Many libraries in the US come from the hypercapitalist era of robber barons. They predate the word "capitalism". They predate the idea that there could even exist something other than capitalism. People generally prefer free marke

Over his donation to a (very) popular political campaign in California. Recall that Obama was elected in the same year as Eich's donation on a platform that marriage is defined to be between a man and a woman, and that the proposition

You cannot simply declare your every worldly desire to be a "civil right". You don't have a civil right to change the meanings of words.

Disagreements about the meaning of the English word "marriage" arent even political disagreements. No more so than any other disagreements about what words mean. Disagreeing that marriage can, by definition, include homosexual rel

Downloading something isnt redistributing it. It is your website. You provide what is on it to me. I send you an HTTP request. You dont have to respond. You do. I am not copying anything. Copyright simply isnt engaged at any point in this p

Indexing has clear analogues from before the Internet. It is obviously not copyright infringement. Quoting a small snippet to give context for a search result also obviously isnt copyright infringement.

There is a difference between Americans and Chinese people but that doesnt mean discriminating on racial lines is justified. Just saying "there is a difference" isnt an argument. Indexing a website isnt the same as reading it, but

You can't prove it in Rust either.

> You absolutely can forbid unsafe code (within a scope of a particular codebases) and some projects happily do it. No, you can't. The standard library contains 'unsafe', all over the place. Even if you discount that, la

All programs can be incorrect. You cannot forbid unsafe code. Its use is necessary to implement basic functionality.

The minimum wage is zero. 'Minimum wage' laws don't have anything to do with the actual minimum wage. They forbid employment at wages within a range between the minimum wage and a certain so-called 'minimum wage'.

This is incoherent. If Kenyans don't have strong employment prospects then offering them jobs isn't "wrongfully exploiting the situation". It's the exact opposite: it is providing them employment prospects they&#x27

Yet the same people who do all this goalpost-shifting will also claim that it's pedantic to say GNU/Linux and that Linux is 'just a kernel'.

Java and JavaScript are more closely related than C and C++ today. They are completely different.

What a pointless comment. If you are doing anything with threads it is far more likely you have a bug in the way you use mutexes than that there is a bug in this code.

Your comment is basically "I hate 'A implies B' because people twist it to mean 'B implies A'". Your comment is, in other words, _literally_ absurd.

Of course people "realise" this. But those REPLs are not actually REPLs. They are interactive language prompts. They aren't actually REPLs. As the joke goes, Python doesn't have a REPL: it lacks READ, EVAL, PRINT and LOO
