Surely it's a conscious choice of companies if they don't have moderation, when ordinary streamers manage to set themselves up advanced bots? I'm not saying it's not a good idea for twitch to provide bots out of the box.

Things can be better in the past. A meme is not some piece of wisdom.

You are implying "the bad things from the past" have an objective weight. They could be insignificant, and in someone's eyes the past is truly "good".

5MB pdf file. Just had to see if there was any more context to this: >News management and opinion manipulation by itself is not necessary(sic) “evil”. It's either evil every time or none of the time.

That line is how people write when they're trying to signal something to a minority of people at the expense of the normal reader. What's really strange is the following "I'll thank them by not naming them".

I upvote things like this because it's a rare challenge that will leave everyone more enlightened. (sounds sarcastic but isn't) The internet is a utility now, and America doesn't have a variety of providers. But facebook is a

Tests are the anti-cheat device though. Or at least it's easier to keep tests honest than coursework.

>the way those results are ordered isn’t exactly organic. Alexa ranks the NYT at 120 globally; WaPo at 190. Now, what about the illustrious townhall.com, which had not one but two hits on page one? It’s ranked at 9,109. In other words, t

You made me think. Electron may have been unsatisfied with the promotional appeal of the lineup; it's like advertising Windows 10 - you show ethnic minorities, women, children using their tablet etc. But who knows whether electron ar

The article is ostensibily about explaining that technology is political, with the tacked-on truth that HN must allow more actual politics. If HN 'squelches political debate', I'm not sure if this refers to whole submissions,

One takeaway from the article (if nothing else) was to give them responsibility. I like that. Demanding something from prisoners is more likely to change them than punishment and waiting.

People aren't talking about race because the article is mainly about life inside prison, not how easily or for how long you end up in there.

It's no concept my friend. Sure, the students need nurturing. With the world each of them is surrounded by, and their own life outside school, they are bound to behave badly. But it sounds like you are saying schools shouldn't hav
