tl;dr: whatabout "statements issued by Apple, Nike and Coca-Cola among others that no signs of "forced labor" have been found."

Those are indeed failings of western companies and governments. Those failings do not justify ignoring CCP actions toward Uyghurs


By this logic, one can't be anti-CCP without being anti-chinese.


It's not about what can be, it's about what actually is.

People who are not antisemitic typically say "but you can criticize Israel", and they are right, and they don't understand.

The trouble is that in the real world people who criticize Israel and not antisemitic are vanishingly rare.

It's like "black lives matter", people are not not racist find it very racist and respond "all lives matter", and they don't get it. People who experience racism, explain "black lives matter" doesn't imply anything about other people.

In the real world you almost never find people who criticize Israel who are not also antisemitic.

For example, in this very thread "level1" tries to criticize Israel with a factually false accusation, checking his post history finds him singling out Jews. This is pretty typical.

Where is your evidence for this?

By evidence, I mean

  1) empirical, not anecdotal
  2) from a non-partisan source

To be clear I am referring to this - but then I think you'll criticize all of HRW as anti-semitic as well right? Come one and deal with reality.

Most people are past the point of debating whether it is apartheid or not.

Most Israelis believe that Israel should give preferential rights to Jews:

"Most Israeli Jews (79%) say Jews deserve preferential treatment in Israel."

Also 50% support transfer of Arabs out of the state:

"The survey asked Jews whether they strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with the statement that “Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel.” Roughly half of Israeli Jews strongly agree (21%) or agree (27%), while a similar share disagree (29%) or strongly disagree (17%).3"

As a happy user of both PHP (for web dev) and Python (for just about everything else), this is a pretty shitty article


@emptybottle - I don't know why this is happening, but it is:

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to doc.tidalcycles.org. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."


Same here. I didn’t submit the link as doc.tidalcycles.org either, it should have been the root of the domain which does work.


You submitted https://tidalcycles.org, but that page specifies https://doc.tidalcycles.org/ as its canonical URL:

  <link data-react-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://doc.tidalcycles.org/">
Our software replaces the submitted URL with the canonical URL when it finds one.


Thanks for sharing these!

IMO, they'd be much more helpful/accessible with some default examples. For example, the graph algorithm and logic expression tools just drop you into a blank canvas.


Thank you for your feedback! In both tools you mentioned you can open example projects via the menu at the top.

But I agree that I could have highlighted that better.


I did indeed miss the examples.

(Another UX nudge... the logic tool uses a folder icon to get to the examples, while th graph tool uses an "Open" button)


This isn't a question. It's an argument disguised as a series of questions.

Nevertheless, the answer to the title's question is: we'll all be living in abject poverty while you're yelling "told you so"


Shout out to the ghost of Socrates



> A sign of the times it seems

Not even close.

People do immoral, unethical or illegal things if they see an advantage in doing so.

People have been doing such things since well before the onset of recorded history.

In some circles, it's even celebrated (Uber, AirB&B...)


Your first link is from TCU (tcu.edu), Texas Christian University. The entirety of TCU is opposed to birth control.

Your second link lists only St. Anthony Family Practice Residency Program as an affiliation.

I can't say one way or the other whether your assertions are valid. But your choice of sources warrants caution.


"Crickets" means that there was no response. It was so quiet that you could hear the crickets chirping.

Always means bad
