   so let me get this straight, the few german communists that didn't get murdered, moved to russia and did the gulag thing? I was always under the impression that russians did their own overthrow of their predecessors, I didn't real

   sure, but doesn't that sort of require me to believe print debugging is the same as carrying water from a well? I'm happy that debuggers work for folks who like them, and I'm not above using one but for me, the plain old fash

   Print debugging also lets me debug precisely how I want, across all languages that allow display of a value at a particular point in code. I'm not dissing folks who like the debuggers, but I think theres always going to be some folks w

   I'd like to read up on the gulags and firing squads of the German left around that timeframe, can you point me to some examples, coming up a bit short on Google.

   On the other hand, "both sides" can be used to rationalize bad actors. I'd imagine that 1940's Germany would be an excellent countpoint to the "both sides" fallacy. Sometimes there really are bad guys and its u

    I differ on this too, I listen to my republican voting friends because I value their friendship more than political differences. Much of this "culture war" is actually a difference in values, so I seek out what my friends values a

    not me, I tune into the news. I can understand why others want to tune out, but its not for everyone.

    you're right of course, this entire thread seems like trumps "both sides" thing. the video has some merit, but one of the mistakes in the video (in my opinion) is telling us to "politely explain our side", but I&#x2

    I was just correcting your statement that there is no inherent scarcity with intellectual property.

    I think we can still have intellectual property rights even in this context. Some things are worth working on at a national level, like the vaccine, but that doesn't have to be an argument in abolishing all IP rights. We don't hav

    Its not the listener who we serve with intellectual property, its the creator. Of course the listener loses no value, because they in fact do not own the intellectual property, they possess the ability to benefit from it. If there is no pro
