I'm almost with you on this one. I would equate it more to the concept of religion, then the concept of God. There are a number of ways to easily prove the Earth is not flat, but no real distinct way to prove a god does not exist. The

I am trying to think of a way to prove without a doubt that the earth is not flat. I thought about sending them into space, and having them look through a window at the round earth suspended in the black. But then I almost know what they wo

What about a system where, if a product gets a certain amount of upvotes, it gets pinned to the top. So maybe there could be 10 or so products that get pinned to the top each day because they hit a threshold of upvotes, with the rest battli

I mean, but that's what the rest of the season is for right? This episode was merely a setup in order to describe the event/scenario, and we can only presume that the next episodes will dive more into detail to dissect the situati

Right, but this conflation comes up with most political arguments and I think it's a straw man. I don't think that people shouldn't have the right to follow Trump, but it's also true that people are free to hate certai

The scary part is that he has gained a large following of people who think he's just saying "what everyone's thinking". There are many, many people in the U.S. who hear what he says, and then think, "Yeah! That&#x27

I agree, that's why I wouldn't buy one right now. But future technology is hard to predict. I couldn't have predicted something like the app store. There might be some unforeseen killer feature that smart watches will dominat

I assume smart watches are still way too early in their development life-cycle to analyze whether or not they are useful as a product. Remember the original iPhone? It didn't have the app store. The first day I got my iPhone 6, I didn&

And then you think of the thousands upon thousands of years humans have experienced very special, nuanced moments without any way of reliving them. Sometimes you just have to appreciate experiencing it in the moment.

I was just listening to an Episode of the Nerdist podcast featuring Aziz Ansari today and he talked about the issue of people taking pictures or filming his live material and leaking it to the public. He said he had no issue with people rec

As a year-deep front end developer, I have recently taken a strong interest in functional programming principles and am trying to learn their use-cases. Does anyone have ideas for small projects I can complete that will really drive home th

I had not read this before, but I really like it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my takeaway is that since the old master did not accept the young warrior's insults, the insults remained with the young warrior, almost as if he was i

Honestly, I've never had the frayed problem with my macbook chargers, even with 2 years of use. However, I have had to buy 2 chargers since my original one because they will stop working after a couple of years. That's quite frust

I'm curious if anyone knows in what direction a language evolves over time. Does it grow randomly with the addition of words/phrases, or is their a system of 'natural selection'? The American English language is certainl

I really wish they would have separated sugar and fat into different slices. Grouping them makes them seem equally unhealthy and perpetuates the falsehood that fats are inherently bad. A culture can have a high fat intake, with a low sugar

The clear takeaway from this is that PH needs to enter the game market.

I grew up snowboarding Roundtop and it's sister Ski Liberty without having truly experienced real powder. As a kid, it was easy to believe that snow-making was just a part of all ski resorts, and it didn't occur to me that bigger

I will say too, that as I got older I bit more and more into "Ignorance is bliss" being a true statement. Knowing both good and bad results in many emotional responses. The problem is that emotional responses, when they are negati

I had the same revelation when I studied in the Netherlands for 4 months. You think you are going there to learn only about a new country and its people, and you come back having learned equally as much about your own. I also happened to ta

I think you're doing yourself a disservice by saying organic is bullshit. Food isn't always about what you put in your body, but is also about how it affects the environment we live in, and in that sense, organic is definitely not

Subsidies are not just for services that benefit the public. They are used to both fund capital-intensive industries that our country relies on and to make our energy generation competitive globally. To compare the energy industry to a sing

It Follows, along with a handful of others (The Strangers, the Ring, the first Paranormal Activity), was the first well done horror movie I've seen since the BWP. I guess it comes down to what scares you personally. For me, it is much

According to the FAQs, the pod's internal temperature matches that of its surroundings. So, unfortunately it will still be brutal in the winter, albeit better than exposed directly to the elements. But more importantly, where do you pu

This isn't even enough time to significantly increase your strength at a gym, which we know is possible and observable. Why anyone would think this is enough training to produce noticeable effects baffles me.
