I think my main concern was and is:

Given this article, the discussion cannot avoid politics. If we're assuming that political discussions might be sensitive and largely depending on your upbringing/local environment etc. etc. this leads to potential conflicts.

Technical (or commercial) posts are usually easier to digest and discuss. Posts like this seem to offer no sane way to handle them, or at least I don't see a way to do that myself.



The alternative is ignoring and being ignorant to nonviolent citizens of a foreign country being killed and burned by military grade technology.

You don't have to actually go into the comments section on these things. But besides technical knowledge what are you going to contribute to the non controversial posts? Yes, lambas are great, and a half dozen posts agreeing on that, after an article about good lambda usage?
