Yes, "leftist" is referring to the most radical part of the Democratic party, which is trending more socialist. So both parts are correct.

I feel the primary reason is because things are updated so much more frequently now. It's probably not worth the time to fully document software only for it to become outdated shortly afterwards. Whereas before, software came on CDs, a

The important thing to note here about the March of Return "demonstrations" is that is was not entirely peaceful. From Wikipedia: > Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, admitted in an interview to Al Jazeera "when we t

Children dying is always a tragedy, or any civilians really. Here's a question for you: If the US were to collapse into anarchy, and there was suddenly a void in the world where the US military used to exist, do you think would there b

I wasn't trying to say do nothing, but that just giving a bunch of money just seems somewhat patronizing and wouldn't really make that big of a difference.

If no one paid taxes, then the governments capacity to do bad things would certainly go down. However, then there also probably would be no government and everyone would be worse off. I'm sure lots of tax money is wasted, or used for b

There are parts of US history where terrible things happened. It's important to acknowledge that, and be compassionate towards those it has affected. However, now that the US exists, it does a lot of good for many, many people. As a fi

I think "Guaranteed" was a bad choice, but I'm sure it's still better on average than the majority of free/OSS projects. Unfortunately there will always be a small number of companies using scummy tactics like that,

Definitely. As someone that helps write wiki content for a open source project it's quite a bit of work, for little-to-no recognition, so I can understand why that happens. Plus you don't know if anyone even ends up reading it. I

Yes, I suppose that's true. I should have worded it differently. Perhaps, the average person would be more upset/notice if they were negatively impacted as the result of a security issue, than if some feature, e.g. real time audio

When you're developing such a crucial part of an operating system, wouldn't you want to put security pretty high at the top of the priorities list? If I were an average consumer, I would care much more about my device being secure

I feel like this is just a good way to make women pay as much as men, instead of lowering prices for men to pay as much as women.

Again, I think in the software world sure he has made a big impact. Would the lives of all the people who don't care about "free software" be much different if he didn't exist?

Even so, hevy duty vehicles make up a majority of pollution caused by motor vehicles, which will most likely not be electric in the near future. Additionally, vehicles in general account for a relatively small percentage of all air pollutio

Did something happen to your teeth that basic maintenance like brushing and flossing wouldn't have prevented? What you're describing doesn't sound very normal, even if you never went to the dentist in your life.

This article suggests that there is a gap, and is widening. Only 1 to 61,000 people. It also mentions that they tend to be clustered in more populated areas, leaving some places without any coverage. https://aansneurosurgeon.org&

That is true, but if you're the type of person that likes to help others it's much easier to become a teacher than doctor. Also, if you are a doctor and your primary motivation is helping people, wouldn't you want to help man

According to Wikipedia, there are only .5% of all physicians in the US who can perform neurosurgery. So it's probably safe to say the demand for brain surgery is much higher than the supply. This incentivises people to become doctors t

There has to be an app out there that can use the camera to tell you what color the object in front of it is. Though I can imagine it would take some time it would make it possible to do on your own.

I appreciate the response, but I don't think you really took the time to investigate and cherry-picked a single quote to prove your point. The source you listed is actually disproving your premise. > ... the risk of police victimiza
