North Korea became north korea because of censorship. It is the most censored country in the world. And the point is that there is not "extremism" in north korea because censorship allows only "authoritarianism". That's…
There was an interesting video on youtube about global recycling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gNZtI7hbvI Since china exports so much and we export so little, rather than send empty shipping containers back to…
Historically, a combined effort by corporate and government interests to take away your rights was called fascism. But I guess if it is the far left doing it, it's okay.
Of course not. They are going to promote it. They are going to give the pro-war "authoritative sources" preferential treatment. It's funny how so many of the pro-censorship comments here reference ISIS. These same…
I rather live with the remote threat of extremism rather than live in a censored world. Would you rather live in North Korea with no extremism? You have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning than dying from…
When Assange exposed Bush/right, the journalists and leftists loved him and the right hated him. He won a bunch of journalist/humanitarian prizes. Now that Assange exposed Hillary/left, the journalists and leftists hate…
Considering how politicized wikipedia ( like most of tech industry has gotten in recent years ), doesn't shock me. Jimmy Wales has pretty much come out and said wikipedia will no longer be user driven but ideology…
It is a declarative language like SQL. If you come from traditional imperative programming side, it is very difficult for you to get used to. I forgot who said it : "With imperative style, you code the precise steps to…
"Europe has a special place in the venture because it was the final destination of the original Silk Road." Is this really true? Wasn't China the final destination of the original silk road. Isn't it why we call it the…
You forget the key words in my comment. "Like a cow". I know you can process some vegetation. I eat a lot of vegetables. But your gut biome can't process vegetation like cows. Go try eating grass or vegetation…
That's only for city folk who essentially trap their cats or dogs in their apartments to help with their loneliness. Frankly I think pet ownership in cities should be made illegal because it's harmful to the pets and…
Simply not true because humans can't process vegetation like cows can. It's why we feed animals vegetation and we eat the animals. Also, even if what you said were true, that only applies to human raised livestock. Even…
You are conveniently leaving out the fact that many liberal Democrats also don't want national ids because it might hurt illegal immigrants, prevent voter fraud, etc. I can't help but cringe whenever politically…
Bull markets always draw retail. Smart money needs suckers to hold the bag.
By that definition, veganism is the worst diet. Far more animals ( primarily insects, worms, vermin, etc ) are killed for a vegan diet than an omnivore diet and especially a carnivore diet. There are literally more…
I suspect most of the hate vegans get are from other "more pure" vegans. Purity is how vegan cult members judge each other. Not how normal minded people judge vegans. As for "some good", you might really want to get off…
That's the pathetic "liberal" sexist caricature you see on TV and media. And like most caricature in media, it's nonsense. The problem is that both men and women are deciding to having less kids. And that trend has…
This article really isn't saying attention span is getting shorter ( or it's misunderstanding what "attention span" means ). It's that global interest timeframe is getting shorter ( aka how long a product or news is…
And Miami, NYC, LA, London, etc. But then again, dirty money ( opium wars ) is how modern banking in the industrial age got started. Though, we should expand "dirty" money to more than drugs and crime. Legally attained…
It's insane the level of vindicativeness that government can reach. Worse than any bully and more fanatical than any terrorist. Of course the government is like this to mere peasants. If you are the wealthy elite, the…

It's propaganda. It's a caricature coming to life. A caricature created by the establishment media. It's like if foxnews ran a story "What happened to my 13 year old daughter after consuming establishment media or…
"A hypothetical Chinese transition to democracy would probably have followed the East Asian pattern, not the Eastern European one. In Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union didn't so much democratize as disintegrate. China…
Why just facebook? Why not Amazon, Google, JPM, Disney, etc? "Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook, says the company is so big and powerful that it threatens our democracy." "threatens our democracy". I've heard this…
It wastes time, space and energy, but it also lowers the bar for programming ( don't have to know or care much about memory ) and removes the potential for errors. It's like programming on training wheels. Sure it,…
