Your witty little strawmen with snappy names aren't helping your argument...
They don't need much more incentive to arrogate power; I don't think there is much hope in changing that calculus. >Let us speak no more of faith in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of cryptography.
Non sequitur. It means the reasons given by GP for him being a bad fit are flawed.
>He'd quite likely prefer that the FBI be legally allowed to torture suspects if extreme techniques were viewed as likely to result in useful information. To law enforcement, the rights of a suspect are a barrier to…
> I mean I eat animals. I can't put myself on some high horse. At some point we make them to use so there is a balancing act going on Well I must say it is rare to see someone sliding down their own slippery slope,…
You need to take the stick out of your ass. Give me a break I thought this was "hacker" news. You can't respond to comments unless they adhere to some kind of courtesy code?
Totally fair to be skeptical; not very impressive though unless you have detailed cause. Not quite as fair, or impressive to make comments like these with no effort or backing: >Glass domes and underground Martian…
Markov chains are bad at understanding context, and so is the GP. This post is about village women's rights in India, how did we get a thread several comments deep about the rights of wealthy white men? Oh right, we are…
Umm, are you an MRM markov chain?
Meyers Briggs is meant to be descriptive, but the preponderance of evidence shows that it is not, at all. In the corporate world discussion of MBTI very quickly becomes idiotically prescriptive. In my line if I see…
Thanks!
I'm in this category. I guess my excuse is that I did Bio instead. What's the best way to get up to speed without having to go back to school? I stopped at linear algebra in undergrad but I probably need to refresh that…
Yup this is true when defined narrowly enough, but impossible in practice. Plus you'd have to address the argument that cutting short a happy life is a moral harm. If we were a society that was capable of doing this at…
>Taken to its extreme, we'd end up with a world where we tried to save everything, even every insect, and we'd end up with an unsustainable world or at best a planet-sized zoo where everything was controlled and coddled…
You shouldn't eat meat because its production causes animal suffering. It's pretty simple really. I presuppose the need to justify just about everything actually. Your surprise at this approach kind of explains the…
>We need food to survive. Non sequitur, food isn't synonymous with killing animals >Almost all life consumes other life for survival Appeal to popularity, almost all life does all sorts of things that we don't condone…
>So yes, it is theoretically possible to eat complete and healthy without meat. It's also theoretically possible to put 3 chop sticks on top of each other, put them on your head and walk like that to your super market.…
What happened to the other comments here?
This was debunked in an article I saw recently, where it turned out that the data was cherrypicked pretty dramatically. Let me try and locate it.
Many aspects of human behavior have been found to be highly heritable too. IQ for one. Aggression for another.
What interests me is why Brennan was so confident at the beginning of this affair that he was willing to go on record making comments like: >We wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s just beyond the, you know, the scope of…
I stand corrected, my mistake.
I'm sorry but this: > HN is a happy place, and politics are anything but happy. makes me want to puke a little. I think you are probably right though, I can sense a major demographic on this site who are eager to ignore…
You are already greyed out, someone is keeping an eye on posts like this, clearly.
It isn't just the rules. I think the post is greyed out because a number of members seem to have flagged it, for no specified reason as far as I can tell. If you look at the post about their Reddit AMA it's the same…
