I feel the same. Force by any actor for any reason should be a last resort. We have a problem with you promoting it as the "clear solution". Just think about all the voluntary actions you take throughout the day. Then someone says

I like C3, but I discovered it has some major performance issues with thousands of data points a couple months back. It has something to do with the pie chart rendering code: https://github.com/masayuki0812/c3/issu

I don't think people wanted him to fight to the bitter end and lose! PersonalAudio most likely isn't going to get one cent of what they set out to get (including what you and everyone else contributed). So in my mind, this is a pr

Only if you sign up by November, and "1.75% per swipe until January 1, 2016". It's 2.5% after that. I guess you could switch back, but by that time Amazon could have already used your data against you. No such thing as a free

You are being downvoted by the big government fans who believe that one size fits all health care policy is going to solve all our problems just like the one size fits all education policies have. They proclaim to treat science with the utm

I don't get how people can down vote my defense of free market wages and doing something in the best interest of one's family. This is not greed, downvoters; it's a recognition and appreciation for scarce resources and gettin

I never said I think I'm more important, but even if I did, how does that make me have no regard for your well being? If I'm taller than my dog, does that mean my dog has no height? Look, I'm not saying society should value

Tell me why are random strangers just as important as my family and friends? Yours, too? The onus shouldn't be on me to prove to you why I want to favor my network or ensure their security with my own hard-earned resources. It's o

Here's an example: vouchers vs. one size fits all public schools. They're not opposites; vouchers just free up resources by using market forces to prevent good money to go to bad schools.

If the poor can't afford smartphones, then they probably can't afford parking violations either, and would probably do better using subsidized public transportation than owning and maintaining a car, right?

Not sure what the benefit is. As LTE-enabled tablets and personal hotspots proliferate, it will be very easy to cover-up who made the anonymous edits. What would really be interesting are edits made from known Tor endpoints.
