It doesn't have to be deliberate but it can be completely unintentional. Let's take a look at the latest rumor mongering about Trump -- many news orgs have happily reported that intelligence agencies have evidence of Watergate-lev

I don't mind kicking them when they're down, news org editors are some of the most vile scum of the earth. They have no shame about peddling garbage. Unless they make a sincere effort to restore trust by reporting the news instead

It still doesn't change the fact that news orgs universally lack the time to conduct real journalism -- fake news is a direct result of reducing the time that journalists have to vet and verify content. Frankly I'm quite happy abo

You mention users not being notified of failed payments -- while Stripe doesn't send emails when this happens, they do provide a webhook.

1. Your short description of "hyper power" plug-ins doesn't inspire hope. 2. How much disk space savings? 20MB? Please. 3. Wow, much features, such productivity.

It seems simple -- progressive extremism and progressive supremacy is what threatens democracy in today's West. The obstinate and divisive leaders of neo-liberalism have made absolutely no effort to reach across the aisle and greet the

That is actually a good analogy. Thank you for that.

What's wrong with encoding the status quo? Why do we have to encode progressive extremism into computer models? Being progressive for the sake of "going forward" sounds like misguided idealism. What do we do when progressive
