Are Tokyo and Osaka notably sparse compared to American cities?

And they are all significantly more "liberal" than the surrounding rural areas, even if in absolute terms they are not as liberal as Western cities.
I am pretty sure McAfee lived in Belize, another English speaking country.
No, I am not. Many of these white nationalist types want to send all African Americans to Alaska gulag-style, yet you don't see Trump talking about that, do you? Where's the wall? What happened to Steve Bannon and all the non-mainstream Republicans that were in the white house? Why isn't Trump talking about deporting all Muslims? Moreover, these people also hate Israel because they are anti-Semitic, yet Trump is one of the biggest champions of Israel. You see, I am not talking about alt-lite people like Ben Shaprio, I am talking about the neo-nazi, "Defend Evropa" people who were the main sources of outrage during Charlottesville. These are not Fox news Republicans. These people have no actual power compared to the Koch Brothers and lobbyists who are the actual influencers in the white house.
Charlottesville was actually the downfall of those white nationalist groups. Ever since then they have lost supporters, been deplatformed, and pushed back into obscurity. Also, the type of militant white nationalism you saw at Charlottesville has definitely not had any real influence on the administration (just like how antifa protesters don't have any influence on the Democratic party).
Do you have any examples? Are you thinking about California Conservation Corps types of things?

It wasn't always like this. There has been a steady rightwards drift these past years and now it has become much further to the right than both Scott and the majority of the blog's audience.

How do you use it? I couldn't imagine using Emacs with a software keyboard.
Re:U.S. Team Wins First Place at International Math Olympiad on Wednesday August 03, 2016 @09:30PM (#12222766)
As seen from the strong international presence , this competition is less if a competition between countries, but rather a students and a way to gather gifted kids interested in math together.
Re:The mindset of a programmer on Saturday July 30, 2016 @01:06PM (#12193747)
Seems obvious, programming is very much a way of thinking, so of course you have to develop that mindset to do well.
Yes, it most certainly is.

Welcome Scott!
It would be neat to implement a history system, that recognizes and records visits from certain squirrels, if it is that they repeat visits.
