Good commie vs Bad commie

A good commie is a good guy who feels that communism can solve world problems. A bad commie is a guy who thinks that the rich should not have what they have and it should be taken from them.

In effect, a good commie will always try to sell communism, while a bad commie tries to enforce it.

The thing about a good guy is that he will never blame others for his conditions. But the bad guy will use the story of the good guy to fight the rich guys. The bad guy is bad here, because he doesn't have the quality of the good guy that makes him good. He cannot fight for the good guy and claim that he is good, because he is not good, as I've just shown. The act he took on because he was bad cannot redeem him.

Analogy: It would be like saying that an impulsive person who shot a bad guy was good because of what he did. No, he decided to kill because he was impulsive, and even if the killed person was bad, that doesn't make his killing good. Now the situation is different if the guy who shot someone was a soldier, or was somehow morally in the right to do the action.

(I felt like I had one more point - or maybe it was the first point itself?)

Open Sourcing Video Games

#Draft - Clients can already be reverse engineered to make cheats - Any detection should be at the server side - Problem 1: Viewport width can be adjusted by players Solution: In that case, anticipate that and design the game around it. - Problem 2: Use of AI assisted macros Avoiding AI assisted keypresses is not always possible. Solution: The best thing to do would be to report and ban hackers. And people should hack less because there should be no inherent value in your scores, it's just a fun game. It will also keep the players from getting addicted.

Don't steelman a fascist (Wisdom of the Year)

Steelmanning is a method used by super honest debaters, whereby they state the opponent's position better than themselves, before chopping it down. This is as opposed to strawmanning, whereby one makes a distorted version of the opponent's argument, or a strawman, and breaks it down. The goal is to break the opponent's argument in such a way that no part of the argument will survive the attack, as the edge cases are also included when you steelman the argument. However, when you steelman a fascist, you're playing right into their trap. A fascist wants to gain popularity, and they want you to strengthen their argument as well as possible. However, once you have done your part, they won't let you deal the breaking blow. They will silence you by whatever means necessary. A fascist is wicked. But the worst part is that, you never know you're steelmanning a fascist until you've steelmanned them. So if you ever encounter them, don't try to correct your mistake...

Why is negative times negative positive?

While I was philosophizing, I forgot how this could happen XD! So I had to rethink how it works. So multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition. This even true for non-integer real numbers, just that sometimes you are adding it only by a non-integer proportion sometimes. Addition is commutative, so you can explain adding A B times also as adding B A times. With negative numbers, when we take B from A and if B is greater than A, we can say that the result is a negative number with the value of taking A from B, so that the borrowed amount is represented as the difference between the larger and smaller number. Since we have established the origin of negative numbers through subtraction, we can add a positive number to a negative number to bring it closer to the positive realm. Adding a postive number reduces the borrow from the negative number, until it reaches zero, and then the familiar addition of applies. Since we have established subtraction as removal earlier, we can use t...
