The problem is that large portions of the alt-right ideology goes outside of politics into racism, misogyny, and harassment and it makes sense to keep a community with those traits under close surveillance. My view on the alt right is that

My main thing about source code and scientific papers is that it would just be so easy to release the source code along with the paper. Even if people don't reproduce work source code would often help to understand it as often I'm

I've lived on the Midwest pretty much my whole life and Illinois and Minnesota are generally Democrat states with large city populations. The other state I've lived in, Iowa, historically has been pretty tolerant (but that is chan

I think everyone should have rights but him being American is significant because most people's impression is that as an American the right to a lawyer is protected by the Bill of Rights to our Constitution and Americans take any viola

In this case the partisan cause is likely "have as many people be able to vote as possible". This is partisan because most people who get unintentionally disenfranchised are Democrats but the increase to franchise definitely does

She does in the winter but that's not really the same, though. My point was that these things can be really important to people. It might not be enough to base policy decisions on but it's a real concern

I actually can understand this. I would be fine living in a cave but my girlfriend loves sun and plants so if the house was overshadowed that would actually be a big deal. Lack of sun even really effects her mood a lot.

If the universities pay the tuition to grad students then it will skyrocket the student's taxes, which is literally their complaint about the whole thing.

I'm no expert either but my girlfriend works at a vet clinic (and is applying to animal behaviour PhD programs) and my impression from talking to the vets is that most dogs are very food motivated but they are also highly social. If yo

It wouldn't be Canonical adding this, it would be whoever is selling you the actual computer adding telemetry. There's nothing stopping HP from adding telemetry any Linux distro if they were selling it.

I notice chrome having these issues if I'm running out of memory or if another program is trying to read from the hard drive at the same time.

This isn't unique at all to Windows. Android had similar problems and if Linux desktop ever caught on the same thing would happen to people.

They don't do targeted pricing as far as I know but I thought they have been doing the targeted marketing with your purchasing history for a couple decades already. They already have your info from your credit cards

Maybe I misunderstood the point of your comment but I'm not trying to argue that reading is good for you (which I personally believe), just that it isn't bad for you and I'm not aware of any controversy around that latter poi

The issue is that social media is bad for mental health. That means that excessive social media time can be a problem and is more objectionable that reading a book and likely also worse than watching TV or playing video games. I think if ev

It seems better to just have an actually progressive tax system. Effective tax rates on the rich are really low in the US right now. If there is an income limit there really is no incentive to make any more money so a progressive tax will p

My impression is that making everything formally verified is a lot of work and it would be very hard to make formally verified code as easy to write as non-verified code.

There's also a similar amount of stories (or honestly probably greater with all the frauds, hacks, and drug deals) where bitcoin has done bad things but I guess that also proves the point that it has changed the world.

I don't think facts themselves are ever really the issue. My opinion is that in how they cherry-pick facts and events to highlight there is an implicit generalization about a group, and I object to that generalization, not the facts th

It's hard because people will always be mad when their stuff gets taken down and it's hard to tell where the line is. A good example on reddit is that r/the_Donald is often very racist, islamophobic, and misogynistic (and it&

Yeah, automation will reduce jobs in the space that it's automating. It would be pretty absurd if it didn't reduce the number of jobs for that situation. The thing is that automation in one space increases jobs across the economy.
