> Okay, this is clearly not a discussion worth having. 100% agreed.
This type of social control is so bizarre to me. Like, here's a literal script for you to read from if you'd like us to stop attacking you in the future.
That's great for solving known problems, like maybe Coke could estimate that reducing turbulence in their pipes in Warehouse ABC would save them a half million dollars a year. Then they can set aside money, maybe insure…
I have a hard time seeing taxation as always theft. In a democratic society the public either is or was part of the decision on whether or not to fund things like the LHC. If society agrees to pay for it then by…
That's the problem. They can't answer that question and neither can the market. The market is great at assigning value to things based on scarcity and demand, but there will never be scarcity of the Navier-Stokes…
I think the comments above are pointing out what appear to be perverse incentives surrounding seeking mental health resources. It raises the question of whether those incentives could be changed in a way that all…
Grandparent comment was saying "X is bigger than Y", saying "Y is not zero" misses the point. sqeaky's comment offers an explanation. I don't fully agree with it but it's a productive step forward in a discussion. When…
If facebook is just now announcing their upgrade should we expect these prices to go down?
Since KE = (1/2)mv^2 we can just do the math. Say m=2 so we're just left looking at the v^2 terms: 120^2 - 96^2 >? 24^2 - 0^2 5184 >? 576 So yes, the KE difference between 120 and 96 is greater than the difference…
Well I stand corrected, thank you. I found this really cool map that agrees with you, even if I kind of wish it had names of particular schools along the arrows.…
Wow. Dorje Chang, Fa Zang's teacher, claims that he's the 3rd incarnation of the historical Buddha, the one that Buddhism is based on. But this Dorje Chang lineage isn't a lineage in the sense of The 14th Dalai Lama, or…
"If you meet the Buddha on the road..." is a specific Zen teaching. Any time you see words like Dorje or Rinpoche it's safe to assume your dealing with Tibetan Buddhism which differs significantly from Zen. Zen is like…
