Yeah - there's a ton of them around the internet these days. Tankies are the sort of people who defend the Venezuelan and North Korean governments on r/socialism, for example.

I have no idea what chunk of the actual population they are, but I know a lot of people in Antifa self identify as tankies. I could be wrong though, usually am.

A huge chunk of millennials are non longer believe in free speech [0], and everyone seems to agree that Facebook et. al's censorship of objectionable content is great. Between the insanity of the current government/far right, and the rise of the far/tankie left, I'm not sure that liberalism is long for this world, even in the West.

I'm literally working one something that's exactly that, right now. Connected by HAProxy joining APIs from both sides. Weird.

No, but I believe you can trust those that are open about their biases. For example, The Economist is very, very open about being a pro-free trade, pro-free market, pro-individual rights organ, in the tradition of classical liberalism. When you read a piece on, say, immigration in The Economist, you can suss the truth out because of this. Like it or not, the same is probably true of Breitbart - for example, I'd take their coverage of Chicago gun violence with a grain of salt, but would probably pa attention to their coverage of the opioid crises, than the ivory tower view of the NY Times.

What scares me more is when organizations claim to be impartial, like Google, Facebook, or the Times. Claiming to be impartial is claiming to represent absolute truth.

I never understood that - why do people brag about cheating the tax man? I have to make up the difference, in either (very slightly) reduced services or higher taxes.

It always struck me as odd.

Generally people that sell inputs like shovels, jeans, and land. Prospectors generally lose money.

That poem means the exact opposite of what you seem to think it means (like most allegories, to be fair).

Netflix certainly offers "digital adult content" in shows like Easy, movies like Below Her Mouth, but PayPal accepts their business. You can buy content on Amazon with PayPal, which sells a TON of out and out porn.

Is it maybe more fair to say that small sites that offer adult content are not allowed?

I'm going to need some citations here, I find it hard to believe that low-dose aspirin in healthy adults would substantially impact mortality in major trauma events.

The limit on truck size isn't because of human driving capacity, it's because road damage scales as the fourth power of axle weight. Trucks already do the vast majority of damage to our infrastructure, increasing the weight more would literally take down some older bridges.

You are obviously not the median person, and the median solution will therefore not work for you.

Even inside a given service - you think Viacom suddenly stops paying top talent without notice? They at least buy you dinner first.

I think this is fascinating, but your case would be a lot stronger if you provided some sources.

Jesus Christ, what a story.

Pick a stack for back and frontend, stay with it, and get good instead of jumping around constantly. Doing otherwise will slowly put you behind, and you will have to work pointlessly hard.

Do you use the bang system in DDG? I think that more than makes up the difference.

Insulin is covered by a few different social programs in the US

You're thinking of DC. Puerto Ricans are actually pretty conservative, there's a chance that DC will finally become a state now that PR has voted to join.

These really don't work so well on Firefox Mobile, unfortunately. The work is beautiful and the project looks like something I'd love to use!

It's downvoted because its precisely wrong - the court ruled the search was outside the bounds of the law, and threw out the case. People fuck up all the time, but here, the system worked exactly the way GP wants it to.

Certainly the ISPs are at fault here, but the Canadian court system seems to be working just fine. The existence of the Anton Piller concept is troubling, still.

I honestly don't think so, the UK isn't important enough globally for WhatsApp to risk losing everything - look at what happened with them in Brazil, which is a larger WhatsApp market by a good bit.

A lot of this stuff feels like a vindication of how Indians make fun of Brits: foot stamping, bureaucratic, and out of touch with a world that has largely passed them by.

These responses are peak HN, it's hilarious and disappointing. The actual answer to your question is that tons of cities had beautiful public baths (I live next to a locked one), and shut them down when they became ground zero for AIDS transmission. Men were having risky sex in the locker rooms, and the closing of the public baths is seen as the turning point for the US taking the AIDS crisis seriously. The below address mostly private baths, but the rules ended both.

Look up Measure R. LA has mostly given up on roads and is very aggressively building new public transportation lines. The city has repeatedly voted for taxes to fund these endeavors.

You want a Ford F-150 or a Tacoma. You can spray the inside of those down with a hose, and range is definitely not an issue.

This is a midsized sedan.

DuckDuckGo has been fantastic lately, and the bang system keeps me from using anyone else.

React + WebAPI on dotnet core. Fast, portable, good documentation all around, and simple.

Simple is good.

That's started to happen again in the US, but you have to remember that many US cities were fairly dangerous and neglected until about 20 years ago.

Dramatic increases in lifespan have produced a home owning class that would normally have died years ago, locking up a large chunk of the housing stock. Also NIMBYs.

The situation has become insane. Here is a 2 bedroom in Jackson Heights, Queens for $815k - where the median household income in the area (which is not really gentrifying) is $51k:

I want someone to explain to me how this is going to work. We cannot structure our society this way, it leads to and has always lead to a landed gentry that is at a minimum semi-feudal, much less the social stability implications. The situation sounds much more serious on the West Coast, unbelievably.

I have no idea what's going to happen, but it's going to be bad, however this turns out.
