- XOR (chiark.greenend.org.uk)
So I collected some thoughts together and gave a lecture on XOR. Slightly to my own surprise, I was able to spend a full hour talking about it – and then over the course of the next couple of weeks I remembered several other things I could usefully have mentioned.
- Democratic-Republican Party (Wikipedia)
The Republican Party, known retroactively as the Democratic-Republican Party (also referred to by historians as the Jeffersonian Democratic Party), was an American political party founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 1790s. It championed liberalism, republicanism, individual liberty, equal rights, separation of church and state, freedom of religion, decentralization, free markets, free trade, and agrarianism. In foreign policy it was hostile to Great Britain and the Netherlands and in sympathy with the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars. The party became increasingly dominant after the 1800 elections as the opposing Federalist Party collapsed.
