Killing millions of people because of their ancestry is even more right wing than e.g. not giving them equal votes,
Well, yes: that's the ideology of national socialists, and American progressives.
The right wing consists of theocrats, monarchists, libertarians, and free market types, and those ideologies generally don't advocated killing or subjugating anybody because of their ancestry or discriminating based on race or ancestry.
More than 40% of US voters didn't vote at all. Overall, "20% of US voted for Hillary". About "80% of US didn't vote for Hillary", and about "70% of voters didn't vote for Hillary".
In fact, Hillary got more voters.
Sure she did: if we had voted by popular vote, Democrats could consistently win by giving special handouts to the populations of LA and NYC. Fortunately, we don't.
Dearest, I'm telling you about the way that Democrats are using the term today.
The only people who think that Alt-Right refers to anyone who "didn't vote for hillary" are people who are extremely deluded.
That's the way Democrats are using the term.
Trying to change the definition of terms is a tactic favoured by extremists in an attempt to disguise what is ultimately a very distasteful philosophy to most people.
I can only speak for myself but from my experience and point of view, the alt-right and alt-left appear to be the extremes of both groups
There is no "alt-left"; the left is what it has always been: socialists, progressives, fascists, and communists (and don't bother trying to argue that fascists aren't leftists, they are).
The "alt-right" is simply a term invented by leftists for people who aren't willing to go along with the Washington elites. That includes a huge number of moderates, independents, and politically disaffected. It also includes a tiny number of irrelevant fools running around with Nazi insignia, which left wing strategists seize on to tar everybody who doesn't support them as a Nazi.
Well, the definition of "alt-right" is evidently "anybody who didn't vote for Hillary". That's because in the minds of Democrats, Trump was so awful that even decent Republicans should have come around and voted for her, as much of the Republican establishment and conservative dutifully did.
Of course, that makes about 3/4 of US voters "alt-right".
Good luck trying to win the next election, Democrats or establishment Republicans!
The company has already been working with outside fact-checkers like Snopes and the AP to flag inaccurate news stories. (These aren't supposed to be stories that are disputed for reasons of opinion or partisanship, but rather outright hoaxes and lies.)
The effort took less than a month and resulted in positive match.
Yes, and nobody knows what the false positive or false negative rates are. Stylometry is not a reliable way of identifying people, and it is quite disturbing that people pretend it is.
This is just as bad as the lie detector scam. The real objective of such announcements it to create fear and doubt among the population; they want to be able to bully suspects into saying "come on, admit you're guilty, stylometry/lie detectors already prove it, but we'll give you a lighter sentence if you cooperate".
Oh, please, let it go to Meg Whitman! Let Meg Whitman demonstrate how female power can transform an evil, hated corporate empire into a loving, kind, progressive transportation company! Please! Let her do for Uber what she has done to, I mean for, HP!
The problem with PowerShell is in its basic design. Merging an embeddable scripting language and a shell is just a lousy idea. How do we know that? Because people in the UNIX world have tried it for decades and it failed every single time. It failed because, among many other problems, securing such a thing is really hard, as Microsoft is discovering. It also failed because creating such a Swiss army knife of a tool means that each individual function just isn't very well supported, and that simple things get more complex than they need to be.
I don't know if you've ever worked in a place that had an "acting" director or manager, but if you did, you'd know that means "placeholder". Elaine Duke is a placeholder.
I think we have firmly established that you have been lying, lying, and lying again.
And what kind of a name is "Duke", anyway? Is she related to the famous Trump supporter and head of the KKK David Duke by any chance?
Things captured millenia ago were also captured centuries ago, only more of them.
The article says "took carbon dioxide from the atmosphere centuries ago" which I summarized as "captured centuries ago". Sorry, that's unambiguous and cannot refer to your interpretation.
But most importantly, more people know what a century is than a millenium.
Are you having a stroke? In any case, if you're trying to say that the term "centuries" can also refer to a small number of millennia, you are correct. Given climate history, however, that makes the statement of the article even more incongruous.
"Libertarian choices that champion short-term liberty ultimately result in permanent losses of freedom."
That's probably because the only thing that a free society can logically be replaced by is an unfree society. But that's like saying that health "results in" disease, because everybody who is healthy sooner or later becomes sick and dies. Liberty no more causes loss of freedom than health causes disease.
Progressives and socialists do get something else right: they observe correctly that liberty leads to inequality. What they don't realize is that societal wealth, liberty, and inequality are inextricably linked: if you try to reduce inequality, you necessarily reduce societal wealth and liberty along with it, and by "reducing societal wealth", I mean "making everybody poorer".
A category 4 hurricane just hit the Texas coast and our President still hasn't appointed anyone to head the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, or any of the agencies that deal with hurricanes.
Long was confirmed as FEMA administrator by the Senate in June, just a few months ago, but he is not exactly a stranger to the agency. He was a regional manager there during the George W. Bush administration, and he went on to serve as Alabama's emergency management director.
As for DHS, Trump got both Kelly and Duke confirmed; Kelly has taken on a new role and Duke is acting director until a new nomination. You know, as it should be.
Starting just a few feet below the surface and extending tens or even hundreds of feet down, it contains vast amounts of carbon in organic matter -- plants that took carbon dioxide from the atmosphere centuries ago, died and froze before they could decompose.
So, this carbon was captured only "centuries ago", yet its release back into the atmosphere is going to lead to unprecedented global warming that is going to destroy civilization, wipe out humanity, and maybe end higher life on the planet?
There are some web sites I just don't want to see, not in search results, not in links, not in stories. I'd like a way of permanently banning them from my browser. How about supporting that in a way that's easier than the hodgepodge of extensions I need to make that happen right now?
Apple doesn't get a dime from the state. Zero. Zilch. Nor do Iowa tax payers lose or spend a dime on this deal. What the state promises is to temporarily not take as much money from Apple as they ordinarily would.
Having said that, I think these special tax deals should be made illegal. They are utterly corrupt and unfair. Businesses in a state should be taxed uniformly, period. If Apple isn't willing to move to Iowa at Iowa's regular tax rates, then Iowa either needs to live with that, or it needs to lower taxes for all businesses uniformly.

Oh, you're so right. Just read Alinsky.

No, I made a cynical remark about the bigotry and ignorance of Democrats. You fit right in with them.

Ah, yes, the usual leftists "US leftists are European right-wingers" trope.
Which is it? Are you too ignorant of politics to recognize this as false, or are you deliberately spreading this lie to advance a cause?
A bit of unintentional humor there, I see.
If you don't like working for Google, presumably you also wouldn't like working for Twitter or Facebook. So people may simply not care.
Which is he? A technical wiz? A good manager? They have rather different requirements.

I think we have firmly established that you have been lying, lying, and lying again.
You tell me: you're the fascist.
We aren't "claiming victim status", we are expressing our disgust at the violence and intolerance of the American left.
And, of course, "the American left" includes both the fascists and the anti-fascists.
As I was saying: As for DHS, Trump got both Kelly and Duke confirmed
Elaine Duke is the confirmed undersecretary, not a "placeholder".

As usual, you are either uninformed or simply lying:

Somebody needs to get their stories straight.

Great slogan: "Vote for Cook/Zuckerberg: all the personality and ineptitude of Trump, combined with all the lousy policies of Hillary Clinton!"
How could that not be a winning ticket?

So, how is open sourcing .NET 2.0 a case of "embrace and extend"? How does that lead to "extinguishing" Linux?
As a long time UNIX user, I find the idea that BSD, macOS, CDE, or NeWS represent "the UNIX way" ridiculous.
