Trump's comments were clearly regarding the protesters at the original rally (as he mentions the violence), not people who came later. Every protester on the right was a neo-Nazi or complicit in marching with neo-Nazis. The rally expli

I think we agree. Slippery slope arguments are valid if 1) there is no demarcated line ("extingent circumstances") or 2) there is a demarcated line, and there is good justification for why that line might change. Legalizing gay ma

SciHub is ultimately helping people violate copyright laws. I personally think that science should have more open access, and I assume that many who work at these payment processors share my sentiment. But I think payment processors want to

A few years ago Herb Sutter proposed Python-like metaclasses in C++ through compile-time code generation. Not sure if anything has been proposed for general use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AfRAVcThyA

When leftists say "exploit," it's because they regard paying workers less than the marginal value they produce with labor exploitative. (Cf. boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.) They claim that it's unfair that that prod

You have to pay taxes in USD. Not being thrown in jail is value... maybe not intrinsic though. USD in paper form can also be burned for warmth, or used to write on. In coin form, it has the same intrinsic value as the metal.
