Some of the best programmers I know avoid open source. Partly because of the drama. But mostly because if you spend you days working on "qualified" things (business systems, simulation, robotics etc) in a demanding environment wit

You're the one not responding to my arguments, how am I the one being obtuse? How is excluding people you think are intolerant any better then they excluding you for thinking you are intolerant? How is calling people "crybullies&q

That is the exact same argument that the people you are opposing are making, just that you differ in opinion what is considered intolerant. And saying that you should try to exclude people who don't agree with you seems very much like

So you have no problem trying to exclude people based on their opinion as long as it is one you don't agree with? That seem quite hypocritical. Similar to how those who supposedly value diversity of opinion have no problem trying to di

As far as I remember from the original article the tree had been dead for two years. Not sure if the host knew that or not though.

Sweden hasn't been as affected as other countries. Instability will always spill over from conflicts, there's nothing special about this era. RAF occupied the West German embassy in Stockholm in 1975 and planned to kidnap a Swedis

People who have historically done these kinds of act don't care about IS nor are they devote Muslims. They care about support for Israel because it is seen as a further proof of the west mistreating Muslims. It's not about blaming

The problem with declaring the police as terrorist is that they also have legitimate use and the aren't necessarily directly politically motivated. That said, I could see how someone could claim that the crackdown of the civil rights m

I don't think it's "pure scapegoating". It's very much a relevant part to understand the mechanics behind thing like this. The French ban on anti-Isreali demonstrations might very well have helped radicalization and

Yes, the murder of Litvinenko is considered state terrorism by those who can afford to say so. Its not considered random at all. They very publicly killed someone who was an outspoken opponent of theirs. KGB has a long history of both state

That is only because up until recently you could buy blank fire guns in Slovakia that were easily converted to real guns. Otherwise most of the weapons are from the Balkans as a consequence of the war.

That has nothing to do with the definition of terrorism. Groups who do targeted attacks of sabotage that rarely kill people are also considered terrorists. For example the Earth Liberation Front is regarded as terrorists by the US. https:&

I've tried to take that analysis seriously when people have linked it before, but to me it just doesn't seem very relevant to the real world. I'm curious what you mean when you say that it's not about political goals and

There's no need to paraphrase a conversation that is already present. The problem is you didn't only ask for citations, on something that was also clearly an anecdote, but also made your own greater claim i.e. the absence of somet

While I agree with you, I also think this line of reasoning is a distraction. If we could prevent people from punching you on the bus by technological means with very little drawback, we would. It's hard for me to see what is the diffe

Not really the point though. The point is that you're essentially volunteering for surveillance and by doing so saying that the arbitrary safe-guard implemented by the NSA still doesn't make them morally justified to do so, or som

Seem more like your injecting you pet issue into the conversation than any sort real analysis. Why would i even matter? Any single issue is hugely overshadowed by the reality of rapid growth in demand.

So? That seems more like a reason to question the people that wields power more than anything. What's dangerous with "startup royalty" is that they have a following while they are almost never challenged on what they really k

Several people seem to be saying that DDoS isn't one attack, which is correct, but not particularly relevant. Many times the attacks are simpler today, because there's little need for sophistication. Previously many attacks used t

As far as I know, in the US eminent domain has similarly been used to "fight blight". You could argue that the property owner in those cases also had a choice by keeping their property in good condition.

If you believe in free speech I don't see how this would be any more bizarre and alarming doing it on taxpayer-funded land than anywhere else? In fact it would be more appropriate since freedom of speech primarily protect you from gove

Constantly invoking the constitution as an argument, when the heart of the matter is that you disagree, is to cry wolf and undermines its status as an important document. Further it's not a particularly good argument since there are co
