  • In a poll largely pointing to positive results, this one was a big fucking yikes:

    Denying alleged gang members living in the U.S. illegally the ability to challenge their deportation in court:

    • All U.S. Adults: 50%
    • Hispanic Adults: 55%

    JFC. “Should due process be cancelable on account of alleged ties?” 50% yes. And slightly more among people who are most likely to be alleged.

    People need to get it through their thick skulls that cops at any level are not trustworthy deciders of guilt. The whole reason our system exists with all this process is that the founders knew they’d make false allegations.









  • Plus the fundamental insanity of saying efficiency is a single monolithic thing that can only be effectively worked on by a single person. The only reason you have that is because the type of coder these people want to abuse is the same type of person who’s bad at designing code. They just keep stumbling on subsuming additional features into the monolith because encapsulation and code design is uninteresting to their reward centers. That’s why multiple people can’t work on it, not because there’s some fundamental inability to effectively partition work during the production of innovative software.
