The argument isn't against individuals, or even corporations, having the freedom to deny service. The argument is about monopolies, or in the case of Parler: colluding monopolies, being able to do so. There are two things everyone know

Them having margins in no way means it's a waste of money. That's not how things work. It would cost just companies so much more money for the devops team needed to achieve parity with the services they provide. Do you look at a c

They're fundamentally stored as and operated on in different ways. A BigInt does suddenly become a BigInt when in excess of MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, it's a BigInt even with a value of 1n.

I don't understand how I was arguing with a strawman, when your entire argument is explaining WHY the left is illiberal. I said that the illiberal left differs from liberals in that they don't, for example, find color-blindness to

It's 5:00am here, and I haven't slept yet, so I'm not going to do a great job of clarifying my point. > This is again some kind of whitewashing the history where Europeans seem to have invented everything and nothing ever

I can't help but notice that many of the same people eager to point out that western civilization isn't the first or best to do a particular set of things, are then reluctant to place blame for any of the less than palatable eleme

I think without actually getting into the 10x debate regarding engineers, we can all agree that there are definitely 10x comedians.

Literally nobody says that free markets solve all problems. Also, nothing does. Lastly, homelessness is WAAAAAY more complicated than markets simply having failed these people. It's also way more complicated than saying that our social

I think anything that does a controlled, specific, and consistent behavior is typically much easier to use in an experiment or utility. A laser is like a log statement for light.

And what about when those web properties are monopolies? What about when those monopolies regularly collude in broad daylight so as to lock out persons and companies from being able to host products in marketplaces, infrastructure, and even

Ya, we know. It's just that the people capable of extrapolating understand that those in charge of this "fascist" label are exactly the people least interested in its usage in good faith. Free speech isn't a utopian idea

I like it, but it spazzes out pretty frequently for me on MBP and suddenly draws lines through my design towards the center.

I don't use Parler, but this is nuts. AWS, Google, Apple, Twitter are private (sector) businesses, and it's fine for them to do what they want. That being said, there are two issues here. One, is that even the staunchest free mark

Your school sounds like the sort of place that would select for well behaved children whose parents had the ability and wherewithal to select a progressive school. I don't think policies like that work in schools filled to the brim wit
