Sorry, but I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you claiming that the real elite programmers are members of the IWW (aka "wobblies") or are you using the term in a different manner?

This is simply not true and the only place reporting this is a far-right blog. You are not entitled to your own facts. Edit - Here's a Snopes link describing the particulars of the falsehood: http://www.snopes.com/phila

I bought mine 18 months ago and I am extremely satisfied with the quality (both build and sound) for what I paid. They absolutely live up to the reputation PortaPros have.

I think you'd be surprised to find that the answer for many is yes. I for one cannot in good conscience support any politician whose economics are neoliberal and whose social policies are oppressive. I think Trump's xenophobia and

Yeah it's a shame that our government still doesn't acknowledge its role in killings of labor organizers and union members. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worker_deaths_in_Unite...

I have to wonder if these are Chinese immigrants who are loyal to the government in China and as such find Trump's strong authoritarian streak reminiscent of home.

If anything, I'd call that a charitable description, and definitely not as strongly worded as most would write.

Just FYI that's basically opposite how the phrase "doesn't bother" is idiomatically used in at least American English.

Absolutely they should. But I don't think a rational self-interested company would continue to allow those APIs to be used in order to facilitate a competitor siphoning off users.

I agree that these are all significant challenges. However I believe that in the absence of a licensing body, we as professionals can still reach consensus-based conclusions on minimum standards of professional ethics. And I suspect very st

I've seen it said before and I'll say it again. Anyone who works for companies who make products like this in any capacity should be blacklisted in the industry. The missing scruples here could fill several large containers.

>Poitras is enemy of U.S. military Poitras is pretty clearly not a fan of the US military, but I don't think she's been declared an "enemy combatant". Calling her an "enemy" of the military is disingenuous.

Funny enough, the phrase "virtue signaling" itself acts as "virtue signaling", as at this point it is used almost exclusively by members of online communities who are opposed to political correctness and are often outwar

Libel laws in the UK are notoriously very favorable to the plaintiff. At least in the US, the test is more along the lines of "knowingly false".

Well, from my experience hanging around in leftist subreddits, I can say there's an awful lot of loud and repeated objection to the Reddit admins harboring neo-nazi fora such as the aforementioned /r/european. Whether the adm

It's interesting that the highest non-history subreddit is /r/european, which is a neo-nazi forum. Cool dataset at least.

While that may be true, I would speculate that due to higher spending on social programs, the European poor enjoy I higher quality of life than their American counterparts. Don't discount things like tax-funded transportation, healthca

Wow thanks for the reply. It seems like things are really improving. Here in the USA, we seem to be moving almost backward, with the telecom companies just now implementing caps on previously uncapped connections, and fighting against the d

Except this is an article about Interix. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft seems to have discarded this particular technology entirely and started over fresh with Ubuntu on Windows.

I apologize, I read the FBI part in another article and I can't seem to corroborate the claim that the FBI is involved. As such I am editing the title. Apologies for the sensationalism. Edit: it would seem I can no longer edit the titl

Right but that logic could be used to prevent mass adoption of better crypto. Brand new crypto is not in "common use". We could, for instance, see the state ban the use of quantum-resistant algorithms by private citizens if citize

While I agree that the US is becoming a "turn-key totalitarian state" it is patently absurd to compare Sanders' brand of social democracy (an ideology incredibly far from Socialism) with Trump's fascism. Social democracy

Because the alternative is to offer the poor no opportunity to improve their financial situation through education. Permanent hopeless underclasses do not make for a stable society.
