This has nothing to do with objective rules. It has to do with the leftist censorship - exactly what I talked about. You are preaching dogma. "If you don't subject and do what we tell you, you are wrong. If you talk, we will ignore you. If we can, we will isolate and mute you".

Perhaps my previous ban was deserved. This is surely not. Hackernews and Ycombinator have made it very clear that they are a conduit for leftist ideas and there is no place for differing opinions.

Now I understand how so many people hate you so much that they had to turn to Trump, LePen, Farage.

Well, apparently the leftist intellectuals need a history lesson. This is why the US intervenes in the Middle East.

You can run R code in SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, Hana and Vertica.

All of these databases kick the crap out of HN darlings like Redshift and BigQuery. Special mention goes to Vertica which is free up to three nodes and/or 1TB data + 1 TB in flex tables. It is, like the rest, analytical AND transactional. Has proper admin features, proper edge case coverage and a truck load of features. It also has a very sensible licensing.

Different people don't get along very well. Something "technologists" prefer to pretend isn't so.

You live in a country with population about the size of LA metro and more homogenous than it.

>Cuba is behind in development because of the American embargo.

American embargo was put in place because the US can't afford communist fools on its border. Simple. You swing at the big guy and you lose. That is war. Mistakes are unforgivable.

There are no good guys. There are just interest. The US protects its interests. Embargo on oil exports to the US? Fuck up your whole region so bad that this can't happen again. Divide and concur. Communism on its shore? Well, nobody goes on this forsaken place or else...

That's how you keep power and that's why you have such a high standard of living. You think it's because you work hard but it's not. At least not primarily.

After the fall of the wall, the intelligence officers and highest party officials took control of the economy, the judicial and law enforcement systems and also the media. They people who ruled did not change. Just their methods.

So since the poor were supporting somebody and the rich were opposing him, he must have been the right guy?

I don't mean to hate but why would anyone chose Stripe over Braintree? It seems the same to me + Paypal which is HUGE.

This is not some competition in morality. Nobody counts "moral superiority points". The only thing that is counted is money.

They have been good for every part of the world. And wars are a fact for the entirety of human civilization.

I'll take doubling the life expectancy of people China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, other Asian counties, as well as most of Africa as a "concession". Thank you very much!

The decline of the West? Published in 1918 and followed by the best 100 years in human history?

I like the quote but the irony is just too big for me.

You severely underestimate the "western" appeal in communist countries, I think.
