There was extensive documented debate at the time 14A was drafted as to whether it would apply to Chinese railroad workers and gold rush workers' children. The answer was unequivocally that yes, it did. (5/3)

As the last 4 years have shown, there are few things more dangerous than a technology which does not exist but is being sold on the premise that it does. Imagine how dangerous it would be to have a machine that people believe reads thoughts but does not. Imagine what law enforcement would do with it

The LinkedIn visionaries have come up with a solution to their AI datacenter cooling problem. It involves putting them in the coldest place they know: space. Which is extremely funny if you know like any physics at all.

I'm a little overwhelmed (positively) by their responses, fuck the organisers. It's kinda dissonant that a tournament organised for DBD, a game that wears it's inclusivity on it's shoulders, would ban trans women. Like read the fucking room, you picked the wrong game to try and elbow us out of lol

Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.

If Treasury returns are up that means the government is paying *more* to people who lend it money
This is a *BAD* thing
For the government, it makes everything more expensive
For investors, it means they don't have confidence that US debt is a good investment

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.

How about mitigation - clean air and masking - to slow down the rate of spread while a vaccine is developed.
Simple, cheap, and given the speed of the Covid vax development - worth a shot?
Cheaper in the long run!
