Corporate interests are not bad per se , you would have to point to something nefarious that it has led to. Most people seem to think corporate interest in Linux has made it better by raising the level of investment to the extent that we c

To begin with, don't just blindly fire people who are maintaining nuclear weapons? The EPA? CDC? Park rangers? I am not arguing against cutting your government spending,but you shouldn't just cut shit willy nilly without regard fo

It's just a figure of speech. Obviously, citizens have the right to vote for whatever immigration policy they would like. Maybe I should have said "ethically, you should not deny others a benefit that was granted to you", whi

It doesn't matter if it went up or stayed the same (or even went down). Coal consumption would have gone down even faster if the nuclear plants stayed open. Closing the plants showed that they were not serious about reducing fossil fue

They expressed an opinion. I expressed a different opinion in response. Whose free speech has been hurt?

Do Germans choose to live in Germany, or are they born there by some cosmic accident? If you chose to live in Germany, native Germans let you in. You have no right to stop them letting another person in.

Have you done a computation of the equivalent amount of inputs into getting petrol/LNG/coal power to you and compared? Why are incumbent sources of power always excluded from this cost-benefit-analysis?

Not true, we build novel knowledge all the time. You only have to look at *gestures at everything *.

Not really. Look at open-slum, libgen is uniformly red. Maybe some domains that share the name are operating, but none that provide the same interface, with downloadable files.

Libgen has been down for a couple of months. It seems the seas are getting a bit choppy.

Do novel issues get a negative reaction? Retreading old grievances is pointless, but I think if you have a reasonable new gripe (that's not dae hate systemd like me?)you would be just fine.

The law doesn't punish those who break it. It punishes those who can't afford expensive legal teams and those who hurt people who can afford expensive legal teams.

What's the point of humans (other than the ai and robotics ip owners) in this scenario?

If you have the presence of mind during a crash to look for your luggage, you're not in a panic, you're just selfish.

Then you fire those "HR drones" along with the ostensibly "useful" people and suddenly you can't reach the "useful" people to rehire them because you fired HR.

We need to recalibrate the overton window. Anything remotely based in reality is immediately labelled far-left these days.

I have a lot of antipathy towards the passengers who are getting out with their backpacks; if one takes the time to pick up their stuff they are probably in the way, take more time getting out, and could cause the death of other passengers

Are you thinking the salary cap hasn't changed from the 90s? The MLE is 12.3m this year, and that is a high-end role player. If one plays at that level for 8 years, they make that amount you're complaining about. And the cap is ex

No, but the best of them will generally do great things with the tools they are afforded. Just like all the previous generations.

Bertans is a close to 8PPG, 40%3P shooter in his career. Sounds like a useful role player to me. Not everyone has to be Lebron James.

Germany has BaFin ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Financial_Supervisory_... ), a federal agency that does the same thing. You missed my point entirely.

I don't think those parties are the ones enacting tax credits for manufacturers and suppliers. If they had a choice, those wouldn't exist.

Why are you assuming that all countries don't have a CFPB equivalent? Do they also not have parliaments that make laws since they do not have a US Congress?

Skill issue, it seems. Facetiousness aside, the things you do often, you learn once and you don't really have to remember/think when doing them. Most of the esoteric operations are mostly unnecessary to burden yourself with until
