The thing that makes someone a slave is that he knows that he can't leave. If someone knows that being fired means going back to his dangerous third world country, then he doesn't really have much freedom in choosing his employer. So yes, to some extent, it makes his job closer to slavery than yours.
Learning languages may not give immediate benefit to disney and friends, but it helps save a cultural heritage, helps keep humanity varied, and allows us to get more information about how people live around the world. In other words, it makes people more informed and aware, which is the opposite of what disney and friends want.
Let's say that I do get tortured and abused, and someone gets pictures of it and puts them online, say in liveleak, or even in some "well respected" news site. Who is responsible for torturing me? The one who did it? Or the jerks who hosted the pics?
Oh well, I guess I just need to learn from the conservatives and wait until they are 18, then we can have the state conscript them and forcefully send them to die.
Anonymous are attacking a hosting service that allows people to host things anonymously? Weren't these guys touted as the anti-establishment pro-freedom guys? Why does "FOR THE CHILDREN!!!" suddently the basic freedoms of all the non child abusers in the service?
If you are using gcc, you can also use the "cleanup" attribute to achieve something similar. I have a feeling that one day this will become part of the C standard.
Four years ago I got to see a fanatic religious right demonstration against refugees transforming into a horde of teenagers with broken bottles running after random black people and burning their shops. Once you get to see things like that, it really fixes your prespective. Imho, the more people are busy writing angry comments on the internet, the less people are violent in real life, which improves societyt
(btw, for those that want to know, I live in Israel, it was a demonstration led by Michael Ben Ari, and it was barely mentioned because while palestinians and jews interest the media, eritreans and sudanees do not).
Both Microsoft and Linux seem to try to constantly copy bad things from mobile. In Linux's case, it's mostly user interface, while in Windows, it's both user interface and an "app store". Why do everyone hate PCs so much nowadays? My guess is a combination of people's love for dumb machines and corporate's desire for control, but I am really not sure if this is the reason.
Aren't higher percentages harder to get when there are more people?
And your antisemitism example is correct but not the only one. That's why I feel that convincing people will usually not work, there are too many taboos. If you have criticism against feminism, you are a rapist. If you have criticism against nationalism, you are a traitor. If you have crticism against the jewish religion* , you are a nazi.
* - Believe me, I'm ethnically jewish, I live in israel, I can tell you that our religion is pretty sick and if any western country decides to abolish circumsision I'm all for it, despite the fact that it's "trying to eliminate a culture"
I don't know, I admit that it is possible we have differing views because we come from different countries. In Israel's history, when our state was more communist-like, the left censored people much more. In the 70s it began relaxing, and now it's coming back to some extent as a pale copy of US's SJW.
Regarding antifa and marxist-anarchists, I agree that you are right about them, but where I live we have "Lehava" (Flame in english) an organization that just goes in the street and randomly beats male arabs who talk with female jews. In Israel antifa is roughly 30 people and they don't really do much except for writing in facebook. Our right winger parliament is suing someone for shitting on the israeli flag and putting it on youtube.
In other words, It's a matter of which country you are. I don't know, I fail to see any difference between the right and the left in this matter. Both, when they have enough power, begin trying to shut up the opposition.
You're biased, the right is just the same and get insulted very easily. Example: I've been told by a leftist that my ideology has facist streaks, yet I continued talking with her and we discussed peacefuly why this is so and why I still think that even if it's true it might be better than hers. Many right wingers would just immediately stop the conversation and cry about how leftists are shutting them up.
I don't know, as a jew, I think that antisemitism helped antisemitists to silence jewism for many years. Sure, it did not completely exterminate it, but it managed to silent it for pretty long. I think that sometimes brutality and aggression are also pretty effective. I agree that they are harder against a larger group, but I think the same is also true for large groups. How will you manage to convince ALL of them that they are wrong?
Please explain, if reddit/twitter/facebook allowed all right wing content, how would this prevent Trump from being elected. I'm not saying that I'm for the block, I just don't think that Trump's victory is related to whether social media sites censor him or not. If he's censoerd, it's big news and helps him. If he is not censored, he can publish his opinions and it helps him. To me it looks like these two balance each other.
That's the whole point of having countries in the first place
When modern nation states first appeared, capitalism and globalism didn't yet exist, so there was no need for protection from them. I think that states in general originally appeared as a way to insutitionalize rule of law, while modern nation states appeared because of the new notion that different nations need some form of "nation individuality".
If they are taking his phone, they can read the files on his phones even more easily then they can access his private facebook posts. I understand that you like to bash facebook, but in this case, the problem is not facebook, the problem is border officers being allowed to search YOUR laptop/mobile and access YOUR files (and I bet that having an encrypted partition will just rouse more suspicion).
From what I understand, this changes reload behavior so that reload doesn't completely reload a page. Won't this break the reload behavior when testing a page you're developing and/or when browsing pages that glitched temporarily? Would we end up with a "hold shift during reload" that all tech people will use instead?
Here we agree. I don't understand what's the problem with the standard defining something like this:
#include <no_backward_compat>
GHC Haskell has something similar that forces you to specify dangerous and obsolete language features that you want to use. It can easily be applied to C++ as well. The weird thing is that I never even heard of someone offering this.
Wouldn't that be a problem for the compiler than the language?
No, because whenever you add new syntax, you have to avoid breaking compatibility with old syntax. For example, every time you add a keyword, you risk messing up code that had variable with the same name as the keyword. The same is true for language semantics imho.
A benevolent dictator could pull a Python by declaring a new version C++ that cleans up the language and is mostly backwards compatible.
And just how successful python 3 is? In every shop I worked in, they insisted on using python 2.

I was asking why does the moral panic caused by "for the children" take priority over everything else?

The whole point of git is that you have identical copy on your machine. Why take away git's biggest advantage?

People don't want freedom. People want an echo chamber.
There are different versions of SSL and TLS that have already been broken. How useful is "https only" is?

Maybe someone should program third life inside second life to get people to talk to each other
"Think of it less as a Muslim ban, and more as an American invitation. If you support America and will put America first, you will be welcome."
Empty words, unless one clearly defines them.
