Both the NY Times and the Guardian seem to hate Russia and all things Russian. I constantly read things in those publications that are ludicrously biased or simply wrong. They don't count as credible sources to me anymore. And as was a

Indeed. Take Brexit. Government economists stated as fact that there would be 400,000 job losses following a vote to leave (note: the vote, not actually leaving itself). Absolute bloodbath. Reality: the economy grew. Everyone knows econom

It's fair to say, I think, that the Economist represents the distillation of much globalist/elite thinking.

I told you that you wouldn't accept my response, despite it being a data-based rebuttal to a statement of fact in the NYT, and you did not disappoint me. Anyone can lead a protest, especially small ones. To be "the leader of THE o

No: I presented polling data. He said that the other politicians named in the polls aren't "real" but offered no data to support that, it's just his opinion. If facts are defined by anything, they're defined by data

No it doesn't. "Leader of the opposition" has a clear meaning. By your definition Nick Clegg is leader of the British opposition because he was involved in organising a recent big anti-Brexit protest, but nobody in the UK wou

Hi there! You being an actual Russian doesn't change anything about my argument, which is about the reliability of western media and not Russia specifically, that just happened to be a convenient example. Your rebuttal is that: - The o

Once again, I get the feeling you know very little about the details of the EU. The UK's attempt to join the (forerunner to the) EU was vetoed multiple times, by France. Your first sentence about how the EU "always wanted to have

That's not at all the problem with EU democracy. I'm sorry but you've clearly not understood the issues even slightly, given such a long explanation that overlooks the actual problem. The EU can never solve its issues when

I mentioned this a few days ago, but it's a shame he didn't look further into Java. NodeBox may or may not be slow but it isn't doing the same thing as the other apps, and like any GUI toolkit, it's easy for developers t

I still use Sublime. I've also used Atom and I didn't see any features it had that Sublime didn't. They're both very basic text editors, with the difference that Sublime is about 100x faster and less bloated.

Cloud doesn't have to mean virtualised and shared. There are plenty of operations that run on dedicated hardware.

I think if the EU had been really capable of improving itself in a big way the UK would not have voted to leave. Cameron tried that tack though and it blew up in his face. He toured the whole continent trying to put together a deal to addre

Polling shows people's opinions are stable. More information isn't changing people's minds. You are making some big assumptions about why people voted. For instance, you're assuming that because one or two people made so
