Is it your opinion that "religious bigotry" is not protected by the Constitution?

How are you going to define that outside your preferred scenario of bigotry against gays? Do you intend to insist (by law) that Orthodox Jews, for example, work on Saturdays because that is more convenient for you and that that they are being intolerant of your beliefs for no rational reason?

What about Orthodox Jewish wedding photographer? Are they required to work for you on a Saturday or is it OK for them too refuse you service based on their religious beliefs?
Except whether or not happiness is independent of wealth is an open question that, it seems, may lean more heavily towards "no, not completely independent". Here's one example [0] where they concluded non wealth factors were dominant, but wealth still ayed a part.

I take your point but you can't also discount the air quality in cities being quite a big factor as to becoming less dependent on cars. LEV's (Low Emission Vehicles) are taxed less, for example (although the infrastructure is still lacking, perhaps CAV's (Connected Autonomous Vehicles) may one day solve that as parking could be placed further away and there may be more of a 'sharing' system in place, such that you don't really own a car, just dial one up like an Uber)
China can outlast the US on this one.

I'd take that bet!
If the RMB was left to find a market value, it would fall way below 7 to probably 7.5 or even 8 something. Yes, it is being manipulated, but in the other way that Trump says it is. The Chinese are simply running out of the dollars needed to keep manipulating it so that it stays stronger than 7!

The simple irony is that if the Chinese were just to give up manipulating the RMB all together, Trump would be even more angry.

Everyone manipulated, the Japanese and Koreans do it, even the Swiss do it. The only thing that the Chinese do differently is have non market exchanges and currency controls on convertibility. (And their central bank is much less independent than the fed).
My understanding is that most states do support non-competes. California is one of the few (only?) states where non-competes are specifically legally unenforceable.
We’re taking about rules fir governing a society. The military is for dealing with threats from outside a society, so it’s not relevant.

Cops in the US do not have impunity. They may sometimes get away with too much, but they can and do go to jail for murder. There have been a few cases I could name off the top of my head in the last few years, but I’m sure many more are findable with little effort.
I don't know if it's a good strategy to wait as long as it took Uber to supplant taxis for something to supplant Uber. If it follows that pattern, you won't live to see it, so "easy-out" is probably not the greatest descriptor.

That being said, your individual boycott will have a minuscule effect, and money in your pocket is good. I just can't imagine that capitalism is meant to work like this; paying people to use your product until all the competition is gone, then once you're a monopoly jacking prices up to infinity, ditching quality, and regulating or buying out any potential upstarts.
That's kind of like the procedure for getting people to cut food in half fairly. One person cuts and the other chooses.
Oh, that China engages in currency manipulation is not really up for debate.

What I find humorous is that this particular move seems to be driving the currency closer to the consensus opinion on where it should be.

Seems quite fair to me. Uber is using VC money to crush competition without worrying about making money. It is also true that traditional taxis suck. This is an orthogonal fact.
Death Note ended when L died.
That said, none of the companies you mention are monopolies -- they all set prices lower than competitors, not higher, and none of them have little to no competition. In fact every single company in your list included major competitors that make billions of dollars.
I clicked your link expecting threats comparable to the above. What I mostly got were off-color jokes. Like, an example here is Rosie O'Donnell (who is absolutely an idiot when it comes to political commentary) tweeting a link to a flash game where you can push Trump off a cliff. What is the scenario where this is at all connected to reality? I could certainly see it being seen as threatening and I wouldn't shed a tear if she was banned from it, but do you think that's comparable to the kind of threat being discussed in this thread?

Another example at this link is the NYC Public Theatre's presentation of Julius Caesar, which typically is a modern adaptation of Caesar where Caesar is depicted as whoever is currently in charge; and they did a production where Caesar is dressed like Trump. It's been a while since I've read Caesar, but the premise of Julius Caesar is that the conspirators who overthrow the man they believe to be a tyrant are themselves tyrannical. Caesar is not depicted well, but he's not the bad guy and the play isn't glorifying or calling for violence against Caesar, it's depicting the tragic spiral of consequences as a result of the coup against him. It's not even commentary about Trump, it's a running thing they do with whoever the contemporary leader is. They have previously done productions with an Obama-Caesar. I think they may have also had a Clinton-Caesar.

Another linked example involves a music video where a robot that looks like Trump explodes. Do you think this is threatening violence against Trump?

I just mention this because I'm trying to understand what possessed you to link to this to draw an equivalence. The only example given that seems at all comparable is the Big Sean lyric, and even then, I'm not sure I accept the premise that we should take a lyric from a song to be directly equivalent to an apparently straight-faced declaration of intent.

Do you think you could elaborate a bit on how you believe the linked examples are equivalent to his without saying "the left"? Like, specifically, which of the linked examples do you think is most directly comparable to this, and specifically, which of the threats would you ban if you controlled YouTube and those threats were made on YouTube?
What openly socialist country has lower income taxes in the US?

I work in (international) tax, and I don't know of any, especially not once you take effective income tax rates into account (i.e., meaning the actual taxes paid as a % of income).

I'm also unfamiliar with any socialist country having schools remotely as good as the University of California, VTech, UT, Ohio State, etc. I won't even try to list the many hundreds of amazing public K12 schools in this country.

I'm also not familiar with any socialist country that has roads better than the US with anywhere close to the same level of utilization. Sure, roads in the US may be relatively bad, but they're also 1000x more utilized.
The word is trust only because of historical reasons. At the time when this became an issue, companies couldn't operate across US state borders. The solution was to create trusts which owned the various branches created in each state.

I don't really agree here.

Solving a problem has never been justification for a solution that brings even more.

For example, an totalitarian dictatorship would solve a ton of problems with the US political system today. But that doesn't make it an acceptable solution.

When your solution brings more harm than it resolves, it's better not to have it in the first place.

Isn't Chinese Yuan depreciation caused by Trump's relentless tariff, just like Mexican Peso's depreciation when Trump threatened tariff early this year?

I'm confused who is manipulating the market & currency.
China, as a government, is a problem that needed to be addressed. I don't understand why China was even an option that the US took.

>The Supreme Court already judged the anti-gay-marriage bigots on the merits of their arguments, and they were found lacking.

That differs from what happened in reality. The Supreme Court issued a 7-2 ruling in favor of Phillip's right to refuse to bake the gay couple a cake. It was the Colorado Civil Rights Commission that found them to be discriminating. That ruling was overturned when brought in front of the Supreme Court.

Do people commute into Paris by car in relatively large numbers? Where on earth do they park?

Certainly in the UK cities I've known people who live in the core are much less likely to own cars, but people from outside rarely commute in by car to the core because it's just too slow.

Medieval city plans just don't suit cars, even where the walls were demolished to make a ring road. I used to joke that there was no way to fix Cambridge's traffic problem without demolishing a college, then someone showed me a 1960s plan that involved taking a corner off St John's.
There is a fallacy in your thinking imo. Sites like 8chan are not entirely devoted to radicalisation, just like a mosque is not devoted to radicalisation.

Yet sometimes in a mosque some evil islamic imam or something preaches radicalisation.

Yet we tolerate and welcome mosques. Then why shouldn’t we tolerate and welcome sites like 8chan?

Also please keep in mind that now that 8chan has been basically shut down, we have no way of make an opinion of our own.
No, it’s the reverse of that: they’ve been artificially strengthening their currency, and are simply slipping to a more reasonable market based value ATM. The CNH exchange provides evidence that the currency should be weaker, it has been that way for a very long time!
China would have a lot more room to move were the Hong Kong protests were not going on. The big problem they face is putting down the protests violently could lead towards pronouncements of them violating the agreement for it being held over. Which will lead toward countries people openly selling heavy weapons to Taiwan and maybe even building bases.

8chan deliberately set itself up such that it's impossible to do anything beyond an IP ban. This was a conscious choice they made, and that doesn't mean they get a pass on failure to enforce rules as a result.
No. It's caused by China's central bank printing currency in response to tariffs, essentially using currency as a weapon.
Reinvesting profits results in more jobs.

This would be true, if companies actually did this when confronted with lower tax bills. However, with rare exceptions (like Amazon), companies haven't done this in decades.

I'm happy that they do what they do to reduce federal taxes because much of what would have been federal taxes ends up in state and local coffers and increases employment opportunities for my neighbors and friends.

Corporations also skip out on state and local taxes. In fact they probably skip out on a larger % of their SALT taxes than they do their federal taxes.
Note that these are not legal everywhere.
The entire European Union along with China ignoring US sanctions will make the US re-evaluate its hegemonic ideology and interests

To get to a more collaborative world, this would have to happen. The risk being that it could lead to a less collaborative world if the US is seen as a toothless world police.

With the EU coming into its own and willing to take a near term economic hit to advance its goals, and China being forced to consider taking an economic hit to maintain its goals, it seems like this is possible now and into 2020.
I think the trade balance is too skewed in favor of the US. It will be painful for both sides, but we have a lot more goods we can tariff than they can.

Of course, they could also dump their US treasuries, but it would be a pyrrhic victory for China. They would hurt themselves too much in the process.

Disclaimer: I work at Google, but this kind of stories reach me mostly via memes.

Google has about 100k employees and this kind of shite seems to happen a couple times a year. Let's assume once a month. This gives an incidence rate of 0.000012 per person per year. Meaning that at 100 employees, plugging into [1], after a 100 year career in a place as bad as Google you would have a 10% chance of that happening at your company.

Assuming only 1% of what happened is known, you would get a 36% chance.

I do not see how any of the examples you cite are comparable.

Biological differences in performance have scientific basis. Racism does not.

I do not know which specific bakery or waxing cases you are referring to, there seem to be more than one such case. But I will try to clarify my position with a corollary:

Say I'm at a bar with a friend who is an observant Muslim. They are offered a complimentary drink by the bartender, who happens to be non-muslim. If my friend declines the drink because they think it is alcoholic, I will think no less of them. But if they decline the drink because of the bartender being non-muslim, I will certainly think less of my friend. In either case, it does not matter if the drink does or does not contain alcohol; only what my friend thinks.
Of course. (For some people.)

Here are some videos to give a flavor of the last few years of Perl 6 as it graduated from alpha in 2014 to beta in 2015 to the first ready for production releases of the Rakudo compiler in 2016, to outsiders doing videos about it in 2019 (last video).

* 2014. "There's this question of belief". 30 seconds.

Charming point made by Perl creator Larry Wall (during a long talk).

* 2014. "My first P6 program". 3 minute "lightning talk" presentation to an audience of Perl folk.

P5er Stefan Seifert shows what they learned and pulled off less than 24 hours after first writing P6 code. (This start led to https://modules.perl6.org/search/?q=inline)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Y-lvQP6jI

* 2015. "P5 Pigs". 6 minute "lightning talk" with audience participation at a Perl conference.

Stephen Scaffidi sings his heart out about tensions in the Perl community about Perl 5 "vs" Perl 6. (In reality it's not "vs". They're different languages in the same family, analogous to the way Clojure and Racket are both in the Lisp family.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5_7v7q98-g&t=48m10s

* 2015. "Hacking on Rakudo Compiler". 10 minute live coding screencast.

Rob Hoelz looks into 3 bugs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adUdmol7cLU

* 2016. "Perl 6 for beginners". A conference keynote. An hour, or 15 minutes if you're in a hurry.

Damian Conway is brilliant and hilarious. If you've never seem him, you're in for a treat. I strongly recommend the full hour. You will not be disappointed.

The first link below is for the full hour, the second jumps to the closing 15 minute "crash course on quantum computing".

I have no idea what all this means so tried to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_manipulator.

Found it interesting that "Switzerland have been manipulating their currency more than China since 2009 and Germany and South Korea since 2014"

Still it is not clear what that means in terms next steps. Will there be more tariff increases or sanctions? And then China will devalue their currency even more. So where does it end?

This is US Treasury report from 2017 I started looking through: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/international/excha...

The last paragraph explained the logic a bit more:

> The United States cannot and will not bear the burden of an international trading system that unfairly disadvantages our exports and unfairly advantages the exports of our trading partners through artificially distorted exchange rates. Treasury is committed to aggressively and vigilantly monitoring and combatting unfair currency practices.

Granted it's published by US Treasury. I imagine the Chinese government sees the picture very much differently.
'My opinion is that women's bodily autonomy is a fine ideal to strive for, but it relies on having a stable society with some minimum level of education (moral and philosophical too, not just the technical kind). It requires women who are able to fully parse the implications of what they are hearing to make sound and rational judgements on the rejection of a fetus or the embrace of it. It creates a moral duty for the people who are listening to not only reject, but to actively push back against abortions which are universally understood to be reprehensible.'
