> Ever hear the expression "Your right to your fist only extends as far as my face?" Equating physical violence with someone who called another a "looneytune" is completely unreasonable as they are NOT the same thing.

Amazon and Walmart are fighting each other, which is better for you and me. Also, it isn't all giants fighting it out. The rise of the dollar stores signals the return of the local small store that was once filled by the local mom-and-

> This is empirically false, there are many ways a large business can lock down a market/resource, or very nearly so, and prevent competition from smaller upstarts. Look no further than two-billion-dollar-a-day-revenue Walmart, whos

You should look into render.com which provides a service similar to Heroku. I haven't used them myself and have no connection with them. Their name does pop up a fair bit though.

Function return values is among the worst ideas the PowerShell designers dreamed up. A function will (more or less) return anything output to the terminal. This is a particularly bizarre decision considering how difficult it can be to get m

I've only looked at the tutorials, but it looks like you can push your .md file to a remote git repo to read/edit a shopping list or to collaborate with others on documents.

A consumption tax also gives the working poor tremendous levers to better their circumstances. They aren't taxed on necessities for food and folks who make under a specified amount don't pay the tax at all. Most of the potential i

After playing with it for a few minutes, this looks like it could be a really handy tool. Often times I'd find myself creating enormous diagrams trying to capture everything your tool handles more gracefully. Is there some way to expor

The problem with this is when a group cries wolf, are the people going to continue to listen? Eventually, Machiavellian tactics turn your credibility to mud. You end up in a place where folks don't believe anything a group says. Then y

The article you linked to is poor mostly because it's liberally bathed in whataboutism. Tibet's backwardness has nothing to do nor does it justify China's actions in Tibet. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm certainly no CSS guru. And as you said, CSS doesn't cover everything. However, you can do quite a bit with CSS that most developers don't bother with: https://bradleytaunt.com/dynamic-checkboxes/ ht

I'm definitely not a military analyst, but I haven't seen anything indicating that the Chinese are capable of employing the DF-26 as you describe. If anything, it is a deterrent against nuclear first strike which is how it's

I said that Hong Kong avoided totalitarianism and is an much larger success story than mainland China (both of which are objectively true). I never claimed that democracy is responsible for Hong Kong's success.

While I understand the instinct to collaborate, I don't see it. No one is better than Google at correlating and extrapolating data about people. Any relatively minor improvements that Google provides would seem to be overwhelmed by han

You need to prove that China's totalitarian policies are A) responsible for the growth and that B) all the deaths and lack of freedom attributable were somehow justifiable (they aren't). A big problem for your argument is that Hon

Startups and open source projects get screwed because of Google's lack of nuance on this issue. Google could have created a tiered fee structure based on number of users, threat vector, etc. but didn't for whatever reason.

Censorship isn't limited to government even though that's the first example that rushes to mind. Any organization or person (i.e. "self-censored") can censor themselves or others. So yes, YouTube is most definitely censo
