Huh? You're seriously asking why we should care what experts on the far-right have to say about far-right organizations?

If they are in fact members of the Alt-Right -- which it seems none of them deny -- then I don't see why any further explanation is required. The Alt-Right is an SPLC-designated hate group. They promote vile hatred against People of Co

Good. Twitter has a legal and ethical responsibility to not allow their platform to promote vile racism, sexism, Islamophobia, etc. No one owes anyone a platform to spew their hatred. If the bigots don't like it no one is stopping them

A single hashtag is in no way comparable to a fast growing white-supremacist hate movement which counts he President-Elect's right hand man (Steve Bannon) as a member.

What is the actual criticism? The Alt-Right is a hate movement. Twitter has a responsibility (both ethical and legal) to prevent their platform from being used to promote racism, sexism, Islamophobia, etc.

It's a private business, they have every right to decline to provide service to (hateful, bigoted) people. Don't like it? Start your own damn website.

This is absolutely horrifying. To know that there are so many rural, angry white men who are so driven by hatred. There are just no words. This is a huge win for racism, misogyny and hate. I just don't know how this disgusting country

Drumpf is supported by David Duke, the KKK and legions of neo-Nazis.

It's very interesting that in these predictable "oh no, the PC culture is oppressing me" stories, the hapless victim is inevitably a white male of extraordinary privilege and power. I put forward that this is not a coincidenc

The FBI is not infallible. It's an organization made of largely of middle aged privileged white men. Considering Drumpf's campaign is more or less the white supremacy's last gasping rage that white people are going to have to

Hacker News is, as clearly stated in the FAQ, "for things of interest to hackers". Given how widely discredited WikiLeaks is -- pretty much every neutral observer acknowledges they're now little more than a messenger for Russ

It is crazy sir. And it is going away. What we are seeing is nothing but the last gasps of a bunch of angry, old white guys who are not happy that women, People of Color, LBGTQs, immigrants, etc are beginning to enjoy some of the same privi

They really ought to be asking some tougher questions. At the end of the day, Trump is a man whose platform consists of removing the rights of large cross sections of the American public (Mexican-Americans, Muslims, women, etc.). Supporting

This tired argument is based upon the assumption that tolerance requires one to tolerate the intolerant. Since the vast majority of progressives reject this, your argument carries no weight. Drumpf is a racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, a

If you vote for Trump, you are supporting a racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-LGBTQ fascist. You are in fact voting against the very principles of equality, liberty and diversity that this country was founded on. As such voting for -

Not a fan. Not to say this isn't perhaps more readable to a layperson than the regex equivalent. However, I dislike these sorts of "syntactic sugar" libraries as a rule due to the cognitive overhead they add to a project; eve

I would also add __slots__ = () to your class definition so that instances of Foo keep the small memory footprint benefits do namedtuple.

I don't mind the "try ... except" version for the cases where most of the time the key will be present. Two reasons for this: 1) the "except" semantics help hit home the point you expect the key to be there most of
