It is entirely possible that Vonnegut was a socialist and that he worried about the logical end of an obsession with "equality". He may have believed that socialism applied entirely and only to economic matters. After all, Marx

I suspect the point of "oceanic shipping lanes they have no ability to control or secure without the US Navy" is "shipping lanes they cannot secure FROM the US Navy". There is no way for a cargo ship to arm itself agains

Wonderful. Two thoughts: - Is the use of the first person entirely correct? Shouldn't there instead be some reference to the convening institution, such as "management" or "proprietors", or the community? (Though

Is this that big a deal? I dislike the Chinese Communist Party, but in sport players sacrifice wins and position for stronger teammates all the time. It's routine in F1 and the Tour de France. The cases aren't entirely comparabl

Historically it's very unusual for someone with so much power to allow his regime to collapse so peacefully. And it's remarkable that Soviet politics, some of the most brutal and self-serving in history, would find such a figure

The point of the comment is that "fix it" isn't an option when the maintainers won't even look at your bug fix. I'm VERY appreciative of FOSS but it does seem that if you are going to maintain a project then it isn&

It's possible that you are more accommodating than others of the company's needs and thus more easily assigned to the legacy maintenance. If so, the solution is to be less accommodating. Insist on being part of the new developmen

This. I don't how anyone would commit anything more than pocket change to a scheme where an insider could deliberately introduce a weakness and then exploit that weakness to walk off with all the funds committed.
