I googled him to see if I could find the gist of his claims. I can't find a single thing from him, but I can find a ton of takedown pieces tearing apart this episode. (Bret Weinstein is leaning hard into the IDW thing. DarkHorse? Reall

Oh my god yes. I had a Jasper Report I was working on once that had totals, subtotals, totals of those subtotals... Suddenly I just froze wondering "wtf is a total?!"

My wife and I were just arguing about Adam Toledo, and had boiled it down to which frame within a single second of video matters the most. Obviously we were getting nowhere. How on earth could you get the truth out of that? Then somehow we

I hope I never know the deep, dark agony of having an American Humanist of the Year Award recalled over a tweet. Is the title vacant? Does it default to the second best American Humanist of 1996? Do they have to get the 1996 panel back toge

My guess is that the creepiness comes from the fractal-like nature of these letters -- taking the thing that makes the letter unique and overiterating it. Since nature constructs itself in fractal geometry, the letters are stuck in a half-b

IIRC, BSE (Mad Cow) was spreading among cattle because the industry was using meat-and-bone feed from infected cattle. It was tainting the meat supply because captive-bolt guns spray more brain around than more traditional hammer-oriented m

"Finessing" the conversation and telling partial truth is also lying. No one ever got hired without some lying, whether they exaggerated some part or left out another. E.g. "Why did you leave Company X ?" "I hated

I should know better than to enter a debate of semantics, especially one that kicks off with something as paradoxical as "highly efficient vectors of meaning". However, those dirty practices that the author dismissed really do pil
