According to them white people have inherent privilege, so it's easier for them to not be poor lol. If you accept their assumptions - it's more or less coherent I think.

The magic link to login doesnt work

A more comfortable ear pads for my headphones, especially when I am now 8+ hours a day in my headphones - they just become transparent for me. Cheap, simple and yet it changed so much for me!

Is it really the case that dev career is over by the age of 40?

There are >40 devs, there's less of them because 20 years ago there were generally less devs, so you wouldn't expect to be the same amount of 50>40 devs as for example 35>25 devs. The sole fact that there's less of them (I think we can agree that there are >40 devs) doesn't have to mean that they just stopped working as devs - there are other reasons, right?

> That means workers have to work harder for a smaller share

what if the "whole" is not const? Does it necessarily mean that the share is smaller? I'm not convinced

I expected to go there just to see that the video is blocked

but the executable that is built with these optimizations is running on people's computers, not as a backend on google servers.. or am I missing something?

Also interesting, Duda got even more votes (in absolute numbers) than 5 years ago :o

Aren't there infinite number of groups we can group people by? And effectively everyone belongs to unique group of size 1 which is that, unique person herself?

For one thing I don't believe disrupting nuclear family model is a thing that will do any good, ironically especially for black families.

It is possible I am wrong, but as much as I informed myself, for this moment, my opinion is just different from the one proposed by BLM.

> If you think that your life will be worse if the demands or whatever of BLM are met then you really need to be honest with yourself and others about who you are.

And that is what I am talking about. It seems to me that you think that all BLM demands are universally good - and if I don't fully agree with them I must be somehow a bad person. I refuse to believe that they have monopoly for morality and truth.

Sorry, I never said I want to "overcome" an organization. English is not my first language and if it sounded that way - it wasn't meant to.

What I think is worth 'overcoming' is a sentiment that if one disagrees with the goals of blacklivesmatter organisation it shouldn't mean he/she is racist, insensitive etc.

I work for a company from USA and I have been 'outed' for not sharing black lives matter hashtag and whatnot, I don't feel I can safely say that I disagree with some points - I talked to handful of people privately and I met with literal outrage. I think this is really problematic.

Because it's simply counterproductive and one can make a good case it's actually racist :|

But it is unacceptable. I don't accept "you can't" as an answer, it is too important.

Reading through https://blacklivesmatter.com/ pages, I am truly shocked. I don't think any of my colleagues who support this organisation agree even with a quater of BLM stances. How did this happen?

The name they chose is so strategically well chosen, but it can't be bullet proof, what can we do?

Yes, I am aware of it, I should've been more specific.

I haven't seen anyone who is supposed to be solving this issue to be taking any steps towards improving the situation.

Respective agencies acknowledged it but (at least not to my knowledge) didn't follow up on that.

This https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_1352201 possibly is more what you're really asking for

Wow, first time I see this mentioned somewhat in 'mainstream'. How is that not talked more?

and ugly people, data shows that ugly people are discriminated against pretty much everywhere. No one talks about this :(

Were they part of LGBTQ+ "community" or were they just individuals who were not straight?

And I thought this place is good to discuss anything. I've added it myself now too. I mean.. i have no words, world is mad
