You just said you would. Clearly, if you aren't going to do it you wouldn't. Now you have your entire life to prove me wrong.

Anticommunist propaganda? You realize that the man killed thousands, imprisoned tens of thousands for their beliefs and condemned the entire island to poverty.

What is misleading about anything I've just stated? Because that is one of the requirements for something to be propaganda.

then do it and post proof

does communism really require trade with capitalist nations to succeed?

That's more because of the embargo than anything Cubans did

I just have to ask, does communism require trading with capitalist nations to be successful? Because there are many nations under embargo by the US that are significantly more prosperous.

But clearly, when Marx was talking about a communist revolution he clearly meant that you should allow yourself to be exploited by your nearest capitalist neighbor.

Clearly double standards. It's not as if Cuba has been ruled by a strongman and all decisions of the state can be solely attributed to him while the US is ruled by a system where attribution of fault is significantly less clear.

it's a far cry from a scientific fact, which it seems like not just this comment, but a lot of us in the west (even mainstream academic economics) sell the idea as.

Centrally planning an economy is an NP complete problem. Marxism is dumb and if any would be socialist on this forum can explain to me how we as a society can retain the benefits yielded by capitalism without the use of capital and how socialism of such a form can exist without a centrally planned economy, I'm all ears.

Marxism has failed and failed and then failed again, and then it also led to the deaths of 100 million.

I just have to ask, at what point does praise becomes uncivil? Is it when you praise Fidel who has stifled freedom of speech and condemned his people to a life of economic stagnation? What about Chavez who has condemned his people to starvation? Or is it praising Kim Jong Un? Or is it praising Hitler? Or is it praising Stalin? Or is it praising the KKK?

There is only 1 ideology responsible for killing more than 100 million people in the existence of human civilization. Try considering that for a second.

We will likely not understand what Fidel has done to the Cuban people for a few more decades but I will take the role of oracle and tell you. 100 years from now Cuba will still be poor and it will still be an inexpensive tourist destination for rich white people from Canada and Europe.

Tell me, would you give up your citizenship to live as a Cuban currently does? I thought so.

How am I going to comment civilly? This is a dictator and there are people praising him here! WTF. This might be easy for you to comment on when you didn't lose your entire life because of this man but people have.

Nah, the Cuban revolution is dead. Get ready for A. Further integrations with the capitalist US or B. Fall of the Cuban economy because they are definitely not getting support from venezuela which propped up their economy in the first place.

Typically white people don't vote together.

Trump won because uneducated white people voted together as a voting block. Do you criticize black people for exercising their power in a similar manner?

Every single trade agreement has something like ISDS and the entire purpose of these courts is to make sure people follow the agreement as it was written. It's not like you will be invaded if you break the rules of the agreement and ISDS rules against you, you will simply be kicked out if you don't follow the rules. Why do morons spread fear about this shit?

Yes, the OS will use as much memory as possible, this doesn't mean you are hitting memory limits or performance bottlenecks.

Musk is basically undertaking a moon shot

A mars shot if you will

You can tell that a bunch of people only upvoted because of the title and never read the article because the article itself is trash.

Actually, standard of living is pretty heavily tied with gdp per capita, but I'm pretty sure we are talking about which country is richer not standard of living.

GDP per capita in the US is more than 25% greater than Europe.

Anger exists for a reason and it exists for good reasons.

Your initial premise is wrong.

There are infinite similarly dead rocks in the universe.

I've recently decided that I'm using React for the next 3 years before I consider switching to something new.

Switzerland has had many propositions that would have worked in favor of the majority but were actually voted down. Meanwhile, in California, everyone votes in their self interest without caring or considering the consequences.

I really doubt it has anything to do with them being vets. In Iraq and Afghanistan you can't shoot until you are fired upon but in the US it's shoot first and ask questions later.

1 success out of how many failures? The people of California are not nearly as intelligent or forward thinking as the people of Switzerland.

Direct democracy doesn't work.

He didn't provide any alternative and what I described is the status quo for companies outside of software engineering.

Which is why you

A. Don't make the interviews so hard that they require multiple months of preparation. You can be prepared for the google interview by simply having taken an algorithms course and studying for 2 or 3 weeks.

B. Make sure the people you hire are good communicators and are a good culture fit.

C. Try to make your workforce diverse.

Biosphere 2 didn't succeed because it wasn't run by scientists.

I'd guess as an alternative to the "demeaning" HackerRank style tests which are purely meritocratic and allow smaller companies to interview large amounts of people you would prefer nepotism and only hiring and interviewing people with high GPAs from expensive schools?
