Yes and? Hate speech against white male would be brought down as well.

Yes, which of these views would have been shut down by a policy forbidding hate speech? I am now mostly worried about state censorship, which do remove things like the items you list. Censoring hate speech and people who promote exclusion o

Well we do so when we want to go very fast e.g. highways.

I am not talking about removing people with different views, I am talking about removing people who promote hate speech. Someone has a talk saying "Linux is the worst thing that ever happened in IT", let her in. Someone has a talk

I used to take principled free speech position in these kind of arguments. I have for Maybe 10 years. I stopped when I realized that not once, in all the hotly debated discussions I had, I found anything of value in the person being censore

Saying that making a complaint public and it's answer public constitutes harassment just sounds trollish. If it all happened privately he would have complained about that as well. Actually he does when he says the exact motives are hid

If every reseller proposed a discounted "no packaging" option, people would produce less waste. If providing such an option was mandatory or even just incentivized, more resellers would propose it. Consumers do have some power, bu

Because that's the transition power that has the math and history to back it. Its window is closing though. It would have made a ton of sense in the 80s or 90s but the antinuclear have won: we stayed 40 more years in the fuel economy u

And also, you never know when this theoretical case actually happens but it did happen to me: at one point someone may use your code on an Arduino and unexpectedly, it works! But memory allocation could fail more than you expect!

Thanks. As a mere occasional user of databases I was confused and trying to figure out how you could not use FKs without recreating essentially the same thing in code.

As a consultant I have never been hired by someone whose system was working. I am willing to bet the consultant was hired to add a feature, could not figure the installed code, and proposed to redo it the only way he or she was used to.

I'll soon have to do a pub/sub for an application that's close to a multiplayer video game. Most advices I have seen say that I'll probably want to code it myself, but I was wondering about the latency of that solution?

That's interesting. It may then matter that French plants are state-owned. It probably makes them cheaper on the long term

Yes I meant the statue. I had memories of seeing it there as a kid, but I think I am confusing with other sculptures.

(not the person you respond to) I get your feeling, but that's a mistake to placate it on that painting. Napoleon probably abolished more monarchies than anyone else in Europe. The moment it captures is when Napoleon (who took power, h

I am not able to browse for free. Right now it costs me around $35 a month for access. I'd gladly add a few dollars to have an ad-free web and I bet many people would as well.

If you assume only balanced and benevolent people will do astrology and psychic readings, that's fine. The problem is that if you have a little bit of problem yourself, a bit of delusion, it is easy to bring down the gullible that come
