How are you reaching those conclusions? If I recall history correctly 1 & 3 were the products of a generations class warfare and more than one massacre at the hands of industrialists. The labor movement rose in hand with the industrial

>"The irony is that the far right have long called for the British government to take firm control of our borders. Now they are doing just that." That is actually pretty funny.

Which exact crime are you alleging, specifically? Plenty of short sellers investigate companies and their products and make investment decisions based on their findings.

I wonder if the unusually short disclosure process was related to their disclosure of related financial interests. If it was, it’d seem that this research was in support of a financial play similar to how Muddy Waters shorted St. Jude Medic

I’m much the same and I always feel odd trying to answer that question. I learned programming by immersing myself in the subject and trying and reading and talking about as much as I could. There was never a magic bullet, besides the fact t

I’ve been fascinated by OSINT recently, not least for the amazing journalism bellingcat produces. Their investigations into Russian attack on MH17 and the coup attempt in turkey have both been some of the best journalism I’ve read.

Also recently finished this book as well, and it convinced me the web is secured by popsicle sticks and glue and I’m in wonder as to why everything isn’t hacked all the time.

Your analysis makes sense but I think it’s too simplistic. Specifically, I think the economic costs are borne by the taxpayers as opposed to people planning prisons, and rather obliquely at that. I’m not sure a prison is motivated to be fis

You seem to be making several different points here, so lets unpack your claims. >Voter ID laws themselves were not declared unconstitutional, the extra actions by the Republicans were. Wrong, North Carolina's Voter ID laws were dec

I don’t think i understand your viewpoint, please help me. In my view, the simple fact that North Carolina has a minority party that has an absolute veto proof majority is in itself incompatible with democracy. Even though places like North

Again I’m just not seeing any engagement with actual data beyond - “I don’t like this study so obviously it’s flawed and you must agree with me because fairness.” I’ll put it more simply, again. North Carolina has an electoral system that g

It’s odd and telling to me that you criticize the repeal of voter ID laws without actually mentioning why they were declared unconstitutional. They were repealed after North Carolina Republicans were shown in court to have investigated the

I don’t understand the legitimacy of the criticisms that this article is leveling at the former. I can’t tell why it’s saying anything more than “I don’t like this study therefore it’s wrong and stupid and dangerous.” As it stands now, Nort

You don’t see any logical inconsistency in saying that being paid by Putin doesn’t imply that Assange works for him? Besides the fact that I see quite a difference between RT and the other outlets you’ve mentioned (I don’t remember multiple

The best you can get is an organization that has a consistent and clear bias, which NPR has - also why people like BBC and the Economist. Additionally, I’d caution against extrapolating NPR’s journalistic bias by their podcasts - it’s a pod

Partially. Like all other politicians, I think his personal ambitions dovetailed with his ideology and the direction of his era. I think his detractors often confuse his attitudes towards class with those towards race, and his character. He
