Venezuela is not in Sweden. Neither is the former Soviet Union. Are you denying that Sweden is a successful left-wing (at least by US standards), socialist (self-identified as such, a different meaning from economic socialism), democracy?
If you want to be technical about it, people in the National Socialist German Workers' Party did not call themselves Nazis, since that was a derogatory name applied by their political enemies. They called themselves National Socialists. However, there are people nowadays who consider themselves "Nazis", and do self-identify with the name. "Nazi" is applicable to all self-identified Nazis or National Socialists.
To be honest, I'm not real keen on closed-source/proprietary software written in any other country for certain government purposes. Some countries like Russia are more suspect, since we have greater reason to believe in government intervention, but none are above suspicion.
Speaking for the left wing, we don't like countries like Russia, with its crony capitalism, its authoritarianism, and its lack of respect for human rights. We do tend to dislike certain kinds of confrontation, and excessive military spending, but that's orthogonal to whether we like a country or not.
When we were looking at moving off the TRS-80 Model 4, I looked at Macs, Ataris, and Amigas. My memory is that I could justify spending the money for the Mac, but the other two were out of our budget.
There has usually (maybe always) been tension between the Legislative and Executive branches, and I think the Founders might well have intended that. The Judicial branch is supposed to decide what's legit and what's overreaching, not random internet commentators.
As a leftist, having Trump rescind many of those EOs is bad for the country, but not normally executive overreach. The FCC may or may not have overreached; I don't know enough of the relevant law to say.
China has performed the remarkable feat of retaining it's low cost low quality manufacturing base at the same time as building a very competitive high quality manufacturing sector.
China is really really big, and is advancing as fast as it can. This means that advancement is necessarily very uneven, and if a tenth of the population is up for high quality manufacturing that's as many people as most countries. As advancement evens out, the low cost manufacturing will continue to go to cheaper areas like much of Africa.
We already have screening tests that aren't real accurate but serve to find people more likely to have some problem. Are there many lawsuits over mistakes in screening tests? My wife went through a screening test that showed (inaccurately) that she had Hepatitis C, and nobody ever mentioned a lawsuit.
Excuse me, I personally know two people who bought Tesla cars. That's very clear evidence that Tesla delivered at least two cars. I can find other references to people in physical possession of Tesla cars, so it's more than two deliveries.
Clearly we shouldn't take IT advice from Clinton, or the people she hired.
However, as we know, some 2016 Presidential candidates were outrageous liars, so I'm not real impressed by what they said. I don't remember where Huckabee fell on the honesty scale.
Obviously, prosecuting bona fide whistleblowers is wrong, and Obama should not have done that. I don't see how it relates here, though.
The Wikipedia list includes Sanders as the sole person in the US Federal government. It also listed a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and a city council member in Seattle. All other US references were people who are not listed as being elected to anything. That list suggests that Democratic Socialists really don't get elected much in the US.
One reason Sanders was preferred to Clinton was the right-wing smear machine, which had been very active against Clinton. There wasn't much more it could do to her. Sanders would have had to face that.
Why don't you read a history book and find out how it worked in practice? You're claiming that Islam is inherently bad, and ignoring the times when it wasn't.
You do know that the standard practice for an invading Muslim army is to give the conquered people 3 options: convert, die, or become a slave.
Which completely fails to explain long periods in which people of different religions did quite well in Muslim lands. There could be a special tax for non-Muslims, but Muslims were required to be charitable (it's one of the Five Pillars of Islam), so I don't know how that worked out.
If it is in the Qu'ran, you should be able to cite it without going to an anti-Muslim site.
As someone who supported Sanders during the nominating process, you're wrong. Clinton is the victim of vicious smear campaigns that spanned decades. Sanders was not. If he'd gotten the nomination, you would have seen the smear machine gear up big-time, and the fact that he describes himself as socialist would likely have doomed his candidacy.
I supported him because I wanted to show more support for his policies and try to nudge the Democrats to the left.
I'm a leftist, and I don't see that dangerously left-leaning media you do. It tends to be well to the right of me.
And where the hell do you get your facts? The current mass media makes an attempt to stay reliable. It isn't great, and it never has been, but it's usually pretty good on getting facts straight. (I can't say the same for interpretations and selection of facts, having been on the other side of mainstream journalism on a few occasions.) It beats the hell out of finding a site that is comfortable for your political views and relying on that.
So, you didn't actually investigate the mountain of evidence, you merely attempted to discredit the alternative media outlet that's shouting the truth.
Heck, I'm a leftist and I take the Huffington Post with some serious salt, and that's not alternative. There's plenty of right-wing liars around, and all you've said is that this obviously right-wing source I've never heard of has a mountain of evidence. It seems more likely to me that it's a mountain of lies, and I've become tired of trying to deal with right-wing lies.

Linus said he liked naming his software after himself, hence Linux and Git.

Apple wrote MacOS for Pascal and published Pascal interfaces. C interfaces came later. I'd expect all the HLL part of the Lisa OS to be Pascal.

I'm waiting for Mueller to finish investigating before talking about quantity of evidence.
Infosys is currently hiring US people. They're opening an office in Indianapolis. The pay's not bad for entry-level in Indianapolis.

Or throw in a patient with known cancer now and then, to raise the positive rate.

If you like counting money etc. as a minor hobby, sure. However, that is time you're not doing anything else.
Well, yes. The US is not a Christian nation, although most of its citizens have normally been Christians. Have we been in violent agreement?
