I'm a religious jew and there was maybe one image shown that could be considered offensive. Most of them were pretty funny. If you specifically ask to show someone as being of a religion, of course it will generate an image with symbols related to that religion. How is that offensive?

> The whole "free speech" absolutism thing is thinly veiled political pandering.

I disagree. There were clearly political biases at play when it came to censoring/removing people from Twitter. Regardless of what side of the political aisle you're on that should be a huge issue.

Very common in Judaism. As we like to say, "two jews, three opinions."

Is it just me or is this a little bit ridiculous.

"Qualifications for being a member of the board?" "I'm a woman"

I feel like this may the first time that Macbooks might actually be worth their premium from a purely hardware perspective.

Before people jump on this, I mean that for example the previous Intel MB Pro with i5 would cost like $1,500, which is far more than almost any windows laptop running the same specs.

How do these compare to AMD/Intel processors? I'm sure they are more efficient, but can they compete in speed and power?

There is GitGud which is an NPM package and works on all systems. Definitely not as feature rich as this though.

react-native (Facebook) and some of the other big projects (Alibaba, Google, Palantir etc) have Contributor License Agreements (CLIs) that you need to sign in order for them to accept your contribution.

It's a painless process, but you do need to provide them with some info ranging from just your name to your address and phone number.

As a wise man once said - "If no one's making stuff, there won't be any stuff."

Anyone else thinking that google is using the cheap device to collect even more in depth user data which is how it really makes money off the phones?
