Agreed; There are structural problems with no obvious solution in the justice system. However, there is one thing people can do - adjust their expectations and biases using information of the system's corruption.

Which power is that, that corporations are good at advertising themselves by playing to our emotional biases? I believe that was established before this arrangement.

That's a good point that I would agree with, however, I don't think it's applicable here. It's not just Uber customers that pay for the company's services - the Uber "taxis" also use infrastructure that It

These may be worthwhile points to pursue, but it's not the jobs of the magisters to legislate from the bench. When you ask "why not create a law", this is a question to direct to the politicians you elect, not the magisters w

After reading the analysis, I think the author focused too much on "native speaker". It seems entirely plausible to me that the text was written by a fluent non-native English speaker, who was trying to make the post look like the

I think it's not a matter of knowing the acronyms but rather using them in your writing. Even though I'm aware of POTUS, I would simply write "The President" or "The US President" - it comes much more natural,

But the point in that post is this "goto example" is actually an example of the vague rationalizations used in attempts to censor speech. It covers two pillars of free speech exceptions which are both controversial - incitement(th

I agree with the gist of your post, however, I found this example slightly jarring: > except in certain circumstances (e.g. falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre). Considering it originates from suppression of wartime di

So the logarithmic scale is just an approximation of this "price appreciation" or whatever - wouldn't a better solution be to weigh the market data by it and still use a linear chart?

The snackbar problem is actually what redux is built to solve. You would "provide the toast()" function by having components dispatch a "toast" action. From there, your reducer would modify the snackbar state accordingly

I believe the underlying idea behind "dick pics" is that people are guided to think of something that is embarrassing to them. When you tell people they should stop using Facebook if they want to protect their privacy, they think

Boost has existed since 1999-2000, which aligns with ES3. As for solid and well-understood... Douglas Crockford wrote a book on how "solid" Javascript is, called "Javascript: The Good Parts". One of his most common refra

Like I said, you haven't provided an argument why an MIT license provides more value for a developer than a GPL license. Your arguments are collectivist in nature - the GPL developers should sacrifice their own beliefs "for the gr

It's not like the major parties woke up one day and put forth Clinton and Trump and told the plebs "vote one or the other". The US especially has a very extensive election process, with the party primaries and all, plus, ther

You keep repeating this sentiment, but you haven't brought forward any argument why GPL doesn't achieve its goals, even if, eventually, some of the software gets reinvented with a different license. I could take your argument and

Have you thought about using MobX instead? I think Redux's "complications" stem from guiding you towards a certain set of principles and ways of coding without giving you the tools to commit to those principles and ways of co

As far as I know, current US precedent has a long line of cases justifying "reasonable police mistakes" as par for the course, so that's really the most you can hope for. Here's some examples: https://www.nyco

Your suggestions require a continuation to handle the "else" part of the branch. In C# that would look significantly worse than the Try* pattern.

Your explanation sounds reasonable, but I think there's examples that contradict it. I can immediately think of CNN publishing leaks about Trump and his briefings with intelligence agencies, these leaks didn't have any time for ve

Can you source Assange stating this? As far as I remember, his explanation was that since there was already a bevy of mainstream media ready to publish any dirt on Trump, leakers did not have to go to Wikileaks to publish their stories, t

I don't use twitter, but I've heard and seen that there is a way to turn your account private, so only people you follow can tweet you. That seems like a much more proportioned solution to getting spammed by tweets, than outright

That's a lot of tweets(5+). Did you get them all at the same time, or did they have some kind of randomized delay? Also uh...what's the benefit of spamming you out of Twitter and into Snapchat? Do people get $$ for views of their
