No, we wouldn't be, Mr. Negative Karma Throwaway. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The US had exactly two in Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 before going back to positive growth. The US had a much larger recession in Q1 and Q2 2020 before a big recovery in Q3 2020. https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-change-from-preceding-period-in-real-gdp-in-the-us/

The difference is most liberals don't want dumb people to have guns. This person might be a liberal, but if other liberals had their way, the girl would still be alive.

It's not what he thinks of gay people. It's that he spent his money to successfully deny gay people rights and nullify marriages that were already recognized. That's not somebody I want to give money to. Look on Hacker News for his comments about why he made that donation, and you might change your mind about whether he is actually a bigot. He has never apologized for his actions.

You don't get a promotion for blocking a buggy launch.

I think we can agree that those slave owners were wrong, just as we can agree that Eich was and remains wrong about gay marriage.

If the pole is entering the portal at the rate of 60 miles per hour, it must exit the portal at the same rate. After a minute, 1 mile of pole has entered the portal, and 1 mile has exited it. If it exits more slowly than it enters, where is the missing part of the pole?

It isn't. It's planning to make ad blockers use a crippled API like the one Safari has had for years now, but the timeline for that still hasn't been decided. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/mv2-sunset/

All apps that you can install from the Play Store can be "sideloaded" on Android, plus many that you can't install from the Play Store.

If Trump wins, pardoning these people will be his first order of business. That signals to his supporters that he wants them to do it again but in greater numbers to keep him in power indefinitely.

No, generative AI is. Why get props, lighting, actors, etc. when you can just not and say you did at a language model connected to a video generation model?

This is already about to pass in California. https://legiscan.com/CA/bill/SB478/2023

The FTC is going to write a rule similar to what local governments have given themselves power to regulate. The article gave some examples, but it is not exhaustive.

Moissanite is a nonporous stone, so it doesn't get cloudy. It can get dirty on the surface like a diamond, but you can just rinse it off. On the other hand, a diamond will turn cloudy if it is in a house fire, while moissanite will not.

Naturally occurring moissanite is extremely rare, while naturally occurring diamond not so much. A geologist might judge you for wearing something that isn't real moissanite but a knockoff with a lower refractive index.

Gates didn't lobby for tax cuts and austerity. https://fortune.com/2022/07/30/bill-gates-lobbied-joe-manchin-inflation-reduction-act-build-back-better-act-democrats/

Nor did Bezos: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56657596

Austerity hurts Amazon's retail business, so the idea that Bezos would lobby for it is ludicrous.

Interesting that you bring up political and medical disinformation, which is something else Eich is known for: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/business/brave-brendan-eich-covid-19.html

This article isn't in The New York Times.

I think you responded to the wrong comment. I said nothing about the quality of the film industry's output, only that it is going to be replaced.

I can claim ownership on another chain in just the same way that I can claim ownership on another centralized database. The only difference is that I waste a lot more energy with the former, and everyone will think I'm a dumbass.

People who understand what NFTs are dislike them even more.

There were slave owners who believed they were morally right too, and your argument says they should have been left alone. We're smart enough to know they were wrong and that your Christians and Muslims are wrong. We should be writing articles and making choices accordingly.

This isn't about what Eich used to believe. This is about a law that he helped pass and still supports. I wouldn't give my money to somebody who helped pass a law to bring back slavery and still supports it. We know that this is wrong.

Eich and the KKK can continue to advocate for the wrong side. We should continue to argue against them and not give them our support.
