These are all examples of a foreign power fighting a war, not an internal conflict which is mediated by internal violence. Winning a war by not losing is a completely orthogonal endeavor to getting what you want internally. How’d it work o

I think the other 26 amendments + constitution probably have more to do individually, and absolutely do as a collective, with the freedoms of our society. I don't know if you've seen an obese person with a peashooter go up agains

This movement predates Donald Trump by decades, I don’t really think you can paint it in that light UNLESS you are putting him up as a strawman, as the legislator quoted in the article clearly was.

I think there’s a genuine problem with the way that compensation has evolved though. This is in the 2nd or 3rd thread tweet, she says perfectly upfront that she was 23 and had no idea. That is far from unique, I talk to all kinds of people

I don’t know about you but I don’t meet a lot of good guys walking around paying off $44M in libel suit damages. I can’t in good consciousness link to any of the parallel viewpoints, but mostly they center on “chilling free speech effects”

I think Apple is pretty clearly able to "compete with free" and has shown it's possible to make great money by bundling some costs into the hardware + offering good cloud services with low-friction payments.

The modern internet-connected-cellphone-in-your-pocket was the radical advancement of the 2000s, and it's more of a story of packaging existing technology into a tour-de-force which makes it even more interesting. As it's own &qu

I almost went down this sort of road and went 3900x instead. I think the one non-replicated benefit of the older server route is cheap & large amounts of ECC ram, but you're also getting slower ddr3 ram which is why the pricing wo

All personal opinions and not advice but you can go topish to bottom and back to even on the 2009 recession in around 2 years, and that was a bad one. So if your investment horizon is in the +10 year range you can pretty safely just keep on
