Yes, I copy/pasted then forgot to change a variable. When will coders learn, eh? :) I've fixed it and noted the fix. I also agree it would paint a more accurate political picture, less black and white.

Sorry for the confusion, that line wasn't about the elects. It was about the people . Yelling and screaming and threatening half of the country pushes them away - it doesn't bring them closer. I've had a lot more hate for be

Surprisingly, namecalling doesn't sway votes. Calling people with genuine concerns about their country and well-being racist and sexist doesn't win you votes. Calling half the country Deplorable doesn't win you votes. It do

I was about to post something similar, CTLR+F and found this post. :) "Deep C" illustrates the difference well between people who know C and people who know C . A bit of it is language lawyering, but some of it can be practical -

There are better war simulators if that were the purpose. There also wouldn't be a need to publicize it. Finally, big data/A.I is already used by the military. It probably isn't "decision making" levels, but it does

The difference between carrying 2lbs or carrying 6lbs is negligible to me. Unless I'm going hiking with 80lbs of gear, I won't appreciate a loss of a few pounds. Any scenario I can imagine where I'm already carrying 80lbs in
