I only skimmed the page, but if you think CNN represents a left wing view you do not understand left wing politics. Ranking CNN along sides Jacocbin or Fox News alongside Breitbart just shows your political ignorance. This site just comes across as painful arrogant.
Yes the like most urban areas they trend left and more ethnically diverse. Thus Texas is also trending left. I'm not sure what your point is.
Is your point that change is coming for Texas? I totally agree with that, but I think it's going to be a longer and harder fight than most think. From my experience a lot of the white population there are some of the worse bigots I've ever met.
My point was it's not a very free state, lol there are just certain specific things allowed. And it has low taxes so it's great if you're already rich and successful.
Lord you bought this story hook line and sinker...
> But its pretty diverse, and it seems that folks with opposing viewpoints can still coexist here. I like that...
You hear this a lot lately from tech bros. It's hilarious considering how many things are illegal in Texas. Ya you can buy an assault rifle, but its illegal to buy hard liquor on Sunday. Have you ever looked at their gerrymandering? Did you know during the 2016 election they didn't allow mail in ballots?
I went with what they call the "Axial coordinates". I think the alternative, "Cube coordinates", causes a lot of issues and confusion when writing game logic.
I feel like a lot of the things I've read from Paul Graham suffer from the survivor fallacy. The tech industry idolization of him is itself a form of survivor fallacy and its infatuation with "wealth makes right" is almost incestuous. Most of what he writes is just a one line fortune cookie drawn out into a 3 page essay.
I HIGHLY recommend tech workers to actually break out of your bubble. So much of our ethos is being "free thinkers", but most of the "thought" is just repeated business pep talk.
I love Rust and I love the direction its pushing. But these kinds of websites are awful. If you can't get the nuances why Rails/Django/Many other frameworks are a better solution for writing a web server than I dunno what to tell you.
Its cool they are using DP for some analytics. But its not quite the holy grail Apple and its fans has been selling it as. Because any analytics campaign using DP will always eventually average out to pure noise or end up being non-anonymous.
The fact my nation is as wealthy as it is but it does not want to invest in the health of its people is insanity to me. Health insurance is essentially a bet that someone's health cost will be less than their monthly premium. Why would my country not take on that bet? It seems like something that would be way more effective if it was orchestrated on a national level. (ノಥ,_｣ಥ)ノ彡┻━┻
