I don't disagree with you. But this is a private company that has decided that being associated with, doing business with, or providing a platform for neo-nazis (real or pretend) is bad for their bottomline. They made the correct call.

> can't break your headstock off — a quite common way to damage your guitar Really? Are people using their guitars as hammers? I think it's pretty damn hard to break a headstock off. Much more common damage to a guitar is den

You are correct, and I admit that I grossly simplified the situation to make it succinct.

Most large commercial lawsuits settle before they ever go to court. From my anecdotal experience, maybe only 10% go to court. Litigation is a very long and expensive process. Some files last decades before they resolve. When litigation is o

Is it unjustified? By what measure? Alcohol taxes fund the social welfare system, and alcohol taxes the social welfare system. Alcohol tax is rationally connected to it's purpose. It isn't arbitrary, and if it does infringe on you

I can never find sympathy for people who complain about high alcohol tax in Canada. Is this something that really affects your quality of life? Or is it more of personal inconvenience? Alcohol taxes violate vertical equity. And they should.

Really? I think he knows exactly what he's doing. He realized he could make a name (in infamy) for himself by co-opting the abomination that is the alt-right. And no, I don't really give a sh*t if he actually believes what he prea

That is a dangerous oversimplification of the law of contracts. The doctrine of consideration is very old. Commonwealth courts have made many, many exceptions to that doctrine. It is a okay way of conceptualizing contracts, but it isn'

I don't see any sources linked in the article, nor any quotes from any officials or excerts from any documents. Not saying this article is bunk, but what's the foundation for these claims?

I think my favorite part of this bot is that the bot replies don't even reference what the troll said. It just spits back a different phrasing of "you're wrong" over and over and over.

Only if there was any reasonable basis to believe that infringement had taken place. Most countries have some sort of pre-trial hearing before a civil suit to determine if there's merit to the accusation. You're generally not allo

Look, I know this article is a bit diluted, but haven't you always wanted to hear your favourite music filtered through an obnoxious reverb filter? Imagine, you can now have the experience of hearing Bob Marley perform in an opera thea

this is pretty great man! i've been playing with it for a couple hours now. my only complaint is that it's pretty hard to time the drop since there seems to be some lag between when i click and when the track starts playing (could

Use the volume sliders! I've been mixing without the fader for years now. You get way more control that way.

Every time I see one of these 'XYZ start-up is going to change the legal world' I shake my head. There seems to be this misguided idea that lawyers are essentially programmers, and that legal work can be entirely automated. There

Practicing law at a firm is very similar. Even from the beginning when you're at the lowest rung you're given tasks and it's assumed you'll figure it out on your own or go find help. Very little micromanagement. As you p

100% with you on this point. I'm pretty extroverted (whatever the hell that even means) and I can't stand open plan offices. When I get home from a workday in an open-plan I'm much more stressed and mentally exhausted. Wherea

I think you have an interesting argument here but I would like to raise some points as counter-arguments: 1. Your argument is premised on the fact that since you personally have been offered a credit card, and you personally have almost no

This is a fascinating article for me. I was a self-taught web developer, but I had studied engineering (not software/computer) in my undergrad so I was very fluent in algebra - which seems to be what programming is mostly about. I stru

You're 100% correct and I want to add that most people haven't trained themselves to taste well-enough to tell the difference. Taste is a trainable sense just like eyesight and hearing: a good painter must learn to "see"

To commit a criminal offence, one needs the criminal act (actus reus) and the guilty mind (mens rea). If someone deactivated the security system (actus reus) with the intent (mens rea) of helping someone else burglarize, that would definite
