Let me make a point... A couple centuries ago the similar story unfolded with some Galileo fella. I understand a few chaps were even burnt at stake (yikes!). The spat was about some astrophysical matter, and it was obvious to everybody that

So, they made good money, and that's why you think it is OK to behave in such manner?

This is classic bullying. A group of cowards get together and beat up some poor fella who can't respond in kind. I don't understand how did this become acceptable.

Look: if you think you have a case, ask Joe to invite you to a program, and argue your point. I don't think he is of the anchors who would argue with you in bad faith. I am pretty sure that if Neil actually had something valid to say i

Let me lay down some parallels here: reporter posting fake news, damaging reputation of good people. Actually causing tangible harm to innocents by his bad reporting. Spiderman was given powers to be his judge, jury, and executioner, but he

If someone like this individual is your ideal of a leader, more power to you. And one _can_ really be a leader while doing something menial (look at Buddha for example), but there has to be something more to a person than walking dogs. And

With great power comes great responsibility. You don't see spiderman ripping in pieces that reporter who harassed him, and if you did, it would be a completely diff character. You don't abuse your power to punish people you disagr

I think we both agree that he did not only make threats, but also follow up on them. Weinstein could also have made arguments that he never threatened any actresses to sleep with him, he was just withholding jobs from the ones who didn&#x27

walking dogs for living is surely a valid life choice, it's just not a type of career you would expect from leader of a movement.

Not dealing with platforms you don't like is one thing, blackmail is another.

Yea, he just blackmailed a platform to censor fellow content creator. Perfectly fine principled gentleman. Because that's how we all should do with each other, and the peace would come upon us

They will probably ban you with something like I got today: > Anyone using terms like "SJW," "cancel culture," "virtue signal" etc is an absolute ass, so, goodbye. Banned! > Edit: my bad, it wasn't a

You also need to decriminalize heroin, meth, and crack cocaine among others before feds would start looking for more work

Which is missing the point of taxation. It was supposedly set up so that people pay their fair share. Now it is used to entrap people

Sub 100k engineers are a fiction. Sure, you could get somebody on staff for under 100k salary, but it's not necessarily going to be someone competent. But even aside from that: OK, you found somebody who agrees to work for 90k. What ab

Another thing that irks me as blatantly wrong is that those account bans just cut the people off the network cold turkey. Even criminals don't get such treatment. You don't just "disappear" if you are convicted. But with

Well, you can't expect facebook to enable banned accounts for a single day, so that solution is off the table. Also, analogy with pedos is somewhat flawed: there is an actual reason why people don't want them around schools. Nobod

It is an interesting point. Yes, Facebook is a private firm and can do whatever it wants. But municipality is not. We must either ban public agencies from using such platforms or make them accountable to the sane standard as government

I don't know if that helps really. All you do in your comment is reiterate the issues and opine that they are not that bad. But they were bad enough for those several times when I tried to use ipfs for my projects, and I am not a noob.

And there lies problem. You pay 10 bucks a month to behemoth, but would you pay 1 cent to the site which gives you less value than Netflix? That would be way impractical. So the smaller sites have to turn to ads and tracking to keep the lig

If you can code, then explain, but not in reverse - that indicates you don't have a path to solution in your mind without some trial and error. Some levels of engineering require you to have one, at least for certain tasks.

First off, not all Amazon branded stuff is crap. For example, its motor oil it top-notch. Batteries are quite adequate. Then, if it is Amazon branded and it's crap, you buy one and then you know to not buy this anymore. When you go ove
