I mean, sort of yes, but also Catalonia was annexed within living memory.

On a purely practical level, by cracking down on the vote, they only ensure its outcome. See if it passes and then strike down the resulting legal structure in a higher court, at the very least. The constitution of every divided country has measures to deal with these, and the first step is never "cracking skulls."
It would be implausibly coincidental for the second attempt to happen at the same time Facebook and Twitter are being directly investigated for their role in electoral propaganda and Thiel is a frontrunner for the PIAB position.
You should really do some research before you make claims like this. One place to start would be Marvin Liebman and the American-Chilean Council, which planted pro-Chilean propaganda in several high-profile conservative press outlets.
So does Cuba lack medicine because they're communist? Or are they communist because the US worked against broad prosperity in Cuba, often very violently and explicitly, for decades before and after Castro?
There's no limit to how much marketing can be done.
Thus, late capitalism.
(Also the "genius" of software development, where we seem to have invented a way to make infinite broken sinks.)
> The World Health Organization, a United Nations agency, helped broker the deal. Under it, Brazil pays Cuba... nearly four times what Cuban doctors earn through the arrangement.
Google makes $1,200,000 per employee; a comparable average salary is then $300,000, which sounds on the high end of plausible if restricted only to engineer salaries (and it'd be a very top-heavy average), but implausibly high for a company-wide average.
You might be getting an awfully short end of a stick, but if you're getting free education and free health care at that level, you are not justified invoking slavery as a comparison, given the history there.
AIUI, no, CBP cannot deny American citizens entry. They can confiscate your phone (and probably never have to return it) or arrest you, but either way they also need to let you in.
(Though if you're brown, and in certain areas, that arrest can pretty quickly turn into a summary deportation hearing where you have to prove your citizenship without access to lawyer or paperwork. In theory everyone involved would be in deep shit for an incident like that, but in practice they get presidential pardons.)
Also, this article isn't about CBP policy.
This is in the same vein thematically but substantially different both legally and technically. It applies to immigrants whether or not they are crossing borders, and it builds a permanent database of what they've found. Whether this is illegal or not depends on the nature of "what they've found" - it sounds like they're "just" going to be buying up the same data sources advertisers use, which is probably legal. (But terrifying.)
This would seem to exclude virtually all delivery service, cleaning service, car service, etc. companies, which are usually considered the prototypical SV startups.
Org-mode is an amazing tool and I use that tool every day. But to the extent there's an org format, it's not very good, and it's less interoperable than Markdown (the interoperability problems of Markdown are cited by the author as a major reason to avoid it).
I didn't write anything about ox-hugo or Hugo, and I don't know why you brought up either.
This is something I've never liked about org-mode. Markdown was designed to be authored in existing tools, so its conversion of ASCII to Unicode quotes makes some sense. But Org is defined by its Emacs implementation, and Emacs has always had electrified punctuation support. There's no reason to export -- as –, and therefore need to deal with escapes, etc., when you can make -- insert – and export literally.
The fancier the editor, the fewer special syntaxes you should need in the format.
This is because org overrides massive amounts of Emacs default functions - in this case, in org-setup-comments-handling. org-mode doesn't really use syntax tables normally. Similar problems occur with strings. They are known issues, and unlikely to be fixed.
Sure it does, <!-- ... -->. This is also what Emacs will automatically use if you add-file-local-variable in a Markdown file, so I don't know why you're using that weird format.
There's a stronger argument to made that org-mode doesn't really have comments. As far as I can tell syntax-ppss never gives me non-nil for them. Sure, a line like "# foo" appears in a comment face, but so does a line like "#+ASDF:" or "#+BEGIN_SRC" (but not a line like "#+TITLE:"). So whether something is a "comment" depends on its contents, which means it's syntax, never really a comment.
An extra newline between the end of the inner part and the return to the outer part, which is what I do naturally. This can get unwieldy for breaking out of more than one level, but that's rare enough you can handle that with an alternative syntax like "--" alone to break out of two levels, "---" to break out of 3, etc.
Another possibility would be picking up ASCII SI/SO again. (Emacs already makes extensive use of FF.)
Sorry but this just isn't true. org-mode doesn't have the standardization problems Markdown does only because it's not as popular. As far as I know org-mode also doesn't have a standard, just an official implementation. And all the unofficial implementations suffer from bugs where they do something a little differently (https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode/issues/39 , https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer/issues/78 , plenty of others in every org-mode tool that doesn't just call Emacs).
This isn't to malign any of the authors of these tools, but the reality is without an actual specification the problems are exactly the same as Markdown's - everyone is chasing subtle implementation details, not a clear goal.
IMO, org-mode only makes sense in the context of editing within Emacs. The (enormous) value isn't in the file format, which doesn't really offer anything over GFM, but in the editing tool itself - which is difficult enough to realize inside of Emacs, let alone in any other editor - and its integration with other Emacs tools.
I think there's a lot that can be done that will be more effective than that.

etc. There's dozens of these stories covered, which means there's probably hundreds of incidents at the top levels, and thousands or tens of thousands among people just started out.
The most popular and financially successful streamer in the world has normalized straight-up racism.
Really? "Cannot be explained"? Absolutely zero chance women who liked cars also wanted a workplace where grabass was going to be less acceptable?
Jesus christ, men.
But even putting that aside, on which dimension is Thiel not on the far-right? He's hardcore capitalist who supports (self-described!) monopolist policies; he sits on the board of a public surveillance company and is the chairman of a second military-industrial one; he published a book in which he called a substantial portion of rape victims liars; and we're talking about him getting an appointment in a right-wing movement in the federal government.
- "Free-market anti-capitalist" is a term used by people who want to call themselves "mutualists" but lost the rhetorical shell game trying to compare themselves to Proudhon, with whom they in reality share nothing.
- Thick vs thin libertarianism is orthogonal to the discussion here, though I think it's discussed almost exclusively by ancaps; as far as I know the distinction was created to discuss two different attitudes towards the NAP. Anarchists and other socialists don't put much faith in NAPs.
- "Market anarchism" is a synonym for full-on Rothbard ancap.
- "Libertarian socialism" is identified with anarchism back into the 19th century. Any attempt to use the term to describe "free market" policies is incoherent appropriation for the sake of (probably populist) branding.
No libertarian socialists of note work within the Libertarian Party in the US. When the term "left libertarian" is used in that context, the "left" is only relative to the paleoconservative parts of it.
How in the world do you consider the 12th and 13th Amendments and the Apportionment Act of 1911 "little change"?
The electoral college is an order of magnitude smaller than the original constitution would call for. The method by which many states apportion electors has changed since the US's founding. We also count people differently than we used to. Not to mention the 12th amendment.
Except the most popular abuser of Gödel's conclusions by far is a physicist and mathematician.
