blatant··on An art dealer disappeared with $50M. 17 years later a documentary crew found him
I am pretty sure McAfee lived in Belize, another English speaking country.
blatant··on Hong Kong Police Fire Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets at Protesters
No, I am not. Many of these white nationalist types want to send all African Americans to Alaska gulag-style, yet you don't see Trump talking about that, do you? Where's the wall? What happened to Steve Bannon and all the non-mainstream Republicans that were in the white house? Why isn't Trump talking about deporting all Muslims? Moreover, these people also hate Israel because they are anti-Semitic, yet Trump is one of the biggest champions of Israel. You see, I am not talking about alt-lite people like Ben Shaprio, I am talking about the neo-nazi, "Defend Evropa" people who were the main sources of outrage during Charlottesville. These are not Fox news Republicans. These people have no actual power compared to the Koch Brothers and lobbyists who are the actual influencers in the white house.
blatant··on Hong Kong Police Fire Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets at Protesters
Charlottesville was actually the downfall of those white nationalist groups. Ever since then they have lost supporters, been deplatformed, and pushed back into obscurity. Also, the type of militant white nationalism you saw at Charlottesville has definitely not had any real influence on the administration (just like how antifa protesters don't have any influence on the Democratic party).

blatant··on Emacs 25.1 released
How do you use it? I couldn't imagine using Emacs with a software keyboard.
blatant··on U.S. Team Wins First Place at International Math Olympiad
As seen from the strong international presence , this competition is less if a competition between countries, but rather a students and a way to gather gifted kids interested in math together.
blatant··on The mindset of a programmer
Seems obvious, programming is very much a way of thinking, so of course you have to develop that mindset to do well.

No subliminal message or anything.
blatant··on Cybertek: The Cyberpunk Technical Journal
" Cybertek is published for educational purposes only under The First Amendment of The United States Constitution. "

Now that's a license.

blatant··on Small Asteroid Is Earth's Constant Companion
It's not a moon, it is a quasi-satelite.*

We know of multiple, but this appears to behave like an actual moon more accurately than the others.
