It would go against eu-law, but they can still do it, it haven't stopped them before....

That is a very american take on things... I am european and I have the exact opposite view: Public entities are supposed to be neutral, private ones are not.

While I mostly agree, there needs to be some function to filter out trolls and lies. But I do agree that simply disagreeing with someone shouldn't work the same way.

The reasons listed are grouped as "code review" or "stack overflow", places where I would usually want to help, and having a list of pre-written mistakes to copy-paste might be usefull. But the first half of the webpage

Thnx, but my point was that if there are no outliers, there will still be values that are located more than one stdev from the average.

Are you a troll? Anyway, could you vent your conspiracy bullshit somewhere else?

by pelliphant 6y ago
My problem with this is that if you do the same thing, but remove the value 12 from the data you get 4 out of 8 values that are outside 1 stdev...

On the internet I often identify myself as "European". The reason is usually because americans seem to assume that everyone is an american, so it is to clarify that I have a non-american perspective.

Why the fuck would you use that as a source?

greenwald had a lot of credibility for sure, and I have given him the benefit of the doubt several times, but he just eroding that credibility. I would say that there isn't much of it left now...

why would any sane publication publish an unverified story that just before an election attacks the only candidate that isn't trying to dismantle democracy?

by pelliphant 6y ago
Same here... But what can you do when a large part of commenters are arguing against democracy?

Are you willing to pay them for that?
76.
by pelliphant 6y ago
I think they already do. But they have to convince management to publish important stories instead of the stories that pay their bills. Is it really that surprising that it's an uphill battle? The question we need to answer is "ho

? Sure, america isn't very democratic compared to other democracies, but what are you actually saying? That since the american democracy is already weak, it should be abandoned? Sure, more people watch some crazy person on fox rather t

I work a lot with embedded devices (arm cortex-m chips mostly), and if you download the datasheets for some chip that you think that you might be using, I would guess that the only code mentioned in it are going to be in assembler or C. Als

I would love for this to be true, but I agree, it does seem way too unlikely that no one else would have tried that password....

If I got locked out from any of my accounts for just typing in the wrong password 5 times, a few seconds apart, I would get kinda pissed.

I disagree. If everyone does it, it will more closely represent the general population. Those that would volunteer are not necessarily the ones you would want. There are always going to be a social contract, things you have to do, like payi

Why? I started working fulltime as a coder maybe 3 years ago. Before that I coded a lot on my free time, but since I started doing it fulltime at work, I did less on my spare time, and now it's basically no coding at all on my spare ti

I call bullshit on this one. America is using a two-party system, If you can't vote for one candidate, then there is practically only one option left.. So, the question here is really just: "Is the difference between the two candi

That might be the case, but to me it's not much different than saying that it is the amount of democracy that is up for debate. People who want to end democracy rarely say so, it is always just "a little less than it is now".

So, a semi-fascist government trying to undermine education is an argument against publicly available education? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/03/world/europe/soros-hungar... They already got rid

Democracy requires an educated population. If you want to live in a democratic society, then subsidizing education is pretty much a requirement.
