Sorry I was unclear and hasty there. The EC ensures the presidency is not democratic.

One thing I learned from freelancing: never say no to a new project. Quote an outrageously high price instead. What's the worst that can happen? They pay it.

This is such baloney. Another way it resembles crypto. Humans sense, interpret, organize, and consciously feel and experience internal and external stimuli none of which is applicable to stochastic parrots.

I was certainly amazed how easy it is to just share my game screen while playing. If I screenshare with Slack it messes the system up and I need to kick the Windows Explorer task which causes it to restart which fixes the messes.

I really must note this ideal is already not practiced in the United States, in fact it never was. The Electoral College, the Senate, the Supreme Court ensures this. After Citizens United I wouldn't be surprised at all if eventually

It would have been much better if the title were "We need more of Richard Stallman's ideas, not less". The author even acknowledges this in the preamble.

I still don't understand the synergies here... to be fair: I don't understand the synergy between holding Vogue and Wired at the same time either but what do I know.

That might not work out as well as you thought: Reddit has been already caught restoring those.

It's very hard to make a living out of music. It's easier than ever to create some but making a living wage? I think a lot of "long tail" bands are doing it on the side. Patreon was supposed to change this but https:&#x
