"Blind isn't an actual biological condition, it's a social category" The same thing can be different categories. Black is social category, and is also a very well defined biological state of the most visible organ in you

I know the people behind statments like these are coming to it with extremly unintelligent and bad faith definitions and intentions, but the actual words are actually correct. If you had the option to delay humanity's discovery of atom

"Believe" is an overloaded word. In one sense, it's simply the content of your mental state. In basic epistemology, Knowledge is defined as "Justified True Belief", i.e. when your mental state matches the actual sta

How would apple know that my app contains my own custom interpreter? It's just a program that takes raw strings (whatever the source may be) and behaves in some arbitrary way according to the string. How can this be detected automatica

It could have been better. We have tons of surviving tablets from ancient mesopotamia, there is no way of estimating a percentage but I won't be surprised if its within 40%-60% range. This is inherent in the mediums used: mesopotamian

I have trouble seeing how this is relevant. We're talking about USA's criminal decisions in the middle east here, which was ongoing as recently as 5 or 3 years ago. And the "other countries are genocidal maniacs as well"

We should exterminate the entirety of humanity then, this is the only sure way to decrease terrorism to exactly 0. Although when you think about it, those single-celled bacteria look awefully suspicious and up to nothing good.

It's not about how much absolute money is spent per each false positive, it's about how much you can get away with wasting. If a decision maker in the CIA is not punished for each brain fart, why would they avoid mistakes ? You ge

You should save the old value of i somewhere and restore it back at the very end of the loop. Or simply define a new j like another comment says.

It has to be an impressive kind of hypocrisy to panic about individuals refusing to associate with individuals out of their own free will and freak out hysterically about "restrictions on freedom"... then turn around and cheer on

>Monopoly on what? On users. Any network is worth a function of the number of nodes in it (typically a quadratic). Social Media are networks that link humans, and there is a finite number of humans (or, more accurately, internet-connecte

So, in simpler words, they are indeed a pseudo-monopolistic (pseudo means apparent, something very close to but not quite there) social media giant that can indeed censor millions (10% of USA's population is 30 millions) arbitarily

That misinformation is a problem doesn't make censorship a solution. By the time you have to shut people down from saying stupid things you're already far gone down the clusterfuck path. (and that's assuming the 'misinfo
