On how PPSC scoring does not encourage players to throw games
In our recent discussion (threadID=1432961), many mods and fellow pillars of the community claimed that when you have two Great Powers in a game that have between 12 and 16 supply centers, one of these Great Powers has a (D) points-incentive to throw the game. I disagreed and this puzzled my fellow users, but only Lethologica took the bait when I explained my position. Here it is again: - :
The IRS employs regressive taxation for independent contractors and the self-employed
I paid my taxes in the States the other day like a good citizen. And I'm pissed. Is it actually true that the States has regressive taxation for people categorized as self-employed/independent contractors?

Last Ditch Effort to Stop Donald Trump and Save the Republic
Hillary Clinton, her campaign staff and the DNC leadership failed us miserably. I for one will never forgive them for letting Trump get close to the Oval Office, but we have not lost until the Republican elites cast their Electoral College votes. We must fight to save the Republic while there is still time! Sign the petition:

Dzhokhar Anzorovich Tsarnaev vs. Anders Behring Breivik
On 22 July 2011, Breivik detonated a massive car bomb packed in a van before the executive and judicial headquarters of the Norwegian capital city, Oslo, killing 8 people. That same day, Breivik made his way to a socialist youth camp on an island and shot 67 people to death with special bullets, including dozens of children and 57 victims shot in the head execution-style (more shot in this manner survived). Another 2 died trying to escape the island. Sentence: 21 years. - :

I uploaded SunZi's "Little Dipper" Android application to Aptoide
Our very own SunZi (userID=19506) once created a useful Android app Diplomacy adjudicator based on webDiplomacy code. SunZi publically published this adjudicator app ("Little Dipper") on GetJar, where it is still free to download.
For the sake of archiving SunZi's work, which our comrade gave the bare minimum of advertising (threadID=879472 & threadID=882356), I uploaded the app to Aptoide. - :
Issue with the new "Preview" feature big map
I know that the stand-off X's on a regular big map are often not accurate (and that issues with the big map aren't related to the order resolution code; see threadID=494283), but I'm surprised to see the stand-off X's turn up in random places in the big map of the "Preview" feature. Why would they show up for no reason? - :

Al Swearengen
Since 20 September, I have only gotten two PM's and sent none. Both were from Al Swearengen.
20 September: "Very nice point about the referendum, Old Sport!"
Today: "Man, you are such a fag"
When I try to reply to the second PM, I find out that Al Swearengen has muted me. Anyone care to comment? - :
Profile Comment and banned players
To an outside observer, when a user is banned, it looks like the banned user's Profile Comment is deleted. The recent wave of bans got me thinking: wouldn't it be better to keep the comment stored somewhere in case the player were ever unbanned? - :

So I hate to join all the desperate cries for help on the forum, but . . .
Does anybody here know where I could find efficient study aids for learning about general vector spaces (subspaces, basis, matrix transformations, etc.), eigenvalues & eigenvectors and general linear transformations? Using the textbook is very slow and I only have a few days. - :
