Americans have the weirdest ideas about Socialism. It is possible to have a state run healthcare system or nationalize the railways without devolving into Venezuela.

I'm not talking about shaming people, I think that if you want to have a community that doesn't have abuse then you need the admins to remove or ban the people who post abuse and threats.

Moderation is essential because by publicly making an example of trolls, you can change the culture to prevent it. It's the same theory as patching up broken windows to ensure that worse things don't happen.

Where did the data for the growth rate table come from? I can see that the original source is a reddit post but I can't find where the reddit post got it's numbers from.

The problem with this is that allowing prison labour to be cheaper than free labour puts competitors out of business and gives incentives to the state and business lobbyists to arrest more people for the sake of profit instead of reformatio

There's a good list of UK brokers here, most of which have Vanguard funds. http://monevator.com/compare-uk-cheapest-online-brokers/ Personally, I use Charles Stanley Direct and I don't have any complaints abo

That's scary. Would having 2FA enabled on your Gmail account protect you from this kind of attack?

It's a reference to a PG essay where he talks about how PR agencies often give press releases and news stories that are little more than hidden adverts by reporting selective truths: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.

I don't understand why you would want to be your own bank at all? A proper bank will have some level of security as well as the scale to not fall over if a single branch is robbed. Surely being your own bank will not give you any of th

The language itself is probably fine but the fact that they are starting from scratch with what appears to be no input from security or financial professionals is a clear sign that there will be security holes

How many exchanges have been hacked at this point? We must be getting near double digits.

The only site I know of that would vaguely fit the bill is https://openclipart.org/ . However, it doesn't appear to support searching by image type or by dimension and as far as I can tell, it cannot be 100% guaranteed

The new design reminds me of mint ice cream. In a good way.

It looks like it's been generated by http://overviewer.org/ , I guess they've got a cronjob or something that runs that as a script and generates the html and then it looks like they use an <iframe> to load t

This might be a stupid question, but does this mean that the number of Emeralds can that exist in the server is limited by the number of bitcoins that the owner has in the bank? I don't see how they can have a Minecraft world that has

I'm not sure but I'd like to join in so we've got 2 people at least.

By that logic, you can't judge any group in any way for doing anything because anything anyone does can be reduced to being an "un-hinged idiot".

Do you have a source or owt for that? You can't just drop something like that without any evidence.

If there are no leaders and no control, then surely the GG movement can only be defined by what it does under it's banner and it can't in any sane way be called "level headed" or "balanced"? If there's no

What are the organizing points for GG that are level headed and respectful? I must admit that I doubt that this exists.

You don't solve problems by ignoring them and hoping that they go away, you have to expose and stop it before it gets worse or they'll just move onto the next person.

I really don't think anyone creates a marketing plan that involves fake death threats. That just doesn't make any sense, especially as she doesn't need to manufacture an outrage against her.

Doesn't bitcoin require you to download the whole blockchain before you can use it? What happens when new transactions are created faster than you can download them?

I would be amazed if anyone accepted this offer, it's not enough money to justify making every other job interview afterwards harder. I bet it's just a PR trick to make them look like better employers after the warehouse condition
