I am just taking under consideration the events at that time, i.e. an eminent fear of another Cuba situation in Latin America and the resulting fears. Castro repeated visits to Allende did symbolize this development maybe even more than the

I am not ok with that, but I am not really that surprised by it either. Considering the Arabic spring bloodshed I am not sure that even today radical systemic change can occur in a completely peaceful fashion.

You have to put this into perspective to Alende's approach: Allende's program included advancement of workers' interests, replacing the judicial system with "socialist legality", nationalization of banks and forcing others to bankruptcy, a

I absolutely agree that certain key numbers are always simplifying the complexity inherent in an economy. But it appears to the outside, that fundamentally there are no particular reasons that would make Chile any different to other Latin A

See above my clarification on "worked", but I am quite aware that these effects were "bought" with a lot of blood.

This is what I mean by worked: It leads Latin American nations in human development, competitiveness, income per capita, globalization, economic freedom, and low perception of corruption. It also ranks high regionally in sustainability of

I personally use an Android Tablet (one of these $99 HP Touchpads). It is certainly not as comfortable as one of the e-paper readers, but the added functionality is extremely useful. It is just great to not just read stuff, but work with do

Even so I usually get shunned by that opinion, I honestly believe that Chile is one of the examples where American interventionism has worked. Sure, there are a lot of question marks about the methods, but the long time effects are astonish

I wish there was a more affordable alternative to bloc.io. The idea is really great, this mentee - coach relationship should help a lot in sticking with it and having a rapid learning curve.

Not sure if I am overlooking something, but so far there is relatively little information on the project. What I could see the most potential in is in syndicating the different pictures and videos that different guests make with their own d

It's all about symbolism. People simplify, people make fast judgments, people use visual cues to make their life easier. If I walk into a job interview in a suit and a tie I get a slightly different reaction than by walking in wearing swimm

I am still a big fan of MySpace for music. If I see a listing for a band that I don't know, I just google band name+myspace, and know that I will get an instant stream. Websites make it often painfully difficult to find an instant stream, a

Not sure if I just jumped into an employee upvoting scheme, but its a nice idea. Good luck!

Funny story. But I am somewhat surprised that there is actually somebody out there who is reading these free PR distributors.

I personally find these forms of witch hunts to censor free speech absolutely disgusting. In my opinion people who support something like this, are in the same category as those who take up the forks and march against Google because of "cer

It depends on the type of community. Reddit positions itself as a platform infrastructure for a rich diversity of communities. HN has a relatively narrow approach, trying to keep discussions as focused and as on topic as possible. It is mor

Sure, I am all for removing illegal content. But I am absolutely against per-emtive attempts to censor the incredible diversity that Reddit has to offer.

by stfu 14y ago
In my opinion the issue is relatively simple. If the content is illegal, then remove it. If it is not, then it stays. It can not be the task of a platform provider to conduct an in-depth investigation on who agreed or did not agree on a pic

Excellent - happy to see Reddit supporting free speech and not giving into this mainstream media bullying campaign. I wish more platforms would abide to the rule of law and not to a hypocritical rule imposed by professionally "i am outraged

I am certainly willing to admit that I enjoy dark humor. But then again I am also willing to out myself as a regular 4chan user. In my opinion this form of dark humor/ridiculing is even necessary. It keeps society "sane", as it counter bala
