"the right-wing nutcases that pull its strings..." You may want to look into the history of the military in the U.S., both right and left share in it's excesses.

Even if it's (asset forfeiture) a statistically rare event, we have to worry about it because it is a deeply corruptive practice. Asset forfeiture goes against much of the philosophical underpinnings of this nation.

Every time an article that has something to do with diet, exercise, or lifting gets posted we come out of the woodwork. Awesome goal by the way, I wish best of luck with it.

For the record, there is a large number of long time users to this site that are very serious about lifting in general. Furthermore, as it's been repeatedly stated, articles that are submitted to HN are what interest the community and

Well, I guess I should apologize to the folks at bob.com. It's example.com for me from now on.

Do you have right? Yes. Should you lie to your partner? Probably not. People have the right to do many things, even if those things are not beneficial to them in the long term.

Agreed (although biased since I used to work at Continuum.) I am wondering what others think of conda?

Wasn't that an issue with the overwhelming demand (and not having sourced enough ingredients) as opposed to shipping issues? I don't think your shipment of Soylent was in transit for six months.

I don't know if a war party or a pirate crew are good options. Startups are attempting to create wealth. War parties and pirate crews aren't engaged in wealth creation, they are involved in wealth destruction. This is an import

Nice job. This looks like a much better and more complete position sizing tool then the one I built (more of a learning exercise for me.) I wonder if the William Eckhardt position sizing algorithm was used. http://powerful-reac

I've come to the conclusion that those who successfully employ technical analysis (i.e. chart reading, etc.) are practicing a form of risk management (knowingly or unknowingly), but do so consistently. In short, they are quickly out w

A simple law mandating that all officers wear body cams is probably not going to be all that effective. As another commentor mentioned, it's not real clear how this could be handled at the federal level. The threat of these cams bein

Employees are not employers so I don't see how this a violation of Title VII since nothing of the nature has come to pass. I can demand anything I want this does not constitute abuse of any sort.

Please articulate how they are being bigots. Also, how exactly are they fascists? I don't see any of them advocating for the subjugation of individuality or economic freedom for the furtherance of the state. Fascism has an actual me

This isn't a witch hunt. Publicly professing your convictions has ramifications. "these folks are abusing the freedom they have to attack somebody..." What abuse? These people are exercising their freedom. Their freedom of

Incompetence can be criminal. I was speaking towards intent. It's doubtful there was intent to defraud. This doesn't mean that those involved shouldn't suffer the consequences of their actions. *Minor edit

I'm inclined to believe that it was incompetence & overconfidence that lead to the collapse. I suppose we will have a better understanding of what happened in the months to come.

You can be as sarcastic as you like, but Marx isn't the only one who gets to define socialism. Coercive government action can rightly be lumped in with socialism. It does not mean that only socialist take coercive government action,
