In the same article: "Even as new cases and hospitalizations soar, the number of daily deaths in Texas has remained relatively low.". There may or may not be an increase of cases when the economy opens. While the former is more li

I guess some vocal voters may actually prefer free money, than going to a tedious work and politicians pander to them.

There are more and more reasons to open back the economy. Does it make sense to keep stalling? Most likely some people will avoid the infection this way, but at what cost to others.

Yes, trolls are a problem when one wants to promote free speech. It means you cannot censor them, but you should find a mechanism to discourage such destructive behaviour. Maybe a similar system that exists in real life and real personal re

Well, but did they really ban more accounts than Twitter? I highly doubt it, just for the reason that Twitter is older and has more users overall. But if there are any stats that you can point us to, I can be convinced.

I did not know about the implicit rules. I do not use Parler yet. However the problem with trolls is a hard one to solve on any platform, especially on the platform that wants to promote free speech. If they turn out to be a right wing vers

For example there is Parler, an alternative to Twitter. While it is not a state company, it promotes free speech. They claim "Our content is moderated based off the FCC and the Supreme court of the United States which enables free expr

What about the call to dox the Covington kids by a verified account. Is there anything comparable to it on the right side? I do not think so. The rules for thee, but not for me. https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status&#

Well, objectively the Twitter is biased against conservatives. See a talk on Joe Rogan with Tim Pool and CEO of Twitter. So, the most obvious example is, if you are conservative and assert that there are only two sexes and happen to refer t

Does not that mean the mainstream media is no longer mainstream? It is important to get info from multiple sources including left, right, because they all have their biases diverting from the truth and often reality. You cannot simply trust

Elon is right it is insane. We do not want monopolies. And especially monopolies on information, books. I am not convinced that splitting a company by a government is the best solution, however in this case I do not see any other quick way

Just because they legally can does not mean they should censor the official representatives of the voters. The bigger the audience the more important it gets to show all points of views. The sun is the best disinfectant. The wrong ideas sho

Yeah, but it has a downside. You can be recorded so you have to act as if what you are saying is going to be publicly available in the Internet forever.

Yes, exactly. Sun is the best disinfectant. We should not allow speech to be banned, because then we do not know what people think anymore. If we suppress the free expression we may find that really bad ideas are silently spreading without

Is this news or opinion piece? Incendiary is clearly an opinion. "(...)not to take action on incendiary comments posted to the social network by U.S. President Donald Trump."

While not perfect free market/capitalism pulled up more people from poverty than any other system. It is usually about who you compare yourself to. If you compare yourself to 1% of the most wealthy country in the world then you are mos

Nitpick, but file permissions in Linux take normally 12 bits. You probably did not count SUID, SGID and sticky bit.

Upside is that the queues are usually much shorter and you do not waste as much time waiting in line. Also, as noted in another comment, it may lead to lower prices.

Environment vs genetics is a minefield for anyone who tries to be objective. Just say that differences are in 99% shaped by environment and you are fine and safe for today. However a lie is good for a short time, but really bad for a long t

"Every year, American cities and states spend up to $90 billion in tax breaks (...)" Is reducing taxes really equivalent to spending? I do not think so.

But is there a "rape culture"? I mean there are criminals that commit rape. But what are the reasons to call it a culture. As far as I know, the rape, at least in the western world, is perceived as a terrible thing and is punished

No, that is not what I meant. I meant that the biological parents should be financially responsible for their child by default. If someone wants to voluntarily take over the responsibility it is fine. But the state should not force you to s

I doubt that "for some people the best way to handle their trauma is to never speak of it and pretend it never happened" is actually true. I would like to see some study that proves that. Otherwise you just empower the rapists for
