This conversation would go so much smoother if we used the actual descriptive term for "alt-right" and "far right": fascism.

However conflicting it may sound, arguments against freedom of speech and freedom of expression cannot be supported in an economic of free speech / expression. This is not actually a dilemma, because fascist politics are incompatible with these freedoms; one cannot exist when the other is the norm.

And just like in any culture and community, the best way to counter fascism is not incarceration and bans but heavy investment in high quality education, on the one hand, and heavy communal shaming and stigmatization of fascist politics and policies, on the other hand.

Re:New research on PTSD in elephants and other animals on Saturday August 10, 2019 @11:02AM (#20662422)
Anyone who ever interacted with any animal who had trauma in their part already knows this. The experiences of "other"s that people are too ready and wanting to ignore simply because those experiences were not rubber stamped by academic journals is astonishingly depressing.
You just listed 30+ countries and regions yourself and proved parent's point.

I'm sure they weight a ton or more when combined.

> There’s only one extensive app store for android

This is incorrect. F-droid is quite extensive.

That means a global / multinational movement against governments cutting trees (eg for lucrative construction deals) is needed.
They do though.
I cannot find a link to the study or studies mentioned.
Do we really want to see more of the iceberg and see how badly we keep hitting it though the countless genocides and systems of torture?

I don't think so, no.

To the contrary, she told you what the actual diagnosis was and why she put on paper what she put.

Get a second and third opinions.

> You may be living in an unjust society, but if you can score X on this test, you will get Y.

In an unusual society, those who are disadvantaged will also be disadvantaged on this test if it becomes important enough to predict one's future prospects. Think private tutoring, specialized schools, summer camps, all focused on teaching you to get a good score on the test, and all expensive as ever (ie inaccessible). And now, your education system develops you for the test, not for life or jobs.

It's an easier sell, but it's a lemon and not a well designed and performant product.

Does it provide any linting or other code checks? I'm curious because I'm looking for something that can teach me proper SQL coding style and practices as I write it.

It is extremely well integrated into it, by design.

Re:Some notes on running new software in production on Friday November 16, 2018 @09:08AM (#18468787)
Sorry, cannot describe infrastructure (not a throwaway account).

Prod and Test are out of sync in terms of mission critical software, Test is not powerful enough to handle Prod's tasks, and there is no formal procedure to use Test for testing. So Test is never actually used.

When a bug is found in Prod, it's fixed on Prod, while it's live.

By fix, of course I mean an iteration on and combinations of:

qc: we found bug

dev: it's not a bug

qc: it is a bug: [insert evidence]

dev: it's fixed now

qc: no it's not

dev: how about now?

qc: no

dev: and now?

qc: yes but now this other thing is broken

dev: here's another attempt, please check again

qc: Prod is down

dev: try it now

qc: it's still broken, along with the other broken part, and now these three other parts are broken too

ceo: it's fine, close this ticket

Gender Trouble by J. Butler and Precarious Life by J. Butler

These two allowed me to adopt a whole new perspective on not just gender but life and liberty in general. Also, great writing style!

Please see the following for a list of constitutional amendments this would suspend to non-citizens:

https://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h926.html

For more information,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_United_Sta...

I also expect this would lead to suspending all US laws guaranteeing human rights to non-citizens at the border. As far as I know, US agencies are not subject to prosecution by international criminal courts, which would make their employees immune to any prospect of human rights violations-related prosecution.

Even reviews or average stars will if you're buying anything online, no?

Could you take another look at Yahoo? I don't see the link you mentioned to walk through the huge list --I couldn't find any link that gets me to those two pages.

Thanks! :)

Edit: Thank you for making this!!

They either made it much worse after the author did the screenshots, or it was already extremely bad --that I could not find the link to open up that huge list of third parties.

I clicked on all the links I could find in that screen except for that huge 'I Agree' button.
