Where did you get the idea that the only purpose of a “well-regulated militia” is to completely replace a standing army? Just because some of the founders were against the idea of standing armies doesn’t mean that they saw it as an “either&

“If you want a second amendment, you need to also support defunding the military and a return to militias and mercenaries.” That doesn’t follow from this: “Both the Federalists and Anti-Federalists opposed a standing army and saw it as a to

False dichotomy. What about social disintegration?

I’m not a C++ developer but I know that it’s big in video games. Seems like that should make it easy to make a few portfolio pieces (i.e., just make clones of a few old games). Edit: to clarify, this would just show that you know the syntax

I meant that your self-consciousness and constant worry is probably harming your social interactions more than anything. Or not. It was for me in the past.

That’s what you’re doing wrong.

I’ll read both of those articles later; they’re behind a paywall. I’m not an economist, and I’m open to being shown that I’m wrong, but I still think that if Italy were to default on its debt, there would only be two inevitable consequences

I can’t reply to your last reply for some reason, so I’m replying here. I’ll read the article you linked to, but I don’t expect anything other than more econobabble and fear-mongering. If a country’s entire economic system is based on a stu

The only concrete effect you’ve suggested is that French and German banks would lose money. Well, yeah, obviously. So what?

I reread the article and checked Epstein’s Wikipedia entry, and you’re right. I wasn’t aware that (the revelation of) his crimes came in two separate phases (first molesting underage sex workers, then sex trafficking). I still don’t like th

What specific, concrete events would occur, and why would the occurrence of these events constitute a catastrophe? Why would anyone need to “bail Italy out”? If they decide not to pay back their debt and start using their own currency, the

The constant allusion to invariably vague doomsday scenarios that fills articles on the global economy is quite grating. What would really happen if Italy defaulted on its debt and started issuing its own currency? I suspect that the answer

This is silly. Evil people get away with hiding their true nature all the time. Should everyone who associated with Epstein before his true nature was revealed quit their jobs and live out the rest of their lives as penitent ascetics?

Ahhh... You just put into words what’s been bothering me about the way my team works. The “process” people—while well-intentioned—seem to think that by breaking inherently complex tasks up in just the right way, they can make the complexity

Spot on. Even if you allow the string to be considered a (rather simple) data “structure”, when we talk about homoiconicity we (explicitly or implicitly) exclude strings from the set of data structures under consideration.

You can’t think of anything that could go wrong by combining open borders with a generous welfare state?

Wow...really? Your understanding is literally, “Let’s just give everyone enough money to be well off”?

Yes, it is, and that’s why the demonization of men’s rights groups is not only counterproductive, but completely irresponsible. You may disagree with specific grievances or talking points, but you shouldn’t discourage groups who feel aggrie

Under your interpretation, would I be allowed to say that it’s evident that there are (nontrivial, sometimes cognitive) innate group differences between the sexes, or between racial groups? If you’re convinced that such a statement would si

Speech cannot be violent. To the downvoters: speech cannot be violent, by definition . Using your own private definition of a word—in this case, violence —without making an explicit disclaimer is inherently deceitful.

That doesn’t change the fact that the CRA restricted freedom of association. Still, the better argument for legislating platform neutrality is that those platforms enjoy special legal status based on the notion that they can’t be held respo

Yeah, I’m a Yank and I think it’s kind of gross that we don’t wash after every bowel movement. But taking that a step further and not even washing your ass while showering is just foul.

The Hashicorp suite vs Docker/K8s will be a big one. My first impression was that containerizing everything was just the obviously superior approach, but then I had to actually deploy a job to K8s and I discovered that the technology h

Shutting 8chan down is a terrible idea from a strictly pragmatic perspective. It currently serves as a window into the psyches of violent extremists, and a means to potentially reach them and change their minds. Shutting it down won’t make

“Basic income and open borders are a match made in heaven. The first country to embrace this powerful combination will lead the way in ushering humanity into a new age of global peace and prosperity.” Is this supposed to be satire? I can’t

I’m guessing here, but maybe the DOJ has seized domains being used to serve child pornography and things like filmed massacres, beheadings, etc.
