Great comment. I learned something about a topic I'm not very familiar with. I think it's possible that less attention is not the only reason Communism is tolerated more than Nazism. Nazism is much more inherently genocidal than C

Well then you have a judgement call on whether the behaviour is offensive. Some random fool claiming someone is dead is not offensive in my opinion.

I don't understand the test. Is every nonsense tweet supposed to be reviewed and removed? There's nothing stopping me from going to the "town square" and yapping on about how God has returned, or that Kanye West is my da

And I think the punishment part has two aspects to it. Deterrence being one, and preventing vigilantism being the second. In cases where someone is wronged, they want to see the perpetrator punished and feel like they are getting what they

A goal we can actually achieve results in the collapse of civilization. But that doesn't sell well. Not many want to take that for granted. Any better consequence than that requires very significant changes from BAU and so lots of shor

There was no credible pathway to 1.5 when it was established at COP 21 in 2015. And previous to 1.5, the big number was 1.0. It'll be interesting if the mass media push changes the focus again and starts popularizing 2.0C. Or maybe t

Anybody familiar with the Improv / Quantrix spreadsheets that he claims is 5X - 10X more productive than Excel? What's so special about them? Has that functionality found its way into Excel at this point?
