>Clearly the disabled citizens should just crap at home

Disabled citizens are clearly better served by waiting for the oversized "Super Commission of Wheelchair Access" that takes three months to put a stamp on a project that has wheelchair access. You clearly didn't even understand the argument.

>And sustainability? Who needs that?!

Buzzword, three months, stamp.

>Frankly, ReasonTV seems like a left-wing caricature of the libertarians. There's very likely a good case to be made of wastefulness, but that video didn't have it.

I'm not at all surprised you think that.

Nah, I didn't call you __ALL__ communists because I was replying to a single douche who translated "I wager" to "I proved" while claiming I "carefully selected" a youtube video. In fact, I didn't ever call him a communist because it's not just the communists who call each other comrade, it's a leftist thing in general or least it used to be until the number of comrade run failed states became unbearable. I'm glad you like and trust the politicians so much, I'm sure they appreciate it.

> 1000s of projects that are on budget and on time

Ha, ha, ha, ha... Oh, you're serious :(

> A private company is a black box

That's why it's called a PRIVATE company. Is not your money, it's theirs, if they fuck up, they pay the consequences, it's simple.

>Which you "proved" by carefully selecting a single anecdote?

I CAREFULLY SELECTED a single anecdote... did you miss the part where is detailed why toilets (as in more than one) and other government projects cost so much ant take such a long time to complete? What can I say, keep believing, comrade.

>There's a lot of public infrastructure around. The vast majority of it was commissioned by politicians. The vast majority of it is just there, mentioned a few times in the local rag before commission and upon opening and that's it.

Of course, because the most of the press doesn't do it's job. Here is a more banal example about public bathrooms in New York: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfAE5emMCs8

>Berlin Brandenburg is an exceptional case

No, I wager is the rule.

>If Sweden can evolve from an impoverished hellhole to being the epitome of modern civilization in a century, why can't the same thing happen to Syria? Or Sudan? Or Myanmar? I think it can, and it will.

Except Sweden one hundred years ago was not an impoverished hellhole. In fact, it was one of the richest (maybe the richest) countries on earth, smack in the middle of the most developed, richest and urbanized part of Europe (the Baltic region) already enjoying a booming economy and 100 years of peace.

> As a person living in a former communist country I find it quite amusing that after the communism was replaced by capitalism population increase went from a steady increase to steady decrease.

I live in a former communist country too, one that suffered under a North Korean inspired regime in the last decades before communism collapsed in a bloody revolution. And population was increasing at the fastest rate in Europe at the time, despite the miserable living conditions only because abortion and contraception were forbidden because the communist leadership wanted to increase the number of state slaves as fast as possible. Hundreds of thousands of children were abandoned by parents unable to care for them due to lack of food, lack of money and lack of space in the cramped apartment blocks. Countless children ended up in secretive state run orphanages that looked more like concentration camps. Here's a clip of one of those happy places

Anyway, yay population increase!

> But you know while we talk about how many people has communism killed, we never talk how much child labour and slavery has capitalism produced.. Anyway you get the point.

How did capitalism produce child labor and slavery? You must be pretty historically illiterate to not know that it was capitalism that made child and slave labor obsolete through technology advancements and automation. The very concept of childhood as we understand it today is the product of capitalist societies during the industrial revolution. And it was the capitalist societies that birthed the abolitionist movement and also exported it all over the world through various means more or less peaceful. Blaming capitalism for those things is like blaming the cure for the illness it removes.

> And by the way it's not that I care about communism. I don't. Never liked it although during these years I was a kid so I didn't have adult Experience. But I don't like capitalism any better.

Of course you don't like "capitalism", who the hell would like "capitalism" if it would mean what you think it means (that whole slavery and child labor bullshit).

>I don't see how you'd equate communism and nazism.

They are both abject totalitarian ideologies that produced obscene levels of human suffering.

>how did you come with 100 million deaths for which the communism is responsible

Just add the deaths caused by communist policies (mass-executions, purges, labor camps, collectivization, famine etc).

Except Dota is not balanced so that heroes have the same win rate (LOL does that and it's a boring uneventful game for large stretches of time). Dota is balanced also taking into account the map, hero synergies, item builds, match progression etc, and it takes a genius like Icefrog to make everything fun and interesting at the same time.

merdreubu | 9 years ago | on: Sublime Text 3 dev build 3128 released

I think the development of VS Code was kind of an accident. They built Monaco (the editor component) for Visual Studio Online, then made it a standalone text editor as a side project and it ended taking off big time.
