You might wait, what, a 10 person line to get a free t-shirt? Making 5 “corrected typo” commits is probably equivalent to that effort and looks like 5 is enough to get past a spam tag.

> The public pays the bills of these people who can't afford medical care or end-of-life expenses. Just privatize it! The human meat grinder will be perfected.

America supports Israel financially, politically, and with military support. Israel is genociding Palestinians right now. And you have constant bombings of civilians in the Middle East. And you have sanctions on Venezuela and Iran which lea

This is just one study [1]. There are plenty of others. Mass privatization killed a lot of people in Russia. It’s already been publicly admitted by US politicians that the Russian elections were influenced and tampered with by the US as dis

Mass-privatization and dismantling of the government in Russia (that was done with strong influence and election tampering by the US) caused increase in poverty, increase in death rates, lowering of life expectancy in Russia. A lot of peopl

Calibre is 13 years old and widely used. There is no reason someone would want to not use it because of as trivial a reason as Python 2 to 3 except for some rationalized emotional nonsense about the Python 2 to 3 shift. Every time Python 2

So what if they leave? The Federal Reserve is in the United States, so is the political power, the military, the banks, the land, the factories, etc, etc, etc. The US government can tax US citizens from anywhere in the world. The government

Don't even know what to say about this. I'll probably vote third party but I'm not going to pretend it's going to have any effect whatsoever on what the eventual Democrat or Republican president would do about Assange.

This is funny. People used to recommend calling/mailing your local Congress representative and try to get them to do something about their particular concern. Now that Congress is completely partisan and just follows the top down party

Given: 1) a system in which either party A or party B win by small margins, and 2) a group of people who votes overwhelmingly for party B. Let's think of options to increase election win probabilities for party A. One option: legislate

People have strong preferences for one candidate over another. Approval voting takes that preference from voters, which instinctually seems like a very unattractive system. E.g., let’s say I’m a “moderate” in the US in 2008. I would like ei

Ultra religious Brahmins have a rule where they don’t allow non-Brahmins to enter their house. I think the parent’s problem might be due to having non-Brahmins enter their house often if the couple were living in India. While if the couple

No, the article says Dalits make up 25% of the population. According to Wikipedia, upper castes (Forward Castes/Others) make up 18% to 30% of the population, depending on how they're counted, I think. https://en.wikiped

I don't think you'd want to whitewash Zenz as a Tibet-Xinjiang researcher when he is known to have said that he is on a religious mission against China. https://thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/china-detai
