A huge percent of Twitch revenue is from desperate young men obsessing over (and throwing money at) scantily dressed female streamers, so literally from simps. It makes sense that Twitch would ban people for mocking this pitiful behavior. M

First impressions and names matter. As much as we don't like it, human beings are irrational and emotionally driven. There's nothing wrong with discussing a name.

A fair trial is those people trying to take your freedom. Not you getting a service from them.

I have another reply to you that engages with all of your points. Feel free to respond to that. As of now, you haven't given any principled reason for which services should be provided free by the government and which should not.

You have to pay for food. That doesn’t mean that eating isn’t important or that a society wants people to go hungry. By your logic, the private market would just be the domain of luxuries and useless trinkets. The government here provides h

You’re very unlikely to spend that much. If you have multiple serious medical emergencies in the span of one year, $7000 is nothing for having your life saved and getting treatment. Also, the cap is usually much lower than $7000. Also, reme

There is typically some out of pocket component to prevent moral hazard. A good plan will still be covering something like 90% of your costs until you hit the max out of pocket, then it becomes 100%. It’s so you are at least a little cons

A protester holds a camera and he becomes a “journalist”. He gets arrested for smashing windows, and he’s “an arrested journalist”.

Any decent software employer in the US will have good insurance that basically guarantees your max out of pocket health expenses won’t exceed a few thousand dollars. That doesn’t really account for the difference.

Go hiking for a week without showering. You can smell the soap and shampoo on the day hikers from many yards away. You acclimate to just about anything.

You would just follow the C variable scope rules I think. But I see now how this creates an issue if you want to put the defer, but not the acquisition of the resource it releases, within a control statement.

by anonunivgrad 6y ago
The best way to think about defer is that all the deferred statements are put in a goto label at the end of the block. When you break/return/whatever, it just jumps to that label first. This just makes slightly more convenient wha

The Spanish dollar is a silver coin that became the original basis for the US dollar. The US dollar is no longer based on any precious metal and has no connection to other currency (except insofar as other countries peg their currencies to

If we’re talking about dollars in a post-American-collapse world, only the little green pieces of paper and coins have any hope left. Your digital balance would be worthless.

You're being pedantic. You can melt down that coin and sell the silver or use it for a myriad of industrial purposes. The value of the coin is based on the market value for the silver contained inside of it. The metal in American coins

by anonunivgrad 6y ago
The coin is made of silver. That's totally different than American currency, which has no intrinsic value.

This reflexive “YouTube can ban whatever they want” is just a way for people to stop thinking about the issue to avoid cognitive dissonance. Aside from a few hard-headed libertarians, no one who says that believes it in any other context as

You dismiss, elsewhere in this thread, the need to be on the same OS and package versions for years. That’s what people want sometimes. They don’t want to tinker with the system. They don’t need any new functionality, not this year, not nex

I’m not sure you’re appreciating the kind of operation that RHEL is and why these kinds of businesses use it. They don’t want new features. They want a platform that works, that is approved by government regulators, that doesn’t need engine

Two totally different markets. RHEL (and its free clone, CentOS, rip) are for regulated industries or anyone who values extreme stability over any newness. You can turn updates on and feel as safe as you can be against known exploits while

Is this just a ploy to get RHEL licensing $$$ while another project emerges to provide what CentOS used to? The whole point of CentOS was to be a carbon copy of RHEL. Then RedHat bought them and now this... If you successfully fill that voi
