Slightly less than half the country _that voted_* this past election. That's not close to half the country

Disagree. As an immigrant to the US, I see many cultural norms that the US has (at scale, despite heterogeneous population) that were bizarrely foreign to me, but that I (and other immigrants like me) quickly picked up on and developed. Exa

By Republicans, I didn't mean your average Joe who votes Republican, but people running for office who have to toe the party/big-donor line (regardless of what they believe) or else lose access to support/funding. I highly do

Considering how anti-science republicans tend to be, I'm not surprised.

Does the brand of company matter later in your career?

You sound like you're mocking it, and I almost didn't respond, but here goes (hoping you'll take this in good faith): people in the west like to nitpick on this, but you have to understand that Islam was born in an incredibly

Eh, I think there's a lot of room for progressivism out there. Problem is that a lot of Muslim-majority countries out there are very much in the dark ages, where the orthodox religious institutions have a chokehold on society, and that

Really? I thought several denominations of Christianity frowned on non-procreational sex.

by mkaziz 10y ago
Islam, actually, does not. Sex between a husband and wife is considered worship.

I use JSPM on my projects and I have several dependencies on github repos that aren't in NPM. Anyone have any ideas on a fallback solution for when github goes out like this?
102.
by mkaziz 10y ago
My builds are broken because they have dependencies on github repos.

Yeesh, that name sounds like something a fifth grader would come up with.

This answer seems sound to me, I'm not sure why it's being downvoted. Can someone explain why they disagree?

Got any tips for someone trying to do the same?

What kind of children's books, out of curiosity? I have some interest there myself.

What's an NGO/EDU/Gov scam?

I don't think Catan is particularly complex. I play casual rounds with friends all the time.

What's wrong with a wind farm, out of curiosity? I personally love driving by a windmill farm that's near a local highway.

Funnily, I'd be okay with that. I guess I'm just an old fogey though.

I wish the US had laws like the EU that protected the consumer.

Thanks for creating that by the way. I've subscribed to it, and my library of books to read is growing quite a lot as a result!

I believe they recently started closing those too.

Not just for the internet, friend. Not just for the internet.

I think you're confusing my suggestion (it being okay to help black kids escape the cycle of poverty using tax dollars) with blanket socialism? I didn't say anything about socialism.

I don't understand how you're addressing my argument, but I'm arguing in favour of the concept of targeting a specific population to help them and saying that this approach is not bigoted. I'm not talking about the how,

by mkaziz 10y ago
Very true, that does happen, and it is unfair, but it's a cost of helping the oppressed. Welfare is a great example of this: let's say for a population of 12 that gets welfare, 4 recipients become welfare queens (able to work but

I agree that it if it is a fake incident, it would be awful and would disqualify real issues. I'm not sure what the background of this girl is (maybe she's an immigrant who's only heard bad things about the police, campus or

I'll agree with you that the feminist movement adopts tactics that are counterproductive sometimes (not everyone does everything correctly) but I disagree with you in that there is a point helping out a certain group. Consider a resour

I think you misunderstand the fear of reprisal minorities feel. It is a truly awful feeling to not be able to either a) trust law enforcement to not dismiss you because of your minority status, or even actively repress you (black people in
