- nubianwarrior parentHis recent videos on Imagineering's animatronics and "Living Characters" was incredible.
- Any evidence of this fabrication?
- This thread is a hiring manager's dream; imagine identifying a candidate's emotional intelligence through their HN comments. Woof, indeed.
- As Tejano I am constantly bombarded by falsehoods, revisionism, and racism about my identify.
- It 100% was but your take is the kind of dismissive, attempts invalidation I’m referring to so thank you for the example.
- It’s really disheartening to hear so many objections to “race” or “class” stories on NPR as these are the pieces that speak of experiences like my own. I’m in my 40s today but I remember being one of barely a handful of Tejano game developers in Austin back in the 90s and no one called our inclusion DEI - they just called it hiring locally. It seems all these good things that were the norm have been hijacked and brought the worst of the objectivists. Maybe if listening to understand (vs listening to react) a lot of these comments here wouldn’t look fence walking outbursts.
I still have hope for the future. Not much to be found in these comments tho.
- thefp.com is hardly a news source, much less this “article” an editorial piece.
If you zoom out a little, you should be able to see what this really is.
Article doesn’t belong here.
- There is a cancer of cynicism and hate in these parts. Always has been but now it feels that it's the victim and now it has the tools to grow. This was a failed attempt at growth. It will try again until it is eradicated.
- East Austinite since I was a teenager, family has had the same parcel of land since the 1880s. It's all caliche and limestone boss 6 inches down boss.
- Grew up in a colonia and I constantly fear with my six figure salary, existing in this ridiculous world of opulence and technology that I will lose those lessons. I am more than how I grew up or where I am from. Feels good to know I do not walk alone in that journey...
- ¡Munchas! Descendent of Marranos (cryptojews) here, AMA.
- As someone who grew up on both sides of the border it's created a new weight in my gut and every situation is always awkward now. But I am lucky, I am a citizen. I can't even begin to try and understand the trauma these families go through...
- No it’s not. America was not at war with Mexico during 1812-1836. Tens of thousands of gringos came and illegally squatted on land as well as raped and killed numerous Tejano families for their land. You should brush up on your history.
- I am downvoting this because of the descendants of the illegal ANGLO immigrants who came to Texas in the early 19th century profit and cheer the criminalization of those doing the same thing.
- I am so tired of my people being used as political fodder, this KID is profiting off of suffering. This is not what technology should be used for.
- I typically refrain from discussing this on HN, I am already a unicorn in a sea of anglos (ethnic Tejano - mix of marrano and native peoples) but you need to understand at a minimum that these people are not crossing a border - the border crossed them. The Treaty of Guadalupe only allowed a pathway to citizenship on paper; in practice the complete erradication of the Hispanics/Tejanos/Natives from north of the border. Things like the bracero program in the early 20th century created this migrant cycle. This isn't about defending illegal immigration - it's about the villains pretending to be the victims. I am all for "protecting" the border - you don't do that making everyone from the border, and those that cross it for work/family/quality of life, a criminal.
Don't be a vendido, don't forget about the struggles previous generations went through just for you to be able here to comment on the internet.
- Another thing that will not tie us together is continuing to ignore conversations that are uncomfortable, or as you put it unreadable, to you.
- If he was trying to do the right thing he would be using his wealth to better the world, not buy parcels of land. What doublespeak.
- That's a pretty subjective take.
- This. South Korea's insistence on using 2001 technologies today has made Windows almost unmanageable in a highly secure environment.
- Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
- Java to JavaScript to Java (for Android). What?
Also they forgot the 'd' in 'world' at the bottom.
- Good article.
- Napping in public? SKETCHY.
- I love Austin. I was referring to folks outside of Austin.
- Been in Austin since the late '90s. Still the best place in Texas. I find that I can't produce or succeed when I am surrounded by bible-belt teapublicans who say I am violating their religions freedom by just existing. That's just me tho...
As far as where the "weird" is in this city it's in the paths less traveled. For instance last weekend several folks let me ride their horse a few blocks on the East Side while we were drinking (horse included). If you spend all your time downtown or in the more 'affluent' parts of town it's just like any other city.
- Was my favorite part as well. Surprisingly fun read.
