If you have no idea then don't make such a bold and unqualified claim.

So preliminary reports are inaccurate when they disagree with your viewpoint, but you had no problem claiming that actual suicides went up by 50% because over the course of 4 months, a preliminary report showed that suspected suicide attemp

It cost me almost half a million dollars over 6 years to defend myself against a lawsuit that would have otherwise been dismissed had it genuinely been the case that non-competes were unenforceable by statute. The commencement of the lawsui

Your post does nothing but make noise and clutter the discussion. It's frustrating when someone points out a fact that is overwhelmingly true and someone else jumps in with some ridiculous counterexample, even if your intention is to d

Not remotely similar at all. Right now if you don't like Facebook, there's nothing you can do to change it... but hypothetically if Facebook ran its infrastructure on a decentralized platform like Ethereum, then anyone could trivi

It is not possible to have a data race with environment variables across multiple processes. Every process has its own copy of environment variables (in fact they have their own copy of the entire environment). I'm not sure what data r

Your comment is the epitome of what makes discussing nuanced legal issues an absolute farce on this site.

I'm not ignoring it, you can not deduce an empirical phenomenon on the basis of logic. Whether racialized teachers disproportionately fail these math courses is an empirical finding that must be presented as evidence, not a logical con

When a court says that there is no evidence for something, they mean that no evidence was presented to them by the plaintiff (or defendant). It is not the job of the court to be an expert on every subject, it is the job of the plaintiff to

But that source contradicts OP. OP claims that India's obesity rate is significantly lower than Japan's, while your source shows them as being about equal. Is it OP's position that an obesity rate of 3.9% is significantly low

I am unable to verify your claim. What I've seen is that Japan has about the same rate of overweight, obesity, morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes. Is it possible that you compared a figure that combines multiple categories to a figure

Then it's not clear in what way you expect economists to hypothetically use that term, even in principle. Your argument becomes unfalsifiable. If using the term central to describe the "central bank" isn't a prime instan

I am so happy you said this. I always felt like the majority of lectures and content overall is ceremony and that most of the actual substance comprises maybe 15-20% of the overall content. There are times when I can appreciate ceremony, es

The economy as a whole isn't centralized but the commercial banking system is centralized by each nation's respective "central bank" [1]. It would be kind of awkward to claim that economists are unaware that a central ba

So then what do you make of the studies that show that SATs are culturally biased, like the one OP posted [1]. I decided to go ahead and buy it for the 10 bucks and review it. It's a surprisingly technical study that seems fairly robus

It's one of the worst aspects of some (not all) Canadian universities that they use the first or second year as a way to filter students out and the impact it has on students is rather devastating in terms of lost opportunity. Almost 2

Stating that I can imagine X to be Y is not a statement that X is Y, only that if X is Y then nothing changes about my model of either X or Y. That said, I'm not able to verify from a brief search for consciousness and self-awareness t

I think your position couples intelligence with consciousness a bit too tightly. I can imagine a goldfish is conscious but not intelligent and I can imagine a very powerful supercomputer to be intelligent but not conscious. The prerequisite

Only C++ has all of what you mention. Plenty of languages provide RAII without introducing all that complexity such as Ada, Rust, Vale. D has RAII but unfortunately it too carries much (but not all) of the complexity of C++.

You can't just call something you disagree with pseudoscience. Pseudoscience is when an argument is presented in a way that directly suggests it's a scientific finding, or suggests that it follows the scientific method, but does s

You had every opportunity to present whatever justification you wanted to establish the categorical nature of your argument, and you chose to post some fairly mixed evidence and then turn around and make it seem like I'm the one who&#x
