and the need to exist and maintain an online presence. It's 2017. The online and real world started overlapping in disturbing ways over a decade ago. Turn off your computer and go read some of Bruce Sterling's books. Or if you really want old fashion read up on Henry II. Pen mightier than sword and all that rot.
And not just the occasional nut job feminist running a class on Gender Studies at your local community college. Show me a government agency using the label Nazi to directly attack an opponent. Bonus points if you can do it in the United States instead of Germany (who might just be a wee bit paranoid when it comes to Nazi's resurgence).
See, this is what gets me about the right. They're absolutely enraged that somebody with no power whatsoever (a professor, a low level bureaucrat, their postman) is a whackjob and somehow blitheringly unaware of the massive power exercised by billionaires, mega pastors and all of Wallstreet. I chalk it up to the fact that they can see their English teacher giving them a 'D' or the lady at the DMV who tells them that they need to fix their catalytic converter while the billionaire and his mega pastor friends who just screwed them out of a job, health care, clear air and water and education for their kids are far, far away...
North Korea needs to oppress their population more because they don't have enough food. So there's a very real chance somebody might rouse the rabble and overthrow the government. You're not going to rouse the US rabble. You're lucky if you can get 20 neo-Nazis to show up to a rally outside the deep south. And even then you've only got as many in the south because the rampant poverty.
is $30/lb sometimes. That's insane. And I don't mean at Whole Foods or similarly overpriced places. Just regular grocery stores. It was never the cheap fish, but $30/lb is insane.
thanks to a combination of the Southern Strategy, voter suppression, good marketing and the Democrat's own right wing preventing the party from taking a stand on any economic issue that matters.
from the taxpayer and giving it to people who don't do any work. What gives you the right to tax me and make me pay so you don't have to work? That's just theft, plain and simple. But these foxconn guys? They're creating jobs. This isn't a handout, it's an investment.
Or so the argument goes. The folks who actually make it to the polls to vote might actually believe that. The folks that don't believe that horseshit generally have their vote suppressed. During the last election there were reports of 10 hour waits to vote in working class districts. Or any district that might go against the pro-corporate, pro-right wing party.
Basically we're a pretend Democracy. No different than North Korea really except we've got enough money to throw around that the worst of the poverty is kept at bay.
They were going to get bought off. The best part? It's $500k per job. It's an enormous waste. Basically more socialism for the wealthy and dog eat dog capitalism for the working class.
or that clashes with their ideology. First, that blows any hope of a common carrier defense. They're also actively ignoring veiled threats of violence (or not so veiled) so long as it's in line with the groups they want hurt.
There is no "alt-left". You're either falling for a ruse or perpetrating one. It's the same crap the Karl Rove right has been doing for decades. Take whatever negative qualities you have and accuse the other side of it. You've got a billionaire funded media machine pushing this crap on you so you ignore the real cause of your problems (rich white guys in Wallstreet). You've been had, or you're one of the ones bought and paid for astroturfing. If it's the latter, fuck you. If it's the former, please, wake up. You can't solve your problems or mine like this.
no no no no no. My God, how did you get modded up that high with such a dumbkoff idea? Where you trying for a textbook example of false equivalency?
Intent _matters_. If Firefox's primary target demographic was Nazis and other white supremacists and if it cultivated a user base of such then Google would have a damn good reason to kick them off the app store. If Firefox consistently ignored hate speech and overt incitement to violence that would also be a good reason. And if google ignored such things in the face of solid evidence then they would be complicit in the spread, growth and empowerment of Nazism. In the exact same way IBM was to their Shame.
we're talking about _actual_ Nazis. People who literally heil Hitler an fly a red flag with a Swastikas on it chanting "The Jews Will Not Replace Us!" while brandishing torches.
They can speak all they want. They got their bloody permit for Pete's sake. They didn't resort to violence. It was their first choice. That's what makes them Nazis. It's their defining characteristic. And congrats, you just sympathized with them.
by implying that what a private company chooses to host has any practical effect on Gab's free speech. It doesn't become a free speech issue until the _government_ steps in and shuts it down. And even then there are limits to speech, such as inciting violence.
Shouting "Free Speech" doesn't give you a get out of jail card from acting like an asshole. You can say whatever the hell you want. I don't have to listen to it and I don't have to help you say it.
with the 'Eco' feature can go around 500 miles on a full tank. Plus you can put gas in the trunk if you want to go further. . 300 miles make the car more convenient for commuters but it's still pretty useless if you want to go on long trips, which most people do. Talk to me when there are charging stations in the middle of nowhere in flyover states, a viable means to extend range at least 50-100 miles in a pinch and a 500 mile range. Until then we Americans aren't interested.
the Internet can be free and open without google. Just ask Richard Stallman. Gab is free to continuing running their site. And so long as Net Neutrality survives their packets get treated the same as everybody else's. What they're not free to do is continue having google host their app. That's because google also happens to have freedoms. In this case freedom of association.
Now, when the federal government or even a common carrier like the ISPs cracks down on them without cause (cause being stuff like inciting violence, which includes turning a blind eye when a significant portion of their users incite violence) we'll talk about free speech. Until then you're just blowing smoke.
With the same chips. There's not going to be anything too amazing on the hardware front. I'm less interested in what a $700 phone can do and more interested in how much performance they can squeeze one the sub $200 range. Now if 5g ever gets here I'll be interested in the high end again, especially if that's paired with better radios and new bandwidth so I don't keep going in and out of service
Is like to think we're all good enough at math to realize those few pork barrels you sited are less than a drop in the ocean for an economy as large as California. Sure, so it the Netflix tax, but it's one of many such taxes. Your going to run out of pet projects quickly when your cutting. It's why nobody bothers. But again, figuring that out requires the maths.
he hasn't decreased it in the slightest. For every person that thought "I shouldn't move to American" a dozen more think "now's my chance". Unless he actually passes laws curtailing work visa programs and immigration then he's not having the slightest effect.
Nazi's stand, above all, for solving their problems with violence. That's what make them frightening. If you're calling yourself a Nazi (like those folks in Charlottesville) you're very clearly letting everyone know that as soon as you've got some real power you will be bringing violence to bear against anyone and anything you percieve an enemy.
but at this point if you're id'ing Alt-Right you're marching with Nazis.
Here's the thing. You can't be a good Nazi, because their 'brand' is already so thoroughly tainted. The Alt-Right has become the same. You're going to have about as much luck recovering 'Alt-Right' as a brand as that 'Porch-Monkey' guy did with his t-shirt. Come up with a new name. That one's taken.
everybody gets tired, has off days, etc, etc. There's over 6 billion of us on this planet. A large software project will have hundreds of users. Mistakes are going to happen. A software versioning tool should never delete all record of code unless the user goes through multiple prompts and hoops. It's astonishingly bad design.
I think we're way too quick to blame the user (in everything, not just software). Reminds me of Toyota's sudden acceleration problem. People blamed stupid old people for years until a young guy with a manual transmission had happen to him and limped it into the dealer while it was doing it. Toyota was finally forced to admit the caused the problem and fix it.
on the rich. The government still needs money to run. And despite what the rich's media outlets tell you there's no magic 'government waste' to cut that makes the need for taxes go away. So you either start cutting essential services (fixing roads, police, fire dept, etc. Not listing schools, we already cut those) or you come up with taxes like these that target the working class.
The Working Class are the only ones with any money that don't have multi-billion dollar media empires and lobbying arms sticking up for them. The used to, we called those 'Unions' an shut them down because they got a little corrupt and so instead of fixing them we threw baby out with bathwater.
that's where they screwed up. Funny thing is Atari probably could have got a lock on brick breaker games if they'd set precedent early enough (Namco/Atari won the KC Munchkin case as I recall).
Jokes aside, at least in the US nothing's going to change unless our electoral system does. Right now about 55,000 coal miners in swing states are holding our national elections hostage trying to hold onto jobs made increasingly irrelevant by fracking and cheap natural gas... With our electoral system it doesn't matter how you vote because we don't weigh each person's vote equally. Which was after all the entire point. It keeps change to a minimum and protects landowner's interests.

like "Only when an arrogant woman with 20 years of bad press and only one real skill (keeping her rivals at bay for 8 years) is the opponent.".
Seriously, they were both running against the only person they could lose to.
