I get what you are saying. What led to my jumping off to that topic is the original post gets into the usual "politics is everywhere" meme (paraphrasing). If this is the case then the discussion about parties is more than a littel

I've seen this touched on several times across various threads, but if you can compile down to assembly, is there an advantage to use a custom forth as essentially the bytecode to compile down to? It's always impressed me just how

He's famous for spreading racist rumors about McCain (he had adopted a darker-skinned girl) during the 2000 primaries. There's a documentary about him. Boogeyman? Something like that.

This is not a flame war, rather an analysis of what happened. Is that not possible? We really at the point that trying to discuss this objectively is seen as a threat of "war"? Who is Singer? Is this thread not an example of the m

This happened in 2014 when this same group believed that they could win the governership of a conservative state with an abortion-supporter. I'm not making a judgment on that position, I'm just saying that it completely misunderst

Yes and the first Jews and African-Americans that gained positions in government gained them as Republicans. Prior to the Southern strategy, the democratic party was the party of Jim Crow and lynchings and backwards ass race hatred. But the

I'm Jewish Colombian among other things. I'm a mutt. I can pass as white. Where my dad came from (Scary Gary) you voted Republican because up until about the 1960s, they were the party that cared about immigrants and wanted them t

I have been diagnosed with OCD. One of the things you learn through medical treatment by qualified physicians is the general belief that a disorder like OCD has genetic factors. These can be latent and untriggered but in the case of OCD in

We need to understand that 45 is a symptom of a social and political system and not a one-off uniquely bad example.

Using all encompassing terms like "academia" is the problem. I've been in academia for more than a decade. We're a regional school with lots of foreign students as well as commuter students. The professors that I've

I think you are absolutely on the money here, but I also think we didn't benefit and he benefitted greatly from the fact that people jumped to comparing him with one of the worst dictators of all time. Did his personality dispose him t

This is kind of ignoring that people get and look for different things in sex work than they do in regular relationships. There's no indication that 20% actually would prefer to be sex workers to get more men.

Can't be ignored but that rise was caused by and coincides with a ton of other cultural, social, and technological changes.

You'd want to do both. You want to see the variation and effects across countries but Houston has a very different culture than all of those places.

It not only doesn't say anything about the intended effect, it can't as it is designed, and the intention is different across the people involved - juries, victims, judges, and voters.

A lot of people don't get it, but this is Texas urban culture in general (that is, the majority of the state). The low cost of living meant lots of immigration. We're nearly majority minority. If you had an ego or resources, you&#

Not just that but some judges are elected and research (I know, no cites) shows that elected judges get tougher in election years. Now you're making me wonder if they controlled for elected judges.

No, he said he made up the term, based on that speech, but that speech was describing an old strategy that the Russians understood Eastern European/Middle Eastern uprisings to be a result of. It's basically guerilla warfare + a p

Yeah, they're very much doing it. Pandas is huge, libraries like Spacy, NetworkX, etc exist. It's a massive and good ecosystem. Python is the goto for scientific computing in most of the sciences for newer students I'd hazard
