision Wednesday.
> YouTube has clear policies prohibiting any content that disputes the existence and transmission of Covid-19 as described by the WHO [World Health Organization] and the NHS [the U.K's healthcare system] [emphasis added]
The WHO at least has been flat out wrong several times during this pandemic, such as telling people not to wear masks. Anointing one agency as the sole source of truth and censoring anything that contradicts it is not going to lead to a good outcome. People need to be able to question authorities.
I agree. It's the spirit in which these actions have been taken, as if to conform to a narrative, which in itself, has see-sawed between facts and fiction, as to almost being intentionally confusing. It's not a "conspiracy theory" to ask questions, critical thinking has taken a huge blow since 9/11.
My guess is it hinders the mind's ability to react negatively as quickly and allow mental processes to do their thing, so to speak, more objectively. IE: not jumping to conclusions.
Are there even laws anymore? It seems like the law only applies to non-corporate entities and citizens. If you're in politics, law enforcement, or the Fortune 500, expect zero consequences for breaking the law. Exceptions exist but aren't the rule.
Listen to KCRW radio.
Listen to DJs that play the genre of music you like.
Radio is still the best way to disconver new music.
Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 is also another one of my go-to's.
I appreciate an eclectic mix of recently released music (KCRW) and jazz, world, tasteful hip hop, etc. (Gilles).
Apple has their hands tied because of all the factories churning out their products that would come to a standstill if the Chinese government decided it wanted to. It's sad and unfortunate, but what other business decision would a CEO make if 80-90% of their future revenue stream disappeared overnight? Can someone else help me play devil's advocate? In any case, if we're so innovative as a country why can't we make more stuff here, that's the only solution, not globalism. This scenario is an unintended consequence of globalism. Apple isn't intentionally being bad, they probably don't have a choice, right? They put too many eggs in one basket. You can say too bad, but when the banks were bailed out, I was saying they deserved to go under as well.
If it means anything, reading the first part of it inspired me to want to contribute to it, if at all ever possible, because I believe Django is important enough to sustain and to recognize these issues before they evolve into problems is good idea.
I agree, I've used this package since the beginning. Python is my favorite computer language so far. I started with Flash, then HTML & CSS, then jQuery, PHP, MySQL, etc.
Could not mention Python without Virtualenv, Django, and Flask. To me, these tools are like LEGO for programming.
I like JS too, who wouldn't? People literally live on the internet.
I guess we learned nothing from the 20th century. While our country, at least used to, pride itself and base it's image upon excoriating unjust governmental overreach abroad (East Germany), it has become exactly what it once bemoaned.
PHP was my first bike, so to speak, so I can't knock it. Plus later I learned Slack was written in PHP, and I was like, whoa! I definitely think it gets a bad rap, mainly because it's almost too easy to use, correctly and incorrectly.
The most top-voted Hacker News comments are always just Astroturfed, regurgitated, circlejerk PR that always seem to slyly play the devil's advocate. Who are these educated and responsible citizens that come out of the woodwork to defend the huge and vulnerable billion-dollar companies, ultra-humanitarians, or just ambitious, above-average students studying for a reading comprehension exam?
Case in point. Thanks. Also, the moderators seem to have no life. Please deactivate my account if you're offended. I'd prefer not to spend more time attempting to communicate with one dimensional, armchair experts.
