And distrusting the DNC is not a conspiracy theory. A political party is free to choose its candidate however it pleases, and it came out that they tampered with the 2016 results. A few months ago, Obama was quoted saying that if Sanders ap

You're absolutely right. You don't have to believe me but I called the last recession. It's not bad news that's frightening. It's a disproportionate government and market reaction. Governments making a lot of noise

As a non-vampire, I have to laugh at "quality of life." You can't use those tax savings, or any amount of money for that matter, to buy a clear day in January. Not to mention the wildly different personalities cultivated by e

I decided based on your statement: > There's enough evidence for Amazon to take legal action. The "enough" here is zero. They may have more, but you argued for at least zero.

This is the real answer, it's a huge career risk to make compilers your niche unless you have an academic background in it. The gatekeepers in most CS specialties are really good, and there's an attitude that if you're not

Anyone else write a a lot of ripper scripts like youtube-dl but never share them for fear of starting an arms race with the content provider? It's easy to rip most .ts/XHR video streams with a bash loop.
