What credibility do the RAINN numbers have? The Wikipedia article [1] leads to [2], a RAINN page which links to itself (quote: "Please visit https://www.rainn.org/statistics/criminal-justice-system for full citation."),…
I completely agree with you. That's why publicly saying "you are wrong" is so powerful (and so dangerous). The powerful are not used to be challenged in public. They typically respond by a combination of - reframing,…
Praise in public, criticize in private In my (considerable) experience of working in large organisation (private and public), whether this works or not depends strongly on the power differential between…
What you are saying is that classical should appeal more to popular tastes. Maybe we should restrict classical rhythms to 4/4, ensure that all songs are around 4 minutes long, 132 BPM, and have…
Classical music is fine as it is, no need to change. Why should being based on improvisation and unique personal expression be the be-all-and-end-all of analysis? Not everybody wants to play / hear improvised music.

To paraphrase Brecht: Who fights for XYZ must be able to fight and not to fight, to say the truth and not to say the truth, to render and to deny service, to keep a promise and to break a promise, to go into danger and…
There is an interesting related paper "Copy and Paste Redeemed" [1] that is based on the assumption that a lot of copy/paste happens (and discusses why this is not necessarily a bad thing). [1] investigates how…

I'm curious: why and how do you think Exterior Algebra will have such an impact on programming in general? What programming constructs that EA capture that are currently not well-abstracted (apart from graphics/linear…
You keep ignoring the elephant in the room: that she was wrong (in the charitable interpretation). Why? I'd appreciate it if you could state clearly whether you think - F. got it wrong, or - she knew/assumed early on…
The section you cite does not mention that F. explicitly campaigned against the helix model for a while. Why? If we exclude the option that she deliberately lied about it and publically spoke against the helix model so…
Might this criticism have been politically motivated? For a while she actively campaigned against DNA being a double helix, see e.g. her 'obiturary' for the double helix [1] which preceeds Watson and Crick’s paper.…
Adultery is a reason for divorve. The "bad times" refers to calamities beyond the partner's control like illness, accidents. The marriage contract is only valid as long as both parties stick to it. Adultery is a…
The discussion here is whether women have more rights than men, or not. Sexual violence against women is irrelevant here, since it's illegal (unlike sexual violence against men). You keep changing the subject. Clearly…
