For starting out I'd recommend Clause and Effect by Clocksin. It's a very short but practical introduction with really good examples along the way (including symbolic differentiation and FFT).

Collectivism killed hundreds of million of people in the past century alone. This was also rationalized. Rugged individualism is much less a-social from that perspective.

You are correct about having no obligations, but as a company that is based in US and employs a large US-based workforce it benefits a lot from US itself being successful.

I'm surprised this is getting downvoted. A lot of my friends are leaving or considering leaving cities exactly for this reason. A lot of small businesses got destroyed in riots as well, and I imagine their owners would be leaving too.

On a similar note, why raised fist is not on the list? It's been used throughout the 20th century to commit atrocities on a grand scale and force tens of millions of people into labor camps. It was used to incite violence that killed

That's right, it's just a symbol that has been used historically to kill tens of millions of people, enslave many more millions, and violently steal other people property. No hate here at all, nothing to see.

More like radicalization in general. Left wing got similarly radicalized, if not more so. When everybody lives in their own bubble people get pushed to the extremes :-(

The government could start by removing hurdles to build. The amount of hassle one has to go through in California in order to build housing is staggering.

I'm building a 3d printer control display that would allow you to load/view models and control the printing process. It's currently based on Raspberry Pi, but I was looking at more powerful alternatives like Vim2/vim3 t

Hey, this looks pretty cool and something I was looking for. I’m not using Raspberry Pi however. Do you Plan to support other boards besides Raspberry Pi?

> Most local zoning is controlled by tiny opaque cabals of land owners who use all kinds of tactics to prevent participation by anyone beyond other sympathetic land owners with a vested interest in raising prices What tactics do they use

I'm struggling to see how local people influencing local politics is a bad thing. Would you prefer for remote corporations to control local politics?

Which will make housing even more scarce.

My point is that it should not be discretionary. Either apply the law universally (without taking the viability of the company into account), or lower the fines to a meaningful level.

They are accountable to their users. If a company is negligent with user data and their customers actually do care about this issue, this company will either eventually improve or go out of business. And if customers don't deem this

On the other hand, they could have bankrupted them if they wanted to. Do we really want the government to have that much say in whether businesses live or die?

You can write or buy an option on anything — it’s just a legal contract.

Taking other people money by force is even more dangerous for democracy and economy.

They were pretty consistent in their critic of polices of both GOP and democratic governments, and are usually pretty open in addressing issues in business from all sides. What do you find to be unbalanced in their reporting?

I was referring to @ucf_socialism and other similar antifa groups. Whose activities led to an actual physical harm to people and property.

I was replying to a post asking for examples of far-left extremism. Harassing people is never an acceptable form of free speech (actually a crime), just so you know.

by stass 8y ago
This is just one example. My complaint is that accounts like that stay up despite numerous reports. And Alex Jones is saint compared to these guys...

Are you saying that tweets in that picture are falsified? Or that the fact it was posted to the Donald makes it inadmissible?

So the offending tweet got deleted by twitter, but the account is still up. I scrolled through the first page and they are literally calling for doxing ICE agents right there. Pasted both pics to imgur https://m.imgur.com/

Twitter should either be banning both far left and far right extremists, or nobody. Otherwise it should be considers a media, and not an internet service and regulated as such.

We can begin here: https://tinyurl.com/y8rk9yjn I personally reported many accounts, including an antifa group that called for killing cops and white peoples to no avail. At the same time twitter bans people for sharing ne

Have you considered that it might not be a marketing campaign, but rather other people having an opinion different from your own? That unions indeed can potentially be damaging for society (and there are plenty of example of that) and it&#
