Text message. Just text them. You can send funny pictures. You can have group chats. You get all of this as part of your unlimited texting plan that's probably laying fallow.

If you do not divide people, then they may get together to create a tower and become gods themselves. The media has to divide, but can't come out overtly in the process. They have do it subtly. Little digs like this remind us all that

Go doesn’t need a VM. That’s key. You get good concurrency with an easy to deploy binary that can target the major chips.

I've been pulled over once (surrounded by 6 cop cars at a later date because I think they were bored). I was told by mother to let the office leave first. I sat. I waited as a white man in my white Honda Civic with a parking permit to

Generally not. Unfortunately civil forfeiture is a thing. There are many stories, frankly 1 is more than enough, where people are driving with cash because either they, or their business partner, prefers/only-can-take cash. The police

If we're sticking to the topic of NATO, I'd love to leave it. I have no desire to keep the EU free. They've stepped up to say they are their own unified power equal to the US. Let them defend themselves. The US has a natural

If you assume the status quo for all of those items mentioned are good, then perhaps, yes the US is leaving its role. If you assume that most of those are bad (except in the case of PRK), the the US is asserting its role. Take the PRK. Will

Australia has a very high cost of living. Look at the cost of power.

I agree with the general thesis that many different forms of censorship occur in the West. I agree that the Left tends to use political correctness as it’s means to make people fear being called a bigot. However no one illegally won an elec

This can have a chilling affect on content creation, and thus the dissemination of ideas. YouTube will have to create a filter that covers their liability. They might be able to automate, but it depends on the jurisdiction. For example, the

Would you not want to ban slavery? Do you want to keep these scientifically created children in their chains as the OP suggested they were in? You monster!

My issue is that people make absolutist arguments. They get high and mighty about something they think is True. They then attempt by force of law or culture to make others act within their world view.

Yes. Ethics is nothing more than an arbitrary complex of rules which seek an arbitrary end. The degree to which the individual approximates the system defines how ethical they are.

Why do you say it's wrong? Wantonly killing a rapist is wrong? Wantonly killing a person in direct competition to resources is wrong? How are you proving any of this? Nature doesn't show that. There are many species that survive u

Then we shouldn't allow gays to breed with lesbians to create a timeshare child. The same is true that the US should have actively stopped the intermarriage of blacks and whites for the same reason. India needs to stop the procreation

1) Manspreading and mansplaining are two light examples of calling for male harm. Add to this many of the SJW's call for safe space where white males are banded. 2) There is the war against boys. The whole thing comes down to maleness

I know you were playing devil's advocate, but that argument can be said of any child. It's functionally slavery to be born in Africa since the living conditions are terrible. It's functionally slavery to conceive a black chil

Here's an interesting thing I've seen from people making such claims. Yes they are bigots even if they say, "What you're doing is wrong, but I'll let you be (aside from denouncing the behavior)". This is actual

Nope. There is no such thing as morality apart from God. The universe doesn't care (it can't). All morality then is man made. To say something is morally wrong is to create an absolute. No one has the power to do so. The best you

What I don't understand, and you may say that it's the intrenched powers keeping the status quo, is why the US picks such poor implementations of certain ideas. The article mentions low collective bargaining. Our model, as an Amer

I'm thinking about this too. My vague understanding is that such a practice won't help. The law covers Europeans on vacation/traveling to the US. You'd basically need one of those cookie popups saying, "I solemnly s

The issue is you’re maintaining a tax on a purchase after it’s purchased. It’s perpetual sales tax. If we can tax in over ways, why create a specific instance for this kind of tax?

While most want to live in a society that provides some base level of features, we have huge difference of opinion of what that is. For example, police. If you legalized all drugs, you'd not need as many as you have. You could save mon

No, we cannot allow that. We have to allow the state to have absolute power to make poor decisions and then force everyone to conform to those poor decisions. Look at SF. The right answer is to for old people that bought into the town durin

We know about the downsides now. For example, the New York system was private and actually paid for itself. New York subsidized the system. Now it's inefficient, poorly maintained, and expensive due to excessive salaries. https:/

I've seen the "move to slow" argument bandied about here all the time. The all modern 3GL languages support fast development (they might need some help with code gen). Twitter suffered language level scaling issues. Period. T
