Obviously I'm expecting a quote from him giving that message not the exact words you used.
So again do you have any evidence?
"we do not always live up to the responsibility we have towards society. Irresponsible behaviour is tainting the image of our industry and puts society at risk." - we includes himself obviously, that's the meaning of the damn word after all. So there's some evidence of the exact opposite of you made up shit (no evidence so far, so I'll take that side of the or for now).
That would remove the directory itself, which rm -rf "$STEAMROOT"/* would not. And of course any.* files in that directory.
rm -rf "$STEAMROOT"
would be the equivalent of your command, no need for the if exists since "rm -rf" is a no-op (the -f will surpress the missing operand error).
But yes I can't imagine every doing a "remove this entire tree" without checking that the tree is what you think it is. Better to skip unknown directories/files within that directory really and leave those (and the parent) be - though that is significantly more difficult and thus bug prone (harder to make a bigger bug than this one though).
And yes as defined by the early communist theorists communism a process made inevitable by capitalism. Wikipedia manages to get it right, it really can't be that hard...
What has been observed in the real world is irrelevant. Communism is a theory, that is has been proven bunk doesn't change the details of the theory.
The Copernican model of the solar system is also wrong, that doesn't make definitions about it "deeply flawed" - they're just clearly incorrect models of the reality, but that doesn't mean you get to pretend they claim whatever you like.
Do you know what a dictionary is? Hint: they describe the meaning of words as they are used in general language. In other words they give the common meanings of words in the language in question - and hence reflect he successful propaganda mentioned.
Try an economics reference, if you want the actual meaning of the term rather than the common non-technical usage.
You'll also find incorrect definitions in the dictionary for technical terms in other fields, because surprise surprise, common usage of words doesn't always match their specific meanings in specific fields.
Here's Lenin:
From the moment all members of society, or at least the vast majority, have learned to administer the state themselves, have taken this work into their own hands, have organized control over the insignificant capitalist minority, over the gentry who wish to preserve their capitalist habits and over the workers who have been thoroughly corrupted by capitalism--from this moment the need for government of any kind begins to disappear altogether. The more complete the democracy, the nearer the moment when it becomes unnecessary. The more democratic the “state” which consists of the armed workers, and which is "no longer a state in the proper sense of the word", the more rapidly every form of state begins to wither away.
For when all have learned to administer and actually to independently administer social production, independently keep accounts and exercise control over the parasites, the sons of the wealthy, the swindlers and other "guardians of capitalist traditions", the escape from this popular accounting and control will inevitably become so incredibly difficult, such a rare exception, and will probably be accompanied by such swift and severe punishment (for the armed workers are practical men and not sentimental intellectuals, and they scarcely allow anyone to trifle with them), that the necessity of observing the simple, fundamental rules of the community will very soon become a habit.
Then the door will be thrown wide open for the transition from the first phase of communist society to its higher phase, and with it to the complete withering away of the state.
Engels:
When, at last, it becomes the real representative of the whole of society, it renders itself unnecessary. As soon as there is no longer any social class to be held in subjection; as soon as class rule, and the individual struggle for existence based upon our present anarchy in production, with the collisions and excesses arising from these, are removed, nothing more remains to be repressed, and a special repressive force, a State, is no longer necessary. The first act by virtue of which the State really constitutes itself the representative of the whole of society — the taking possession of the means of production in the name of society — this is, at the same time, its last independent act as a State. State interference in social relations becomes, in one domain after another, superfluous, and then dies out of itself; the government of persons is replaced by the administration of things, and by the conduct of processes of production. The State is not "abolished". It dies out. This gives the measure of the value of the phrase: "a free State", both as to its justifiable use at times by agitators, and as to its ultimate scientific inefficiency; and also of the demands of the so-called anarchists for the abolition of the State out of hand.
Communism was really described as a process, the inevitable result of the industrial revolution and capitalism. The end of which was a society without a State. Clearly the theory was a tad flawed - it didn't take into account the reforms of worker conditions under capitalism that made it not so inevitable after all being the obvious truck sized hole. But "communism" is not "government control of productive capacity" - that's a step in the process, one that is supposed to be destroy itself.
The US is already mired in enormous debt, and everyone knows that so it's hardly news. It's certainly irrelevant to the question of whether China is making bad infrastructure investments.
Say the US goes bust tomorrow. And either renegs on all it's bonds or instantly prints virtual dollars to pay them of. What does China's foreign reserves look like then?
And which do you think is more useful when the shit does hit the fan and the country is bankrupt. A big tunnel to transport the stuff you no longer have? Or weapons that make it easier to simply steal what you want from elsewhere?
Those police fight tooth and nail against that organizational change.
Now sure a bunch of them are likely fear repercussions - but again they volunteered for the job of removing such people from society. They have a badge, courts tend to take them at their word - they expect the rest of us who have neither of those things to solve the problem while they cower in fear of repercussions? Again, they signed up for this very job. You declared "All humans who let bad humans stay (in society) are themselves bad humans. Which includes you" but police aren't bad when they don't do that exact job they signed up for???
Just look at the NYPD and their tantruming reaction to a mayor who dares tell them they shouldn't be stopping and frisking every black person they see, and maybe could they choke less people to death.
And yes 97% is probably an exaggeration. Those of us who are la abiding only care about the bad cops - they are the ones who can end our lives (figuratively or literally) on a whim. Common sense says to treat all cops as if they are in that category since you don't want to get it wrong the other way.
Nope. We found this thing called specialization a while ago now.
So society allocates different tasks to different people. And the police are the ones to which we allocate the first step of removing those whom we have decided don't belong in society. And we give them powers that the rest of us don't get to exercise in order to do that task. Which is why it's especially bad when they turn a blind eye to the bad cops who abuse those very powers.
He would not have an "incredibly huge advantage", he'll be able to break even over time (ignoring a rake...), but that's all - well I'm assuming the claim being made is actually valid.
Referencing the law as an example of "sanity" does not help your case. Yes laws are not sane, we all know that.
post since 12:01-12:59 are all PM, making noon also be 12:00 PM is unambiguous and simple and everyone knows what it means. No one cares what AM and PM actually stands for, as evidenced by you pretending to care and getting it wrong anyway.
Sane people don't care about such ridiculous restrictions.
If it makes you feel better you can just read 12 PM and 12:00:00.0000000001 PM if you like - which should also show the idiocy of the restriction in the first place.
But once you have the infrastructure setup you can be in the situation where you lose less money if you keep on producing - when you have fixed costs that still have to paid even if you produce nothing.
"Sanitizing food" are you intentionally being deceptive or just being dumb. What is sanitized is the equipment used in the processing of food. Just because I clean the kitchen bench with bleach doesn't mean you should wash your apple with it, for fuck sake.
And sure some of those chemicals are benign, which is surely what you would expect if you aren't a complete moron. Obviously the industry is going to list all the benign stuff.

Landing your rocket on a fuel depot. Of course not! What could possibly go wrong? :)

It obviously means "assume one backup is bad". Backup media fails too after all.
Sure that's not enough for a silver bullet. But can you really not understand that simple statement (you don't have to agree of course)?
Because the claim was "they're probably MORE evil" which is a relative claim and hence "they do it too" is in fact a valid argument.
It's amazing how you manage to take obvious platitudes and come across as a complete fuckwad. Congratulations, that's quite a talent.
It should be obvious from the statement itself. Unless you think that would somehow improve China's reserves, but clearly you don't so why ask?
I didn't "complain" of propaganda.

Which is approximately 97% of them.
Still zero murders. Non-zero attempted murders I guess. So Islamic nutters are more competent than christian nutters?
There is no other way to read it.
Because you can't tell what is in their hand. If you could then their play isn't "perfect" since there's a strategy that can exploit it.

23:59:60 != 00:00:00 is the point.
It's an extra second inserted between 23:59:59 and 00:00:00. During that extra second the clock reads 23:59:60.
