  • Enlighten me then. Means of production doesn't seem to be controled by the party alone. Most of China's economy still follows capitalist principles. Rich Chinese and owners of businesses are still private citizens. Sure, some influenced by the government, some industries very heavily regulated, but China still follows capitalist principles in most cases.

    I always thought Socialism means that means of production is controlled by labor directly, not capital owners or an elists single-party government.

  • Yup, the "roar that matters" is the one people can hear when you quickly approach the speed limit in the city.

  • As the life-sustaining places become more scarce, they become more expensive. Your best play for survival is to play the game, amass wealth and afford the trip to Elysium. That's why even the people understanding the problem are part of it.

  • Let's not call China socialist when a single party dictates larger economic trends in an otherwise competitive global market. It's just not "free" as in free market capitalism.

    Otherwise I completely agree with the weaknesses of the western capitalist systems.

  • Lol, as all ratings there's biases and simplifications..

  • This is our natural AC overheating slowly..

  • Of course not. Extra deliveries past congress. Not that they would block it

  • You could argue they're a bit in denial, so France's clear words may wake them up a bit.

  • Yes, actually at my job a co-worker just found exactly such a bug yesterday: Debug build zeroed out the variable and the release build didn't. So the bug only occurred in the release build, but could not be reproduced on the debug build where the developers work on. So in the end he found it because of the different compiler flags used for debug vs release builds at our work place.

  • It's blatant anti-competitive behavior and anybody who cares about antitrust should be outraged about this and similar efforts. Getting legal protection for such decisions is nothing but regulatory capture.

  • It's not a revolutionary take. It's "easy" to make fun of extremist right-wingers in Israel, Hamas as an extremist group and the do-nothing West just watching on. If you know Stewart's opinion on the conflict, then this segment isn't a surprise either.

  • Yep, variables that are merely declared are not initialized, so their value is not guaranteed. Could be anything.

  • You're charging the class for a thought crime!!

  • Horrible code. First, it doesn't compile because there's no ; at the end of the class definition.

    And then more importantly you have a private destructor which means this CriminalScum's destructor will never be called, so you can't charge it with distruction either. Or are you telling me this CriminalScum has friends?

  • Biden really doesn't want these Muslim votes it seems.

  • Not a bad take. I agree he's funnier in the constrained time, but I also liked the The Problem where he had more time for thoughtful discussions, interviews and debates. A lot less funny though.

  • Free from the shackles of AppleTV. It's nice to see him back in the seat where I learned about him the first time many many years ago.

  • The thing is: It's 30%, but leave it to the US to call themselves a democracy and completely defy the understanding of other democratic countries.

  • It's one thing to say that a country not spending even 2% of the GDP should not be able to call Article 5. It's another thing to say you would "encourage [Russia] to do whatever they wanted to do" with said country.

    Nevertheless it's signaling unreliability, because it would violate the treaty the US has signed. Plenty of NATO countries have helped out the US when they called article 5 on bullshit arguments and lies when invading Afghanistan.

    But you're right. It's good European countries rethink their dependence. Too bad it comes with rethinking their alliances as well, with a belligerent USA.
