Succinct data structures are used in bioinformatics (e.g., in combination with FM-Index).

Assange is what actual journalist looks like. Mass media are there just to repeat the "intelligence community consensus", not to tell people the truth. After Lusitania, Gulf of Tonkin, babies out of incubators, WMDs, Russiagate, t

The comments here disgust me. People here used to have some principles, now there's so many people just repeating establishment talking points.

Sorry, I misread OP. People treat "should do" and "should be able to do" frequently as the same thing in these cases (Twitter and "free speech" is another such case).

Of course they should be able to, but that's not what OP asked.

There has been a huge fearmongering campaign behind net neutrality, partially funded by companies that profit from net neutrality. Net neutrality is a classic case of regulatory capture, the very thing people think it will suppress. If you

People being forced to pay for someone's healthcare is more heartwarming to you than people voluntarily paying for someone's healthcare?

Well, you should have said "we own a company", not "I own a company", if you're running a co-op. How have I reversed how payroll works?

Yeah, so what you defined is a crony capitalism. We should move as far away from that as possible. It's not moral people are forced to pay for these things.

Part of freedom is responsibility. If you want to be intellectually consistent, you would never trust MSM. They lied about every war, their body count is far far higher than that of some YouTube channels.

Teachers, road workers, and federal law enforcement do a terrible job, because of the incentives in the government jobs. The soldiers and the endless wars are the worst examples of what the government can do.
