What about train engineers? Sound engineers? Sanitation engineers? That ship sailed so long ago, it did so on steam power. I'm not even going to read your article. Clickbait: denied. Besides, yes, of course, the civil engineer, what if

Girard was a genius. His existence redeemed the entire discipline of anthropology in my eyes.

tl;dr: The journalist doesn't like HONY because it presents individuals as simply "humans", without a group-based social critique. He prefers books where the writer sets out to reveal the hardships of the underclass, and wher

You should have explained that the word is completely innocent, like in "bum a fag".

When we ban stalking we take away the first amendment rights of jilted lovers. When we ban playing loud music at 4 AM we take away the first amendment rights of jerks. When we ban plastering every square inch of a city with ads (to say noth

That thread has some incredibly bad syntax ideas towards the bottom (#22, #23). A binary operator with a space in the middle?

They were right on the object-level (they chose the superior layout mode), but wrong on the meta-level (they violated the standards process). At the time, the harm from the meta-level violation far outweighed the object-level improvement, t

Why do you do this? The key part of your previous comment, the one you yourself put in italics, was " carefully optimized to inflict maximal misery ". The definition that you are quoting now says absolutely nothing about that. It

That is not even the definition of dystopia.

I don't see how that would help. Maybe we're thinking of different things.

Inasmuch as it makes sense to claim one's gut has any notion of genetics, I'd say the gut reaction of the vast majority of people is to reject any suggestion that there are intelligence differences between groups caused by genetic

What if you want to use a function instead of an operator?

I think the real differentiator for a company in this field would be to let you pay full price for your genome, but with the guarantee that they will not retain any copies of it once you have received it.

Basically you're like the people who litter because they pay tax for the government to clean up, only applied to the private sector.

Why would you expect all of your money back? On top of the wasted kit, there's shipping, handling etc. You are of course allowed to withdraw from your decision, but it's unreasonable to expect the other party to fully cover the co

Indeed! I have always been curious about trying 23andMe, but I was concerned about my DNA being forever stored in a database somewhere. Now my decision is final, I'm never going to use that kind of service. I think this is going to imp

Intimate partner violence is pretty much the least likely application I can imagine for a database of random strangers' DNA. What is the scenario? "My husband hit me in the head and I got amnesia, so I don't know who my husba

How are you even using the thing? If you had a trackpad with buttons at the bottom, you'd keep your thumb on the bottom and click with it, while using your index finger to point. Just do the same thing! Are you trying to click with you

Nice strawman. Let me explain like you're five: A) Waterfront improvements are somewhat more socially important than saving the ship. But helping the sick and starving is massively more socially important than both. B) Public bodies

The two knobs you want to touch in this case go in the same direction. You're not balancing anything. You're just touching knobs for the sake of it. If you wanted to balance things, you'd pair an open market with shared rules
