> White nationalists = nationalists that think that white people are better than other

No, white nationalism is not “nationalism” + “white preference”. It's closer to nationalism around a concept of a white nation.

> but we have guys from ICGJC and other afrosupremacist groups, etc. Why not ban them all?

Because we don't see scores of bodies piled up motivated by the message of those groups.
In the US there's no explicit right to vote.
I have a B.S. in physics. I worked as an engineer for awhile and then landed in a PhD program doing computer science. There's better job opportunities here, (substantially) better pay, and I'm still able to work close to the science (doing HPC stuff).

I also have always liked computers, so the switch is a good fit for a lot of reasons. But I'll also say that it feels like a completely different world (same with when I worked as an engineer).

Well, sure, they could do all sorts of bad things. Normally we don't go after people until they actually do those bad things though, instead of removing their ability to act because they might.
Releasing the server code allows concerned users to run their own servers, and this way they can ensure that they are using a server that runs the code that they expect.
I find that specific part to be terrifying.

You could be searching for those terms for a good reason, maybe I'm writing an essay about the spread of white nationalism and want to see how many groups exist online, or whatever.

It's very dangerous to label people and infer their intention automatically.
>the remaining three points have little to do with Bitcoin the technology

what bitcoin is as a technology isn't as relevant compared to what it is as a means of exchange. people don't care about the protocol, they care about the value bitcoin provides to them. To make technology the most important sales pitch of a currency is an ideological choice on part of the people pushing for bitcoin adoption, not some sort of obvious or intuitive insight.

> Constrained supply means protection against inflationist central banks.

This again, is a non-issue for consumers and everyone who isn't ideologically invested in crypto-technology. As long as you don't park your money under the mattress for a hundred years but actually spend it the stability that existing currencies provide is sufficient (and much preferable to the volatility of bitcoin.)

> A currency that isn't used to commit fraud isn't very useful. Therefore, to say that Bitcoin has failed because of fraud is dishonest at best.

That's obviously not the point. What is worrisome about bitcoin isn't that it's used for fraud at all, it's that fraudulent activity and weird con-like schemes constitute a significant, if not majority of activity. Which isn't surprising if the two points above are taken into account, it simply is not particularly useful for anything else.
This view of the future seems very bland and uninteresting.

I thought the idea is to make gender a flexible thing, for example you can experiment with being a female or whatever gender profile, based on whatever you feel comfortable with.

Not to reduce the worlds gender representations (in business, culture, etc) into a homogeneous middle ground? Expanding what's possible in terms of personal expression rather than (further) restricting it. So I'm very confused why this exists other than as an interesting technical project?
Wrong. Long term, subsidies encourage building more housing. Rent control has the opposite effect. On top of that, subsidies can be directed to bring the most benefit to the city (teachers, for example), while rent control benefits whoever happens to be renting at the time it is instituted. There are better long term options, but the political reasons for rent control are because the short term problems can't be ignored, so they aren't actual alternatives to rent control.

Startup Development – From Idea to Traffic
ProtonMail's bridge program is a bit of a kludge, and their proprietary protocol (rather than seeking IETF standardization) prevents implementing the protocol in the MUA.

I'd love to have a privacy-respecting mail hoster, but the ProtonMail bridge program is too unattractive to make the switch.

(Which is not to say that IMAP itself isn't a mess, but MUAs have gotten it to work, and we'd like for whatever other protocol we move to instead to also be an open standard.)

> it's well-accepted that the term "white nationalist" stands on its own and means something different from "white and a nationalist."

Is it?

Or is this a deliberately conflated term promoted as an 'official' label in public discourse in order to dissuade association with those favoring the more benign meaning?

Agreed that ambiguity shouldn't create inaction - but it just as well shouldn't promote incorrect action either

So the first thing to mention is that psychology has very little to do with playing good poker.

Secondly we'll define perfect poker as game theory optimal poker. Game theory optimal poker better known as GTO poker is by definition unexploitable. In the long run, two people playing GTO poker against eachother neither player will win money.

GTO poker is not necessarily the form of poker that will make the most money. Given that 99% of the time you are playing versus amateurs who do not know sound poker strategy you can adjust your play style in order to exploit the mistakes of the other players. When you adjust you are actually exposing yourself to better players. Better players can identify how you are adjusting to take advantage of bad players and in turn adjust themselves to take advantage of the weaknesses you are introducing into your game.

I'm not sure I see the problem with a voice assistant sounding male or female, and I certainly wouldn't buy this. It just sounds wrong, and I can't quite say why. I guess after all the work tech companies have put into trying to sound like a person, this deliberately doesn't.

Also, it sounds blatantly female but pitched lower. Even when I use the little drag thingy to pitch it as low as it will go, it still sounds female. I think most of us know pitch alone doesn't define voice, and that's clear from this.
Let's ask King George what he thinks about that.

Love the idea and implementation! However I have two main questions/concerns that might prevent me from being a customer:

Cost. Currently I pay $10/month to CrashPlan to store 2TB a month. I think your plan is to simply pass through the glacier price, but even that would be much higher cost I think?

Large files. Because I only have finite monthly bandwidth and a limited upload speed, it would be good to do incremental backup of large binaries, only changing the parts that changed.
> In the US there's no explicit right to vote.

Yes, there is.

There is no explicit general prohibition on laws impairing that specific right the way there is some other rights, but the existence of the right is explicit, among other places in Amendment XV, Sec. 1: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” This explicitly states that the right exists, and then goes on to prohibit denying or abridging it on an enumerated set of bases. (There's two other voting rights amendments following the same pattern.)
In America, white nationalism almost always means some form of hate against non-white groups. It’s associated with the KKK and Neo-Nazis. Whether or not it’s ppssible to have a non hateful “white ethnic interest group,” that’s currently out of the question in the US and will be for some time.

Even that is highly dependent on your post-flop skill. Marginal hands and drawing hands like small pairs and small suited connectors can be highly profitable on loose tables if you're confident in your reading ability.

Chinese nationalism is behind the cultural genocide of the Uyghur people (over 1m in camps)[1], brutal suppression of Tibetan political movements[2], and mass murder of political prisoners for the purpose of organ-harvesting[3]. The CCP uses cultural nationalism to get away with brutal suppression of non-Han ethnic minorities. This should not be overlooked, but it should also be obvious that this doesn't exonerate or excuse American white nationalist movements in any way.
