More like: you presented a framing of the argument against austerity as purely being about tax levels, I gently mocked this. You then cited some guardian articles and reasoned that "Politicians that aim for a balanced budget without raising taxes = murderers" was a message. I replied questioning what you thought about what I took as the main message from those arguments: that govt. negligence can occur as a result of this tax policy. And now this:

"I proved that my description of these opinions was entirely accurate. You can find endless articles like that in the left wing press, or banners at protests that say exactly the same thing. This resolved the point you raised." Sure you did.

You conclusively proved that the mere existence of these arguments is offensive to you because you seem to believe that a policy such as austerity (or "tax policy"), which directly cuts the benefits that portions of the population rely on to survive, apparently has no effects and is a mere mathematical debate.

You also consistently proved that you see yourself as eminently rational and arrogantly above engaging with the arguments which are made against your world view. Given this, I'd say that your statement "Whether these articles have merit or not is irrelevant to my original point." is incorrect.
Within the context of a stable democracy founded upon a legacy of Judeo-Christian values which encourages individualism, yes this is true.

I think that's the winning combination personally.
OLTP Optimization Cheat Sheets for Dbdevs and DBAs
Here we are talking about a domain registrar, not a host. Aren't there registrars that don't issue similar threats for legal content in their jurisdiction (e.g. in the US?) Would be nice to publisize a list.

By the way, I am sure that large web sites like Dropbox or Twitter have actually illegal content, but their registrar obviously doesn't threaten them.

"migrating applications" -- you'd be shocked at how unix software tends to run on... unix OSes with few to no modifications.

Things like:

* Java
* PHP
* Perl
* Python
* Ruby
* Apache
* Nginx
* Varnish
* MySqL
* Postgres
* Node.js
* etc

all run just fine on a Solaris-clone. Unless your app is using very specific kernel features it will probably work fine.

None of those things (with the exception of voter suppression) could be remotely classified as "political violence". While I find the idea of denying basic human rights to anyone repugnant, it is not violent in and of itself.

"Political violence" is violence perpetrated to reach political goals. For something to be political violence, it first must be violence, only then does the political angle even matter. I would also broadly separate "politicized violence" from "political violence". The first could be a war that is being discussed politically, the latter is physically assaulting someone because they hold a political view you disagree with.

Let's not play funny with words, it doesn't help the quality of the discussion. You're clearly not ignorant, so don't act that you are for the purpose of trolling. Not to mention, basically NONE of the things you brought up are part of the conservative ideology. You're focusing on "issues", which have nothing to do with ideologies. Ideologies are deeper, and determine individual's stances on issues. An individual can hold an ideology and have differing stances on an issue from other individuals with the same ideology.

Something helpful to consider might be that Republican != conservative and Democrat != liberal. While the terms are often conflated, it is wrong and done by pundits /specifically/ to confuse the conversation. Don't play into the same game.
There is certainly some of that. Personally, I find that the Go language can be quite limiting, but there are often workarounds for the problems. That said, workarounds aren't a good excuse for failing to have first-class support for various use cases, and sometimes Go simply doesn't have a suitable workaround. These are my criticisms for Go the language. Go the ecosystem is top-notch; there's virtually no learning curve, and almost everything Just Works. Testing, benchmarking, and profiling are all supported out of the box. No project metadata files or build script files to learn or maintain. Everyone's code looks the same (`gofmt`), and the constraints imposed by the language make for boring, super-easy-to-read code, even if it is tedious for the writer. No special documentation syntax to learn--docs are just comments. http://godoc.org is bar-none the best documentation site for any language I've used (everything is in one place, clean layout, easy to navigate, etc). Even if code isn't well documented, documentation tools can use the static type structure of the program to give you enough information to piece together how to use a library.

Depending on the application, the utility of the ecosystem often outweighs the constraints of the language. But inevitably, Go will have to improve as a language before some other language's ecosystem improves and eats Go's lunch.

It's not an us vs them mentality. Traditional marriage is a core Republican Party platform.

> Foremost among those institutions is the American family. It is the foundation of civil society, and the cornerstone of the family is natural marriage, the union of one man and one woman. Its daily lessons — cooperation, patience, mutual respect, responsibility, self-reliance — are fundamental to the order and progress of our Republic. Strong families, depending upon God and one another, advance the cause of liberty by lessening the need for government in their daily lives. Conversely, as we have learned over the last five decades, the loss of faith and family life leads to greater dependence upon government. That is why Republicans formulate public policy, from taxation to education, from healthcare to welfare, with attention to the needs and strengths of the family. [1]

Hate, dislike, enmity, love. Call it what you want but the end result is that the Republican platform explicitly calls out marriage between a man and a women good, between two people of the same sex bad and pragmatically they support taking away the rights of gay people.

Also, just so we are clear. Im not saying all Republicans hate gay people. There are definitely some who do and those are the individuals that seem to drive the platform policy.

> Similarly, if I had spent much time in Libya, I might consider holding my nose and voting for the candidate who didn't work hard to create that situation.

I have a friend who grew up in a country that was the subject of a rather messy US intervention back when he lived there. He's socially liberal on almost every level, but voted without hesitation for Trump. His explicit reasoning was that he found Trump less likely to start lasting, Iraq/Libya style interventions, and believed the death toll of such an action would outweigh literally everything else.

There wasn't really much to argue there. It's not as though he considered Trump's comments acceptable, it's not like he didn't understand the importance of protections for trans people, he just saw everything else as smaller than tens (or hundreds) of thousands dead and millions displaced. I couldn't really disagree; honestly I'm frightened by the indifference of much of the left to our trail of destruction abroad.

The only question dividing our votes was what decisions we expected Trump and Clinton to make on foreign wars. It really was the biggest issue going for both of us.

Try Firefox for Android - it allows background nedia streaming, and even puts controls in the notification drawer. It also allows adblocking, extensions, has the amazing reader mode which makes the most unusable websites readable again.

The current version 55 is a little slower than Chrome on my 3 year old phone, but performance in the past few major versions has definitely improved. The nighty developer build of Firefox 57 absolutely flies.

Mozilla is doing an amazing job with their Firefox modernization, it's a shame how little attention it gets on Android.
I neither ignore it or assume I can do it better. I just did it because it was fun and satisfying.

I don’t believe I could do better than curses/ncurses. What I do believe, however, is that replicating the work isn’t always bloat. If you’re only going to use a small subset of the library anyway, replicating a bit of it might actually be less bloaty than including the whole thing. That said, when in doubt using pre-made solutions surely is better _if_ you’re working in a professional/production-grade environment. I on the other hand am just playing around and seeing how far I can take this.
This. When I read stuff like "his conservative support for free speech" the only thing that comes to my mind is excusing hate speech by appealing to freedom of expression, and generally the "tolerating the intolerance" issue. I'm from Europe though, so maybe my point of view on what "conservative" and "liberal" means differs from American one, so an explanation would sure be handy.
A flat tax disregards the way our society pools resources to give the OPPORTUNITY to all to build a business. A flat tax acts as if the business owner who runs trucks over roads paid for by all is not getting a huge advantage by living in a country (the USA) where all taxpayers pool money to make these OPPORTUNITIES available.

The huge advantages that come to a member of this country are disregarding and ignored by proponents of a flat tax.

If Magic Leap wins, which I doubt, it will be because of their deep thinking about what AR means at the OS interactions level. Microsoft and Google completely failed to marshal any deep thinking about post-mouse AR interaction paradigms beyond "give the user a Bluetooth clicker" and "maybe voice?".

If Magic Leap fails, which I expect, it will be because they are approaching this deep thinking as a never-ending Xerox Parc style research project, not something that needs to be rapidly racing towards a set of standards and conventions and API's to be used by 3rd party devs in order to deliver the intended consistent user experience to end users across huge numbers of applications.

In Apple terms, Magic Leap desperately needs both their Andy Hertzfeld and their Guy Kawasaki, and shows no signs of having either one.

You only get to do that after you understand their reasons, which you can then judge.

It doesn't work like that. People don't generally run around, telling everyone who they voted for. It usually comes up in conversations, where the person who divulges their choice don't expect to get hated for it.

> Also, I'd put hating people for the color of their skin, the sexuality, their religion, ... as much much stupider.

I agree with that (maybe not with the much much part, because to me it seems to be a similar kind of stupidity; different flavours of the same bug in thinking). This doesn't invalidate my point though. People should not do either of those things.
