His position on the death penalty -- at least according to himself -- never changed. He came to the belief that the only way a republic would survive, was if it was a republic of virtue, and that it could only contain virtuous people. Peo

Did you read the article? He talks about the Russian Revolution, and cafés around the turn of the last century. He is not talking about the liberal revolutions of a century prior.

All revolutions are economical. The American one is about taxes, and the French is about well... taxes. But the answer to the question is what defines them from being political or social. The Americans and French revolutionaries of the 1

If you think the instigators of the Russian Revolution were also liberals, you are surely mistaken. They didn't care about the political question. Issues like representative government, suffrage and free speech were secondary issues

The article is weird. Cafés did great things for classic liberalism. Just consider Café Pilvax in Pest (now part of Budapest) in Hungary, which was basically the epicentre of the Hungarian revolution in 1848 and where the people who wrote

I suppose saying that the DS was built into '75 is more interesting than useful. You'll be hard pressed to find a D Berline model from '75. According to the Original Citroën DS book from 1996, only 847 DS's were buil

The DS was built all the way into 1975, although considering '74 the last is not far off. As I understand CX reliability, it's generally advised to avoid mid-80s carburettor and diesel models. If you want a CX, they say Prestige

The inclusion of a Citroën DS is nice (as an owner of '74 model, I am a little biased), but it's weird that he doesn't mention the Citroën CX, the fruits of de Casteljau's labours. It's call the CX because it refers

Thank you for that link. Very useful. It already highlighted a solution in Rust for a problem that I've run into with my Go prototype. And I appreciate there also was a blog post to read.[0] I personally prefer articles over videos

You say that as if generals decides war all on their own. Generals generally don't decide when to go to war, civilian leadership usually does. While the Military School thinking prevailing at the time definitely did not consider the l

The worst thing is that our politicians seems to be mostly inclined to say they are disappointed whenever a new scandal erupts, and then nothing happens. If only they would have been as forceful in response as the new Social Agency scandal

I don't know of a de jure distinction either, but clearly there is a de facto distinction. Perhaps the law is undefined on this subject?

Well, in most cases people don't get taken into custody (I believe that is the proper term?), because the police does not deem them a security risk until their trial commences. But if the police decides to take you into custody (eff
