That's a most unusual definition of decisive.

I doubt the issue has anything to do with being interesting or not. Do you know this for a fact or can give me anything to follow up on what it means for a decision to be interesting? For example if a decision procedure required the choice

I feel like Buridan's Principle is either poorly worded, or most likely I just completely fail to understand it. The principle says: "A discrete decision based upon an input having a continuous range of values cannot be made withi

You can be in favor of whatever you want, some people like vanilla, some people like chocolate. The issue is when someone who likes vanilla claims that people who like chocolate are acting unprofessionally and doing something wrong or doing

>Academia is full of mechanisms to negatively judge your research work. Fascinating, as I did not find this at all to be the case in general. I imagine in some cases it could be true, but for the most part I found most research in academ

>If you can't be specific enough to be scientific about it, just keep it to yourself.

I don't accept either side of the argument as true, my point is simply that telling someone to keep their story to themselves unless they can present an argument that satisfies a scientific standard is missing the point being made. Peo

I don't think he's trying to do himself any favors. If anything he's trying to do others a favor by expressing a very common problem within academia.

It's not exhausting, you're just refusing to understand the other side of the argument. Criticizing in a vague way is precisely appropriate in a situation where you don't want to make the criticism specific to a single circum

No that's not true, the vast majority of companies/positions do not do this. Most companies that pay very well and are competitive do it, and the reason is because we get so many crappy applicants that it remains to this day the l

You're suggesting that there is some coordinated and intentional scheme by the ruling class to use economists as a way to serve them, my whole point is that there need not be any such conspiracy or intentional malice for this to occur

This is absurd. Naturopaths devote their lives to health and medicine, just to serve their former colleagues who are hundreds of times richer than them? If you actually paid attention to real policy and the sort of practices naturopaths a

What's unclear is your use of the word "rational". It appears you are using that word to mean "actions that are in accordance with values I approve of" instead of its common meaning which is more along the lines of

Costa Rica has the same population as Metro Toronto and 15 times the rate of violent crime. It might be better than some of its neighbors but it doesn't remotely compare favorably to Europe or Canada.

The whole point is that I'm mostly indifferent about whether someone is a veteran programmer with 20 years of experience or is a recent grad with 2-3 years of experience. The number of years of experience matters very little to me. Bot

It's because in many cases the years of experience doesn't count for much, that's why. The sad truth is I get plenty of resumes from people with 20+ years of experience and when I interview them to see how they actually write

The article isn't about cleaning up header files. I don't think anyone criticizing the article is claiming that reducing the amount of code in header files will speed up compile times. The burden that the author should substantiat

Loading the same file from disk twice (which will be cached in memory) and parsing a file are not the same things. Furthermore almost every C++ compiler I'm aware of, including icc, gcc, clang, msvc, has optimizations to special case h

There are no laws against depicting Muhammad in Saudi Arabia. Muslims frown upon depictions of prophets (including Jesus) because of its tendency to result in idolatry, but there is nothing criminal or illegal about it.
