Wow, a driver that’s been retired for 13 years won for a team that shut down 10 years ago in the first ever season that Nascar has decided to run 2 Daytona 500s in the same month.

Someone needs to tell the FTC that if they don't like how Facebook does its business, they're free to just start their own Facebook

Nice to see but it's too contrast-y for me compared to the stylus theme I've already been using which honestly looks better https://github.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark

> Anyone who wants to get cocaine, will get cocaine

I never thought this was a good argument against making something illegal, because there are definitely people who only-kinda want cocaine but are deterred by the law. Those people could have ended up as addicts if it was legal (and easier) to get.

Why is murder illegal? Anyone who wants to murder someone will do it. At that point why is anything illegal?

k8s runs containers, docker is just one implementation of containers.

yes it's just the underlying container runtime. so this is really only applicable to sysadmins managing their own k8s installation

Don't be semantic, my point is why isn't speech codified at the same level?

Clearly at some point someone said "freedom of religion should mean protection from persons and corporations", why can't we say the same about speech?

Why is speech the only part of 1A that gets this treatment? You wouldn't say the same thing about religion

I'm surprised wikipedia has gone this long without joining every other website in fixing their unbroken UI

so the easiest, biggest, and most blatant antitrust target out of your own examples is just a political play?

> your capacity to publish anything you want is restricted by the policy of whoever hosts your servers, and their ISP, and their ISP's ISP.

this is obvious and anyone still unironically pushing the "just make your own" narrative is aware of it but has no other comeback

> "New England" IPAs aren't overly hopped

NEIPAs are by definition excessively hopped, it's just mostly (if not all) dry hops that impart the aromas you described instead of bitterness that's associated with classic IPAs.

deadmik3 — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 18:45:27 +0000

The "Jobs page" that's linked to in the article just goes to a page of all the onion articles that are about "jobs". Is that the joke?

It wasn't until I got a touchbar that I realized the only function key I ever consistently used was F5 for refreshing pages. Even the few I needed in my IDE for 3-4 button hotkeys are replaced with a single button that does what I want. The touch bar is great, and I really don't understand why people cling to function keys so much

unrelated to the article but it is really dumb that ny times doesn't have anchor linking right to specific headlines if they're going to put every article on the same page. I was wondering why this linked to an article about Kim Kardashian before I scrolled halfway down the page, past every ad of course...
