(I'm from Europe) Does the word "socialism" actually mean something different in the US, or is it just an abuse of notation? I see this all the time. I don't see what worker-owned means of production has to do with the e

You realise there is a reason that there is no API, right? Nice job on violating Snapchat's terms.

Some routes are very sub-optimal though. But you can't satisfy everyone's needs.

Is there any actual justification for viewing spacetime as being discrete, with unit 1 Planck length/time? As far as I'm aware, the Planck length is just a length you get when you multiply a load of constants together.

I'm surprised how popular compatibilism is. It seems like a complete cop-out to me.
