You're an idiot.

I have a toddler.

They are absorbing everything and gaining a personality from day one.

You are not the one doing it.


Your presumption is that the parent is the only appropriate person to guide a child as they absorb their world. I disagree. I think teachers and peers play a valuable role too.

(In fact, judging by the way you conduct yourself online I’d say the more influences t your child has beyond you the better)


> You're an idiot.

Really? You're starting your comment with that?

EDIT: my mistake, it's a troll account with negative karma.


Don't go to SF. The voters sympathize with criminals more than honest people who earn an honest living. The voters view thievery as a valid tax.


My autopilot drives me on the highway just like he said it would. That was what he predicted about 5 years ago. FSD is taking longer - so what. It's progressing for the public far more than another other attempt.


I thought the "A" in ACLU stood for American.


And where do you think Silicon Valley is, or where YCombinator is based?


The future nation of California, whose independence campaign is supported by part-time YC partner and New Zealand citizen Peter Thiel.


I believe they may be making an oblique reference to the ACLU acting on behalf of immigrants this past weekend.

Of course, it's perfectly consistent to believe that the government of the United States of America does not sufficiently respect the civil liberties of non citizens.


Huh, what a weird point to make. If he were to actually look at the ACLU's mission, though, he'd see that there's nothing in it about only working to protect the rights of American citizens.


It does. American Civil Liberties Union.


It does. What do you mean by your comment?


People who have never been to America are not Americans.


It is the American Civil Liberties Union, Not the Union of Americans' Civil Liberties. 'American' in this context refers to the provenance of the civil liberties in question, not some sort of property interest. The more you know!


Clearly I didn't know we had a one world government.

If American liberties are a concept to apply over the whole world, the ACLU should be encouraging the whole world to a adopt the Bill of Rights and our Constitution.


An absurd straw man argument that reflects poorly upon you. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the word 'provenance' or the concept of an international policy.

Our Constitution contemplates the arrival of immigrants and indeed specifies that their should be 'uniform rules' for their naturalization. It also distinguishes between citizens and persons, granting some rights to the latter group and limiting others to the former.


The whole world is not a potential immigrant that gets American Privileges.


So in the US a lot of civil rights actually show up as restrictions on what the government is allowed to do.

Isn't it reasonable that we should seek to limit the actions of our government towards non citizens to those actions that are necessary or beneficial (either to US interests or to both parties)?

So for example, it may be reasonable to investigate the backgrounds of people that would like to visit the United States. But after such a reasonable investigation, I personally don't think the government should then be allowed to use those people as political props.


American liberties apply everywhere in the world where the US has jurisdiction. This definitely includes visa holders.


You could understand it as Civil Liberties in America. When the USA grants you permission to live here, and then takes it away midflight, then that's a problem with America, even if it is not a problem for "Americans".


Pure ignorant writing.

Do we live in a country of immigration laws or not? This author seems to think it's a one world government.


Try to engage reasonably with other views, even if you really disagree. For example if you expanded on your first sentence and deleted the first bit 'pure ignorant writing' you're far more likely to have a meaningful conversation with someone, maybe even change their mind.


The author was intentionally writing around the fact that these "undocumented immigrants" are illegal. When someone purposefully obfuscates an issue, I'll call a spade, a spade, and say the writing is pure ignorance.


Keep telling yourself Trump is going to lose if it helps you sleep.


He's got roughly a 16℅ chance last I checked. Maybe more due to higher than normal uncertainty.


That's a general blanket statement as fact. I went 1800p on 13" laptops 3 years ago. That is as low as I will ever go. I also have a Samsung Tab S2 8.0 for reading and a Nexus 6 phone. My next 13" Ultrabook will be a 4k OLED. Nothing else contends.


For general purpose usage and for gamers it is "fact", but there are certainly people who prefer high dpi displays in Windows. The first thing I did on my Macbook Pro running Windows was to turn off the terrible scaling, and lower the resolution. The panel's upscaling is better than Windows.

I don't mind high dpi on my Android phone since Android handles high dpi well.

Eventually high dpi will catch up in Windows, and I'll be "forced" to accept the horror of a 4K OLED ;-)


Which laptop are you using now?



Google sells cars?


You're off by 2X. Well over 80% of GOP is voting Trump.
