He runs a fucking surveillance company. No one is suggesting we throw him in jail for being involved in a fucking KKK drive-by shooting, just that maybe he not run _a fucking surveillance company_.

Ah yes, I forgot that "socialism doesn't work with human nature". Good point, never considered it.

I have lived in a country with universal healthcare. Never have I had more government intervention into my life than living in the US. Never have I been so worried about my civil rights being infringed than in the US. Never have I felt more

How hard is this honestly... Socialism -- Worker ownership of the means of production. Socialism is not "when the government is big" or "when the government does things". A big federal government is not socialism. Norway

No it's not, and the US is far from the only country that has a diversity of culture. The Canadian maritime provinces are extremely different from Nunuvut or downtown Vancouver. Paris is significantly difference than Nice. Shanghai is

I use Python a few times a month for some simple scripting usually. Every time I have to look up how to use `range()` correctly, usually because I forgot if it's inclusive or exclusive. Academics that are used to Matlab or Julia will a

Anytime the CCP does something bad it's some systemic issue with insane conspiratorial motivation that every citizen is complacent in. Anytime the US does something bad it's 'realpolitik', or 'just a bad government,

The capitalists' justification for collecting the surplus value from the renters is said to be the reward for risking their capital. If there is no risk, what purpose does the landlord serve? (beyond simple property management, which r

I've moved 5x5 sheets of plywood and 10' 2x4s in my '04 G35 without too much trouble. The back seats don't even fold down, I just stuff everything through the ski hole or tie it on the roof :). I would probably rather ha

I agree overall but that's a weird comparison with the tag connect. It's not meant to be small, it's meant to avoid soldering a header down to the target board for programming. It's useful for Z-height or cost savings, n

A 'header' is a board-to-board or wire-to-board connector: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/w-rth-elektronik/6... This is the type of connector most commonly used in hobby electronics, such

I2S is much closer to SPI than I2C. It really has nothing to do with I2C other than it connects chips together on a board.

If it's your first project, stick with common 0.1" headers unless you need something very specific (small, high pin count, etc). You can buy locking versions if needed.

I don't think I've ever run more than 5 or 6 devices on an I2C bus without running into rise time, bus contention, or address collision issues. Some devices scoop tons of addresses, and most only allow re-assignment to a few alter

The challenge becomes what to do next. Do we follow Lenin's teaching and attempt a revolution, do we structure our society around trade-unionism, do we need to invent a new form of government, or are we destined to a fascist future rul

Often they are waiting for you to say something before they start. I'm not exactly sure why but I think the strategy is to make it sound more like a real phone call.

Shenzhen in general is a relatively boring modern city because of it's recent growth. There is certainly plenty to do, and lots of electronics in general, but I wouldn't visit specifically as a tourist. If you speak Mandarin well

This is barely worth a reply based on your tone but here we go: (1) "Poor people make bad financial decisions" is practically a meme at this point. Why do they make those decisions? Perhaps the incessant advertising and rampant co

This is a very good point. Beating people down rarely results in their most productive work. Any good manager knows this. Hell, I generally enjoy my job but go though legitimately lazy periods. These are well-contrasted by productive period

The Scandinavian implementation is not the only option; although it would still be an improvement. ~$700 is about what people pay for 'Bronze' plans before their deductible. For someone with a chronic condition, the average out-of

Sure, it's certainly better than nothing. However, it's not really altruistic on Amazon's part. They avoid significant unionization, workplace democratization, or material social change by paying their workers a tiny bit more

While I wouldn't be _surprised_ if it's a deliberate strategy, I think it's more likely that the incentives just align in, as you said, a very convenient coincidence for the political elite and bourgeois interests in society.

I honestly don't think this is that important, and I think means-testing or 'laziness'-testing is more effort than it's worth. There will always be lazy people in society, and we have a lot of evidence that lazy people a

100% agree that something needs to happen. The way we treat less-fortunate people is shameful and undignified. My biggest concern with UBI specifically is that it will be absorbed by landlords and other societal rent-seekers. My personal op

I certainly wasn't claiming all Amazon products (or even some of the home security products in isolation) were upper middle class. However, most at-home services _are_ upper middle class, and owning a reasonable number of security prod

That's just great. They're creating this massive underclass of workers that won't be able to afford any of the services they provide. They'll be constantly monitored and any mistake will force them out of the entirely of
