Right - it's a value judgement, I agree. With which one can agree or disagree (ie find it true or false - not in a axiomatic sense that 2+2=4 true, but in a 'most people find it so' true). But the commenter who said 'it&

Right - but when you start spending 10,000 or more per month to Amazon, you might consider analyzing if you can save money with own servers, right?

Linkbait - this is just common sense. New companies also rent office space but at a certain point they buy/build their own. Should we say 'Why some companies say office rental is a waste of money'?

Your article main point is that 'Chomsky's lies are not lies - they are things that reasonable men can disagree about'. As someone who actually grew up in USSR and knows a lot about its history, I can tell you that reasonable

This site is a collection of articles written by scores of writers of various political persuasions over decades. I would expect Chomsky supporters with an iota of critical thinking to be able to read them and see for themselves how reliabl

I think the truth is more complicated - here is another account that says the opposite (from a Cambodian): http://frontpagemag.com/2010/jlaksin/chomsky-and-the-khmer-r... The point is rather is not that he is pro

Good point, stay in the communist bubble. G-d forbid you read something critical that changes your mind. Much better to hide behind 'criticism is written by people who dislike him, so not worth reading' defense. Perhaps you should

This article is the ultimate proof that ANY Medium link is garbage. I'm glad Tolstoy is not around anymore and is not able to post on Medium as it would surely turn out to be bad.

The problem is that US dwarfs the rest of the continent in most things - economy, scientific development, etc. In other words - if a random person somewhere in the world mentions 'America' they are most likely refering to the USA.

Yep, agreed. What I find funny is that the people who are writing these articles are advanced users and not some grandmother who needs protection. Ie - if you are either a designer who deeply cares about how your icons look - don't be
