Interestingly, here in Japan, I learned that they consider a lower body temperature normal. I always learned in France that the normal body temperature was 37.7C, some people say 37.3. Can be lower just after waking up. For my Japanese wife

It is not a question of lacking good alternative, it is a question of lacking good solutions. Games like FPS that emphasize fast clicking can always be defeated by anything that can emulate clicks and keypresses and see the display. If you

At that time I was in high school, trying to figure out with some friends how to render things in my Turbo Pascal program. At the time we did not have internet, so we were left to figure out how these techniques worked. We knew how to proje

Seriously, do not waste time on the details of the "reasoning". The pillars of it does not hold water either. Even if you assume these falsehoods, nowhere you go from "you need scare resources" to "private ownership

I keep jumping between C++, Python and Java for various projects, and really, they are different worlds. In C++ you think hard about your problem, create strong abstractions that translate into fast execution. That's a highly satisfyin

Direct democracy just means you get a vote on the final decision. It does not mean you have to listen to all the debates.

Yes, we are in agreement to what this so-called reasoning is. So let's criticize it then. I'll refer to your proposal by numbers if you don't mind. 1. is actually two propositions, the first one unnecessary to the discussion.

Yes, that's a common view among several schools of anarchism. Reading Makhno's criticism of democracy, and his alternate proposals, which to my eyes seemed to be a railroad towards dictatorship, made me realize that I was not an a
