Well argued point. However, I would counter that we should not do evil in the pursuit of good.

Let's find another way that does not limit free speech. It will be a harder solution to find sure, but the converse is too dangerous and nuanced to be implemented. It also gives social media companies undue influence over our democracy.

It should not be the job of the social media companies to be judge and jury for truth. Let the people decide for themselves what is true and false.

Basically the social media company argument is... we think people are too dumb to figure out what is "real" or not so we are going to censor. That to me is an extremely damning view of the common person.

But then, everywhere on the platform.. "make a plan to vote". So you trust people to vote but don't trust them with the unfiltered information so they can inform themselves without outside intervention?

A potential vector would be to potentially load images/content through google image/AMP and make it appear as legitimate NSA content

Why when we talk about inequality we never talk about the tide of economic progress that capitalism produces.

If the rich get richer but the middle class has a better quality of life than what the rich had 200 years ago, is strict inequality still the only thing that matters?

I am really impressed with 18F and how the federal government has really stepped up their game on the digital/open source front.

It does make me wonder though if the usage rights of these projects should be restricted to use by US taxpayers though since that is who is ultimately paying for this work.

Yeah, maybe I phrased my comment wrong. By "modern" I mean "contemporary" meaning the loaded words are only effective on people contemporary to the speaker who grasp the hidden context behind the words.

unrelated side note... I think this is a great example of how much we use loaded language in rhetoric.

you turned "cannabis" to "plant matter" and "beat your wife with a stick no bigger than your thumb" to "domestic violence".

It's also amazing that this rhetorical technique is only useful to a modern audience that has been conditioned to associate certain feelings to the words.

Not disagreeing with your point, just thought it was interesting.

As someone who learned guitar recently in my late 20s, I can say don't overlook basic theory and the value of soloing/coming up with melodies.

For me, the creation aspect helped keep me interested. A lot of the beauty of programming is creating new stuff. If that's what you love about programming, try to create your own music as soon as possible.

You may want to start on ukulele first (4 strings/requires less pressure) to get the concepts down and start creating your own music faster.

I have a headache from looking at the screenshot. Don't you think the UX could be a bit more streamlined?

Warning: I am not an expert, do your own research.

I would sell around 32 delta out of the money put on SPY. You have around a 68% chance to make a profit. This is a naked position so you need to understand that it has undefined risk.

You could cover yourself by buying a further out the money put. My investment philosophy pretty much coincides with the tastytrade.com guys.

If you want to learn more, I would checkout dough.com and do the free course on there.
