There is a small radical group that believe destroying Sweden and all Nation States and unlimited migration is the wonderful utopia of the future. Of course most of these people make very good money from NGOs who promote this idea. They are becoming very militant to try and save these ideas and want to shut down any free press and free speech because the truth is that these policies are a disaster and most rational people will admit that now.

Do not let them bully you. They have no real power and are very small but very loud and angry.

Allocating Money Across a Lifetime
The photos make it look rather bleak, but it's incredibly bright and sunny, and when we visited it seemed like a cheerful enough place.
I'm from Czech and pretty much everyone under 30 speaks fluent English. Old elementary school friends could hold a normal discussion without skipping a beat.

But boy, the second I went into the old part of my childhood town and wanted to get some food from the bakery, not a single person could understand English (which is fine because I speak fluent Czech).

I had a situation about a decade and a half ago when a french person stopped by a gas station and the clerk could not, for the life of him, communicate with the french guy but within ten minutes, a bunch of teenagers were able to translate.

So it's not just official stuff (which makes sense) but also an age and location thing like you said. If you break down on the high way, stop at an old town, or try to deal with an establishment is generally run by someone over the age of 40, you can find yourself in an uncomfortable situation.

However, I'm kind of surprised at the bank thing.
Jesus Christ, he's not saying Twitter broke the law, he's saying that the article (which is about internet groups helping candidates) ignored a number of powerful internet groups helping candidates.

I swear, every time someone brings up twitter's political censorship, there's at least one comment to the effect of "they're allowed to!" or "if you don't like it, you can leave!". Yes, everyone knows! We're talking about the morality, outcome, or effectiveness of twitter doing such a thing, not whether or not they're entitled to do it.

I would argue that cryptography wouldn't violate that aspect. The intent isn't to violate human rights or civil liberties, even though it can certainly be used that way. So too can a text editor or a printer driver or scheduling software. I think you're being a bit broad.

To me, it reads fairly clearly as a stand against code whose specific intent is unethical, not it's potential and unrelated uses.
I see, so you think Trump's attorney general pick is a good choice? That's the guy who once said the KKK was OK until they started smoking marijuana. Is the attorney general just a fringe position in the government? It'll be fun to see if this AG convinces the DEA to enforce federal marijuana laws on the states where it's legal. Fun meaning, I think there's a lot of dissonance on both sides just how much acrimony this election is going to continue to create - the nightmare isn't over, it's just started.

I'm sorry but that's just incorrect. I'm not going to provide my background info but I can say for sure that Russia is a very bad place to host now. Pre-2012 it was good but now they enforce copyright laws and pro-actively censor the internet.

For domain extensions, always go directly to the nic site if they sell directly (tonic.to, nic.is, nic.cr, vunic.vu etc) as then you don't have to rely on multiple companies - eg, if you remember, ThePirateBay had a 'hydra' of domain extensions but used the exact same registrar rather than using the direct nics so they all were suspended. As for hosting, you need both a safe country and a safe datacenter. Switzerland (Private Layer) hosts many warez sites. Looking at the hosting providers of popular torrent/warez/file host sites is always the best way to find a reliable datacenter.

The plane’s speed slowed to dangerous levels, activating the stall alarm—the one, in the words of Popular Mechanics, “designed to be impossible to ignore.” It blared the word “Stall!” 75 times. Everyone present ignored it.

Probably not:

In an article in Vanity Fair, William Langewiesche noted that once the angle of attack was so extreme, the system rejected the data as invalid and temporarily stopped the stall warnings. However, "this led to a perverse reversal that lasted nearly to the impact: each time Bonin happened to lower the nose, rendering the angle of attack marginally less severe, the stall warning sounded again—a negative reinforcement that may have locked him into his pattern of pitching up" which increased the angle of attack and thus prevented the plane from getting out of its stall.

A person could work on one of these, develop a top technical solution, and still not have their code accepted based on the organizational features and interpersonal relationships of the TCL community.

I know a bunch of fellow expats in Paris. The ones that came here with the intention of learning/improving French are usually happy. The ones that came expecting to get by with only English are absolutely miserable and hate it here. The French (rightly) regard you as an arrogant prick if you don't show that you are willing to make the effort, and they treat you accordingly.

Yes, the other places you mentioned are probably easier in this regard.

The task force staff’s backgrounds are as diverse as the community they will be engaging with and include former reporters, bloggers, public affairs specialists, designers, Ready for Hillary alumni, and Hillary super fans who have led groups similar to those with which the task force will organize.

A manifesto is not really useful unless it's enforceable. I can sign this but I'm still compelled by my employer to act as they say with the threat that I could lose my job if I disagree and they will hire someone who will do it anyway.

My employer wouldn't do that I'm sure but it's no reassurance to me or anyone else. A professional licensing organization has more weight. I would be beholden to the manifesto and would have an organization with the weight and resources to litigate if my employer tries to fire me to get around my ethical responsibilities.

Fortunately there is one such program developing in the country in which I live and I'm doing what I can to pursue the education requirements to be licensed. I believe that liability and professional responsibility are going to become necessary to develop many kinds of commercial software.

That's also my impression, having learned some languages in traditional courses and some others using Duolingo. It's not completely clear cut because there are presumably different types of learners, but yes, there are easier, cheaper, better resources than traditional courses.
It's also heavily weighted by what they want you to buy: over-stock, higher margins, last year's models.
I would be careful. I got into extreme sports (motorcycle road racing) when stress became overwhelming for me and it turned out to be a manifestation of my BPD. It was therapeutic for the reasons you give, but also because I had a death wish.

I agree. Half the country supported Clinton so labeling anyone saying anything positive about her as a CTR shill got really old real fast.

Then there was the narrative that the politics sub suddenly became more neutral after the election was over since CTR was no longer spending money, but if you check the sub now, it's still very anti-Trump, showing that the Sanders and Clinton support were organic.
Can you point to evidence of any of this?
