Hiw does "woke" pose a threat to national security? What exactly do you mean by "wokeness"?
While the economic output per person has indeed increased 4-5x, the inflation adjusted median household income has only increased by 50% (1.5x). Government spending is not the issue here. The things you mentioned are…

Yes - unfortunately we have a lot of leftover usages of asbestos. Historically, it was used a lot. My father even remembers playing around in the bush as a kid, and using asbestos for chalk a bunch of time to mark stuff…
Sorry, I will try to make it more clear. NAND is more complex than AND, in the sense that it is more expressive than AND (having functional completeness which AND does not). Similarly, it can be built from other less…
Not the person you asked, but the initial point was taking that idea to the extreme. The concept of "one thing" in the NAND case is more extreme (in terms of granularity). No need to be sorry, it's ok.
The self-assessment is less to do with how efficient I was, and more based on the fact I get things done sooner, because I don't fuck around and get distracted every few minutes. Completing a task significantly…
I believe it was 30mg (10mg, 3x a day) that I started on. Dosage was adjusted after about a year, when I began to notice the dosage wasn't really having the same effect. Was upped to my current dose that I've been on…
I disagree with this. For me, the energy is because I have to use less energy doing basic day to day shit. Unmedicated, it takes far more effort and work, and leaves less energy for later tasks.
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 27-28. I've been on medication since then, and the impact has been amazing. It makes me wish my condition was diagnosed much earlier. So much unnecessary difficulty (Especially…
> I gave examples I think they meant specific examples (as opposed to hypothetical or vague examples) > I’m pretty sure they’ll be affect by their channel getting suspended ;) Unless I'm misunderstanding the other guy…
America wants freedom for America above everything else. It's why they engage in subversive and potentially destabilising operations abroad (in order to "protect" their own freedom). Internally, the situation is not…
That sounds very close to a "No True Scotsman" type fallacy. I've done a fair bit of consulting in the past working with Scala, and my experience closely matches the one described in the grandparent post - the issues…
The big "wtf" for me was learning that the US has, by far, the highest public healthcare expenditure of any country in the world. Looking at this data, it seems like it pays almost 50% more than the next highest country…
People are dependent on government anyway. Your life is very much in the hands of whichever entity wields the most power. Sometimes this power is direct and immediate (like a tyrannical despot). Other times it's less…
That's actually a terrifying and seemingly feasible dystopian future
It only interoperates with Java in a trivial sense. Using Hibernate for example is a real pain in the ass in Scala, because of its insistence on using its own collections.
Yup, pretty much. However, the implications of veneer can be significant. Providing a single unified interface which provides granular, unified querying of disparate types has several benefits. In particular, it can…
The problem I've always encountered with this (which I 100% agree with), is that I've never met anyone in a decision making position who's cared or been open to discussing it. Most places seem to just pick something…
What always seems especially disingenuous in these discussions, is the abnormal focus on nuclear projects going over budget (regardless if it's a first pass or not). It's almost a truism at this point, to say that a…
I'm not sure where you get your information, but mental illnesses certainly can be identified by physical (neurochemical) differences from a statistical baseline. Probably one of the easier ones to identify is dopamine…
I think a large part of the problem lies in the difficulty of accurate diagnosis, coupled with people's personal experiences with misdiagnosis. I've been misdiagnosed as bipolar in the past, and the medication regime I…
I've noticed that many people create a distinction between the police and the rest of society - as though they're separate to and apart from normal people. Given police officers are in fact a part of the same society as…
The discussion was about one of this those systems. Deflecting attention to criticism of other systems during that discussion is not constructive, and comes across as apologetics. You're right, they're not a dichotomy -…
Even if that's completely true, it doesn't detract from the points made in the article. Violating human rights doesn't become acceptable just because someone is a bad person, and the American prison system doesn't…
