It's not nearly as vague as "there are reasons to believe" that the Court "might come for birth control next". Justice Thomas said it very very clearly in his opinion today: "For that reason, in future cases, w

That's not a "fact" at all, actually. I can tell that you tried hard to frame the issue in such a way that you could present this "fact", but it's still just an opinion. In fact, for many centuries, a lot of pe

There are certainly consequences to cannabis use, but let's not get carried away. At least for the vast majority of casual users, this isn't anything remotely close to a $100/day habit. Common sense should inform us of that,

Neither of those options fix this issue. Cartridge metals can seep into the vape material over time or after elements have been heated up a few times; testing won't catch that. Making your own distillate, similarly, won't protect

"So does sugar" is not an argument. Neither is "if we forbid everything that might be dangerous". Let's try to move beyond Page 1 of the textbook for Logical Fallacies 101, please.

I don't think anyone can say, in good faith, that Juul didn't mean to market to kids. That doesn't even pass the laugh test. Every single facet of their brand design, products, and marketing were clearly and obviously intende

Except this is Samsung, the most infamous benchmark-cheaters in the world, so their 3nm process has an actual feature size of...around an inch.

True. Fair enough. It's hard to figure out precisely what the right way to measure this is.

You might want to actually read that Wikipedia page; those figures are very very heavily massaged in multiple ways, and not everyone would necessarily agree with how they are massaged. Suffice it to say, there's a large fudge factor he

The French actually are not "obviously" "quite a lot poorer", actually. Income is better distributed there and there are fewer criminal enterprises accumulating vast wealth. The median income in the US is barely higher t

I suggest Bosch. Especially for dishwashers. My old apartment had one: 7 years with zero issues. My new house has one: zero issues, the design is a real pleasure to use, and it also happens to be the quietest dishwasher sold in the US, at l

That has already happened. Numerous times. Including right now. That doesn't automatically mean it's dead. If it did, well, it'd be dead already. :)

Actually, about half of the political spectrum of the US believes (or steadfastly pretends to believe) that this is precisely what "free speech" means. I guess they haven't processed the famous XKCD on this issue.

Hire talented pros, who care about the details, to design your rack and do your cabling. I can give you some referrals if you'd like. I was on the project to build Apple Park and I know the guys who did the cabling for that job. Extrem

Please don't even try to pretend, around intelligent people, that philosophy as a whole is remotely similar to Scientology. And again, please, educate yourself. Also, you might want to refrain from assuming that philosophy is "my

A lot of those rights are already bought up, in some sports. I suspect Apple will need to wait til those contracts expire, no matter how much they are willing to spend. As for Apple TV+, no, it's not a no-brainer. The approach they too

MLB.tv is way way too expensive for any blackouts to even be legal. Kind of an outrage.

USB-C is, in fact, NOT at all the "better mousetrap" in terms of an iPhone connector. It has no significant advantages for Apple users who already are using Lightning. You seem to be leaving out all the ways in which it's bet

by Bud 4y ago
The debate over Lightning, of course, has nothing to do with repairability. As an aside, you might want to take a few minutes to look up what "monopolistic" means.

You might want to review the part about how most of the civil rights movement's goals were foiled or rolled back, and someone shot all the major figures, and then Reagan happened and we had another half-century of horrific racism.

That is actually featured in the new season of For All Mankind.

Ok, so that's obviously a no, then. You might want to learn something about a given topic before thinking you are informed enough to casually parody it. There are legitimate attacks on philosophy which are possible, but you don't

Of course it changed. It got even worse.

Purely out of curiosity, have you ever even taken an elementary university-level philosophy course? I'm wondering what the basis for all of these rather absolutist conclusions might be.

Not to accuse them of being dishonest, but it also costs them nothing to say that, loudly and often, in a political environment where they know it's not going to happen.

Graffiti was so intuitive that I still have it memorized over 15 years after the iPhone came around and instantly obliterated my usage of a Palm device. My last Palm, the Tungsten T5, still works.

Pretty decent article in some ways, but the book Superintelligence covered all this ground in much more detail in 2014. https://www.amazon.com/Superintelligence-Dangers-Strategies-...
