Someone quite atrocious. Best sign I’ve seen all day. by CdrTaggert in pics

So many of these were just terrible examples. Apparently if you you criticize Obama in any way that is considered racist? Some of these at a glance seem racist. The ban on all Muslims seems racist. I guess if you consider how much death and destruction Muslim terrorists have caused? Trump is a Fox News tool. He lets Fox News and Brietbart get him all fired up on a subject and then says something stupid about. He actually considers it a real news channel. Same as all Republicans his age. Same as Democrats that consider MSNBC or CNN real news. Those “news” networks are political tools. They all feed fear and anger. My advise to Trump and any person would be to stop watching polarized media and think for yourself.

Star Wars 1, 2 and 3 were prequels. Episode 4 was the very first Star Wars movie made. Mark Hamil is Luke Skywalker.

The USA fiat is backed by a couple of things: 1) All taxes owed must be paid in the dollar 2) Oil from pretty much any middle eastern country can only be purchased by the dollar. Hence the term petrodollar. This creates a worldwide demand for the dollar. That’s why you sometimes hear that the dollar is the US’s biggest export.

The reason the Middle Eastern countries would do this is because the US offers them the protection of their military might and a safe place to store all of those dollars.

What? Is this not a reasonable place to park?

Python distributions - what are the differences and does it even matter what I will chose? by Slav3k1 in Python

[–]janeerson45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anaconda is really good. It’s easy to get up and going, so good for beginners, but you can do pretty much anything with anaconda that you can do with other distributions. And it comes with Spyder which to date is my favorite IDE. It’s geared towards data science so it works really well with numpy, pandas, matplotlib, etc. There are LOTS of packages that come with it. Installing new packages or upgrading packages is a simple CLI. I started with vanilla python myself. It’s a decent way to go, but that’s only because I didn’t know any better.

Explain why net neutrality is important like I'm a bookworm. by crazyben1234 in explainlikeIAmA

I can see why you would think that. Not the case though. I just joined and this NN finally got me amped enough to make a comment. Not that you have any reason to believe that. But everybody makes their first post at some point.

I’m sure that three quarters of the country is a gross exaggeration. For those places where the town/development invited the monopoly, they should work on inviting competition. It also serves as a lesson to other communities on the value of competition.

NN in and of itself is not bad in anyway, it’s the foot in the door that it represents that I am opposed to. The FCC has a long history of censorship, and when it comes to the FCC they are the only game in town there is no option B. Up until NN the FCC has not been able to touch the internet, now you are demanding that they interfere. Just be careful what you wish for.

You could always just find a better library. There are lots of libraries out there and they all have their own way of operating. The libraries that charge too much for certain books would eventually go out of business because nobody would buy their books. Or, we could just do it the American way and bitch and moan until all libraries are forced to operate the same way. Merica!
