In my view, the issue is not so much cancel culture. It’s that journalists can publish inaccurate information and libel people without any sort of punishment or way for the targeted party to respond. Also, this article…
Ironically, the Gauls who would sack Rome multiple times were more “Roman” than the inhabitants of Rome proper. The Gauls had strong chieftains and military generals, whereas Rome had weak ones.
It does. If I worked at a Japanese company, I would learn Japanese. I would respect the culture of the country I emigrated to. Otherwise, why would I live there?
I think I see legitimacy as being inextricably tied to the monopoly on violence. That is to say, the monopoly on violence is not only sufficient for legitimacy, it is necessary.
Right, but Python gives you the illusion of safety. And the person I was replying to was trying to dismiss this interesting Ansible alternative because it was written in a language he doesn’t like.

We have numerous examples in US history of that. What do you think they did in the Old West? The sheriff was often outmanned and undergunned, so nobody wanted the position. The bandits were so powerful that ordinary…
Legally purchased firearms are rarely used to do something illegal. That would be stupid, they have your name and address. I see no reason why a gun store can’t remain open. Or any store for that matter. It should be up…
It goes to show how sick and immoral a socialist system is. They have no religion or god to shame them of their immoral ways. It engenders a society of moral cripples. Colonialism is needed for godless natives, else…
Keybase was useless for the most part anyway. It became a vehicle to airdrop and shill shitcoins. Anyone saying it was some kind of bastion of user privacy is being overly nostalgic.
In declarative programs you specify what the program is. In imperative programs you specify what the program should do. I don’t really see the overlap.
It looks like this would be used for large scale synthesis of psilocybin.

Sweden has far fewer cases and death rate without a massive lockdown. If this disease is really so deadly, why isn’t their country being massively depopulated? Same for states in the US that haven’t implemented any…
The killer app was supposed to be DAOs, ICOs, and decentralized finance/web 3.0. Instead we got another asset bubble. This is why we can’t have nice things.
I wasn't attempting to bait people, I was trying to explain to them why they're facing what they're facing. I am unemployed myself, it's not like I'm some troll trying to incite people. It's meant to create a dialogue,…
I didn’t say that at all. I said that due to recent policy decisions, the government has incentivized workers not to work. In a normal free market economy, when people get laid off, their labor is reallocated to a…
Except there won’t be money available when they ask for it. When the dollar collapses after the Fed cuts rates, the interest rate will rise very high. The government will be forced to cut spending, and there will be no…
What good investments are you taking about? Nuro? Give me a break. WeWork? These are malinvestments.

Do women really need bras? How does it feel to wear a shirt over no bra? Maybe there can be an innovation with respect to bras in general. A new type of clothing item perhaps.
I have smoked weed heavily in my late 20s, ingested many types of edibles, topicals, etc. I am certainly not as sharp as I used to be. It can cause brain damage indirectly due to changes in your cardiovascular system.…
It is hard to imagine what it feels like to be hit on all the time, even if it is sometimes wanted.
Yeah, I need a skinny little white boy to tell me what’s racist. Get over yourself please.
Consumer doesn’t really matter. Pretty much any IT admin I know is ordering one directly through wholesalers. I’m actually surprised people physically go to stores anymore.
