Here at HN, we regularly expect evidence of lesser known claims. It’s actually a pretty cool way to form understanding based on reality. My original post was openminded, and stated that I tried to learn more about what your post on my own to not waste your time. When I could bot find discourse or articles about your statement, I asked for a source. That is a natural and valid thing to have happen. If there is basically no validation of your strong statements, maybe think about what you post and what it’s adding to the discourse.
That fun example does not provide evidence of what you accused the developer of. Not even close. I think if you’re going to accuse someone of what amounts to racist paranoia, you’d better have clear evidence of it. The fragment you linked to simply shows Kling being uncomfortable with racial discrimination in hiring, which is a mainstream, probably majority, attitude.
no, the fragment shows kling is completely blinded by his own privileges as a cisgender white guy and completely missing the point of diversity by instead making it all about himself and other cisgender white dudes
its unfortunately very common for privileged people to not realize how good they have it compared to people with less privileges. you have to live it to really know what its like
diversity efforts being seen as "discrimination against [privileged group]" is exactly how we don't fix the problem
In the 2020's, this is just another genre of petty hatred. As time goes on, one "type" of person's historical privilege becomes less and less valid as a reason to reduce them in any way, as compared to anybody else (giving the benefit of the doubt that it ever was "valid"). Similarly, "diversity efforts" are laudable in theory, but in practice they are frequently just discrimination in the opposite direction of what is typical.
None of this has anything to do with "white replacement", or being "blind to privilege". You're stretching a totally reasonable viewpoint into "evil racism" because you don't agree with his point of view.
So you try to slander and discredit anyone who thinks differently than you. Same playbook every time, so boring.
You might think differently, but I think hiring someone based on their race to meet arbitrary racial quotas is insulting.
Once people start saying things like “his own privileges as a cisgender white guy”, that’s a red flag in my book—someone who writes like that, in my experience, doesn’t have real empathy for others, and uses “privilege” as an excuse to not have empathy or caring towards someone because of their gender or the color of their skin.
But Fortran goes skrt skrt (Gen Z/Zillenial for fast).
Honestly love Fortran as a language but really worried about how it's both the foundation of most core packages like Numpy and Scipy and is increasingly underresourced outside of physics departments.
“Webb said Home Office staff promised her over the phone the problem would be fixed, though a confirmation email was then sent to her sister instead of to her.”
I guess avoid Hilton hotels. They cancelled a reservation without verifying that they were talking to their client or someone authorized by their client.
If you book a room that is part of a reserved block for a convention, it is not surprising that the organizers have discretion to kick out unregistered people in order to have room for legitimate attendees.
No, he's actually not. If you read the poster's story you will see that Flock directly informed him, it's a customer-only event, and no media was invited. Therefore, whatever legit press credentials he had, did not make him a customer, nor entitled to be registered there. He may have registered under false pretenses. Surely he was informed, as part of the registration process, who was eligible to attend in the first place?
Flock, as the event organizers, had every right to revoke his registration, because he was not qualified, and what's truly remarkable is the volume of respondents who are shocked and outraged that Flock was granted control of the hotel rooms in a block which were dedicated and promised to their conference attendees. For crying out loud.
Customer only event while ex-senators, congressional representatives, and law enforcement attend it? Oh come on, stop running cover for a deeply undemocratic organization.
Just because you don't like the journalist, doesn't make them not be a journalist.
It's also hard to belief Flock is in the right here at all seeing how evil they act and what they sell to people.
I’ve been enjoying making TUI programs for my own use. It turns out that the Kitty terminal emulator, with its saveable sessions of arrangements of panels that can communicate with each other, is an interesting framework for TUIs:
I had one! One of my favorite possessions in elementary school. It came with a nice booklet introducing the theory. Because I studied that booklet, I was probably the only brat in my 2nd grade who knew about number bases. I entertained myself by converting decimal numbers into binary.
