A lot of the people who comment here are techie provincials who literally have no understanding that the things they believe, or at least the things they recite as their beliefs, are ideas that might be analyzed and…
The latter is an "impossible question" because it's a meaningless question.
"You essentially outline why it should be broken up." No, they didn't. They explained why breaking Google up would kill all of those "free" services. "Google is a monopoly, they exert monopoly power and enjoy monopoly…
That's not entirely their fault. Those programs were designed and instituted to make as many people as possible dependent on them so they would become a captured voting bloc.
You can derive morality from observation if you aren't looking for ontological "ought statements". Hume's position assumes that the religious approach to morality is the only one possible - that morality consists of…
- their attempts at having kids decades later take longer or fail completely Isn't that normal when you try to have kids "decades later"?
Not to mention the reincarnated Norse gods
No. According to the Mujahadeen who did work with CIA, ObL was considered an "extremist" even among them because he expected to go to war against the US immediately after they were done with the Soviets. According to…
You can't have an ideology that claims both "people have a right to things that others must produce" and "bodily autonomy". This isn't a potluck dinner. You can't just mix and match contradictory beliefs because it…
Citizens United didn't change any established laws. It reiterated the already-existing fact that people don't lose their free speech rights just because they've banded together into a business entity. The Clinton…
I've noticed that headlines on some of the major news outlets sometimes change after the javascript fully loads. I don't follow WaPo, so this isn't unique to them.
Sun machines always seemed to have weird environment-dependent behavior. In college, one of our classmates got the nickname "the human eclipse" because no matter what time of day, no matter what else was going on, when…
You do realize that this is, in fact, very similar to what the people who stumped for "just letting us have bike lanes" have progressed to advocating, right? Totally car-free roads, roads that technically are car-usable…
"I think you're kind of overreacting" There is no such thing as "overreacting" with foraged mushrooms. The bar for "competent" identification is far too high, and the downside of being not-quite-competent-enough…
This should be what we expect to find, at least in US schools, because it was the explicitly stated, intended purpose of Progressive Education. They designed the entirety of their program after the Prussian model which…
Assuming the rationality of economic actors goes wrong primarily because economists don’t know what “rationality” is and come up with weird accounts for what “rational” behavior would be under given circumstances. They…
That's not in his work, though. That's in the insecurities of people who set out to be offended. The closest he gets is the characterization that's it's natural to women to have babies because their bodies are capable…
Did you read half the quote? What exactly was the point of the criticism, do you think?
The fundamental insight behind what became agile is that it isn't actually possible to have both a guaranteed delivery date and a guaranteed set of delivered features. The reality of software development just doesn't…
The reasoning is not circular because that would be devastating to your case? Thanks, Yes man.
It's easier to understand the origin of this thinking if you put it in some of its more recent historical contexts: * The "one drop of African blood" theory of the Democrats' Old South * "Jewish heritage", pretty much…
No, it isn't. There is no secret magical end-run around Say's Law.
Well, AntiFa exists to engage in violence, by their own statements, so anyone "posing as" them to "call for violence" is just playing catch-up.
The United States isn't a democratic government. Democracy is the mechanism by which we choose our representatives, but our form of government is a Constitutional Republic.
Our Sun lab ran on SunOS 4.1.1. Its NFS implementation was so unstable we'd get perhaps an hour and a half of use at a stretch before the file server would reboot... on an 8 machine network.
