> What does that mean lean right fiscally? Traditionally, I believe that means less government spending, but at least in the US, government spending doesn't seem to change significantly under conservative control. That's just A

Not really, as evidenced by the comments here. If you're a libertarian or fiscal conservative--a liberal capitalist--you can squeak by as long as you make obeisance on social issues. If you're a member of a protected class you may

It was unredacted when originally posted. I didn't see that the author later changed it. But just because there's a public record of some information doesn't mean it's not a violation of privacy to disseminate it.

This whole fight is bizarre. Elementary people requested that the author rename his project to avoid confusion in a way that could be interpreted either as friendly or a veiled legal threat. The author was immediately combative, and didn&#x

IIRC they've said they have no problem kicking people off for ideological reasons, and that the name has more to do with pricing than anything.

There are few other crimes so heinous and with such a high recidivism rate as sexual abuse of children. Attempting to reforming such people appears to be a fool's errand (and that's leaving aside that retributive justice is a real

> not the other way around That's highly debatable. See The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity[1] for a good, detailed counterexample. The reformation and counter-reformation have been likened to a re-Judaization of Christ

This is what pragprog does, but I don't know any self-publishing platform that does the same. You can probably roll your own without much trouble, just using stripe for billing.

I'm curious, would it be a violation if they instead invoked the Fifth Amendment to protect other contents of the laptop not acknowledged to exist?

They are absolutely not complaining about private citizens lambasting them online. It's entrenched monopolies in cooperation with the state itself that work to ruin right-wing (and left-wing in the case of TERFs, Deep Greens, etc.) dis

Why is operating outside of the paradigm of liberal feminism automatically equivalent to vilifying women? There seems to be an insatiable need for liberalism to 'other' those outside of it: critical of feminism? Misogynist. Critic

I used to work for a local newspaper that had been operated by the owner's family for generations. Our content was almost entirely unique, with the exception of a few filler stories we'd occasionally pull from another source (smal

Kind of, but there's only one nation called America. You can't separate native-ness from nation-ness. If the US called itself something else, then there would be no Native Americans.

One absurd name vs. another. "Indian" is the result of a mistake by an outsider, which probably isn't that unusual if one goes digging into the names for various ethnic groups. "Native American" feels artificial, bu

There's always a tradeoff between autonomy and practicality. Do we need to implement drawing for all "text" inputs (and outputs) so that people like Prince won't have any issues expressing their autonomy with something l

The kid is being accused of rape and mass murder threats, which seems like something the school should take seriously (although it does appear there may be serious issues with the evidence). They don't want him back there, but expulsio

I agree. I was diagnosed with high-functioning autism when I was younger, and assumed that autism referred to people fairly similar to me. Then my daughter was born. She's extremely low-functioning with only basic non-verbal communicat

The James Fields case isn't nearly as cut-and-dry as they pretend. There's video of his car being attacked immediately before the accident, a confession by a Redneck Revolt (antifa) leader that he chased Fields' car with a gu

I really like hyperscript et al. They seem to apply the 'everything-in-one-place' approach from modern JS development to HTML itself, extending hypertext without papering over it.

I don't know if this is true everywhere, but my objection is mainly that there are no similar but unrestricted programs at all here. It's one thing to make a program tailored to girls when there's already one tailored to boys

That's true. I didn't expect something that would be perfect, but this was basically someone's list of steps to make a webapp with bootstrap, pagination, slugs, and a single CRUD resource. If you're going to start with w
