I love how everyone here thinks they are above bias. It's precious. I'm just honest about mine.

I didn't say that they were left wing terrorist, but I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that you were referring to their support of left wing political parties. Again, I assumed that you …

ETA was a terrorist group, but they publicly announced an end to violence in 2011. They began the process of deescalation after 9/11. It should also be mentioned that the UN had sa…

You're an investor, it says so in your profile. Most of your comments have a fairly standard pro-markets anti-regulation view point. I was extrapolating that to be conservative but…

Terrorism? Edit: looking at your comment history I'm going to go with them supporting other left wing groups as your "terrorism"?

I'm really interested in the Core guidelines. They are only a few years old, however. It will be super interesting to see some case studies of large codebase adoption in the next f…

Right, but the loss of revenue from conference attendees is something that can be used as leverage against the politicians. The same thing was done in the US to push back on anti-l…

That's not a reasonable response. Even if Gdansk is liberally run it sends a signal to legislators that policies effect revenue and gives them a reason to push back that avoids mor…

Wow! Thanks for replying. That's a really good point. I'm looking forward to trying it. Cheers.

It was internet BS, not rust BS. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Cheers.

The read through of docs in their repo is interesting. They mention Pony several times as an inspiration because of it's type system's concurrency primitives. Rust and Cyclone are …

Right on. If I'm honest, I've called people out the same way with almost the exact same language on different subjects. So, fair play.

I'm going to say something crazy, and it's cool if you disagree if you don't call me names or kick me in the shin. Pay people to go to school. At least for a while. Why not?

So, I'm not saying that all academia is a front for aliens. I'm saying that the narrative produced from the status quo in economics has been, for almost all of my life, very conduc…

I personally think that economics is propaganda. Economists may think they are above ideology, but...

It was a really cool project. The software isolated processes concept is something that I really like.

PG mentions in footnote 2 that " the far right tend to ignore moderates rather than despise them as backsliders. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it means that the far right is less ideol…

"If that saying doesn’t convince you of the fatuousness of left vs. right labels" It reminds me of how fatuous Nassim Taleb can be, certainly. That quote basically deletes any hist…

There was a copy of the code for Singularity, the predecessor to Midori, on CodePlex. Not sure if it ever got moved to Github. It has to be said, though. It's more like "source ava…

tough crowd.

That's a pretty big simplification of politics over the last century and a half. For example, let me grant you that Nazi Germany and the Soviets were equally bad for the sake of th…

I'm trying to understand how you see Republican positions changing over time as well. From the perspective of policy or cultural issues. If I grant your point about how the last 15…

Are you saying that as the Democrats became distanced from working-class issues, the republicans got closer to working-class issues? Could you explain that in terms of the policy t…

"and the far right and far left are roughly equally wrong" I disagree with this in the strongest terms. I realize that the people on this site lean right, and arguing politics isn'…

Thanks for the link...just bought two solokeys. Been meaning to do that but lost track of them.
