I think the one scenario that could work for Brejoin is if Labour rebranded itself as the rejoin party to stave off the threat from the Greens. The Remain contingent is lost anyways. The other side of the electorate is turned off by their w

Sure, but at that point why not shoot for full membership and be a rule-maker instead of a rule-taker?

It's not the Cuban authorities that are impoverishing Cuba, that's just victim blaming. It is American imperialism, at least stand by your crimes.

What the US is doing to Cuba and has been doing to it for the past 70 years is a horrible crime. What a lack of confidence in their own system to not allow fair competition between Cuban socialism and American capitalism. It feels similar t

I don't think we should differentiate between Kalanick and Woz. It's a simple class binary.

I did read the history books. All of that eventually ended in the Fifth Republic. You're taking too short a view of history.

While it's worrying this is being discussed, it's just that, a discussion, for now. Utah, meanwhile, has an actual law in place that makes site owners (!) responsible for their users using VPNs: https://www.tomshardware

This really resonates with me. I started CS way back in 2011, and I really miss proper engineering. I feel a deep sense of loss. Yes, I can get more done now. But the intellectual stimulation is gone. I no longer build intricate, satisfying
